MOSCOW — In the lustrous, vaulted throne room of the czars who came before him, Vladimir V. Putin on Monday reclaimed the Russian presidency. A 30-gun salute cracked over the eerie quiet of the city, and Russia’s defense minister returned to Mr. Putin the black suitcase that contains the controls to a vast nuclear arsenal.

Outside the Kremlin walls, Mr. Putin announced his return in another way. The police swept boulevards and squares, detaining anyone they saw wearing white ribbons, the symbol adopted by anti-Putin activists.

Riot police officers in camouflage charged into cafes and restaurants in search of protesters, in one spot sending cups and glasses flying. Once in police custody, scores of young men were referred to military draft offices.

The clampdown underlined the challenge ahead for Mr. Putin, who even as the sweeps were taking place promised to expand Russians’ rights and freedoms, as well as their direct participation in government.

Though he handily won the presidential election in March, Mr. Putin, 59, faces a rising generation with no recollection of the Soviet system that shaped his worldview. They do not fear the state, and they are apparently prepared to fight for power from below, said Alexander Rahr, a Russia expert with the German Council on Foreign Relations.

“He is caught in the understanding that he is the savior of Russia, that everything depends on him,” Mr. Rahr said. “He sees himself as a historical figure already, a man who prevented the collapse of the country. The problem is, now he has to meet the real demands of people who are 30 years younger than him.”

No one in the Russian National political movement—or just anyone for whom his Russian identity is not simply a matter of fact but a defining aspect of his life, beliefs, and actions—should harbor any illusions regarding the corrupt, grotesquely hypocritical, bureaucratic and police-state nature of the modern state authority and ideology existing in the Russian Federation. All this is true and doubtlessly affects our lives. And yet the single most important thing to understand is that this system is explicitly and purposefully anti-Russian.

Although we cannot exclude that Putin and his close circle dream about their ‘empire’, there won’t be any place in their ‘empire’ for the Russian spirit and Russian ideology, just as there was no place for Russianness in the late Soviet Union. Remember that the process of destroying the Russian nation and Russian worldview, unprecedented in its scale and consequences, was launched precisely in the Soviet Union and the current authorities of Russian Federation carry on this process more or less consistently. The Russian culture and the Church were being destroyed in the USSR. Internationalism and inter-racial marriages were promoted. The USSR has done everything possible to make people to identify themselves not as Russians or Tartars or Tuvans but as Soviet people. All the facts show that it is the USSR and not the old Russia that serves as a role model for the current Russian authorities. They are building a post-Soviet state and not in any way a Russian national state. I consider this statement essential because of the conclusions and actions that follow from it directly.

A Finnish national newspaper quotes a report from the Ministry of Defence in Helsinki, saying the profound demographic changes since the fall of the Soviet Union are having an increasing influence on Russia’s domestic and foreign policy.

Author Eeva Nikkilä-Kiipula, quotes a government report in the newspaper Aamulehti which claims Muslims are seriously changing the essential character of the Russian population. According to a report, these changes already represent a serious challenge to Russian internal stability and domestic policy.

The last 20 years have seen important demographic changes in Russia. At the beginning of the 1990s, 149 million Russians lived in the country. By 2007 the total was seven million less. Numbers are diminishing by approximately 400,000 per year.

The situation is completely different in areas with a Muslim majority. There the population is growing. Average life-expectancy is considerably higher than in traditional Russian areas. If demographic growth continues in the same way, by 2015 the majority of Russian army conscripts will be Muslims. Five years later 20% of all Russians will be Muslims. By mid-century, a majority of the Russian population will be Muslim.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the self-confidence and identity of Russia’s 20 million Muslims has risen dramatically. In 1991 there were 300 mosques in the country. By 2007 there were over 8000. Most new mosques were built with foreign money, mainly from Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey.

The 60 Islamic schools in Russia today educate approximately 50,000 pupils. There was not one Islamic school in 1991.

Debunking fraud allegations in the recent Russian elections

The banner reads, “We are for Normal distribution.”

On Saturday, December 10, 20,000 people gathered for a mass rally in Moscow; they were protesting alleged fraud in the December 4 parliamentary elections. Some of the allegations were mathematical in nature.

The Washington Post reports:

“Obviously, he [Putin] doesn’t agree with Gauss,” one commenter wrote, referring to pioneering mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss, who lived 200 years ago. Disenchanted Russians argue that United Russia’s reported election results are so improbable as to violate Gauss’s groundbreaking work on statistics.

The article does not say what exactly the problem with the election result is and what work of Gauss is relevant. It only says that he lived 200 years ago. This should be enough to trigger an alert, as science has advanced a bit over the past 200 years . . .

I decided to take a closer look at the allegations.

The true measure of democracy is the extent to which a government trusts its own people. Dictators and oligarchs invest an inordinate amount of time and effort in insulating those who exercise power from the mass of the population. However, in societies where power derives from the people themselves the organs of government have nothing to fear from the populous.

An important Chinese philosopher once said that, “power comes out of the muzzle of a gun.” This is perhaps a simplistic statement, but it is true that the more democratic a country the easier the access the people have to weapons. Absolute rulers do not trust their people to make their own decisions. Such rulers certainly would not entrust their subjects with firearms, which are the implements of power at a personal level.

During the Soviet Union the access of the Russian people to guns was heavily regulated. Rifles handguns were virtually outlawed for the civil population. Possession of smoothbore shotguns was only possible for members of government approved hunting organizations who passed careful scrutiny. After the demise of the Marxist state there was some small loosening of the restraints on the people’s firearms liberty. However, the democratic concept of a universal right of law abiding citizens to bear arms was never enshrined in the constitution of the Russian Federation. Alas, as the present Russian government systematically erodes the political rights of the Russian people it isto be expected that draconian controls on the Russian people’s ownership of firearms will surely follow.

A book review by John Kuhn Bleimaier

Contemporary art has been subverted by abstraction. Traditionally art conveyed a straightforward image or idea. The extent to which art approached reality determined our assessment of the talent of the artist. Genius attained verisimilitude. For nearly a century now art has ceased to strive for realism. Serious artists now create their own abstract symbols and signs relying on the observer to unravel a puzzle. This applies equally to the plastic arts and to belles lettres.

Not surprisingly the field of semiotics has arisen in order to systematically study the philosophical meaning of signs and symbols. Ordinarily I have little patience with modern literature which couches meaning in a fog of innuendo. I believe that great thinkers express themselves clearly and that obscurity can be a clever device for concealing emptiness. For this reason I have not been tempted to delve into the convoluted study of semiotics.

The Italian writer Umberto Eco is one of today’s principal exponents of semiotics. His recently released novel, Il cimitero di Praga, is a case study in semiotics. Ordinarily Eco’s writings would not enjoy a position of priority on my reading list. However, Eco’s new novel deals with some of the almost forgotten political phenomena of the 19th century which peak my curiosity. The book touches upon allegations of Jesuit, Masonic and Zionist conspiracy theories. It delves into the historic events surrounding the Paris Commune of 1871 and the Dreyfus affair. The novel’s characters include monarchists, communists, anarchists, republicans, Bonapartists, Satanists, spies and provocateurs.

“Divide and Conquer.” This concept has been the centerpiece of tyranny for centuries. Those who would control a society must break it down into its component parts and turn the constituents against each other. Using this principle a well organized minority can successfully rule over a large amorphous population.

Colonial empires have been established utilizing this cynical tool. The British ruled the vastness of India by exploiting the enmity between the Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs. A tiny group of unified colonial administrators were able to control hundreds of millions of relatively sophisticated people by exploiting their internecine hatreds.

“Divide and Conquer” has also been used within western societies. In the Habsburg Empire Austrians administered the Czech lands while Hungarians ran the bureaucracy in Slovakia. In the early days of the former Soviet Union Latvian punitive battalions were used to pacify restive Russian populations. Historically some dictators have utilized the tension between social classes, such as that between peasants and workers, in order to consolidate power in the hands of an autocrat.. Examples abound.

Representative democracy was designed to break the cycle of tyranny. By having the populous elect representatives who would work out their differences in a legislative forum there would be no dictator to exploit internal divisions. Consensus building would replace inter-group struggle and autocratic fiat. In many western countries democracy functioned reasonably well for a time.

However, from the second half of the 20th Century the concentration of enormous wealth in the hands of the few has skewed the social balance. This has been exacerbated by the fact that many members of the new economic elite view themselves as distinct from the people at large. When a social, ethnic or religious minority controls the means of production the temptation is overwhelming to resort to the old tactic of “divide and conquer.”

Disaster struck the old provincial town Pokrov in Central Russia. People did not immediately realize the gravity of situation.

If there are no jobs in the whole area – it is bad, but not a disaster – it is possible to grow food in the garden and orchards and earn some money from odd jobs in Moscow. If most young men stumble drunk each day, porn plays on primetime TV and girls whore themselves out to rich men it is bad, but not a disaster. There is a chance that they will grow up and settle down.

But cheap Afghani heroin that gypsy dealers brought to Pokrov was not only a disaster - it was a death sentence to those who used it. It is impossible to cheat heroin, it is impossible to grow up and settle down if you curiously tried it a few times. As a rule the first dose is given free of charge by “friends” or smart drug pushers.

Heroin becomes destiny and what an easy destiny to choose. The chance to live is the same as for a suicide bomber or kamikaze pilot. The former die for their nation and ideas. The heroin addicts die from weakness and stupidity.

Heroin was for sale everywhere in Porkov: in schools, at youth disco-parties, in restaurants and even at bus stops. The gypsy tribes know business well. They always “help” drug users. If an addict is hurting for money, he may buy on credit. Then dealers will help him pawn belongings, sell his car, home and land.

Where were the police? At first they arrested a few heroin pushers, but immediately the bribed prosecutor came to the police station and claimed that the searches and arrests were done unlawfully, so it is necessary to free all the criminals. Critical evidence disappeared from police files.

The only case that appeared in the criminal court looked like a joke. All gypsies claimed that the huge heroin shipment, intercepted by the police belonged to a pregnant gypsy who had six children and was pregnant with the seventh. Her tribesmen hired the best lawyers in town, bribed a few people and she was sentenced to probation. The inspectors who intercepted this shipment were quietly dismissed from the police force.

As you’ve probably heard by now, a Russian design firm has been condemned for…well…evoking fascism in a recent advertising campaign.

Russia’s Winter Olympics slips into controversy over ‘Nazi images’

Tom Parfitt, The Guardian

A promotional campaign linked to the 2014 Winter Olympics is stirring debate in Russia because of its use of allegedly “fascist” imagery.

The campaign employs images of blue-eyed, blond sportsmen and women which have been described by critics as “neo-Hitlerite” and “like something from a Leni Riefenstahl film”.

Images of an Aryan-looking snowboarder and an ice-skater gazing into the middle distance dominate giant billboards in Moscow and feature on the cover of brochures to advertise Gorky Gorod, an elite housing complex being built at Krasnaya Polyana near Sochi on Russia’s Black Sea coast. The complex is a private-public partnership which will be the Olympic media village at the 2014 Games.

“Without doubt the authors of this advertising were inspired by Nazi art,” said Ekaterina Degot, a well-known art historian and former curator at the State Tretyakov Gallery.

When the billboards were put up, the Russian art collective Voina, itself known for its controversial painting of a 65-metre penis on a drawbridge in St Petersburg, tweeted: “On Pushkinskaya Square opposite Gap, there is a huge advertisement, openly fascist in style, for elite housing in Sochi.”

Thanks to the freedom, liberty and Constitution loving newspaper, AMERICAN FREE PRESS, the continuing crimes against humanity in the form of non-consensual experimentation on American citizens are finally being brought to the attention of citizens across the nation. If these crimes are not stopped, this will be the future for all of us.

America has become an electronic concentration camp, and the many targeted individuals who have come forward claiming they are the victims of non-consensual experimentation and torture are guinea pigs of this program until it is rolled out for everyone to “experience.”

We’re under constant scrutiny—our movements monitored by cameras, tracked by satellites and catalogued by a host of increasingly attentive government agencies. No longer does the idea of an omnipresent government seem all that farfetched. As technology becomes ever more sophisticated, the idea of a total surveillance society moves further from the realm of George Orwell’s science fiction fantasy into an accepted way of life.

In fact, surveillance has become a huge moneymaking industry in itself, with many sectors having sprung up devoted to developing increasingly sophisticated gadgets to keep targeted individuals under surveillance, with or without their cooperation. The science behind this technology is particularly brilliant.

For example, human motion analysis, a pet project of researchers at the University of Maryland, aims to create an individual “code” for the way people walk, i.e. “finding DNA in human motion.” Dubbed Gait DNA, this surveillance system works by matching a person’s facial image to his gait, height, weight and other elements—all captured through remote observation, thereby allowing the computer to identify someone instantly and track them, even in a crowd.

Several months ago, Igor Boschenko advanced version of that top Russian took a course on partition and dismantling of the Russian Federation.

His assumption is more and more evidence. A few days ago met with former GRU analyst Sergei mink had the same experience.

First of all, the finale is seen objectively. And indeed: the very white-blue-red state was started by its creators-criminals as a mechanism for division and privatization of the Soviet legacy. And nothing more. For the development and execution for even the most elementary functions of the state of Russia simply is not suited. Where is there to talk about some of modernization, innovation, industrialization? Russian masters as something that should keep the Russian half-dead in a stable position of extinction / degradation.

Now, the problem of white-blue-red of the project are fulfilled.The Soviet legacy redistribution twice. Mammoth bones gnawed and eaten. More difficult to share: the same “Gazprom”, which seemed neischeppaemoy trough is already overloaded in debt. 80 billion - not huhry-muhry. “Alrosa” (”Diamonds of Russia”) is also burdened by loans and debts. What remains? Sell ​​state shareholdings and close up shop. I mean, to disband the Russian Federation.

From the The Third Rome #6

Despite years of political and ideological struggle, the future of Russia and the Russian people remains as undecided as at the end of the last century. Who are we? Are we the heirs of a great empire who carry within us the seeds for a national Russian rebirth, or are we residents of occupied territory who have accepted our pathetic role as “white slaves” ready to follow orders from the world’s evil powers?

During 1990-1991 when our All Russian National Union was forming, each of us had hopes. Now we have experience. Then we had many thoughts and ideas. Now we have results. Then we had an outpouring of emotions. Now we have the opportunity to make precise calculations.

Our movement has passed through several stages during the last 20-odd years.

1) 1986-1993. Russians recognized the opportunity to openly fight for a nationalist Russia and they actively joined the struggle. They established the first Russian socio-political organizations and those formal structures generally still exist today. This period ended when President Yeltsin ordered the military assault on the Parliament in 1993. Illusions faded but the will to fight remained.

Under Yeltsin economic and social destruction stimulated action. The opposition had a real chance to seize power, but the nationalist opposition wasn’t organized yet and Communists were indecisive.

2) 1994-2000 was the epoch of “electoral democracy.” Russia’s ruling anti-Russian politicians never allowed real elections, but street agitation and resistance served nationalists well and taught them much. During this period the Russian regime wasn’t cemented yet.

They called us fascists for telling the truth, but they didn’t jail us. We had only modest resources, but even so we won elections in regions from St. Petersburg to Vladimir to Novosibirsk and Irkutsk.

Unnerved by nationalist violence that broke out in downtown Moscow late last year, the city government has launched a well-funded campaign to combat xenophobia in the Russian capital.

The 110 million-ruble (nearly $4 million) effort will include an advertising campaign under the slogan “Don’t support racism,” a series of roundtables, a website, and six documentary films celebrating cultural difference.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin signed the program into law last week. The move appeared to be a sharp break from Sobyanin’s predecessor, Yury Luzhkov, who was widely criticized by rights activists for doing little to fight racist attacks.

Dmitry Orlov, general director at the Agency for Political and Economic Communication, says massive nationalist riots that broke out in Manege Square near the Kremlin in December convinced the authorities that the problem of xenophobia needed to be addressed.

“It seems to me that the authorities are seriously perplexed by the events at the Manege, by the need to increase tolerance and to reduce interethnic tension,” Orlov says. “I think the sincerity of their aims is confirmed in the fairly significant amount of funds being put toward it here.”

In April, the Moscow City Court banned the Movement Against Illegal Migration, a group linked to the violence in Manege Square.

‘On The Rise’

Fears of a new wave of nationalist violence spread last week following the assassination of former army Colonel Yury Budanov in Moscow on June 10. Budanov became a hero to nationalist groups when he was convicted of kidnapping and strangling a Chechen girl in 2003. He was released on parole in 2008.

It has become obvious to Russian people at home and abroad that the present administration of our beloved country is not functioning in the best interests of the Russian people, but is an oligarchy disintegrating because of corruption. Consistent with the laws of God and nature when a body politic ceases to serve the public good it is the responsibility of citizens to work for the establishment of a new civil order. With malice and rancor toward none, it is not our intention to punish past malefactors, but only to set matters aright.

Out of affection for our beloved Russia and for all the people who reside within her boundaries, or consider her their home, we promulgate this declaration of objectives for a new and vibrant society. The new Russia must vouchsafe:

Establishment of parliamentary democracy;

Freedom to establish political parties without restriction;

Guaranteed representation of all parties attaining 3% of the vote;

Guaranteed freedom of political speech & association;

Guaranteed free, premium quality public education through secondary school;

Establishment of free higher education for students in the top 20% of their class;

Guaranteeing the right of the people to bear small arms;

Establishing an independent judiciary with 30 year/ life tenure for judges;

Guaranteeing trial by jury for all crimes punishable by incarceration;

Establishment of a nonpolitical, merit-based civil service bureaucracy;

Guaranteeing fundamental right of privacy and personal security;

Guarantee of private property rights of individuals;

One day, while doing some boring computer programming, as a diversion, I drew a picture in Microsoft Word and sent it to my friend in Belgium. He replied that his co-workers asked whether it is Picasso or Matisse. To check whether it was a mere anomaly or an indication of some deeper truth I produced more pictures. I mixed them with immortal masterpieces of modern art and put online my “True art, or fake?” quiz. The takers are to tell the masterpieces from my doodles.

Apart from automatically recorded scores, occasionally I get feedback. This note arrived from a Cornell University professor: “I recognized that one of them was like a Mondrian, but it seemed to lack the sense of balance which good modern art is supposed to have.” Apparently, Mondrian’s art loses balance when his heavyweight name is detached from it. Even art critics are not sure that they can tell true art from fake: “I got 92%, which is a relief since I write about art.” It is thus not surprising that sometimes the quiz provokes angry reactions. One New York artist responded with the following utterance: “Go [profanity] yourself and your [profanity] academic quizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.” As if in response to this attempt at intimidation, one of my readers wrote: “Dear Mr. Simkin, just continue with this.” And I have.

In three years, I had over 56 thousand test results to analyze. The average score is 66 percent correct. This is not much better than the 50 percent one can get by random guessing. The 16 percent difference could be because many quiz takers had already seen the masterpieces identified as such. One of respondents wrote: “I gave this test to my oldest son who is teaching sculpture at The Finnish Art Academy. Much to my chagrin, he could not only separate the art from the chaff, but also name all the artists.”

For the first time ever, ordinary Russians can now see documents that appear to confirm long-standing rumors that Vladimir Lenin had Jewish heritage.

In a country long plagued by anti-Semitism, such heritage can be a significant taint, especially for the founder of the Soviet Union who is still revered by many elderly Russians.

Among dozens of newly released documents on display at the State History Museum is a letter written by Lenin’s eldest sister, Anna Ulyanova, saying that their maternal grandfather was a Ukrainian Jew who converted to Christianity to escape the Pale of Settlement and gain access to higher education.

“He came from a poor Jewish family and was, according to his baptismal certificate, the son of Moses Blank, a native of (the western Ukrainian city of) Zhitomir,” Ulyanova wrote in a 1932 letter to Josef Stalin, who succeeded Lenin after his death in 1924.

“Vladimir Ilych had always thought of Jews highly,” she wrote. “I am very sorry that the fact of our origin - which I had suspected before - was not known during his lifetime.”

Under czarist rule, most Jews were allowed permanent residence only in a restricted area that became known as the Pale of Settlement which included much of present-day Lithuania, Belarus, Poland, Moldova, Ukraine and parts of western Russia.

Many Jews joined the Bolsheviks to fight rampant anti-Semitism in czarist Russia and some were among the leaders of the Communist Party when it took power after the 1917 Revolution. Most prominent among them was Leon Trotsky, whose real name was Bronstein.

But Lenin, who was born Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov in 1870, identified himself only as Russian. He took Lenin as his nom de guerre in 1901 while in Siberian exile near the Lena River…

According to a retired CIA analyst, new evidence has emerged revealing the full extent to which Israel was involved in the direct planning of America’s aggressive war on Iraq that was initiated by President George W. Bush after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.

During a March 10 interview, former 27-year CIA intelligence analyst Ray McGovern broke some news with AFP concerning former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz. This information on the extent of Wolfowitz’s war making agenda was derived, McGovern said, from “an unimpeachable source.”

McGovern began, “Enough distance has been created between Wolfowitz and our government that I feel free to tell this story. Since Wolfowitz was largely responsible for the Iraqi invasion, his father wrote him a note that said: ‘Paul, I’m an ardent Zionist, but first and foremost, I’m an American. What you have done for the Zionist cause is beyond the pale, and you should be ashamed of yourself.’ ”

The war happened, explained McGovern, because “son Paul put Israel before the interests of the United States.”

McGovern continued, “That’s why I say, particularly in the leadup to the invasion of Iraq, the socalled neo-conservatives—Richard Perle, Wolfowitz, [Douglas] Feith, the whole coterie of folks who were running our policy at that time—they had great difficulty distinguishing between what they considered to be the strategic interests of Israel on the one hand, and the strategic interests of the United States on the other. They tend to see them as identical, and they’re not.”

He next addressed the ramifications of these decisions. “When you look at the hatred that our policies in the Middle East have caused among 1.3 billion Muslims in the world, and when you see that a lot of their behavior is conditioned by our being joined at the hip with Israeli policy, however violent, then you can see what damage this is doing to the interests of the United States.”

By definition, God is the embodiment of goodness. Goodness is honest, open and straightforward. When we seek we will obtain. God wishes us well and we have but to put our trust in Him through His Son, Jesus Christ, in order to set ourselves on the road to salvation. We accept this fundamental verity by faith, as a given.

Alas, there is also a unified force of evil at large in the world. There is ample empirical evidence of the existence of evil. This force of evil is dishonest, obscure and guileful. The force of evil seeks our destruction and the destruction of our society. Because the force of evil has ill intentions for us it must be deceitful and crafty. Evil can only entice us by falsehood and by camouflaged entrapment. Evil does not advertise itself as such. Yet it is critically important that we recognize evil so as to effect its avoidance.

It is written, “By their works shall you know them.” (Matthew 7:20) This is a universal truth. So that we may know evil when we encounter it let us enumerate some of the guises in which evil has attempted to lead us astray in our time.

These are some of the exponents of evil:

Those who mock God.

Those who defame Christianity and sew the seeds of confusion and dissention among believers.

Those who seek to destroy the institution of the family.

Those who refuse to recognize the authority of the 10 Commandments.

Those who say there is no absolute truth and decline to seek righteousness.

Those who advocate moral relativism and tolerance of iniquity.

Those who disrespect the institutions of Christian society.

Those who propagate sodomy and filthiness.

The history of civilization is replete with examples of diverse epochs. There have been bad times and good. The Dark Ages were followed by the Renaissance. Periods of human decline have been followed by times of resurgence. Naming these historical eras promotes a comprehension of history and its cyclical nature. When we name a discrete time period it helps us to understand it and to place it in perspective.

From an objective, historical point of view the most striking social phenomenon at the turn of the 21st Century has been the propagation of the concept that sodomy is an acceptable, alternative lifestyle. This unprecedented assault on the institutions and moral fabric of civilization represents an abomination. There is no point in mincing words. The concerted effort of mass media over several decades to recast homoeroticism as acceptable activity constitutes an affront to civilization. There can be no question that this aberration will presently come to an end. Nature deplores the unnatural. Historic evils have inevitably passed away.

The time has come for us to name the epoch from which we will presently emerge, the movement from whose grip mankind will surely be loosed. I propose that we call the era of exultant sodomy, THE ABOMINATION. This is a strong term. It is called for in order to reflect the distain of offended humanity. Thousands of years of societal morality will, well and truly, be vindicated.

It is essential that we choose the appropriate language to express our outrage. An abomination is something shameful, disgusting and abhorrent. This is precisely the correct terminology with which to describe sodomy. The propagandists of homoeroticism have attempted to subvert language to sanitize their miscreant activity. First the media virtually banished the words sodomy and sodomite from the popular vocabulary. Initially they substituted the clinical sounding word, homosexuality. In recent times homosexual has been replaced by the inapt word, gay. This represents an attempt to associate a happy face with a dirty business. Such a misuse of language is itself an abomination. Will we next call pederasts and pedophiles, “the friendlies?”

All my Russian ancestors were extremists. They believed in one God, the Father, the Almighty. They believed that Jesus Christ is His only Son and our Savior. They believed in the Holy Spirit and in one holy Orthodox Church. They knew that murder, stealing, lying, adultery, sodomy and the other vices were wrong. They prized honesty and courage above all other traits of character. My ancestors believed that Russia is a unique and holy land with a special mission to fulfill among the nations. They believed that the Russian people are particularly beautiful and gifted. They loved this vast and rich expanse and her strong and healthy population. They were willing to give their lives in the service of their faith, their country, their sovereign.

My ancestors’ devout Orthodox faith, their love of Russia and of the Russian people did not entail enmity for adherents of other religions, for other lands or for other nations. On the contrary, their Christianity made them strive to love their neighbors as themselves and to follow the example of the Good Samaritan in lending assistance to strangers.

As I have said, all my Russian ancestors were extremists. They were deeply committed to high ideals. They were not pragmatists, relativists or agnostics. They knew right from wrong and good from evil. They did not entertain theological doubts. They were not stymied and incapacitated by moral indecision.

In 1917 Russia fell into the hands of moderates who were uncertain of the existence of God, who were suspicious of the Christian faith, whose moral values were undefined. Russia came to be ruled by moderate persons who did not believe in her holy commission and in the genius of her people. Alas, moderation in commitment to goodness and moderation in virtue are not desirable attributes of leadership.

Every society has a right to shape its own destiny. This is the essence of sovereignty. A state has the duty to plan for its future. In a democratic society it is the majority which should set the course for generations to come. Planning for the future does not only mean economic forecasting and taking measures for the conservation of the natural environment. The society has an obligation to consciously select social and cultural goals for the future. These decisions should be consciously undertaken after careful consideration. Taking the line of least resistance, leaving authority to oligarchs or self appointed experts or complete inaction are all unsatisfactory policy choices

There is nothing inherently wrong with social engineering. In a democracy the people choose their social and cultural objectives. Complete unanimity on social engineering is impossible, just as complete unanimity on economic or environmental policy is impossible. The inevitability of descent is no reason to put off decision making. It is an enormous disservice to the population to walk away from critical decisions just because one or more groups in society may have different objectives from the majority.

Every society has a right to choose its moral values. Value judgments are inevitable. The absence of value judgments leads to anarchy. The people of the democratic society decide on its system of laws which embody its moral conscience. The law of a democratic society reflects the morality of the people. In a society where the majority of the population are Christian or have been brought up on the basis of the ethical teachings of Jesus Christ, it is natural that the law of the society should reflect Christian values. This is neither narrow minded nor inequitable. In a democracy the majority decides what is right and what is wrong.  Our Christianity tolerates minor procedural differences in morality. However, our respect for a certain pluralism does not mean that we are indifferent to substantive immorality. For example, the pluralistic Christian democracy can easily tolerate people who do not observe Sunday as a day of rest, while it cannot tolerate cannibalism.

Social engineering does not relate exclusively to the choices of morality. Society should also decide on its cultural orientation. Culture includes language, the arts, questions of aesthetics and historical consciousness. Thus the democratic society can and must decide what will be the official language of communication. It can choose its cultural heritage and its historical heroes. This is not undemocratic. It is the essence of popular sovereignty and self determination. The people have a right to shape their cultural environment for today and for the future. The language of the majority should logically be the official language of the state. The heroes of the majority can be memorialized on monuments and on the currency. The populace can determine its historical roots and who are its cherished ancestors. This is a healthy and natural process.

The official, Konstantin Poltoranin, was the main spokesman for the Russian government agency responsible for dealing with foreign migrants and made the controversial comment in an interview about an asylum centre in Siberia.

“What is now at stake is the survival of the white race. We feel this in Russia,” he told the BBC.

“We want to make sure the mixing of blood happens in the right way here, and not the way it has happened in Western Europe where the results have not been good.” Russia needed immigrants “of the Slavic group” more than any others, he added.

Mr Poltoranin was sacked within hours of his comments being made public. He had worked at the agency since 2005. Konstantin Romodanovsky, the head of the Federal Migration Service and his boss, said his former subordinate’s comments were unacceptable branding them as “nonsense.”

Mr Poltoranin said afterwards that he had meant every word he had said and was now looking for a new job. Ethnic tensions are strained in Russia and racist murders of migrant workers from Central Asia and of dark-skinned Russians from the country’s south by far-right groups are a regular occurrence.

The Moscow Prosecutor’s Office has shut down the Movement Against Illegal Immigration, or DPNI according to its Russian acronyms, for carrying out “extremist activities.”

­A final decision will be taken by the Moscow City Court. However, prosecutors suspended the operations of the nationalist inter-regional public organization after reviewing it for compliance with national legislation. The movement’s objectives and actions are aimed “at carrying out extremist activities,” the Moscow Prosecutor’s Office said.

It had already sent a petition to the Moscow City Court, qualifying the movement as “an extremist organization.” The leadership of the movement was informed of the decision on Wednesday.

DPNI activists have warned the decision may “radicalize youth nationwide and lead to mass protests.” Masked young men “controlled by absolutely nobody and nothing” will not be warning the authorities and take to the streets, former DPNI leader Aleksandr Belov told Interfax. The ban on nationalist organizations will lead “to a host of radical cell groups,” he added.

The nationalist organization was banned following a recent flare-up in nationalists’ activities in the wake of the turmoil on Moscow’s Manezh Square late last year. Thousands of football fans clashed with police in the center of Moscow, shouting nationalist slogans after their comrade had been killed in a street fight with a group of men from the North Caucasus.

Prosecutors did not specify DPNI’s violations. Earlier, another nationalist organization, Slavic Union, had been banned for “unknown reasons” as well, DPNI leader Vladimir Yermolaev told Kommersant daily. Last year, the union was suspended by the Moscow City Court, but their leaders renamed the organization to “Slavic Force” and continued their activities.

DPNI was founded in 2002 as a protest against illegal immigration from the former Soviet republics to Russia, but has never been officially registered since then. The movement has organized widely-publicized “Russian marches” on November 4 attracting more than 5,000 participants each year.

Traditionalists are often painted as partisans of lost causes. The ideologues of modernity and “progress” thus consign actual rightist movements to history’s dark remnants, all the while leading humanity’s march into a radiant future of equality and liberty.

We have witnessed their future, and all its supposed radiance is but an artifice. Modern civilization offers a plethora of material goods to mask the denial of the one true Good; it creates virtual worlds of distractions and amusements to convince man to forget how he abandoned the one true God.

Ivan Ilyin, the philosopher and premier theorist of the White Russian movement, saw this earlier than most. The Whites were first into battle in the confrontation with one particularly savage program of the Revolution, Soviet Bolshevism. As an unabashedly faithful Christian, monarchist and patriot, Ilyin understood the full gravity of the threat and how to combat it; above all else, he knew victory could only be achieved through the will to spiritual resistance, in a war beginning in our own hearts.

Ilyin’s notions may have seemed fantastic at the time of his speech below, but where is Soviet power today? The immutable principles of faith, loyalty and honor show themselves ultimately triumphant over the destruction wrought by the materialist ideologies of our age. Contemporary Russia’s survival, like that of any nation, cannot be guaranteed, but she also shows signs of hope and rebirth. We in the West would do well to remember that not all lost causes are lost.

The Sovereign Meaning of the White Army

Speech delivered by Ivan A. Ilyin in Berlin, November 19th, 1923 (The 6th Anniversary of the Russian Volunteer Army). Translated by Mark Hackard from the text “Rodina i My”; italics are from the original.

One of the most genuine and spiritually significant victories accomplished in the history of man is the triumph of the Russian White Army. If we can take everything from this victory that was laid into it, then Russia will soon be reborn in power and glory and evince still unseen greatness. And this greatness will be a living edification and support for the rebirth of other nations. This is the primary meaning of our “White” existence and suffering.

The January 24^th terrorist bombing at Domodedovo Airport in Moscow serves as a reminder of why Russia throughout its history has dwelt in a state of mobilization. The vast spaces of the Eurasian heartland have concealed a wide array of adversaries, from Poland’s Winged Hussars and the Grande Armée to Turkic nomads and rebellious Caucasian mountaineers. War is a reality that manifests itself here with depressing regularity, and it has been firmly impressed in the Russian historical memory. From fields of battle to the dark recesses of the soul, Russia more than other cultures is defined by struggle.

And so the carnage persists into our brave new twenty-first century; this time a suicide bomber killed 35 innocents during the hours of Monday-morning travel. The attack was most likely carried out by a cell of the Caucasus Emirate, a jihadist umbrella organization. It was calculated to further destabilize the republics of the North Caucasus and possibly drive inter-ethnic tensions in Russia’s major cities to a breaking point. Retribution, as Prime Minister Vladimir Putin remarked, will be inevitable. But in calibrating a response, the Kremlin is placed in an extraordinarily difficult position, as it must attend to a situation that could quickly spin out of control.

The North Caucasus is a region of high strategic value for Russia- oil transits there from the Caspian to the Black Sea, and holding it allows Moscow to anchor its southern flank. Georgia and Azerbaijan can be kept in line, and Russian power projected into the Middle East. Yet for all these advantages, the provinces of Dagestan, Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachai-Circassia, not to mention Chechnya and Ingushetia, are not simply poor and undeveloped; they are systemically unstable.Two centuries of intermittent warfare have resulted from the mountaineers’ refusal to submit to Russian dominion, and the nature of the contest has changed little. Clan societies with the enduring custom of blood-feud and criminality as the national pastime can hardly be expected to integrate into whatever model of civil order technocrats in Moscow might have planned. Mountain tribes the world over are known both for their defiance and noble savagery, and those of the Caucasus maintain legendary status in this regard thanks to Mikhail Lermontov and Lev Tolstoy.

More like Media deception…

The total non institutional civilian labor force (Americans 16 years and older who are not in a institution -criminal, mental, or other types of facilities- or an active military duty) is reported as 238.889 million. Of these, we see:

• Employed: 139.206 million people (58.3% of labor force)
• Unemployed: 14.485 million people (6.1% of labor force)

Obviously, that can’t be the total picture, we’re only at 64.4%. This is why:

• Part time employed for economic reasons: 8.931 million people. This concerns people who want a full-time job but can’t get one.
• Part time employed for non-economic reasons: 18.184 million people. Non-economic reasons include school or training, retirement or Social Security limits on earnings, but also childcare problems and family or personal obligations.

But the by far largest category “missing” from both the Employed and Unemployed statistics is the “Not In Labor Force”: 85.2 Million people.

The BLS definition states: “Not in the labor force (NILF). A person who did not work last week, was not temporarily absent from a job, did not actively look for work in the previous 4 weeks, or looked but was unavailable for work during the reference week; in other words, a person who was neither employed nor unemployed.” (Clearly, this does include lot of unemployed people).

To summarize: 108.616 million people in America are either unemployed, underemployed or “Not in the labor force”. This represents 45.5% of working age Americans.

If you count the “Part time employed for non-economic reasons”, you get 126.8 million Americans who are unemployed, underemployed, working part time or “Not in the labor force”. That represents 53% of working age Americans.

So only 47% of working age Americans have full time jobs. While the official unemployment rate is 9.4%. Something’s missing somewhere.

European researchers have proven that the instigators of the grand multicultural enterprise are fighting against Nature. The New York Times reported on a Dutch study that scientifically determined ethnocentrism, the preference for one’s own “in-group,” is natural, chemical, and biological.

The hormone oxytocin has been called “the cuddle hormone,” because the hypothalamus releases it during sexual intercourse, breastfeeding, and childbirth, among other times. This neuropeptide is known to create a sense of bonding with children, romance between adults, and trust within society. But new research has found oxytocin assures mankind extends sympathy along clearly delimited ethnic lines.

The New York Times describes “The Dark Side of Oxytocin, the Hormone of Love”:

The love and trust it promotes are not toward the world in general, just toward a person’s in- group. Oxytocin turns out to be the hormone of the clan, not of universal brotherhood. Psychologists trying to specify its role have now concluded it is the agent of ethnocentrism.

The finding is the result of extensive testing conducted by a team of Dutch psychologists led by Dr. Carsten K. W. De Dreu of the University of Amsterdam. Their paper, “Oxytocin Promotes Human Ethnocentrism,”was published online just days ago. “Ethnocentrism is a very basic part of humans, and it’s not something we can change by education,” De Dreu concluded.

Russian politician Igor Artemov was on an extended visit to a friend in Hopewell Township when he got a series of chilling phone calls from friends back home.

On June 22, the Russian FSB - successor to the KGB - raided offices and homes of members of his party, the Russian All-National Union, Artemov said. His own apartment in Zheleznodorozhny, east of Moscow, was raided by 15 men in SWAT body armor who spent all day in the building, seizing computers, notebooks, books, videos, religious literature, T-shirts and other material, he said.

Some 23 raids took place across Russia, and several members of the party were taken into custody for interrogation, he said.

Artemov, who is on a visit to John Bleimaier, a Princeton Borough immigration attorney who lives in Hopewell Township, said the raids represent an escalation of efforts by United Russia, the country’s ruling party, to suppress other parties that offer an alternative to its hegemony.

“The main reason of this situation is that we’re in a position in the Putin-Medvedev system,” said Artemov, referring to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev. “They try to eliminate all other parties that are not supporting their line.”

His account could not be independently verified. The events were reported on his party’s website but have not appeared in the English-language media. The press office of the Russian Embassy in Washington did not return a call seeking comment last week.

But Artemov and his party members have been harassed by government forces in the past, according to BBC transcripts of Russian media reports.

I. Putin is an enemy of Russian nation

1. During 8 years of Putin`s reign, number of ethnic Russians in Russia shrinked by 8 millions. Annual demographic losses are the same as in 1990`s, when Yeltsin was in power and when Russia didn`t have huge profits from oil and gas export. Number of officially registered abortions is stable, about 2 millions per year. Quality of medical care significantly dropped, free state medicine is almost destroyed and substituted by commercial medicine. Vast majority of Russian citizens can`t afford it.

2. During Putin`s reign, dozens of people with capitals above $ 1 bln legalized their money. In Yeltsin`s time, there were only 7 people with such capitals. Now their numbers increased tenfold. At the same time, life of at least 2/3 of Russians is still at levels of just physical survival.

3. By changing immigration laws, Putin opened borders for millions of non-white immigrants. Many non-native societies were formed in Russian cities. They are terrorizing local indigenous population with help from Putin`s protégés, who hold all of the key positions in administrations and law-enforcing structures. All protests are stamped by illegal arrests and non-lawful court decisions.

4. Putin de-facto acknowledged an independence of Chechnya and the fact, that 500 thousands of ethnic Russians were cleansed from this region, and also gave amnesty for all bandits and terrorists, who fought against Russia. Some of the terrorists even received the “Hero of Russia” award, the highest award in Russia. Russian refugees from Chechnya didn`t receive any help, although ethnic Checnen “victims of the war” received and continue to receive tens of thousands of dollars per person.

By Metropolitan Philaret Voznesenskу

On the feast day of the Theophany, the Baptism of the Lord, every Orthodox Christian would do well to remember another baptism, the one performed over each one of us Orthodox Christians, the baptism in which each of us, through the mouths of our Godparents, gave God an oath that we would always renounce Satan and his works and would always join with, “unite with” Christ.

I repeat, this is especially fitting for this day. Now we will begin the ceremonious rite of the great blessing of the water. Its center, one might say its main part, is the grand prayer in which the Lord is glorified and the grace of the Holy Spirit is invoked upon the water which is being blessed. This prayer begins with the wonderful words: “Great art Thou, O Lord, and wonderful are Thy works, and no word doeth justice to the praise of Thy wonders.” Those who have attended the rite of baptism and listened carefully know that this prayer for the blessing of the water in which a person is to be baptized begins with the same words, and the first part of this prayer is performed in the same way as during the great blessing of the water. Only later, in the last part, does the prayer change at the completion of the Mystery of baptism, which is composed for this Mystery, as a new human soul is to be baptized.

It would be worth remembering the promises made during baptism on behalf of each one of us. When a person is baptized as an adult, which happens these days sometimes but happened much more often in ancient days, he makes these oaths himself, but if he is baptized as a child, his Godfather or Godmother make these promises—they are the “adopters,” as the Church calls them. And these promises, in which the Christian makes a promise to God to renounce Satan and all his works, and joins with, unites with Christ, are not only forgotten by people, but many do not even know about them or that they were spoken, and that they must think about how these promises are to be fulfilled.

The program principles of RONS

Our Motherland - Russia - suffers the most painful period of its history. The national economy is considerably wrecked. The debts for the foreign credits are hanging on it like heavy weights. The free circulation of foreign currency and “liberalization” of foreign trade have led to such a plunder of Russia, which the conquerors of the past couldn’t even imagine. Paying concerns are being deliberately bankrupted and sold for a song. The revenues of the state budget are being formed mainly by selling oil, gas and other minerals, which converts Russia into a raw materials adjunct of economically developed countries. Against the background of the constantly increasing energy materials export, the people freeze to death, the industrial works stand still. The equipment, which has not been renewed for many years, becomes disabled; people die in production induced disasters.

The inflation and rent rise exceed many times those scanty wage and pension increases, which the federal authorities like to announce so loudly. The people, who created and are still creating the wealth of the country, live in poverty, while the people, who destroyed and are still destroying our country, live in luxury.

The spiritual crisis is becoming deeper. After losing the Christian faith, the people cannot tell Good from Evil. Vulgarities, violence and depraved life are propagandized on television and in editions. The pursuit of the personal material well-being and satisfaction of carnal desires are being declared as the main meaning of life. The effect of that is the destruction of morality. Spiritual bankruptcy entails drug addiction, hard drinking, depravity. The seduction of children starts at school. The program “Sexual education of the pupils. Basic sexology” is being pushed forward in a number of schools. The “safe sex” is being boosted; the children are being acquainted with different kinds of sexual perversions. The accomplices of “sexual enlighteners” develop plans for transition from the Cyrillic to the Latin alphabet.

The depraved don’t need a family. Families ruin, the birth rate drops, the homelessness grows. Fewer and fewer healthy children are being born, more and more men, who just turned 40, are being buried on the cemeteries. The population of our country declines by almost million man a year. We are dying out. Under which stone should be found the skulls of Russians, Tatars and other Russia’s people in the XXII century? Hypocritically supporting in words the traditional religions, the country leaders have enabled the widest spreading of all possible sects, maiming soul and body. The television shows programs with blasphemous content, intended both for adults and for children. A state without independence doesn’t need large army - and according to the Russia’s president’s edict the army is being cut down. The newest weapons and equipment come in the first place not to the Russian army, but to the armies of our potential enemies.

We have combined our efforts to fight for Russia’s and Russian people’s future. The State power in Russia should have Russian spirit and Russian origin.

We do not want our nation to be governed by globalization-oriented operators and Asiatic bandits. We are warning everyone, who aims at living at the expense of Russians: remember the inevitable punishment.

We strive for healthy children being born in stable Russian families, and for old men being held in respect and care by the state.

We want our women not to fear walking on the streets of their home towns and cities, and our men to rely on the help of comrades in any danger. Our motto is “Russian, help a Russian”. Only being again a united and solid nation, we’ll be able to restore the greatness of Russia.

We believe in an unavoidable reunion of Russia, the Ukraine, Belarus and other age-old Russian territories into one mighty state. Only a great power like this can rescue the world from the triumph of the “yellow devil” and the “golden calf”.

We do believe, like our ancestors did. We aspire to the rebirth of Russian national traditions, the principles of the orthodox outlook and way of life.

We don’t want the revival of hypocritical Bolshevist times and do not accept the today’s criminal lawlessness. We are disappointed by treachery or weakness of different political parties.

We aim at building up our life at the foundations of not of a party, but of a community. We strive for living as a solid collective body and setting an example for other Russian people.

We call everyone who values these ideals for help in the sake of revival of holy traditions of Russian mutual aid.

Supplemental information:

Russian All-National Union (RONS) - is the modern national Orthodox political movement which has been founded in 1990. The mane aim of RONS is defence and development of Russian national traditions in various spheres of modern political, cultural, economic, and social life.
