Russia war

[Barbara]

Cyprian, You are really funny !
I hate to say, though, that i have NO CLUE who that Napolitano person is. Just like most big names [?] I could not say whether it's a music performer, movie 'star', political figure or other !!!

Well OK if you know about Larry Johnson as being unreliable, please can you tell me more ?

I complained about former CiA officer John Kiriakou [Syria thread]. I wasn't sure whether Larry Johnson is better - but i had been assuming in my mind that he's not quite as slithery as John Kiriakou.

I don't know about Larry Johnson's aloha shirts, either...! They don't add to his credibility in my eyes.

BUT - he is pro-Iran which I like and reasonable about Russia, unlike all the rest.

Cyprian, you have to realize that some True Orthodox DO take the Russian side in this Ukraine dispute. I am not aware what the percentages are, but if anyone knows, please advise the Forum.

I had been meaning to inquire today whether GOC-K's Met Demetrios is pro-Ukraine or not ? Do you have any idea ?? This COULD go on one of the Intra-TOC threads.

Russia News reports the stupid decisions to stop imports of energy supplies from Russia starting next year, apparently as retaliation for Russia's refusal to yield to European wishes on Ukraine [?]::

"Europe is certainly on the path to destroying itself and going back to using firewood. [< !!]

The European Council has approved a complete ban on Russian liquefied natural gas supplies to the EU starting January 1, 2027, and pipeline gas starting September 30, 2027."

"While America dominates media "propaganda," Russia imposes a terrifying industrial reality.

The language of numbers in Russian bombers prevails (payload, range, speed) and capability to operate in the harshest conditions.

And with missiles like the Kh-101 / Kh-102 with a range of 3500 km, it becomes clear that technological superiority is not always with those who own the biggest screen."

Larry Johnson appears on Judge Napolitano's Judging Freedom YouTube channel at least once or twice a week. He must have appeared probably close to a couple hundred times now. He also appears on other shows occasionally as well, but I think the bulk of his interviews are on Napolitano's show.

Well OK if you know about Larry Johnson as being unreliable, please can you tell me more ?

All one needs to know, is that he is not a Christian, and it seems that the vast majority of all these other people that folks are following on X are not Christians either, so they are deluded, and not worth paying much attention to. Why should someone who's known Orthodox Christianity for many decades bother hearkening to a bunch of liars and propagandists on social media?

Why should we allow heretics and atheists to shape and mold our worldview? Are we unable to think for ourselves? I do my own research, and I don't listen to or look up to these liars, who pass themselves off as "experts". I do not allow them to beguile me. Larry Johnson is a total liar, who has made at least 7 trips to Russia since 2023, including an interview with that psychopath Lavrov. Yes, the communist Lavrov, who notoriously wore a communist CCCP sweater to the Trump-Putin Alaska summit.

BUT - he is pro-Iran which I like and reasonable about Russia, unlike all the rest.

There is something wrong with you if you like folks who are pro-Iran. Why should a Christian be pro-Iran, an Islamic country??? Are you pro-Islam, Barbara? Are you close to heresy?

Cyprian, you have to realize that some True Orthodox DO take the Russian side in this Ukraine dispute. I am not aware what the percentages are, but if anyone knows, please advise the Forum.

I don't doubt that. Ignorance and delusion are rampant in these evil times we live in. If by "the Russian side" you mean they support Putin and the RF, then they are not enlightened True Orthodox, but they are ignorant and confused.

Now, it's one thing to support and sympathize with the common folk of both Russia and Ukraine, but it is an entirely different thing to sympathize with the psychopathic leaders of Ukraine and Russia, Zelensky and Putin!

The only truly Orthodox Christian stance to take, is to recognize the obvious reality that Zelensky and Putin are both evil anti-Christian leaders, and to side with the populations who are suffering under their satanic regimes!

I had been meaning to inquire today whether GOC-K's Met Demetrios is pro-Ukraine or not ? Do you have any idea ?? This COULD go on one of the Intra-TOC threads.

This is the best analysis I've found on the topic from a priest in the GOC-K, that I can recommend for folks to read or listen to:

Orthodox Survival Course, Class 70: Wars and Rumors of Wars, Part B – A Paschal Reflection on the War Everybody is Talking About
Posted on May 11, 2022 by Father Steven Allen
https://orthodoxtruth.org/uncategorized ... ing-about/

You can either read a transcript, or follow the link at the top of the article to listen to the recording.

Fr. Steven's analysis above should not necessarily be considered any sort of official stance however, because remember, the synod did not hold the same opinion as Fr. Steven on the Corona delusion, and even sought to silence or suppress his views.

In any case, I can't be bothered to keep track of what every single person in every (nominally) TOC synod says about the war.

I can only say that, just like with the Corona delusion, I made my views on the war explicitly clear from the very outset in Feb 2022 in many FB postings, (and I warned people a war was coming several months prior to the invasion), and I have not changed my stance on the war in any meaningful or noticeable way over the last four years.

Sadly, the mistake that many fall into, is buying into the propaganda that the media foists on the public, trying to force people to "take sides". The corrupt and criminal Masonic media is always trying to get people to "take sides". They don't really care if you side with the Democrats or the Republicans, because both parties are thoroughly demonized, and totally under their control. They get what they want, no matter which party is in power.

I pointed this out on my FB a while back, when I was trying to convince folks of the futility of participating in American politics.

Bush 41 (R), Clinton (D), Bush 43 (R), Obama (D), Trump (R), Biden (D), Trump (R). You see? The secret society which controls elections and installs their agents in the White House, just alternates, D, R, D, R, D, R, and the country get worse off every 4 years. Nothing ever gets better no matter which party is in office.

Similarly, the Judaeo-Masonic cabal doesn't care if folks side with Russia or Ukraine, since the leaders of both countries are completely under their control. They just want folks to take a side, either side, to contribute to ratcheting up the enmity, so that the slaughter continues unabated, and the money-making machine continues to profit from the war. Of course, they will also profit from the rebuilding, just as they profit from the destruction.

I choose not to fall for their ploy. From the very outset of the war, I declared unapologetically that Putin and Zelensky are confederate, working hand and in hand together to prosecute this war on behalf of the diabolical interests of Jewish-Freemasonry, and the only correct position to soundly condemn them both.

I sympathize with the plight of the beleaguered Ukrainian people, who have been duped and led to their slaughter by that psychopathic traitor Zelensky. However, just because Zelensky is evil and a war criminal, it does not necessarily follow that Putin is necessarily righteous and not a traitor and a war criminal himself!

Alas, it's hard to find sophisticated thinkers to discourse with, who are able to recognize that all the parties to this war are to blame. It's Zelensky's fault, Putin's fault, Biden's fault, Trump's fault, Scholz's fault, Macron's fault, Boris Johnson's fault, Xi Jinping's fault, Kim Jong Un's fault, etc.

Most everyone is under the spell and hypnosis of the criminal and corrupt media, which tells us, if Putin is bad, Zelensky must be good, or if Zelensky is bad, Putin must be good.

There is a saying, you know. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I rebuked Vladimir Moss and Hans Zimmerman, for being unbalanced, and incessantly criticizing Putin and his allies repeatedly, while saying nothing against the corrupt western leaders, who are just as culpable. Conversely, I have no qualms about rebuking those who incessantly criticize Zelensky, and try to justify or pass over Putin's war crimes.

The only TOC synod that would appeal to me, is one that recognizes that all major world leaders are corrupt agents, on the side of Antichrist, that there are no sincere, God-fearing, Christian world leaders of note, anywhere in the world, to be found. I have challenged people on multiple occasions over the years, to produce a name of even one, and I have yet to hear of even one.

A few folks tried to suggest Viktor Orbán, but he is a complete fraud, a fake Christian, just like Putin is a complete fake. Putin has been groomed his entire life to be president of the RF, just like Trump has also been groomed from his youth by the same Judaeo-Masonic cabal.
