Civil Decomposition: About the Government Shutdown

“Even within the ruling cast, it was the nastier children and students who controlled, manipulated and censured their fellows.”

Robert Conquest

An artistic representation of civil decomposition, featuring a split structure of a tower filled with books. On the left, individuals in robes represent tradition and knowledge, while on the right, chaos reigns with scattered papers and figures embodying ignorance and short-term gain. The design conveys themes of eroding moral foundations and the struggle for power over wisdom.

We read of the Kremlin’s mobilizations. Will they really call up two million men next year? Unless Europe begins a process of surrender, it looks like the Russians are going to deploy a very large invasion force for Europe. Are they bluffing? I do not think so. And there is war brewing in the Western Hemisphere as well. All the same, we are reluctant to name our enemies. Trade, money, false narratives, moles, treason, lies and more lies seem to rule the day. Politicians talk patriotism, but only half-measures are under discussion. Nothing serious. It is not a game of defense that we are playing. Trump has advisors who still dream of an alliance with Russia against China. Many people like this idea, but it is childish.

Silly people keep saying that Donald Trump is all about “peace through strength.” I hate to say this, but Trump does not know what strength is. He knows what image is. Trump has certain instincts, but he is a reality TV star. Publicity, hype, image, chattering to make headlines, etc. Whatever truths he utters are undone by the untruths. He has linkages to Russia which have not been examined. And that being said, the Democrats are worse. They have their own Russian connections. The socialist disease is greatly advanced among us, and the Russians were the primary carriers of this disease of many decades. Yet nobody talks about it.

To understand where we are, and where we are headed, one needs historical perspective and economic understanding, plus military knowledge. I do not see anyone in politics today who has this knowledge. Honestly. One tidbit, which is worth setting out, comes from Wilhelm Roepke, sometimes credited as the father of the post-war German economic miracle. In his book, The Moral Foundations of Civil Society, he wrote something that touches on our current crisis:

Dangers and Symptoms of Decomposition: Now the task of achieving and keeping in being a well-balanced government which is legitimate, associative and decentralized is of course immense. Even under the most favorable circumstances deep insights, a sure instinct, a sharpened sense of responsibility and unlimited patience demanding no rapid results are all required. But the task is rendered so extraordinarily difficult through a mass of dangers and symptoms of decay now threatening the modern state….

The first and perhaps the worst danger of all is the overburdening of the nation — something which in itself is already a characteristic feature of the modern interventionist ‘welfare’ state, and which has been multiplied many times over within a single generation through the immense efforts and expense of two world wars. In a collectivist state it reaches a degree which utterly destroys all hope of a legitimate (associative), democratic and decentralized type of government. Even the soundest government can be burdened only with a certain optimum of activity. If this is over-reached then the balance between the collective organization and the individual is destroyed. Bureaucracy, mechanization, centralization and autocracy become unavoidable and with these things comes increasing hostility between government and governed. This endangers the moral foundations of legitimate government and finally annihilates it. Like the government and society of antiquity, modern government and modern society are on the point of succumbing to étatisme [statism] and collectivism and, as formerly, of bringing down their whole civilization and culture with them. [pp. 92-93]

According to Roepke, when the government takes people’s money and manages nearly every aspect of their lives from medical care and old age to childcare and family courts, a tremendous corruption sets in. Pressure groups also form. He says that “disrespect for law and corruption become ever more general and finally poison all the arteries of society.” I believe we are arriving at that point, and the communists are directing the process. The shutdown of the U.S. Federal Government is a marker on the road to federal bankruptcy and civil war. When the black market makes its appearance, and breaking the law become necessary for survival, society will face internal destruction exactly as Russian society was destroyed under the Soviet Union, or Chinese society under communism. Roepke’s analysis continues:

“Now this overburdening of the government is very much increased through a development which is intrinsically calculated to undermine the state; the increasing exploitation of the government for the satisfaction of the desires of parties or groups which in the end leads to the management of the whole nation by these organized and powerful groups. By this means the government becomes the spoil shared by mutual agreement between these powerful groups which elbow out the weaker parties they do not need to bother about. What then happens is this: Firstly, the inherent tendencies which are already overloading government are enormously strengthened, secondly, government itself decays through the struggles of pressure groups and is robbed of the dignity appropriate to an institution…. [pp. 93-94]

Lazy thinking then makes matters worse. “When demanding assistance from the state people forget that it is a demand upon the other citizens merely passed on through the government,” noted Roepke. Furthermore, bankruptcy can arrive quite suddenly in the form of runaway inflation. Gold is now approaching $4,500 per ounce. This is not a measure of gold’s actual increase, but the dollar’s devaluation over the past year. Sad to say, the dollar is falling in absolute terms. And this is happening because of the advance of collectivism, statism, socialism, etc.

An illustrated depiction titled 'The Sacrilegious Void - The Ascension of Materialism', featuring four panels discussing themes of materialism, faith, and societal revolution. The top panel illustrates a hand reaching towards an eye symbol, rejecting the concepts of heaven and hell. The middle panel features historical figures promoting atheism and destruction of faith, while the bottom panel portrays a mechanized workforce and a call to abandon traditional beliefs in favor of force.

According to Roepke, the claim of certain groups on the people’s money will eventually divide the nation, or lead to its enslavement. Division will occur along the lines of those who want to pass laws to loot the property of others. Already taxes are extortionate. And inflation is the highest tax of all. It is a tax on those who are frugal and hard-working.

People say that the government owes them money. What they should say is that their fellow citizens owe them. Any excuse will do. Today it is easy to avoid work. The Russians and Chinese, who are the leaders of the socialist camp, are expert plunderers. The Russians, for example, plotting many years to reacquire the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, which was no longer in communion with the Moscow Patriarchy because that patriarchy was under KGB control. After the fall of the Soviet Union, the KGB worked diligently and succeeded in reuniting the whole and appropriating Church property (even in the United States). This is just one operation in which the Russian intelligence service acquired vast holdings in the United States. The Chinese are also engaged in operations of a similar kind, acquiring land and businesses in America. Always, someone is robbed or cheated. Facts and figures are misrepresented. Here we find a series of hostile takeovers. Think of those who are turning a blind eye and getting paid.

“One of the worst sources of the disease today is unquestionably socialism in the true sense of the term,” wrote Roepke, “above all of the Marxist type which … has been preaching civil war for a whole century.” [p. 94]

According to Roepke it is impossible to be, with equal sincerity, “a Marxist and a Democrat.” The more you are a Marxist, the less you can be a democrat. The deeper the influence of this fatal dogma, the greater the degeneration which society suffers. Socialism is the mortal disease of our epoch. It grows out of the gradual evaporation of people’s sense of self-responsibility.

We are, as individuals and family members, responsible for ourselves and our families. The government should not be taking care of us from cradle to grave, for the government has the responsibility of organizing our defense against Russia and China.

And this defense is now greatly encumbered.

This is just one operation in which the Russian intelligence service acquired vast holdings in the United States.

    QUESTION:

    This is very interesting information about this particular KGB plan. That the KGB infiltrated and took the Russian Orthodox schismatic Church over is no secret, but that they would plot this in the US is a new information, although not surprising at all – they have to neutralize all threats to their “collapse of communism” fraud and this is just one of the very many avenues they took to achieve it.

    A source stated that one time in France, passing through Alsace (eastern central France, almost at the German border – near city of Mulhouse – it is not a mule-house, the pronunciation is French, not English), a person that belonged to the local Russian Orthodox place stopped and offered a help to this source…and took the source to visit the local Russian Orthodox place – and there was their “priest” and a person who spoke very little French, but pulled out a tablet and searched for the place where the source wanted to visit, on Google Maps – in Russian Azbuka alphabet !!! – which means the man was a Russian national or somebody connected there.

    The source said that they offered the source the place to stay for the night and then pointed to source the right direction, the source didn’t feel safe at all in that place, although they were very polite…something was not right, the source says. They informed secretly the place the source wanted to visit (incognito) so the secrecy was lost…the place of inspection – visit – was prepared and no discovery of anything out of the ordinary, except the usual problems, which the source registered, as they cannot be hidden – this was the work for the Catholic Church, the rest is internal business of the Church. But the point about this visit is remarkable – and so this point in the article struck a note, the source says – and it truly makes sense more so now. So to confirm this point about the KGB using these places of Russian Orthodox outside of Russia, this situation in France should help to confirm, and the source thinks it does…

    Just to convey the message, further details about it would help even more – where that information comes from and so on.

    But anyway –

      Forgot to add – the statement “after the fall of the Soviet Union” should be amended, as there was never any such thing, so the wording should be “after the fraudulent alleged fall of the still to this day fully communist Soviet Union”.

      Russian communists have not yet proven to the world otherwise that they have given up communism, neither it is even possible that diabolically possessed atheistic criminals would venture to do so, because the first mad person over there who would so much as insinuate that something like this should be considered would have his life expectancy terminated by a very swift KGB visit – probably the Popov or Pavlov (forgot the name) cremation treatment would have no doubt followed.

        That would be excellent.

        BTW, the Orthodox had a sort of “council” – at least this is the information – in 1970 and they agreed to the change of the original Greek Liturgy to the local languages in each and every country – and this is absolutely forbidden to be done as only the Holy See can approved any changes (but only very minor, not something like this) to the Liturgy – the Mass.

        The penalty is the censure of excommunication and also cut in their Apostolic Succession, which is by far the worst part of it – and it nullifies their “ordinations” so such people are no longer priests etc. no matter how many times they call themselves as such.

        Forgot the name of that city where the “council” was held, but this is first class information from one of these “Orthodox priests” outside the KGB Russian connection.

        But most of these Orthodox churches have already separated from the Catholic Church long ago.

        But this information you posted is new and very important – it illustrates the overall communist attack against anything that pertains to God.

  2. You know, just like Putin plays his christian act, doing the cross sign, and wearing that cross necklace as he bombs the elderly and children, there’s also some of that theater in the Trump administration, especially by his press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who despite donning a cross, on TV acknowledged that Russia attacked civilians, but then added “likewise Ukraine attacked oil refineries”, so to her there’s no difference between blatant war crimes and a country attacking the refineries fueling the war machine that carries out vile, barbaric acts every day.

    Recently, a person privately asked Leavitt how Ukraine is going to agree to anything that a new meeting between Trump and Putin in Budapest, given that the last time they signed a paper over there it was trampled by Russia and the US, and right now the government over there is openly anti-Ukraine, after being asked who suggested Budapest, Leavitt replied “your mom”. Sure the press has their part in a lot of what’s wrong today but this was a perfectly valid question. It really looks like Trump administration is composed entirely by stupid people when you see episodes like this.

      The design of all this serves the purpose and the Center couldn’t be happier about the overall performance of the controlled opposition.

      And when it comes to Trump, he wouldn’t pick somebody that would not be approved or could become a security risk or liability, and the Center and the discipline they are all, the assets, under, prevent loose ends – and so people will continue to lie and deceive and make “deals” with the communist criminals like that was nothing seriously and morally evil…and it is extremely evil and must be always avoided – to have anything to do with atheistic illegitimate tyrannical deceiving criminal regimes and with the KGB Mafia running them.

      Your point is on the target, except that the sinister part is that it is not possible to know exactly who is not the enemy, because there are probably more enemies within that one would or could imagine possible…and this is the tragic consequence of being for many decades lenient to this communist atheistic evil system….the ending of this is coming, they will not tolerate peaceful co-existence any longer.

    2. Personally, I am not sure why we have to pretend as if there is zero difference between Trump’s policies and Communist-backed Leftist ones. If Kamala had won, the J6 prisoners condition would worsen, political prosecutions would have worsened, and Trump would possibly be in jail. The transportation of millions of foreign nationals would have escalated even more, foreign gangs running wild, social systems collapsing, with inflation continuing and possibly a currency / debt crisis with a Communist at the helm. People do not realize just how authoritarian Kamala was, and the raids she conducted on pro-life activists in California.

      Trump has stopped the rapid population expansion, the lack of domestic security, stabilized the finances somewhat, lifted the boot off the neck economically, increased domestic energy production, boosted funds for domestic criminal illegal alien enforcement, has been deporting foreign agitators, suing leftist institutions and weakening them, making life safer for black Americans who were suffering under leftist criminal rule, renegotiated many trade deals to try to improve American finances, and authorized the creation of a missile defense shield. He’s also allegedly been sharing intelligence with Zelensky on the whereabouts of Russian missile defense systems so that Z can take out more oil refineries, which reportedly has had a big impact on those strikes. That’s aside from almost getting murdered of course.

      I don’t think Trump is perfect by any stretch, but it’s almost as if people forget where the country was at in November 2024 and how much worse it could have gotten. I find the rhetoric comparing the two sides honestly insane sometimes.

      1. I also agree that Trump is preferable to Harris.

        But for how long ?

        It is the 2 steps forward, one step back – and he seems to be the 1 step back, but for how long that will last…?

        And he hasn’t done anything so far to amend this situation so that the secret communists couldn’t hold any political power at all – and Obama, Biden, Clintons, Soros, and the rest of the KGB assets, they all walk free, as if the word communist subversion meant nothing.

        People will truly wake up one day in one of the Gulags and then what will they say then ?

        It is the appearance of amendment that blinds, but the overall results show the cunning design in light, in truth. It is not sufficient to do partially what must be done fully, just because the person claims that it is sufficient, because the evil then still remains, injustice continues, and the danger of communist tyranny increases – and so what good is such a leader when the communists still work their evil plots and subvert and destroy more and more the existing order.

        But who will decide what is the truth and what is not ?

        In non-Catholic countries the door is open for such “democracy” which is no longer the truth but a mob-rule and leads to socialism and communism at the end.

        In truly Catholic countries, when the government is truly Catholic (none exist today !) the Church is the guiding and deciding power and the government is the executor of such laws of the state, sanctioned by the Church, the true Catholic Church – being guided by the power of the Holy Ghost.

        Then the harmony of the common good and liberty remains, otherwise evil times come and the civil strife and the danger of communist revolution increases, crime flourishes, injustice increases, government corruption is the daily occurrence and becomes systemic.

        That is how you know that God is offended and He is not helping the disobedient human souls to gain anything good, only degradation and ultimately destruction of the existing order and its replacement with godless communist tyranny, at the expense of “democracy”.

        1. The communists have been on this track for a long time. We are simply being drawn into what was long ago set in motion. Most people simply do not read, do not understand, and are clueless. And that includes people in government as well as “experts.”

            Russian communist subversion and infiltration is unlimited operation, they are not satisfied until they control everything and then they get paranoid, as all criminals are paranoid, and so they subvert more and more, and then they get more paranoid and murder more people who could potentially stand in their way – and on and on and on…communists don’t stop installing communism when the rest of the world is leaning by apathy, indifference or gross incompetence or negligence of the government and by the state run perverted education towards it, communists are fanatics and they don’t quit until there is nothing more to subvert – that’s how the KGB criminals truly operate, as anything less is revisionism and treason to them and they are willing to murder their own rank for it, or for inadequate medium success results….

        2. I think there is evidence to suggest that Trump is the only reason God has delayed his judgment upon America. If he had not stepped forward, there is a high likelihood this nation would be a communo-fascist dictatorship. If you cannot recognize or admit that he has made sacrifices to do what he sees as helping his country I cannot help you. If we are playing the game of listing all of the ways our politicians have failed us and their shortcomings, I could do that till the cows come home. I just see two possibilities and know one is better than the other, that is not a statement on America’s solvency, financially, militarily, spiritually. In fact, there is a lot of evidence to suggest that Trump is merely delaying the inevitable. But this is a deeper spiritual problem, there is a new generation coming, the old one is fading away, and the old Christian heritage is fading, and with it, one would imagine God’s protection is too.

            This is official view, proposed to belief by the “conservative press” etc. (some with Russian communist connections).

            When you realize that Trump is vastly tied to KGB agents and operations (see the book We will bury you, of Gen. Sejna – the plan for the US), and that he is helping Russian communist cause by accepting Putin’s terms and seeking to have good relationship with these Bolsheviks, then God didn’t send Trump to anything – as that would be a heresy – Isaias says – “…woe to them that put evil for good and good for evil, light for darkness and darkness for light…”

            No, God didn’t send Trump, the devil send Trump to betray the country and help the communist cause – as the controlled opposition. The rest was already explained before, several months back.

          2. Can you explain how exactly he is accepting Putin’s terms? Is cutting off their oil revenue and applying sanctions part of Putin’s terms?

            You have the typical western mind thinking, oriented only in terms of economy, but that is immaterial and purely academic viewpoint that has nothing to do with the advancement of communism.

            You have to think in terms of the Russian communist military strategy, and in terms of their communist subversive operations, otherwise the truth will escape you – always ! But Golitsyn warned about this western blindness, you have it !

            Trump is helping them in not doing enough to isolate them, to expose them for who they are, the whole communist criminal strategy.

            Moreover he has not rebuilt the military, especially the nuclear capability, as he often brags about it how he has done it, Russia plus China are armed trough their teeth and have overwhelming nuclear and bio-chem superiority over the US.

            Trump speaks about the “most powerful military in the world” – but that is not the truth. Then he doesn’t speak about the several hundred of deep underground bunker-cities in Russia, that have been built over the course of the last 25 years, as command posts, production sites and nuclear warfare bunkers, and Russia’s advancement in Venezuela and Mexico and so on, and so this is how Trump is accepting Putin’s terms – he IS involved in helping Putin and the whole communist Mafia to install their communist tyranny worldwide.

            You speak about Golitsyn – but you are saying something else now, something that contradicts the warnings that Golitsyn and other defectors have made – serious warnings not to have anything to do with Russia and China and the rest of the Warsaw Pact countries, as they are ALL communist criminal states, with one Center – the Kremlin.

            ADDITIONAL POINT :

            A politician becomes morally corrupt when that politician accepts the legitimacy of a criminal communist system states, allows the state he represents to have and to maintain diplomatic recognition and contacts with such communist states, accepts their terms and gets involved in economic cooperation, is eager to maintain that cooperation at the expense of the principle of justice and truth, allows the communists to dictate the terms of their own involvement, makes concessions to the communists when it comes to helping countries that are under attack from the communist states, and so on – and in fact, Trump is willing to leave the NATO, abandon Ukraine (overall that is what Trump has begun to do).

            Trump wants to pull Us troops from Europe when Russia is preparing for invading NATO member countries, and Trump is not ordering production of more advanced ICBMs, the US nuclear deterrent is old and almost out of commission, and the nuclear “shield” remains several years delayed because Trump allowed a long term KGB asset to steal the presidency and thus to delay the necessary military upgrade and production to be implements – this is how Trump helped Russian communists to advance their evil cause – be helping them to gain more superiority and to cripple US military defensive capability.

            But as He says – without Me you can do nothing – so the soul has a holy obligation to acknowledge the Divine help when the truth is understood (and understood to be the truth as such), and when the knowledge is presented – not for self-elevation but for edification of those who are not in possession of it but do seek it – and this is not pride, but an act of charity towards your neighbor, whom you wish to be warned – here about the true dangers of communism. That was the initial point, nothing more – and to bear witness to the truth – no, you are not ignorant person, that is the truth, and do be thankful to God for this gift, as there are many obstinate ignoramuses in this world who are rejecting humility and in their blindness accept the “word of honor” of these communist criminals as true.

  4. Good morning Jeff,
    First of all, thank you for this wonderful text. A thought. Some time has passed since the end of World War II, when our current “democratic systems” were born in Europe, and there is something to reflect on. To attain power, a person/party must be elected, and to be elected, they must not tell the truth but say what the masses want to hear, not what is right and good. There are few intelligent people who love their country, while there are many who think only of their immediate advantage; and it is the latter, who are more numerous, who decide the outcome. There is no solution; we are heading for disaster.
    Now in Italy this phenomenon is tragic, and generally throughout Europe. In America we see the MAGA phenomenon appealing to instincts in order to gain power; it doesn’t matter if you are intelligent and capable.
    We must recognize that we have eliminated God and His Law and have relied on our own decisions, with these squalid results.
    Just think of the laws on abortion, euthanasia, and all the other terrible laws; the people approve them (power belongs to the people). Evil destroys us, makes us wicked, selfish, deceitful, and stupid. We vote for our leaders, and here we are today. Jeff, you’re too different, like a man who finds himself amazed in this world of blind people. For what little it’s worth, I admire you and pray for you.

    Dear Jeff, do you know this book? Memoirs: József Mindszenty. Here is the link in English: https://archive.org/details/memoirs00mind

    1. I have not read this book, though I have heard about the author. Your comment on democracy in post-war Europe is worth adding to. Lord Byron once described democracy as “an aristocracy of blackguards.” When young I thought this was too harsh. But now I think it has some truth in it. Perhaps we can qualify Byron’s statement. The outstanding tendency of democracy is that it allows anyone, supported by money, to reach high office. What was once the concern of genuine aristocrats is now open to empty ambitious mediocrities. Lust for power is a destructive disease in mediocrities. Such individuals often become demagogues supported by masses of misinformed voters, financed by plutocrats. This steers us away from statesmanship. Democracy is, indeed, the declining form of authority. Misgovernment results. It is no accident that honor and virtue are now less visible in our leaders.

        The term of “liberty of conscience” has been abused and taken out of context, so that when it is used in the strict sense against the communist censorship and tyranny, the meaning is that when this term is applied as resistance to the communist enslavement of mind and soul, and this in order to remain true to God, in this strict sense, as being Catholic, it is usable, but otherwise it doesn’t exist – the door is not open for a human soul to engage in evil, to spread falsehoods, to spread lies and deceits and or perverted ideas that will ultimately lead to Hell at the end – such “liberty of conscience” in front of God does not exist.

        One of the extremely important publications on this subject is the Encyclical Letter Mirari Vos of Pope Gregory XVI, where he explains these errors and condemns them by the Apostolic Authority.

        So that human souls have no authority to offend God, by their stubborn adherence to evil, lies, false doctrines, heretical and apostate and thus false religions and so on.

        So then when the country that strives after “democracy” is being governed by people who want to transform the existing order, however imperfect that order may be, and bring about the one (communist) party rule instead, and when such people are helped by the already brainwashed populace to gain that necessary political power, then such “democracy” becomes the very obstacle to the liberty – liberty that is necessary to serve God and to remain truly Catholic.

        Thus the Catholic Church has always condemned such systems that plot such evils, and even though the Church doesn’t favor any particular political system, She warns about the consequences of abuse and tyranny that may follow when such like perversions of the Law of God are introduced – and or outright disregard of God’s Law as socialism and communism demands.

  5. Hello Jeff, I was curious about your opinion on something. Here are two videos from Russian propaganda:

    1. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lRTAKzPmsSs

    2. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WiXq-Trl1pU

    The first one is before the Tomahawk decision is made, the second one after. In the first, Solyvov threatens the US with an alliance of Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, which I found quite interesting.

    In the second one, everyone is smiling and laughing, and they are supposedly celebrating Trump being back on their side.

    My question: how do you interpret content like this? We know that they know that we watch their state media.

    On one level, it could be as simple as, they want to project Trump as their man to the West, thus bolstering the Leftist’s narrative, thus praising him when he appears to help him. Of course, Communist speech can sometimes be multi-dimensional, as in, I found their threats of combining all forces with China/NK/Iran insightful and reminiscent of One Clenched Fist, and sometimes they wish to make the threat anyways, regardless of if there is a justification, in order to lay the groundwork for their victim as having caused it, and to prepare their population. I am not totally convinced they were that scared of Tomahawks, but am open to the possibility they were. I have heard their main drone manufacturing facility is currently out of range of Ukraine and would have been in range with Tomahawks. What are your thoughts overall, both on this issue, but also on whether there is a logic to how they structure their propaganda in their state media?

    1. Russian state media is focused on raising the morale and motivation of the Russian people. They know we are NOT seriously preparing for war and do not understand the danger. They don’t care if a few Americans notice what they are saying on Russian TV. And they certainly want Trump rather than a socialist president to betray the United States. Then the socialists here can arrest genuine patriots when Trump fails to stop Russia. All Republicans will be guilty. Right?

  6. As an aside I wrote something about what I perceive as *roughly* the starting point for foreign racial operations in the US, if Jeff doesn’t mind me sharing the link here. I don’t know too many other people who would even be interested in it lol, aside from this crowd:

    Just for those who still don’t fully grasp the seriousness of the situation, the following video (found by “coincidence”) should show the hideousness of these communist criminals.

    The video, the source says, is from 1980 – it is titled TOP SECRET – from Czechoslovak communist Air Force, tried to put the subtitles on it, if it doesn’t work you would need to put it there on youtube manually so that you can see for yourself what the commentator says – it is about a Air Force training exercise – on a regular Interstate !!! (closed for that exercise that day obviously).

    MIG – 23 – and you can see how advanced that fighter jet was even back then.

    They were training the landing on US and the western European NATO countries highways etc. – when they were plotting to invade – and so it stands – to test how that would work – and so they had to do it back then so that when they began to play “friends” and the collapse fraud, they wouldn’t have to test it now so that it wouldn’t raise suspicions.

    On his radio show last weekend, Larry Kudlow mentioned China driving up the gold price as a way to attack the dollar. He also claimed to have evidence about it. Jeff, you have mentioned items from Russian media about financial attacks on us in 2001 and 2008. What would prevent a sovereign state like Russia and or China which can generate endless fiat currency from buying up massive amounts of physical gold and futures contracts to attack the dollar? The people in these places already live with high inflation and economic mismanagement. I know our nation’s finances are in a bad way, but they’ve been so for a long time. Is this gold price really because the straw broke the camel’s back or is something else going on?

    1. It has been alleged for many years that the price of gold is been kept low by artificial measures, and these measures were probably intended to protect the dollar. Now gold is finding its real price. I believe it will go above $5,000 per ounce. More than a decade ago, one of the former Fed Chairmen suggested that $5,000 per ounce was the real price of gold. Russia and China began collecting Gold in the late 1990s. The pace at which they want gold is probably accelerating. Gold is what you want in advance of a war. War always brings the price of gold up.

    The main problem and serious danger from their planning is the following option –
    they can escalate the civil unrest and even civil war the present time situation and then use this kind of vulnerability to begin their communist revolution – by taking over the leadership of such a pro-freedom revolt, or even establishing their own provocation in order to have a “legitimate” cause to use force and to terminate any such situation….

    It is this kind of situation that could easily escalate into a bloody conflict and victory of the communists, as they must be convinced that the time is ripe, that they control the majority of the main sections of the government, all the way down to the local levels, and that the people are not united nor have the resolve to attack the “seemingly legitimate government system”, even though the communists know where all of their assets are located and that the whole government is in their hands – so far in secrecy, but when this opportunity arises such communist agents will deny the legitimate laws and all the constitutional constraints and will only help to secure the victory of communism instead – and all controls and orders come from the Kremlin, the KGB and related Russian central communist centers.

    This is the main and extremely serious threat, and the reason why this is mentioned here is that they have done it before, except not so much in secrecy, when they decided to take over one country after another, most of these communist subversive operations were successful.

    That is the danger today, because communist agents in charge of federal agency, Law Enforcement entity of any kind (Federal, state, local etc.), and a military command of any kind, such agents will not advertise that they serve the communist cause until they are ready and ordered to execute the final blow to freedom and a forceful installation of the communist tyranny – which might be too late by then to be substantially prepared to resist it…and to be able to destroy them.

    There were millions of people in Europe who practically overnight became slaves of the Russian communists and their local communist tyrants and where asking themselves the desperate question then – why didn’t we do more to eliminate these godless tyrants before they made us into their slaves ?

        Ask the Spanish Catholics who won against the Stalin backed communists back then, they would have said the same thing – and they were outnumbered in the beginning, Franco landed in Spain with 20 thousand foreign legionnaires – against the communist controlled part of the Spanish army !

            This is misleading – Stalin was channeling heavy weaponry into Spain via the Black See and the Mediterranean, and what the 95 % of Franco’s army weaponry was afterwards was this same Russian tanks and heavy guns the commies were leaving on the battle field and were running away in fear of the Catholic forces – see the stats from the book Spain, the vital years (1962) by Louis Bolin, it is all there, the figures.

            Franco has 1st class military force, and the communists had all the international brigades, among which was the US communist Lincoln Brigade, gone to Spain to murder Catholics.

          2. That came later, after superior Italian and German weapons had also come into the fight, tilting the scales. The Republic was at a distinct disadvantage after the war of columns grew into regular warfare on a vast scale. Study the order of battle. Franco had the better battalions. Only at the very outset did the Republic have a brief chance had they moved quickly in the North. But they did not understand the danger to their position, being over confident.

            And the whole of Spain was under the communist rule when Franco entered from Spanish Morocco with the 20 thousand troops, he was highly outnumbered.

It is the majority of weapons Franco military forces had – they were Russian made tanks and so on. He knew, he had to supply some of such information to the press at briefings. Moreover when the liberation of Spain began, Franco got more and more ordinary people to enlist in defense of their country against the communists.

      It seems obvious they are trying to provoke him, most likely into doing the sanctions he just did. Which must make you ask why, and the only reason I could think of is so they can have a pretext for war. Medvedev’s comments immediately after basically confirm that. “This is an act of war.”

        ANSWER:

        They want to maintain his credibility by pretending that he is turning on them and that he is beginning to realize that they are not on the level – but observe carefully the results, not the speeches or opinions trying to present Trump in a favorable way…but what is important is to recognize that this is directly from the communist KGB playbook – they may even begin to make “threats” against Trump, but more important is what he is doing towards them, and how that helps their long-term strategy – that is how you will recognize that he is actively helping them, and of course in observing what he claims to have done and it is not the truth – in regards to the US military capability.

        And the delays about the US sanctions of Russia and China, and he wants to have a good relationship with both communist regimes, even though China is behind the Covid virus and the toxic injection (which Trump promoted himself), and the communist advances in South America, China’s threat against Taiwan and so on. Trump is not an idiot, he is involved in helping the worldwide communist cause.

        1. And so how does that end then? Trump facilitates a nuclear strike on himself? By all means lay out your theory, I always listen to everything, but the specifics are rather unclear regarding how you see it playing out.

            QUOTE: Trump facilitates a nuclear strike on himself?

            ANSWER: Where did you read anything like this in the above postings ? Nothing of a kind was mentioned anywhere, are you being serious or you just want to ridicule ?

            If you don’t understand that a sincere politician cannot in conscience lead the country he represents into contact and cooperation with the godless atheistic communist and thus criminal Mafia that has been plotting to destroy the western civilization for over a hundred years now, Russian Bolsheviks at the helm of this evil plot, then you just have to wait until they begin and see for yourself how you like to be witnessing the evil communist results yourself – and they will be very evil, you know.

            You mentioned Golitsyn, but so far it seems that you have not understood what he wrote, and what not only him but other defectors have warned about. Just think about it – by making the Russian communist threat marginal or that Trump is somehow (nobody knows how that would be) not on their side, that doesn’t help, nor is it presenting your opinion as valuable or sincere.

            This is not an insult, but a serious admonition to be more careful not to fall for the communist strategic deception, Russian KGB deception that is, of which Trump is part of – evidently so, by his own involvement, as has been already explained many times.

            It is not the fault of the truth that those who don’t hold it don’t see it, that is the truth, and that those who claim to value justice are willing to settle for compromises on justice, as Trump has done and continues to do.

          2. I’m trying to understand how you see it playing out. Golitsyn said they would engage in “restructuring” the governments of the West, and he thought eventually their power would be so great the West would surrender and enter the one world system. Jeff seems to think they go the nuclear strike route; so yes, I’m trying to understand your general perspective of how it plays out. Personally, I think they can force Europe to enter the system, but not the US, and especially if they nuke the US.

            This is an excellent point and question.

            Follow the history of communism what essentially worked for them the best – and you come up with the answer – which is communist subversion.

            This is just an opinion. Golitsyn knew about the long-term plans, although not the very details and that he defected in early 1960s, which point he had explained.

            So the opinion is this:

            1) communist subversion
            2) if that is seriously hampered, provoke the civil war, take over the initiative and execute a communist revolution
            3) if this is not fully successful or when the smoke settles down (if or when the both camps are at stalemate so to say) – begin the terrorism part of the attack
            4) a country weakened is then ripe for a nuclear and bio-chem annihilation – and Russians etc. will never hesitate to use it

            5) – these points could be reversed if necessary, to the extent that the civil war could be contemplated firstly, even at the expense of the communist revolution, if necessary, but then soon after the terrorist attacks and nuclear etc. attack would commence.

            The worst part is that there is no way to tell how far they have progressed with the communist subversion operation, but that it is their main weapon is known from the bloody history of communism, and they know it, they are doing it now.

            Mr. Nyquist is not wrong in his opinion and the country must be prepared to face both options if such a country wants to survive and remain free of communism. But what Golitsyn said about the restructuring has been almost accomplished already, so there is no great contradiction between these 2 points, time-wise that is.

          4. Personally, I think that restructuring has been accomplished to a great deal in Europe, but that depends a great deal on what everyone believes the term to mean.

            To me, “restructuring” meant slowly changing the laws of the Western democracies to slowly become more authoritarian. This is and has been accomplished in Europe, as we can see with the free speech laws, the massive transportation of hostile foreign nationals into the nations, their complete stranglehold over the political structure there, the conversion to the EU, etc.

            The US was on the same track, albeit slightly behind, but in my opinion, Trump’s elections have drastically diverted the US path from Europe. He has reined back many of the fascist laws they were pushing in the US, and this is why it was so important for them to get Hilary or Kamala. Biden did a good job promoting their authoritarian agenda setting new precedents for rising fascism within government and politicized persecutions.

            But the US and Europe have diverged wildly, in my opinion, in terms of their levels of advancement along “restructuring” lines. A Russian-promoted civil war seems more likely now and we can already see this in rhetoric and attitudes, even from Russian lawmakers on state media.

            Perhaps an economic crash would force the US to its knees. But I don’t see Trump surrendering the US to them. So I suppose that is where we diverge in our analysis. And if he doesn’t surrender, but moreover interferes with their plans, as he is doing, attacking their proxies Iran, Venezuela, Colombia, cutting off revenue, eliminating their drug cartel proxies, deporting dangerous foreign nationals, stopping the narcotic murder by them – these all turn back the tide in many ways. And so in that case I see them having no other choice but direct war with the US. It also depends on their timeline and if they can wait him out.

            Trump is not the final stage, he is the stepping ground to it, but not the final stage – unless they cut the time short for that matter.

            They wanted to gain the advantage in nuclear superiority, which the now have. But they know that it will not last too long, but Trump is not doing enough and fast enough to rebuild the nuclear deterrent, and Mr. Nyquist has stated himself that Trump only wants to produce more plane bombs, but not the supersonic ICBMs, nuclear etc., which is a strategic and (in this person’s analysis) intentional blunder and a serious treasonous act, which will only be understood too late when the Russian nukes are used to destroy the US.

            And don’t forget – Russians can use any Islamic cover they control, including Iran, Taliban (even them, believe or not), and so on, and unleash the nuclear attack through such Islamic (communist run) countries.

  12. With the announcement of recent sanctions, part of me wonders if the stories of Trump “blowing up” at Zelensky is kabuki theater designed to give Russia the impression that Trump is equally split, between both sides, able to be convinced. Trump sometimes strikes me as shrewder than he appears. We know that he is working with Z to destroy the refineries, working to put pressure on India, pressuring Europeans to stop buying their energy. It could be absurd speculation of course, but possibly worth considering.

    We will have to see the nature of these sanctions, whether they target the shadow fleet. Europe is reportedly preparing their billionth sanctions package too, but something tells me Trump will have influence this time in what they do. I was not convinced that Biden or the Europeans were actually trying to harm Russia before financially. But it’s possible that the Euros are forced to or look complicit in front of Trump.

    If he does go through with strong sanctions, I imagine the state media there will immediately return to attacking him.

    I also have to imagine this is related to the bizarre story of Trump’s call with Putin, stories of a meeting in Hungary, and then it being abruptly called off. I wonder if Putin signaled openness to freezing the battle lines where they are on that phone call; otherwise why would Trump mention that, both to the press and to Zelensky? And then immediately Lavrov comes out and smacks down that idea. I wonder if Trump got sick of this game they’re playing and this is his response.

            Hitler was a socialist, which is one step away from becoming a communist. He was pre-positioned favorably towards communism and Stalin in 1939 when they made that Molotov-Ribbentrop pact of non-aggression.

            Of course Hitler was a unique case of a pathological psychopath, and so his case doesn’t illustrate well the general KGB espionage recruitment policy as applicable towards what the situation is now – and that being that far back in time means that even if your assertion was accurate, they have learned from their mistakes and amended the recruitment policy since – and several times. In case of Trump – that would be the updated policy for sure, and that says that the recruit must accept the Marxism-Leninism ideology after he or she is recruited, and that the ideological goals of communism must be understood by the recruit.

            Moreover back then Trump was not the head of the state as Hitler was when he dealt with Stalin – and Stalin didn’t want any friendship with Hitler, he just wanted to use Hitler to get inside the western Europe after Stalin lost in Spain, and Hitler was the possible vehicle by which the Bolsheviks could have entered…but then Barbarossa changed the whole situation as Hitler apparently found out that Stalin is about to double-cross him, which was the truth.

            Hitler wanted to test some new weapons, but that was what it was, tests, not a substantial help against the communists, and then in 1939 he made that pact with Stalin and so Franco was not involved in WW2 neither was Spain nor the Catholic Portugal.

            But most of the Franco’s army weaponry were Russian made and were from the commies leaving them on the battle field, including tanks and heavy artillery guns, while the commies in fear fled for their lives – (Capt.

    Medvedev says sanctions are an act of war and U.S. has now allied with Europe. Part of me wonders if they were goading Trump into doing this the whole time. Someone showed a chart where after every call between him and Putin, attacks on Ukraine would spike. The only point of that is to make him look foolish. The Marxists often do binary win-win situations, where they want a response back, and so they provoke, wanting to attack their victim anyways and needing the pretext. I remember Russian channels making propaganda of US soldiers on their knees rolling out the red carpet for Putin.

    Marcus Lemonis says small businesses are really not doing well. I 100% respect Lemonis as a businessman and he has the courage to straight up tell the Fox hosts their propaganda is wrong. Dagen McDowell and the other lady embarrass themselves in this clip. But Lemonis says small biz is really struggling – this is an enormous warning sign that Trump must heed.

    If the dollar is depreciating at this rapid rate because of the treasury/gold move, the small businesses are dealing with the tariffs plus more expensive foreign inputs.

    I think the US could have handled the tariffs, but they cannot handle these cost hikes at this fast a pace. And I assume that is what Russia and China know.

    The Fed resumed quantitative tightening after Trump took office, shrinking the money supply and thus reducing economic activity. They also resumed student loan payments.

    Apparently there are bankruptcies which are worrying people. The subprime auto lender. The auto parts supplier. Rumblings that lending standards were much worse and much too lax. If true, we have many businesses with bad debt out there. It’s echoes of 2008.

      1. I have looked it up and it seems in biblical parlance it can be a transition point. Eleventh hour is one. Revelation 11:11 is the midpoint when the two witnesses are resurrected. I have seen a Catholic exorcist say 11:11 is your guardian angel.

        I am not one to flippantly look for patterns where none exist, but I am also not one to ignore when something is happening, as is/was with this number I keep seeing.

        One of the more recent ones was when Trump went to Israel. The minute he signs the guestbook, it turns 11:11. I found a video with the time: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nSV6fI7_8hM

        There is info in revelation regarding Israel, a covenant etc. but I don’t know how a 7-week / 1,260 day period fits. I do think it could be relevant that Trump recently did this peace deal with many Arab nations.

        Jeff, what are your thoughts on 3I Atlas, the “comet”? I am generally not one to go too far on alien speculation. I have watched some of your more obscure appearances on this topic and you seem fairly knowledgeable. One woman I respect is Karla Turner, an Arkansas professor who left her position to research this. She is interesting in that she said that they were essentially evil, yet the people organizing the major UFO conferences at the time were clearly coordinated to give a message that they were “enlightened” and “morally superior”.

        https://m.youtube.com/shorts/ORoAOA9SC54

        This is a panel she did where the men on it are clearly running the thing and have some type of agenda to portray them as noble and superior. Karla Turner was fairly unequivocal in stating these were negative, predatory creatures.

        https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKkDk9s6ZCY

        There is this narrative which I think is Kremlin-linked that positions UFOs/aliens as superior beings who will step in to prevent humanity from destroying itself through nuclear war.

        There are things that are anomalous about this “comet”; it is going extremely fast and is one of the largest things we have seen. It has entered our system almost on the plane that planets orbit on, which is also extremely unusual. It has an unusual chemical composition, a very high amount of nickel and low iron. Nickel is used by us for rockets and such because it has high heat dissipating properties. It also has a high amount of carbon dioxide, unusual for a comet.

        https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bwJgcflf0lM

        It also does not have a tail like most comets, but an “anti tail”, which pushes out in front of it instead of behind. Lastly, the only moment when we could get eyes on it, when it passed Mars, we got zero pictures because of “the shutdown”. We still have zero good pictures of it. And now it will be behind the sun, shielded from our vision, for a while. Additionally, some say that is the moment that it could drastically decelerate, if it so desired, using something called the “Oberth effect”, which amplifies maneuvers when using a larger body’s gravity. Ordinarily, it would be shooting out of our system by the time Earth swings around. But if it decelerates who knows.

        https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UpA3kNWVPOs

        The reason that i find this strange, when combined with current events, is the alien narrative. Also if you watch that video, that man says he thinks they would show up immediately after a nuclear strike, to portray themselves as saviors of humanity. Those are people approaching the topic from a biblical perspective.

        There is this video making the round of a “remote viewer” saying 3I Atlas is a ship with “Draco Reptilians” on board. He also says CERN opened some type of portal and is communicating with these, that they appear to them holographically and then “telepathically” communicate.

        https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A1PGfVX1z9s

        I know you have done work, Jeff, on how a lot of this could be a trick or technology of some sorts. It doesn’t seem like it would be difficult to “project” some type of image into human brains.

        Karla Turner used to do hypnotic regression with abductees. She worked with the premier US researcher Barbara and also a Frenchman. What was interesting to me was she said at the deepest layer, when she peeled back the “false memories”, the abductees would describe them as Reptilians.

        This is why I find this confluence of events odd. Jeff have you thought about this aspect at all and do you find it relevant whatsoever?

        1. I am a great admirer of the late Karla Turner’s work. I find her early death from cancer somewhat convenient for the dark beings she was exposing so valiantly. “Masquerade of Angels” is the most terrifying UFO book ever written. And it is a factual account. The importance of the numbers in Revelation may be quickly summarized: 27, 144,00, 666, and 1260 all have the same root meaning in the number 9, which is the number of death and rebirth. “I am the alpha and the omega,” Christ says.

          I am not very knowledgeable in the subject of aliens, but I think there can be good aliens as well. There is an opinion that some of the tribes of Israel were taken not just to the North, but to the space, similar to the way how the city of Zion with Enoch was taken to heaven. It is in Deuteronomy 30:4 (KJV): “If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee.” And I’ve had a dream (in 1988-89) about good aliens arriving in the darkest times before the Second Coming of Christ.

          1. There are stories like this. It’s hard to know what to make of it all.

    Jeffrey, I’m Brazilian and I don’t know English. The philosopher Olavo de Carvalho wrote on Facebook and Twitter that the European Union would not survive an alliance between the US and Russia. He and the globalists of what he called Western globalism, bankers, big families, etc., would be destroyed. He spoke favorably of an alliance, but seeing his work, the objective of Russia and China is not to ally with the US but to destroy it. A follower asked what the fate of Europe would be. Olavo responded in a comment below these posts that the US and Russia would divide what was left of it. I’ve seen former students of Olavo protesting here in Brazil, claiming that he was a perennialist, a follower of René Guenon (what’s your view of René Guenon, Jeffrey? What’s your view on Olavo’s speech? I’ll leave the texts below because I don’t know how to share the link. “A US-Russia alliance, today an effective possibility, will be the greatest political-military force the world has ever seen. The globalist elite, compared to that, will be a monkey fart. I don’t know how things will go.” take, but it is OBVIOUS that Trump and Putin are thinking exactly about this.” – Olavo. “If Donald Trump is elected, he and Putin have all the conditions to restore the bipolarity that has ensured peace since 1945. It is the best thing that can happen in the world.” – Olavo (2015)

    1. I do not understand these remarks of Olavo. This statement only shows that he did not really understand American or Russian institutions. Political science is not an easy subject, and one needs a lot of detailed knowledge to prognosticate.

    On one hand, he knew the danger of Russia and China, he even quoted you and said that you are the greatest political analyst in the world, but on the other hand, he posted this and many of his followers are celebrating the fall of Ukraine and the supposed union between Putin and Trump. Sorry for my English, Jeffrey. I’m using Google Translate because I don’t know English. I’m an admirer of your work. God bless you!

    1. I did not know Olavo had said this about Trump and Putin. Many philosophic people make a simple mistake when analyzing the USSR/Russia. They underestimate or misunderstand the political evil embodied in a bureaucratic mechanism and in Marxist philosophy, not understanding bureaucratic machinery as a conveyer of certain fixed behaviors and attitudes subject to inversion (or perversion). They think the Bolshevik regime was a continuation of the Russian Empire. This is like saying a demon inside a possessed person is a continuation of that person. No exorcism took place in 1991. I cannot emphasize this enough. The continuity with Czarism is an illusion. The regime after 1917 is a Satanic inversion. Putin is Satanic just like Lenin.

        So do not call yourself ignorant if you understand this point about the communist system being the work of the devil – that is being highly advanced in understanding of the truth, which often ignorant people, some of no fault of their own, lack.

        The level of satanic evil in human soul is measured by the souls separation from God, so the communists lead in this aspect by a long measures….

            You don’t see it that way ? Why, what is wrong with that definition – you have written above the truth about communism being diabolical, Lenin and Stalin, so evidently you do understand that the devil is the author of this evil atheistic ideology, which is a complete subversion of any belief in God. Why are you saying this ?

            Diabolical possession is an extremely serious state of the soul, the only way to cure it is by a valid Catholic exorcism, it takes months and even years to achieve it, the devil is not willing to leave the souls he possesses without the struggle and the true Catholic Priest, an exorcist, employs a solemn form that many times has to be repeated…the devil is very cunning and is willing to suffer much by remaining inside the soul…and so on.

            Good source of information is the book of Rev. Fr. August Poulain, SJ – The graces of the Interior Prayer (early 1900s print, several editions).

          2. It’s not altogether polite to make everything about your religious views, especially as you seek to be scolding and correcting people for not believing exactly as you do. There are people from many different denominations here. And some secular people, too. We need to focus on the topic without dogmatizing along religious lines. Respect is all-important here.

            Are you saying that the truth has to be sugarcoated before it can be presented here, so that people who don’t hold it or don’t agree are not offended by it ?

            Nobody’s holding anybody hostage by anything, we all have our free will and need to answer to God for what we have done, good or bad.

        2. The entire Marxist framework is Satanic, simply by virtue of it taking the diametric opposite position to everything that is good and strengthens a society. I would go so far as to say it is perfectly Satanic, in its mathematical neatness in always doing the exact opposite of ideas and institutions we understand to be good. The opposite of something is as far as one can get from a point before coming around the side again. But Satanists have always had this weird parasitical, orbiting position with God, they never invent anything, they simply do the exact opposite of God’s instructions. They are an anti-ideology in the sense that they don’t stand for anything, they only stand against something. Jeff has written before about Marx’s destructive tendencies and an anti-ideology can only destroy, simply because that is the only thing it is designed to do. In many ways, satanic Marxism could not even exist without God, but God could quite easily exist without it, because a positive, affirmative ideology stands FOR something, while a negative, negating ideology first requires a thing to negate.

          1. It is actually rather interesting when we consider the fact that Marxists seek to raise the level of misery, sadness, hatred, and pain within a nation higher and higher, until the society breaks asunder, so that they can enter the ashes to build their devilish dictatorship upon. That is the purpose of disintegrating the family, the church, breaking every bond, and turning everyone against each other.

            Seen from this perspective, it is actually quite fascinating that Jesus said “love your neighbor”. He was not merely advocating a way to live, he could very well have been trying to warn the people how to protect their societies from turning into literal dictatorships. I have noticed time and time again this parallel between what the Soviets or special services would do, and what a traditional preacher would say Satan wants to do. And yet the Soviets did it specifically for strategic purposes, because they saw a distinct military advantage. They did not do it for idealistic or sentimental reasons. Promoting promiscuity, or abortion, or divorce, or atheism, etc.. The practices of the Soviets THEMSELVES prove that Christian doctrine is not merely a religion, but actively strengthens a country and protects it from subversive attack. How incredible is that?

          2. It is Christianity’s emphasis on goodness and Truth that is decisive. Communism takes the opposite path.

            You are confusing 2 different section of human belief – Satanists do believe that the devil exists – on the other hand the devil controls the more the communists precisely because they don’t believe that he exists, it makes that diabolical stranglehold over them that much more easier for the devil to hold – and the history of communist atrocities and murders and tyranny, which history is by far the most evil than of any other ideology or philosophical thought or opinion ever in existence, that is what proves this point that there are no worse kind of human beings in this world nor have ever been than the atheistic communist criminals – and the devil fully controls them.

          4. Number one, I am not completely sure that the highest levels of communists do not believe in a devil. Jeff has mentioned before of an occult belief that some of them share that large sacrifices are necessary for big gains in their power. I have actually seen a Russian lawmaker make this exact point on state tv, but in classic inversion he was accusing the West of this. But all of their accusations are confessions to those discerning enough to see.

            But secondly, my point was more about the overall “anti-“ nature of Marxism, and how that mirrors the “anti-“ nature of satanists. Satanists would do explicit reversals or inversions of Christianity, saying the words backwards, turning the cross upside down, parody prayers, inverting the roles of the devil so that he becomes a liberator instead of a tyrant.

            To me, it matters little whether an individual communist believes in the devil or not, I am saying their practices and the mathematical structures of their ideologies are very similar in being “anti-“ versions of everything that is good and true.

            If anyone of them publicly acknowledge any belief other than in their evil cause, they are reprimanded and removed, if necessary. If for example Putin began to believe that God truly exists and that the devil exists, they would have removed him from power…and call him revisionist, subverting element and so on, a traitor to the communist cause. They would not hesitate to assasinate anybody from their leadership positions who so much as whispers about God and or about the devil, other than in deceptive and agreed upon strategic “appearances” designed for the blind western consumption – this has to be understood.

            It is the point, yes, but to illustrate the the further away from God a person is, the better and firmer the diabolical stranglehold is over that soul by Satan, that is the distinction between the Satanists and the atheistic communists, as the latter are by far the worst of any human being who had ever lived on this earth…as the devil is their master and without any restraint.

          6. Mephistopheles was the self-described “spirit of negation” and as such was Marx’s favorite character from German literature. But it is fiction, and language is metaphorical. Perhaps reality itself is metaphorical.

          7. I seriously doubt whether Marx or Lenin or Stalin thought Satan was a real person. There are books on this, but a full discussion of this would be interesting.

            Satan is an evil spirit, fallen angel, not a person. This is not open to discussion, as it is the doctrine of the Catholic Church, and already established long ago, infallible doctrine.

            See for example Summa Theologiae of St. Thomas Aquinas, he speaks about this subject, forgot which book it was, there are about 21 volumes.

          9. Satan is considered a person in Christian theology. Read the book of Job. Read Aquinas. Yes, St. Thomas Aquinas says Satan is a person. Aquinas identifies Satan as a fallen angel, a being that is a distinct, rational, and individual substance, which aligns with his definition of a person.

            It is not in literal sense, only in the figurative sense, as sometimes the Holy Scripture refers to him this way, but he is an evil spirit, not a human person in that sense. So the clarity of the distinction should be maintained, for the sake of the truth,, this is not some rebuke, but a fraternal correction.

    In Brazil, the right is very pro-Russian. A good portion of Olavo’s students are anti-Ukraine. Many Brazilians are also anti-Ukraine. They believe that Russia represents tradition, and that’s terrible. Jeffrey. As a Brazilian, I sometimes feel unmotivated, so I like reading your articles, even though I use Google Translate. I’ll buy your other two books. If the US is attacked, may God protect you and your family. Olavo responded to a follower who questioned what Putin wanted. Olavo said that he only wanted to restore the old Russian empire, which harms no one but himself, that is, the Russian people, and harms no one else. This is terribly naive. Olavo was a perennialist. He was certainly anti-modernity, and the solution, in his view, was perennialism. He really liked René Guenon. Jeffrey, he wasn’t a genuine Christian, that’s why I stopped following him (but I recognize his merit). I’m a biblical Protestant, and I don’t agree with that. My country is dominated by communists. The people are highly functionally illiterate, one of the highest rates in the world. My country doesn’t produce intellectuals at your level. Here (there is no one at your intellectual level here) the people are bestialized and the people are unarmed, poor, stupid, and the Olavian right is in favor of tradition and sees Russia as the savior of the world and preserver of tradition against the “evil” West. I just had a rant, Jeffrey, sorry.

      Russians succeeded in creating an image of themselves as traditional Christians not just with Brazilian’s, but with many “advanced” Western people. Even many educated Ukrainians wait for Russians to invade Ukraine, because they feel it will bring a better rule and greater culture. Russians are never stingy with propaganda expenses.

    2. What you say is very important, Antonio. I hear different things from Olavo’s followers. I am aware that most of them look to Russia as traditional, but his closest friends do not. I spent many hours talking to Olavo and stay in touch with his friends. I know he read my book; but i was baffled by some of his formulations. Are Brazilians not aware that Russia and China and Cuba act as one in South America and support Lula? Surely they can see it. Olavo taught this, didn’t he? I would like to know more details from you.

    ANSWER:

    This is the point – the Russian communists, possessed by the devil, have to obey the devil, and so he uses them to install these evil vices in people, promote them, except sodomy, that they have never tolerated and it was embedded in their “criminal code”. They don’t even tolerate it now in Russia, to certain extent.

    Of course they sought to degrade the morals of the enemy, so that the enemy would be abandoned by God (which is the aspect of the devil’s involvement, he it is who forces these slaves of his to further these evils upon those who still claim to belong to God), and it is also an important military strategy – to weaken the enemy, the enemy must loose its identity and its virtues, then the enemy is ripe for the communist assault and takeover.

    This was the Bolshevik Revolution based upon – Lenin knew that the Czarist government has to be removed, he waited for Kerensky to take over and then the Bolshevik revolution had open door – the country just recovered from what the removal of the Monarchy cost, and the Bolsheviks seized the opportunity and took over the country afterwards – a weakened country. This is how they learned to utilize these evil means, it is in their subversive doctrine also, that is correct.

    Trump stated he canceled a planned meeting with Putin in Budapest because talks “don’t go anywhere” and it “didn’t feel right” to meet when they weren’t going to reach an agreement. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the goal is to pressure Vladimir Putin to accept President Trump’s proposal for an immediate ceasefire.

    This new round of U.S. and European Union sanctions are targeting Russia’s major oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, along with dozens of their subsidiaries. Together, these two companies export 3.1 million barrels of oil per day, representing 70 percent of Russia’s overseas crude oil sales. Rosneft alone is responsible for nearly half of Russia’s oil production, which accounts for 6 percent of global output.

    All property and interests of the designated companies in the U.S. will be frozen and U.S. entities will be prohibited from doing business with them. The sanctions, which take effect November 21, give traders a 30-day grace period to wind down business with Rosneft and Lukoil.

    —–
    So Trump is pressuring Russian communists to “come to terms with him” knowing full well that they will only do what they want, so now he is presenting this not yet imposed sanctions on Russia, and so then they come to some kind of agreement, he will dismantle these “sanctions” and the game will just continue on and on and on – and Russian and Chinese communism will continue progressing, alive and well…

    Sanctions don’t work, and he will not cut them off completely, he got their KGB dirty money, he is tied with them, with Soros – from whom he received the large loan for his Chicago Trump Tower, and so it is just like the usual – and nothing substantial is changing, communist assets as Obama, Clintons, Biden and so on walk free, criminals all of them, Bondi is not going after the Epstein criminals either, Trump only says she “should do something” but that’s all that is happening, nothing else – well, INJUSTICE is the rule of the day, and continues to be the policy of the state.

    I hear about vigorous activity of Roskomnadzor in shutting down messengers and restrict internet access in Russia. Just recently, they conducted something like drills — they shut down Telegram throughout the entire southern part of Russia — in the Rostov region, in Krasnodar Krai, in North Ossetia, across the North Caucasus. Some cities don’t have internet after 8 pm every night. Total shutdown.
