Even Dragons Have Their Ending

Even Dragons Have Their Ending

The Addresses of His Majesty King Alfred II, His Excellency President J. D. Vance and His Majesty Tsar Nicholas III at the Commemoration of the 150th Anniversary of the Birth of John Tolkien and the Unveiling of His Statue in Oxford, England, 3 January 2042

 

His Majesty King Alfred II

Your Majesty Tsar Nicholas, Your Excellency President Vance, ladies and gentlemen.

The day before yesterday I was crowned the first English King of England for a thousand years. By the grace of God, the English monarchy has returned for the first time since the half-Norman came here in 1042 and through weakness betrayed this land and all these islands into a millennial catastrophe. After French, Welsh, Scottish, Dutch and German Kings, I was crowned King Alfred II. This crowning came after a particularly disgraceful, ignoble and scandalous period in the history of England and all these islands. This was the period of the end of the delusions of empire.

The British Empire essentially ended in 1956 through the betrayal of the United States. And yet after this, one British Prime Minister after another tried to foster British imperial delusions by supporting the same American Empire, however immoral and illegal its acts. That shameful age is over. When that Empire came to its end as a result of its defeat in the then Ukraine, the British elite, known by its Norman name of ‘The Establishment’, ended with it. Since then a new government has formed, come up from the people of this new but very old land, who had been oppressed for a thousand years. Last year Ireland was at last reunited and Scotland and Cymru reclaimed their lost independence.

England has at last been freed from the British elite after a thousand years of captivity. England has become an independent country once more. Our royal capital has left Norman London and returned to Winchester, our political capital has left Norman London and moved to the New Witan, set up in Atherstone. This is a small town on the borders of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, in the very geographical centre of England. Its very name reminds us of Athelney, where King Alfred prepared the triumphant English resistance.

British history with all its injustices against the English, then against the Celtic peoples and then against many other people of the world, in Asia and Africa especially, is over. But it also committed injustices against both the American people under the German kings in the eighteenth century. And against the Russian people from the nineteenth century on under a Germanic queen and kings, overthrowing Tsar Nicholas II through Establishment plotting. That age is over. We ask forgiveness of all these peoples for the iniquities visited on them by the greed and evil of the Norman British Establishment.

Two days ago the history of England began again after its millennial interruption. The new and old royal capital of Winchester is in Hampshire, which like Tolkien’s Worcestershire and neighbouring Warwickshire and Leicestershire, are all shires. The real England is the England of the shires, of the Shire, which was John Tolkien’s inspiration. It is our renewed focus on this real England which is now our hope for the reconstruction of our land.

John Tolkien is one of our inspirations in our battle against the dark, satanic mills of which our poet William Blake wrote. Here I do not mean the dark, satanic mills of industry which still disfigured this land and created the ‘Black Country’, as it was then called, in the childhood of John Tolkien and which he portrayed in the evil of The Lord of the Rings. They are gone. What I mean is the dark, satanic mills of the mind. In this New England, which has finally broken through the rusted old shackles of the British Establishment, we are looking to the inspiration of such as Blake and Tolkien.

We are a Nation now seeking restoration, just as King Alfred I, Alfred the Great, Alfred the Truthteller and Alfred the Wise, England’s Lawgiver, England’s Shepherd and England’s Darling, restored England after the Viking invasion. Like him, we too have suffered a Viking invasion, that of the Northmen in 1066, which then turned into a millennial Viking Occupation. We are now freeing ourselves from this, not only politically and so socially, but, even more importantly in my view, spiritually and so morally.

This means arranging new and friendly relations with the rest of the world, with whom the old British Establishment always cultivated conflictual relations. This means firstly with the Celtic peoples of these islands, and then with the peoples of the new Confederation of Western Europe, of which we are one of the now twenty-four Sovereign Nation members, with the Confederations of North-Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, which are today so closely and amicably tied to the Russian Tsardom, their obsessions with the Soviet past healing. And it also means new and friendly relations with the wider world of the New Fellowship of the Ring, the Alliance of Sovereign Nations, which grew very swiftly out of the Russian-founded BRICS and so quite replaced the old and quite discredited post-War UN.

This is why we are honoured to welcome here today the heads of state of the two largest nations of the world, of the Tsardom of Russia and of the Confederation of Northern America. In three years’ time we in England are looking forward to the military band of our English Army marching in the Great Centenary Victory Parade on Red Square in Moscow to the music of our national flag, The Standard of St George, composed by the genius of Alford. This will be the commemoration of the Victory of the Peoples over Fascism, which victory was won mainly by the East Slav peoples at such huge sacrifice. We honour the victory of your peoples, Tsar Nicholas.

We hope that John Tolkien, who felt so deeply English and so loved the Old England and also its Old English language, those of our national champion and saint, King Alfred the Great, will inspire all of us. John Tolkien once wrote: I should like to save the Shire, if I could – though there have been times when I thought the inhabitants too stupid and dull and for words, and have felt that an earthquake or an invasion of dragons might be good for them. And that is exactly what happened. We want to continue to strive against the dragon darkness of Mordor of our recent past and towards the beacon brightness of the Fellowship of the Ring of the Nations of our future. Today we recall the courage of John Tolkien, who one wrote: Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. Our New England is not faithless.

As another John, our national poet, John Masefield, put it 100 years ago: We are called to re-establish the England ‘of the uplifted heart, that has so often borne beauty, of the idea of holiness, of the brightness that endures, of the truth that blesses, of the peace that burns away all self…The moving of the world with the glory of the English spirit is now the one thing left to us. That is also the vision of our John Tolkien and it is also our vision.

Thank you all for your attention.

 

His Excellency President Vance

Your Majesties King Alfred and Tsar Nicholas, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you for inviting me here on this historic day in this historic city in this historic land. It is a privilege and an honour.

Over the last seventeen years we have witnessed extraordinary transformations in the arrangement of our world. The old post-Second World War organisations like the UN, EU, NATO, G7 and G20, which today’s children have never even heard of, are gone. Having long ago outlived their purpose, they have been replaced with the Alliance of Sovereign Nations (ASN), which has its roots in the Russian-founded BRICS and ultimately in the international peace proposals of His Majesty Tsar Nicholas II at the end of the century before last.

Today, we see the Big Four, consisting of the Tsardom of Russia, the Empire of China, the Republic of Bharat, formerly known as India, and my own Confederation of Northern America, working together. The expanded group, the ‘Big Ten’, represents the whole world, consisting as it does of Russia, Northern America, China, the Confederation of Western Europe (now twenty-four nations in number), Bharat, the Confederation of South-East Asia, which includes Australia and New Zealand, Latin America, Japan, the Confederation of West Asia and the Organisation of African Unity.

The beginning of these changes came in 2025, when my predecessor, President Donald Trump, sat down to talks with President Vladimir Putin of the then Russian Federation to end the tragic conflict in the old Soviet Ukraine. Those talks ended within twenty-four hours, with the granting of self-determination to all the peoples of the then Ukraine, the south and the east voting to join Russia, others returning to Romania and Hungary, and the formation of a truly independent Kievan Rus in the north and west. Then came at once the dissolution of the warmongering and Nazi NATO, which had caused the conflict. Then President Trump headed to Beijing and the potential conflict over Taiwan was also swiftly resolved, when Taiwan returned to China as an autonomous island-province of the then People’s Republic of China.

The issues in these two areas of contention were easily overcome, compared to the conflict in the Middle East. It took President Trump his full term of four years and involved a third assassination attempt on his life in order to reach a deal. But with the unanimous co-operation of the Big Four to make peace arrangements there, with the formation of a small and peaceful Jewish State, centred on Tel Aviv in the north of the old Israel, a Palestinian State in the south and west of the old Israel, now rebuilt by Chinese Empire, and the status of Jerusalem as a neutral Capital under the control of the Big Four. This was itself an organisation formed in 2025 to put an end to the conflict and stagnation of the old Security Council of the UN, which you may recall.

Donald Trump, who had the same first name as my father and whose name is also my own second name, was born in 1946. Born after the Second World War, which was won mainly by Moscow, he put an end to the long outdated post-Second War settlement. This had become archaic, with its EU, NATO, IMF and alphabet soup of exclusive and aggressive political, military and monetary organisations, which did not represent anyone except the Globalist elite. Donald Trump saw the need for the peoples of the world to decide their own fates and leave the anachronistic post-1945 elitism behind us, as it in no way represented anyone outside that elite.

For these deeds, the then Globalist elite branded Donald a ‘populist’! What greater compliment could there have been! What they considered to be an insult was the guarantee of his success and the success of the people whom he represented. I am one of them. My Scots-Irish family roots go back to the Appalachians, one of the poorest places in Northern America. I got out of it and in this I was greatly aided by Usha, the First Lady, my dear wife, who is here too. It was her Indian wisdom that has always guided me and I wish to thank her publicly today.

It was only after the presidency of Donald Trump, in the early 2030s, that the world scene was really transformed, with the founding of the Confederation of Northern America, the CNA, following the dissolution of the old USA, Canada, Greenland, with just under 400 million people, some 4.5% of the world population. Thus, we saw the unity of our American sphere of influence, just as we saw the unity of the Russian sphere of influence around Russia. Soon after the unity of Northern America came the collapse of the EU, replaced by the Confederation of Western Europe (CWE) and the Confederations of North-Eastern and South-Eastern Europe.

Then came the founding of the Confederation of South-East Asia, which includes Australia and New Zealand, and also of the Confederation of West Asia. Both the CNA and the CWE then set about paying off their massive debts, which had almost bankrupted both of them. It was in this way that the world witnessed the birth of the Security Council of the Alliance of the Nations, popularly known as the ‘Big Ten’, at last a Council representative of our planet.

I speak of all this today because the transformations that we have witnessed over the last seventeen years were envisioned and longed for by the great man whose 150th birth we commemorate today. John Tolkien, born exactly 150 years ago, on January 3, 1892 in what is now South Africa, was a man who had experienced the horrors of the First World War. I have long admired him and especially his work The Lord of the Rings. That was the work which inspired my path towards Catholicism when I was a young man.

John Tolkien’s portrayal of the goodness and innocence of the people of the Shire of Tradition, of my Appalachians, in their struggle for their Sovereignty against the utter evil of Globalist Mordor was key in this. It is my belief that, whatever his personal weaknesses and mistakes in the past, my predecessor President Trump was he who made Gollum fall into the Fire, taking the Ring with him, and when the Ring was destroyed, Sauron lost all his power. For me that is the triumph of our President, whose forebears came from the Hebrides and the Bavarian lands, for he destroyed the Ring of evil which so threatened world peace until 2025 and cast it into the Fire. As John Tolkien wrote and those words are now inscribed on the plinth of his statue outside this very Theatre: Even dragons have their ending.

Donald’s mother, the Gaelic-speaking Mary Anne MacLeod from her very poor home on Lewis, by the white-sanded shores of the remote Outer Hebrides, where they praise Mary and Brigid and Columba, was so proud of her son. She named him Donald after her grandfather. Had she lived to see his work as President from 2025 on, she would have been even prouder of him. Today I say to you together with the Gospel: Blessed are the peacemakers.

Thank you.

 

His Majesty Tsar Nicholas III

Your Majesty King Alfred, Your Excellency President Vance, ladies and gentlemen.

First of all, I would like to thank the Reform Government of the newly independent English Nation and the governing authorities of the University of Oxford for inviting myself and Tsarina Alexandra here today, and also the staff of the Randolph Hotel for their wonderful hospitality. There was a time, and not so long ago, when Russian leaders were not at all welcome here. Glory to God, that dark age is over.

Since the coronation of His Majesty King Alfred in Winchester Cathedral on 1 January, we have been revisiting places in England visited by my most noble, martyred predecessor, Tsar Nicholas II. He was a great anglophile and once dreamed of living in Norfolk as a gentleman farmer. Yesterday I was in Sandringham and Kings Lynn, where we prayed at the consecration of the new church dedicated to Tsar Nicholas and his August Family on land generously donated to us by the Council of Kings Lynn. White and fair, it is called on to become an inspiration to the people who live there in that old Hanseatic town. This evening King Alfred has invited us to a banquet at Buckingham Palace. Tomorrow, we go to the Royal Palace in Winchester in this renewed Kingdom of England, and then on 5th January to Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, before we return to Saint Petersburg and our Orthodox Christmas Feast there.

Like President Vance, I too have long been an admirer of the work of John Tolkien, who, as a Christian, was profoundly aware of the great gulf fixed between good and evil. That was the origin of his deep moral sense, which he displayed so fully in all his works and in all his life. At the end of that life he also made a donation to our Russian Orthodox church in Oxford.

John Tolkien began writing in 1917, that fateful year, which was so disastrous in the history of my own country, after the overthrow and then martyrdom of my ancestor Tsar Nicholas II and His August Family. That overthrow was prepared here, only a few hundred yards from where we speak in the Sheldonian Theatre, plotted at University College, which, ironically, by legend, though only by legend, was founded by the sainted King, the Great King Alfred I. That overthrow, or ‘regime-change’ as they used to call it, was plotted by a depraved British Prime Minister, British spies and a renegade Russian prince, a traitor and a transvestite of base morality, typical of the worst fabulously wealthy Russian aristocrats of that age. Today history has turned full circle and exorcised that terrible past.

After 1917 my country was thrown into the Fire of Mordor, so vividly portrayed by John Tolkien, who had passed though that same Fire on the killing fields of the Somme, when the European elite bowed down in worship to its cannibal gods. The massacres which that elite had been performing in its far distant colonies, not least in the Belgian Congo, were revisited on its lands as retribution.

John Tolkien understood that death is the enemy of life, that the kingdom of death is called hell and that it is the devil who keeps the laws in hell. And he portrayed that hell in his books. After 1917, my own forebears suffered directly in torture and death, repression and camps, and then the catastrophes of exactly fifty years ago, after the collapse of the atheist regime, and not least my dear mother, who, as you know, was a Romanov. In those days I was much comforted by the words of John Tolkien:

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Thus, I can say that my whole country also went through a Somme, but a Somme which lasted with varying degrees of intensity for 110 years, until 2027. On a theological level, we too were faced with the monumental struggle between the Shire and Mordor, between Life and Death, between what in Russian we call Православие and Кривославие, between Orthodox Christianity and Twisted Christianity, of the Orthodox Church and a pseudo-Church, a Church of a Political Ideology and Corrupt Business. That has been cleansed, not least through the zeal of His Holiness, our Patriarch John of New Jerusalem and All Russia, who has swept away all that filth, which is such a shameful stain in the annals of our Church.

As regards our judgement of the past, we ask all our ancestors what they lived and died for? Did they live and die for Faith, the Tsar and the Fatherland, or not? By Faith we mean Faith in the Redeeming Power of Love; by the Tsar, we mean just Christian government; by the Fatherland we mean all those parts of the world which identify as Russian. Gone is the time of the dead hand of State Religion; of corrupt and merciless Government; and of the Imperialism which oppresses other nations and exploits their resources.

Our task for the last fifteen years, since 2027, has been to rebuild and heal our Russian Shire. Seventeen years ago, the world stood on the brink of World War III. Only that visit to the doors of death softened the hearts of pride. By the prayers of the saints the world drew back from the brink, and with the help of several leaders, real statesmen who stood head and shoulders above the pygmy politicians of that time, we avoided planetary tragedy. Statesmen had learned the lessons of the disastrous World Wars, which had brought to ruination twentieth and early twenty-first century Europe. They steered Europe to Renewal and Resurrection.

The statesmen had not been prejudiced by the propaganda which justifies acts of evil. They had understood the futility of empires, which rise in blind enthusiasm, but always fall in decadence. In particular, they learned this lesson from the fall of the last empire, the American Empire, which had exhausted and bankrupted itself in futile wars and invasions all around the world and which ended in vulgar materialism and frivolous infantilism, in greed and selfishness.

Today we have seen how the world which faced Sauron and Mordor has drawn back from the Ring, which bound them all in Evil. John Tolkien understood that peace on our Middle Earth can only come through the co-operation of the Nations, a Fellowship of the Ring, now called the Alliance of Sovereign Nations, a rebuilding of the many Shires, the best in every nation and people, in ‘sovereignty and freedom, justice and humanity, mercy and compassion’, as my predecessor put it. So too do our statesmen. And so too did our saints.

I would like to end my address to you this day by quoting from the Akathist service to one of those saints, who was also called John. This is St John the Wonderworker, whose lifespan covered much the same years as those of John Tolkien. Born into the Maximovich family in what is now Kievan Rus in 1896, he was exiled and lived in Belgrade and Shanghai, in Western Europe and Western America. We praise him because he was ‘filled with love for his fellow-men and did all possible for their salvation’, because he was the ‘righteous accuser of impiety and false teaching’, because ‘his love knew no bounds of land or race’, because he ‘destroyed lies and exalted truth’ and ‘kept his faith and courage amid unjust persecution’.

And was this not also what John Tolkien tried to do? On this the 150th anniversary of his birth, we thank God for him and for all those who do good, bringing peace to the Nations and Hope for humankind. It is our task to remake this broken world a little nearer to the heart’s desire, knowing that this world is only a shadow of the glory of the world to come, but that Help and Hope are always near.

Thank you for listening.

A New Year’s Message: Battling Antichrist and His Antichurch

A buffoon will destroy the Ukraine

1992 Prophecy of St Gabriel (Urgebadze)

  1. The Antipoliticians: The Collapse of the Western Political Establishment

The once apparently inexorable march towards the Brave New World of Globalism, that is, towards the One World Dictatorship of Antichrist, has been restrained. The restrainer is President Putin. However, he has been supported and followed by the whole Global Majority, those who represent the seven billion plus of the world against the one billion plus who are formally, and only formally, represented by the Western elite, whom we call Antipoliticians. For they are the forerunners of Antichrist, he who replaces Christ is adored by those who replaces politicians.

The Global Majority would not submit to the Globalists. Even though the world was intimidated by the mainstream media’s covid hysteria, outside the Western world the majority refused to conform. Then the same thing happened in the Western war against Russia, which has been taking place in the Soviet-established borders of the Ukraine. The vast majority rejected the West’s fairy-tale ‘narrative’ of lies, with which the Western elite has deluded only itself. Now that it is apparent that the Globalist elite and its hireling media are losing their war on Russia in the Ukraine, they are collapsing in desperation and panic. Thus:

In the American Empire the Globalist and bankrupt regime of Emperors Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden is dying out in humiliation and dementia. The American Empire first tried and failed to assassinate twice its new rival, Trump. Now it is desperately fighting in its last days to cling on to power and cause maximum worldwide destruction, as in Syria. But it has been voted out of power by the American people.

In the military dictatorship of South Korea, established by the US decades ago, the corrupt President faces impeachment for trying to take over the country in a coup d’etat and trying to give away its stockpiles of US arms to the Kiev regime.

In Japan more and more voices are calling for independence from the occupying and bankrupting US regime.

In Israel the US-financed and supported leader has been placed on a list of wanted war criminals for his genocide in Gaza, followed by his genocides in the West Bank, the Lebanon. He is now illegally invading Syria – again. So where are the Western sanctions against Israel? Double standards again.

In Canada the hated woke Trudeau regime is collapsing. Future President Trump has even joked that the US should take over Canada as its fifty-first state. But his joke was taken seriously by many Canadians who welcomed it as the solution to their national problems.

In the bankrupt UK the authoritarian Starmer regime, chosen by only 20% of the electorate, is collapsing, together with the economy, the military, and Establishment pedophile Anglicanism. According to some, Elon Musk is to give $100 million to the only Opposition, the fast-growing and anti-Ukraine war Reform Party. President Trump, it is said, will clamp trade tariffs on the UK, if Trump’s friend, Farage of the Reform Party, is not made at least the new UK ambassador to Washington. Instead Starmer wants to appoint a very sinister individual, Mandelson, a Non-British homosexual, known in the UK for over a generation as ‘the prince of darkness’. A senior aide of Trump has called Mandelson (Mendelsohn) ‘an absolute moron’. The old EU technique, practised as long ago as the Maastricht Treaty in the 1990s, of cancelling or repeating elections that you risk losing may soon be imitated by the Starmer regime in the UK.

In bankrupt and deindustrialising Germany the hated Scholz regime has collapsed. Early elections will take place in February 2025.

In France the anti-democratic Macron regime, elected last summer by only 20% of the voters, and clinging on to power against the will of the people, has collapsed. It is expected to collapse again.

Thus, the Western European Big Three, the UK, Germany and France, all face a choice between Trumpian candidates and Brussels candidates. (Brexit has never been implemented in the UK – the British Establishment did not want it, and Starmer is the Brussels candidate). All three yesmen (Starmer, Macron, Scholz) are resisting the Trumpian candidates (Farage, AfD, Le Pen) on orders from Brussels. It labels all opposition to it as ‘far right’, regardless of whether they are on the left, on the right, or in the centre.

In fact, the unelected Commissars of totalitarian Brussels, several of them the grandchildren of Nazis, behave as if they were members of an International Fascist Party. Therefore, they refuse to implement any democratic decisions. All three main countries of Western Europe are bankrupt and suffer from collapsing infrastructure, but all three have been giving tens of billions to the equally bankrupt Ukraine. All three are desperately anti-Trump and anti-Russian and look at countries like China and India as racially inferior. Thus, they all despise and oppose three of the world’s four largest economies, China, India and Russia. Do not look for logic here. The only logic is the determination of the Western European elite to commit suicide. It is an Antilogic, for they are Antipoliticians.

In Romania, where the patriotic, Orthodox (he is a priest’s son), and therefore anti-Zelensky and anti-EU, candidate was expected to gain 63% of the vote according to polls, the imminent elections were cancelled by the Biden regime. Only their candidate, on 37%, was supposed to win.

They have not yet been able to cancel elections in Hungary and Slovakia – the only free countries left in the Western half of Europe, even though they tried to assassinate the Slovak Premier six months ago. It is widely expected that Hungary, Slovakia and Non-EU Serbia will join BRICS as soon as possible. Italy, Spain and Portugal may follow them in time, as the EU collapses.

In Georgia, US/EU-financed protests against the anti-US/anti-EU election victory over the defeated French President have failed miserably. The US/EU threat is now to call new elections because the results of the first elections were ‘wrong’.

In Moldova, despite massive election fraud by the EU, the US/EU victor has in practice no majority.

China looks on in astonishment at the Western chaos. One day it will soon just walk back into Chinese Taiwan, unopposed, as the West s so distracted by the chaos it has created.

Meanwhile in Moscow, General Kirillov was assassinated. Why? It was he who exposed the British-planned fake chemical attack in Syria. Next he exposed the Skripal attack, when the British failed to murder Russians with Novichok poison, which almost uniquely in the whole world, is kept eight miles away at the sinister British chemical weapons centre at Porton Down. He then exposed the US bioweapons factories in the Ukraine. His assassin? An MI6-trained Uzbek terrorist paid by the Ukraine.

Throughout the world, it is at last being recognised that so-called democracy in the Western world is a myth and was long ago replaced by authoritarian oligarchy. The West, like its puppet in Kiev, is ruled by the rich. There is no democracy here.

All this leaves the existence of the seriously divided NATO and EU in serious doubt. The deluded and racist Western fantasy that it has the supreme right to control and oppress the rest of the whole world is over.

  1. The Antipastors: The Collapse of the Western Spiritual Establishment

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, despisers of those that are good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

2 Timothy 3, 1-5

The millennial Western institution of the Vatican is now in crisis and is threatened by a formal split. Some say that the present 88-year-old, wheelchair-bound Pope, is the last one. He appears to many pious Roman Catholics to be more concerned with the secular world than with the spiritual world. Many of them are scandalised by him.

After his fall in a pedophile cover-up scandal, the Archbishop of Canterbury, called by some ‘The Archbishop of Woke’, resigned and the survival of the Church of England is in doubt. Thousands of its churches are empty, most of its members are elderly. Those who appointed this Archbishop wanted him because he had been an executive in an oil company before he became an Anglican cleric. They appointed him because they wanted a manager, as they think of the Church as a Business. Next time how about appointing someone who actually believes in God? Managers will not help churches. Only pastors will help churches.

However, the foundation of the Antichurch is not some uniquely Anglican or Roman Catholic problem, it concerns all Christians. There are individual Antipastors, who are not just Roman Catholic and Protestant, but also Orthodox. The Orthodox concerned have been infiltrated into the Church by the CIA and other such agencies, with the predatory and debauched spirit of Capitalism.  Their only interest is creating from the Church a Business. The most prominent among them is Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, notorious for setting up with a large amount of US money ($25 million?) the ‘Orthodox Church in the Ukraine’. This is a fake Ukrainian nationalist organisation, not a Church at all, but a gangster mafia which steals church buildings from the Church by violence.

This elderly Patriarch Bartholomew, almost as old as the Pope of Rome, publicly declares that he wants to apostasise from Orthodoxy and become a departmental manager in the Vatican in 2025. Let him. Real Orthodox will not follow him. All those who consider that the Church is a Business – including some clerics of the Russian Church, anti-Russians, who are contributing to building the Antichurch, “the character of their relations with their nearest circle and their way of life incompatible with their status of monk and cleric”. They are building an institution worthy of the Antichrist, whose path as his forerunners they are preparing.

These forerunners are the Antipastors. They are opposed to the people, just as their brother and sister Antipoliticians are also opposed to the people. They practise the faith of the State, even though the State has long since abandoned them. They operate the dead hand of bureaucracy and protocols of the State. Among them are sexual perverts and crooks. These bureaucrats are the servants of the father of lies, the prince of this world, which is why they consider themselves also to be princes (‘princes of the Church’).

It matters not if the Antipastors use left-wing or right-wing politics to fulfil their aims, it matters only that they use politics. For politics, the anti-spiritual masquerading as the spiritual, is their realm and they are expert in it. They have never heard that we must ‘render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s and unto God what is God’s’.  A Pastor is he who unites the faithful with love, but an Antipastor is he who divides the faithful with hatred.

The task of the Antipastors is to eliminate all pastors, who have given their whole lives to the Church and built and rebuilt churches without payment, gathered together the scattered people, built parishes, and whose devotion is unquestioned. The Antipastors declare that the Church must be converted into a Business. There is no room among them for Faith in Christ, monastic life, sincerity and compassion. The Antipastors are ruthless in trying to destroy anyone who is sincere. The Church must be destroyed as a Christian society. Therefore, the Antipastors betray and slander the pastors, so they can replace them with their own fake pastors, their handpicked yesmen, the careerists and businessmen, who can make money for them. The Antipastors are experts at lying, for they are the faithful servants of their father the devil.

Just like the Pope of Rome – birds of a feather flock together – they try to close all the churches where the spiritual is practised, they either sell them to make money, or else they put in new ‘managers’ for their ‘Church-Business’. They may even open churches, but only those where the Faith has been transformed into a mere rite, outward, money-making ritualism, playing on superstition, without any inner content. This too is in order to raise more money for the Antipastors, who are wolves in shepherd’s clothing. They still do not know that ‘though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal’.

Now they have achieved their aim. Once they have destroyed their part of the Church, they will move on to their next victims, flattering and cajoling to make their next career move.

What will happen to them?

They will all be swept away in the coming Great Cleansing and will face the Judgement of the Coming King. For now is the time of the fulfilment of the prophecies. Let us pray and tremble!

«Antichrist will make Church life possible, he will allow her services, will allow fine churches to be built on condition that they recognise him as the supreme being and worship him. There will be a mass falling away from the Faith, as many bishops will betray the Faith and in self-justification will point to the flourishing situation of the Church. The search for compromise will be the characteristic mood among people. Straightforward confession will vanish».

St John of Shanghai

 

 

 

Clericalisation Comes From Corruption

Photographs of many Orthodox services from around the world more and more show pictures of services at which virtually only clergy are present. This clericalisation was not the case previously. Although it is more obvious among minor groups in the Diaspora, especially among those who have difficulty in recruiting members because of their schismatic rather than unitive ethos, such photographs can be seen in very many places. Since such clericalisation is clearly an effect, not the cause, where has it all come from? Let us first look at Roman Catholic clericalisation.

The Case of Roman Catholicism

In the case of Roman Catholicism, the clear cause of its clericalisation was institutionalised obligatory clerical celibacy, which is another way of saying corruption. Introduced by force and even violence from the second half of the eleventh century on, obligatory clerical celibacy was inherently divisive and created a class or caste of woman-hating men who were different from and, as they imagined, superior to ‘the people’. Clericalisation, that is, the claim that the clergy are ’the Church’, which is a widespread peculiarity of the Western world, had the counter-effect of creating anti-clericalism and anti-episcopalianism. This in turn gave rise to congregationalism and eventually to Protestantism. In reality, the Church is the whole body of the faithful, clergy and people together and not apart.

However, even worse, obligatory clerical celibacy also gave rise among Roman Catholic (and Anglican) clergy to widespread bisexuality, homosexuality and pedophilia. I remember being advised by an old Russian priest in France some 35 years ago that if ever I had to meet a Roman Catholic priest, I should first ask him outright, though discreetly, if he was married or not. In France, at least, nearly all the best Catholic priests are married – about 20% of them. They have to keep it secret, of course, but, frankly, as Roman Catholicism is dying out in France for lack of priests, even if their bishops found out that they were married, they would probably turn a blind eye, as they have long done in Southern Europe, Latin America and Africa.

With Anglican clergy one must also be very careful. As we know, the British Establishment (not just the Anglican Church) has been full of pedophiles ever since William Rufus, and the Anglican Establishment full of them, like the notorious Bishop Ball and all the other criminals who have been protected by Anglican bishops, as did the scandalous former Archbishop of Canterbury. As regards Anglican clergy, even the married ones can be bisexual, especially in the so-called ‘High Church’. The Church has to be very careful about receiving Anglican clerics. Having said that, many are fine, some are admirable, but you have to check very carefully for misogyny etc.

The Orthodox Church

Wherever clericalisation is found in the Orthodox world, the cause is always the same: the lack of monastic and pastoral life, which is also another way of saying corruption. I have always thought that no man should be considered for the Orthodox episcopate until he had spent at least five years living under obedience in a monastery and/or five years living as a parish priest. This would be a ten-year long apprenticeship for the episcopate. Instead of contact with monastic and pastoral reality, what do we inevitably get? We get the same phenomena as in Roman Catholicism:

Firstly, there is homosexualisation (thank God, pedophilia is very rare among the Orthodox episcopate – I only know of two cases). Here are the bishops of many nationalities who like to visit with their ‘subdeacon’, as one senior cleric told me. He could supply a full list of names. Secondly, I have noticed that closet homosexuality also tends to go hand in hand with alcohol abuse. Thirdly, alongside the homosexual bishops are the overdressed, lickspittle careerists, who love bureaucracy and protocols. Petty bureaucracy makes them feel good, as it gives them power, the ability to humiliate others, who are often far senior to them. These careerists love centralisation and encourage it, because that gives them even more power and, above all, even more money.

All know about the Greek metropolitan who had to move from one city to another because of his notorious frequentation of gay bars (this was back in the 1970s). All know about the ultra-conservative and schismatic CIA ROCOR bishop and his sex-obsessed and money-obsessed son, ‘the six million-dollar man’, as he was called in the 1990s. All know about the recent Antiochian Archbishop of America. He is one of many – and far from the worst. The scandal is that he was defrocked, not because of his mistresses or because he was extremely rich (how?), but only because he took his own Church to court about money. All know about that Metropolitan-oligarch, who was so keenly and publicly denounced by Metr Antony of Sourozh already twenty years ago. But they are merely the tip of the iceberg, there are many others, whom we have seen, both fifty years ago and recently. But they are all absolutely alien, indeed absolutely unthinkable to real Orthodox.

We are the generation of the New Martyrs and Confessors, ready to die for the Church of God. Now instead of arkhimandrity, as they say in Russian, we have arkhibandity. In the old Soviet times, the Church was infiltrated by the Party with its atheist ideology. Now it is worse. The Party is still there, but it does not come from outside, the new Party and the new ideology, born in the 1990s, are inside the Church and they are called ‘Business’. Christ called it Mammon (money) and yet those ‘churchmen’ who are involved are told specifically by Christ that they cannot serve two masters. Sadly, the clergy involved are soldiers who owe utter obedience to corruption, for part of the episcopate has been militarised. And yet the Church is not an army, but a voluntary organisation. Here is what happens with clericalisation – militarisation of the clergy.

As one Russian told me, ‘I need no managers between me and God’, thinking of the old Protestant slogan, ‘I need no mediators between me and God’. Sadly, there is now a collective narcissistic mafia, as nobody is allowed to reveal the truth about this pharisee class of ‘effective managers’. We believe with the prophets and fool for Christ that Orthodox Russia may yet become the last bastion of Orthodoxy against Antichrist. However, this is clearly not the case now, for Orthodox Russia does not exist. What exists now is Nationalist Russia. For now the last bastion of Orthodoxy is the hearts of all the faithful, who resist Antichrist, who wants to come here and be enthroned. He will not be in our hearts.

Some who reject the new Party and its ideology make the great mistake of giving up the fight against clericalisation and corruption by joining the enemy and appearing on CIA-financed radio and television to scandalise and criticise, painting the whole Russian Church black. This is quite untrue and it is also either naïve or else foolish. These critics are playing into the hands of the CIA-financed politics of those who persecute the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church and discredit their cause and themselves, for they have chosen an episcopate no less corrupt than the one they left and one no less political than the one they left.

They too, consciously or, as I would like to think, unconsciously, become traitors to Orthodoxy. This is not the way. You cannot defeat politics with politics. We have to be aware of politics, but we do not get involved in political intrigues. Just as we are aware of the demons, but we do not get involved in demonic intrigues. Just wait, those who have compromised themselves morally and financially in military-style clericalisation and corruption, whether inspired by the ‘Church as a Business’ ideology or by CIA money, are coming to their end. Desperation and panic are their sign. Their time is clearly up.

 

The End of the Second Western Empire and the Road from Damascus: The Just Shall Live by His Faith and the Prophecies of Habbakuk

The First Western Empire lasted just over 500 years, from 27 BC in Rome to 476 AD in Rome (there was no year zero). Its successor, the Second Western Empire, lasted twice as long, 1,000 years, from 1014 with the proclamation of the filioque in Rome to 2014 with, in effect, the proclamation of the filioque in Kiev. This Second and Last Empire was much weakened by tribal rivalries between the nine phases of the Western Empire in Europe. These were between the ‘Holy Roman’, Northern Italian (Venice, Genoa, Florence), Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French, British, German and Soviet phases. Their rival jostling for leadership of the Empire led to two suicidal European (World) Wars and to the final and tenth phase of the Western Empire, its American phase.

The First Western Empire fell and now the Second is falling. The parallels are obvious. The First Empire fell to ‘barbarians’, but who were less barbarian than Rome. The First Western Empire fell because the Romans who lived on its periphery sided with the converted ‘barbarians’, realising that Rome was the barbarian. Today the Second Western Empire is falling to Non-Westerners, not least of whom are the Russians, who today are converted, more European than the Europeans. The Non-Westerners, ‘the Rest’, form the Sovereign World, whose struggle for multipolarity is the struggle for justice and prosperity. The Western Empire can only respond by convincing countries to commit suicide, as in the Ukraine, Georgia and all of the EU, starting with Nordstream Germany.

The upshot of the First European War was the British-operated regime change in the Russian empire at the end of 1916, which backfired disastrously into the Soviet quagmire. The result of the Second European War was American intervention (it had already taken place in the First European War, as soon as the British had overthrown their Russian rivals) and American leadership of the Western Empire from 1945 on. Now the Americans always promoted gangsters and terrorists to head their imperial client-states. Thus, after reaching an apogee at the turn of the millennium, they declined rapidly. This always happens, as the method used contains the seeds of its own destruction (1). ‘Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind’. So now all is backfiring into the Syrian quagmire of beheadings.

The artificial, post-Ottoman countries of West Asia, designed by the divide and rule British (and French) after the First World War and held together by brutal dictators (only such could hold artificial countries together), are crumbling. Iraq, Libya and Syria. Who is next? The Jordan? Lebanon? Egypt? Syria is a trap for the Western Empire. It was only a pawn between the West and the Rest. Far more important pieces on the Western side of the chessboard can now be taken by the Rest. The Western Empire is today like a cornered, wounded and snarling beast. Cornered because it has painted itself into a corner; wounded because it has lost all its wars, from Korea to the Ukraine; snarling because it has humiliated itself in defeats and because liberation from the West for all Afro-Eurasia is here.

Thus, the Second Western Empire started collapsing immediately after reaching its apogee, the criminal ascent to which contained the seeds of its own destruction. This destruction is the result of unscrupulous imperial overreach, just like that in the First Western Empire 1600 years before. This most recent stage in the collapse began with the fall of the Soviet phase of the Empire at the end of 1991, exactly three generations after the end of the Russian Imperial phase in 1916. That Soviet phase was only the short-lived, dissident last European phase of the Western Empire, patterned by successive phases. Everything is now in motion, the outposts of the Western Empire are falling one by one. We are now on the Road from Damascus – the Road towards Jerusalem.

Despite its dissidence which came from its Western Marxist ideology, the Soviet phase of the Western Empire still shared in the same basic immoral materialistic ideology as all the others. This explains why the fall of the Soviet empire was not the end of a process, as some deluded people like Fukuyama thought, but the beginning of a process, that of the final phase and fall of the Western Empire. The fall of the Soviet empire merely presaged the fall of the American empire a generation later. (Both the Soviet Union and America were former European colonies which overtook the eight heartland phases of the Western Empire). Now we are at ‘the end of history’, that is, at the end of Western history, the result of the imperial overreach in the regime change operation in Kiev in 2014.

And so world history is beginning again after its millennial Western Imperial interruption. Each country of the world, big or small, is now reclaiming and returning to its roots, restoring its sovereignty, identity, nationhood and traditions. The future is not Imperial, but Multipolar, which means it is composed of the co-operation of many centres and of the collaboration of the Nations. From Russia to China, from India to Iran, from Africa to Latin America, from Vietnam to Polynesia, we no longer see the attempt by one Nation to subjugate others to its imperial supremacy and domination, so forming an Empire, instead we see anti-imperial Sovereignties. We have come to the time of the prophecies of Habbakuk (Avvakum), beginning in Chapter 1, Verse 5:

Chapter 1, 2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!

3 Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.

4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgement never goes forth: for the wicked compasses about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceeds.

5 Behold among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which you will not believe, though it be told to you.

6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not theirs.

7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.

8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are fiercer than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hastens to eat.

9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every stronghold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

12 Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

Chapter 2, 2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he that reads it may run.

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.

12 Woe to him that builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!

14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

Chapter 3, 2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.

6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.

13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck.

15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.

16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he comes up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.

 

Note:

  1. This ‘bully, sanction and bomb’ policy is the case even of an American bishop sent abroad to assemble all the worst elements in his tiny church, fanatics and careerists, in order to seize power, ‘bullying, sanctioning and bombing’ and so expelling all the honest when challenged. This is exactly the same American technique containing exactly the same seeds of destruction.

The Long March to the Inevitable Local Church of Western Europe

I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!

Martin Luther King, 1968

Introduction

One of the main hopes in my life has been Church unity and to see a united Local Church here one day. From the outset I could see that the forces of division were very strong. However, I still did not want unity at any price, unprincipled unity, but unity in Truth and in Love. Such unity is only possible once the Church administration is free of politics and respects and tolerates others. It is unity in Christ. Ignorance, narrowness and judgementalism are to be cast aside. However, the existence of a Local Church cannot be an end in itself.

We have the example of the Orthodox Church in America (OCA).  It was a very brave move to establish the OCA, but over 50 years on we can see that it has been a failure. We have to learn from that. As in that example, all the impediments to establishing an authentic Local Church anywhere, in our case, in Western Europe, are ideological, top-down problems, which come from the elite. These impediments are all by definition divisive, not unitive, and therefore cannot build a Local Church. There are three impediments, namely:

Nationalism

When I was young, any young person who approached Greek, Serbian, Romanian or Bulgarian Orthodox churches and asked to join was told, at best, to ‘go away’. ‘You are not of our nationality’. The only Orthodox Church which would accept those not of its nationality was the Russian Church. Unfortunately, the Russians were divided into three anti-unity factions for purely political, reasons. They concerned differing attitudes towards the then Soviet regime in Russia. Nevertheless, we had to be patient. We had no other choice, despite the squabbles imposed top-down on pastors and people. For example, one of these Russian groups was based around a personality cult with indecent undertones. I refused the priesthood there and we left. We sought Christ, not sensualists. It collapsed, as soon as the object of the cult had died. However, we realised that our task, to help bring unity to these three groups, could only be successful once the cause of division, the Soviet regime, had fallen.

In North America, there seemed to be some hope in the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), founded in 1970, which claimed to be the Church for all Orthodox in North America. However, it attracted relatively few of the Orthodox population, only about 10%. This was because it was unable to accept different nationalities, languages, calendars and customs, as it too fell into nationalism, namely, into American nationalism, and tried to impose ‘Americanism’ on all. In other words, it replaced Greek, Russian and other nationalisms with American nationalism and so could not become a Local Church for all. So some criticised it as ‘Coca-Cola Orthodoxy’, as they found much of it turned not towards the spiritual, but towards the lowest common denominator. Some there cruelly imposed the English language and made it obligatory, they had a Protestant spirit, an anti-monastic and modernistic ethos, and created spiritual emptiness, failing to provide the people with spiritual food.

Ecumenism

In the 70s and right up to the early 2000s many Orthodox bishops, some under political pressure, others because they were just superficial careerists and bureaucrats and had little faith, were engaged in a purely political movement called ecumenism. Now, the idea that Orthodox should be good neighbours with Roman Catholic and Protestants is of course accepted by all, except by the pathologically ill (see below). However, ecumenism, as such, is a political ideology, involving freemasonry (I was once promised the priesthood, if I agreed to become a freemason). Ecumenism involved compromises with the Faith, known as modernism, liberalism and, in general, ‘new calendarism’. This is completely unacceptable to anyone with an Orthodox consciousness and who is rooted in our Orthodoxy of the monasteries, pastors and people.

Typically of the ecumenists, many Greek bishops then declared that there was no difference between different Christians; as phyletists (racists) they sent English people away and instructed them to become Anglicans; in the 70s one Russian Metropolitan openly gave communion to Jesuits, whom he admired for their wealth and power (later he died in the arms of a Pope), giving rise to speculation that he had been a secret cardinal; another aristocratic ‘protopresbyter’ celebrated the liturgy in France with the filioque (!), so that ‘the Catholics will not be shocked’ and suggested ‘structures in waiting’, that is, there was no need for a Local Church, as we should wait to be absorbed into Roman Catholicism. true, the ecumenist danger has diminished over the last decade or so, but only to be replaced by yet the latest deformation, described below.

Pathology

The third and no less divisive ideology which impedes the development of a Local Church is neither nationalist, nor ecumenist, but pathological. This stems from immigrant inferiority complexes or else from the insecurity complexes of neophytes. The first complexes come from the second and third generations of immigrants who suffer from insecurity and want to make out that they have some exclusive ideological truth, which condemns all others who do not confess it. This is highly divisive and will never lead to the formation of a Local Church, which requires not intolerance and, even less, fanaticism, but openness to all. Such people are concerned only with exclusivism, to the point of the esoteric. The second set of complexes come from a pathological and unChristian need to condemn those who come from the same original background as the neophyte.

I remember a comment about one Dutch convert to Orthodoxy who came from a strong Roman Catholic family: ‘I am not sure if he is Orthodox, but he certainly is anti-Roman Catholic’. This complex illustrates that it is pathological and can reach proportions of hatred and jealousy which reach psychiatric depths. Such people never belong to the Orthodox Church, but always to sects and are capable of making captive parts of the Orthodox Church into schismatic sects and cults. This can be seen most obviously among old calendarists, but not only. Groups which have lost their ethnic base, like ROCOR and Antioch, and have to recruit from unstable converts, can be prone to such psychopathological fanaticism and exclusivism. Fortunately, such groups are very small and do not impede the majority, who are concerned with the millions of mass Orthodoxy.

Conclusion

What is the situation today? The pathological attract the internet generation of incels and other lonely and often unstable individuals, and not families. There is clearly a psychological disease here. This trend will not continue, for only families are the continuity of the Church down the generations. As for ecumenism, it died after the fall of Communist persecution and nobody talks about it today, though modernism and liberalism are still alive, especially among the old generation. As regards nationalism, the situation has changed.

Unlike fifty years ago, today, ironically, it is the Russian Church which has turned to nationalism and for now is in schism, largely turning its back on Non-Russians and on a Local Church. The problem is that pastors have been replaced by politicians and monks by managers. Now others, especially the Greek and Romanian Churches, which are in any case far larger than the Russian in the Diaspora, are generally turning away from nationalism and towards local people. Here there is at last hope for the future Local Church of Western Europe.

 

On the Suicide of Empires

‘America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy.’

President John Quincy Adams, 1821

‘Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.’

(In the Latin version ‘make mad’ is ‘dementat’)

William Scott, 1854

 

The Suicide of the Russian Empire

1916-1991

The Russian Empire was proclaimed in 1721. God gave Russia everything, by far the largest territory on earth, natural riches of all sorts, much genius, and the Orthodox Christian faith. But Russians threw it all away in apostasy. The first shot of the Fall was fired at the end of 1916, announcing the disaster to come. With the Emperor betrayed by the aristocratic elite within, enslavement was carefully planned and organised by their foreign allies. But Russia could only be destroyed by suicide, the suicidal consent to enslavement. After exactly three generations, 75 years, the Empire, at first Russian and then Soviet, had been destroyed. Only in 2022 did the New Russia show that it had learned from the treachery of 1917, declaring all traitors to be foreign agents and closing down all foreign-funded organisations and their media. The suicide had taken seventy-five years. It had ended in the rule of gerontocrats, Brezhnev and his followers.

The Suicide of the British Empire

1916-1956

The beginning of the British Empire can formally be dated to 1707, with the Union of England and Scotland. In 1740 it began singing its anthem ‘Rule Britannia’. In 1916 Milner’s Round Table group began the transfer of British power to the USA. They agreed that Russia would be overthrown and the US would enter the First War immediately afterwards. The British Century (1815-1916) had ended and the American Century had begun. A few months later came the Balfour Declaration, just after the second Russian Revolution, which brought bloodthirsty foreigners to power, implementing genocide there. Thus began the gradual suicide of the British Empire, dying in Suez in 1956, when the US betrayed the UK, establishing its own Empire. The British Empire, condemned by its own injustices worldwide, had ended. Its suicide had taken just forty years. The Empire ended with the half-American gerontocrat, the Victorian Churchill.

The Suicide of the American Empire

1990-2030?

The American Empire can trace its origins back to the centralisation of Unionist power after the Civil War in 1865. This had brought the south into the grasp of the industrial and oligarchic north. However, it was only after the Second World War in 1945 that American power came to dominate the Western world and most of the Non-Communist world. After the collapse of that Communist world which began in Berlin in November 1989, power went to the heads of the US elite and they actually believed that the whole world belonged to them, that history had ended with their triumph. Hubris was destroying them and so began their decline. The end of the American Century came in the Ukraine – the ultimate vanity project which opened in 2014. The slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ means it is no longer great. It had lost its faith, family life and identity. The decline is taking forty years. The demented Biden reflects its gerontocracy.

The Future: Five Great Powers

What of the future? What will replace the only ‘Superpower’, with which name the hegemon briefly flattered itself before its defeat and humiliation? To replace it, the nations of the free world are developing a New World Order, an Alliance of Sovereign Nations called BRICS, which replaces the failed UN, which replaced the failed League of Nations. However, from the world of nearly 200 sovereign nations, five strategic BRICS nations will play a particularly important role in the future, influencing the different regions and continents of the world. Clockwise, north, east, south and west, these are:

  1. North Asia (Russia) and Africa

With the world’s fourth largest economy, the largest in Europe, the Russian Federation is the ideological, diplomatic and military centre of the New World Order. It leads North Asia, that is Eurasia, the 5,000,000 square kilometres of the Eastern half of Europe (European Russia, the New Ukraine (Kievan Rus) and Belarus) and North Asia, including Korea and Japan. Russia also leads Africa ideologically, the land of the ancestors of the Russian national poet Pushkin, renewing the support of the martyred Tsar for colonially exploited Ethiopia and South Africa, both of which countries have been helped by Russia to join BRICS. Others African nations are decolonialising with Russian help and huge Chinese investment and are following BRICS: Algeria, Morocco, Niger, Burkina Faso, Uganda, Nigeria.

  1. East Asia (China) and Latin America

China has the largest economy in the world and is the first industrial and manufacturing centre of the New World Order. This ancient civilisation leads all East Asia, already with countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia. China also leads Latin America, which Chinese explorers may have visited in about 1420 and is now receiving large Chinese investments, especially through the BRICS founding member, Brazil. China is now returning to its pre-nineteenth century greatness and advanced status as a world power, whose main value is harmony.

  1. South Asia (The Indian Subcontinent)

The most populous country in the world and its third largest economy, India, is the second industrial and manufacturing centre of the New World Order. It leads all South Asia, with the countries of the Indian Subcontinent. India and its neighbours like Bengal (Bangladesh) are returning to their manufacturing pre-eminence, which they had before British exploitation and captivity.

  1. West Asia (Iran)

This is the third industrial and diplomatic centre of the New World Order and leads all West Asia (once incorrectly called the Middle East), with countries like Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Saudi Arabia and all the Arab world. Iran has shown unique moral leadership in the question of Palestine and so will dominate West Asia, with Jerusalem becoming an international capital.

  1. USA and the Anglosphere

Although, weighed down by unpayable debt and perhaps unable to survive in its present form, with the second largest economy in the world,  USA, or whatever will replace it, will continue to dominate the Anglosphere. It has by far the largest population from the English-speaking peoples. The Anglosphere consists of Northern America (USA, Canada and Greenland), Oceania (Australia and New Zealand), and Northern Europe (see below). Although these countries are much weakened and discredited and their future is uncertain, they can, together, recover, though all will need a great dose of humility if they are to take their rightful and humble place as just another part of the world community.

Western Europe

The 5,000,000 square kilometres of the western half of Europe have in recent years been dominated by the organisation known as the European Union (EU). As an amorphous, US-manipulated, anti-sovereignty organisation of very different cultures and languages, this has no future and may well divide into four groups.

  1. The first group of countries consists of the, for the moment ten, largely English-speaking countries of the Northern Union. These are: the UK, Ireland, the Nordics (Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland) and the Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia). This northern group of countries, of which the UK has already left the EU, are dominated by the English language and ex-Protestant culture. Although the UK will almost certainly disintegrate into England, Scotland and Wales, and Northern Ireland will return to Ireland, all these by then twelve countries will become for a time at least, part of the Anglosphere (see above).
  2. The second group of countries consists of the, for the moment sixteen, countries of south-eastern Europe, the ex-Habsburg, ex-Ottoman countries, many of which are Orthodox countries. These are: Czechia, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, Moldova, Bosnia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia, Greece and Cyprus. This large group of countries, including the Non-EU Western Balkans, will co-operate with Russia and China and, on an individual basis, join BRICS. However, first they have to remove their American, NATO or EU puppet rulers. This has already happened in Hungary and Slovakia, but Serbia, Austria, Croatia, Moldova and now Romania are following and others too will join them. The fate of Bosnia as an independent country is still uncertain, Montenegro may yet rejoin Serbia, and the Romanian part of Moldova may one day rejoin a free Romania, making perhaps only fourteen countries.
  3. The third group consists of the, for the moment, eight countries of south-western Europe. These are: Portugal, Spain, Andorra, France, Monaco, Italy, San Marino and Malta. These are all countries of Latin culture and will eventually follow the south-eastern European countries into BRICS. However, Catalonia may yet become independent, making nine countries.
  4. Finally, there is the fourth group, composed of the, for the moment, seven countries of the central strip of Europe (Benelux, Germany, Switzerland. Liechtenstein and Poland). These too will, in time, join BRICS on an individual basis, although the artificial country of Belgium may yet return to the Netherlands and France.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Wind Is Turning

The old left and right divisions in politics are long since over. The division has long been between Globalism and Patriotism, the elitists and the people. And for the elitists the people are ‘deplorables’, ‘garbage’ and in the UK ‘plebs’. This is clear from the US election results. Here the only question is if President-elect Trump will be able to keep any of his promises.

Trump certainly did not do so in his first term, when he further indebted his country, surrounded himself with warmongering neocons, endowed the Ukraine with lethal weapons and a fake Church. And he also encouraged Israeli aggression, abandoned missile treaties and illegally sanctioned other countries.

Clearly, next year he could in a deBidenised White House begin to resolve the huge problems within the dysfunctional USA, repairing its economy and crumbling infrastructure, controlling illegal immigration, stopping any further indebtedness by drastically reducing military expenditure and cutting waste, renewing failing US democracy, eliminating electoral fraud and ending the oppression of Wokeism.

Abroad Trump could broker peace in the Middle East, refusing Israel arms, establishing a Palestinian State, withdrawing US occupation forces in Syria, doing deals with China, North Korea, Iran and Cuba, and stopping interference in other countries through CIA fronts, so-called NGOs, as in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Georgia, Armenia, Serbia, Central Asia etc, through colour revolutions.

In Europe he could broker a peace deal, not in the Ukraine, which has already lost its needless war with Russia, but in Europe, because that is what is needed for peace in the Ukraine. For instance, Trump could take a trip to Moscow next January, ending the illegal sanctions against the Russian Federation and the absurd Western warrant for the arrest of President Putin. Then he could accept the new leader of deBidenised Kiev.

Trump could agree to the de facto establishment of a New Ukraine as a Russian Protectorate, abandoning its Greek-sponsored fake Church, as it deserves. Here he could offer to guarantee self-determination referenda in the far west of the Ukraine to find out which country the peoples there actually wish to belong to. Such self-determination may be necessary elsewhere, in the Baltics and Moldova, for example, or at least Trump could insist on establishing democracy and human rights in those countries for their long-oppressed Russian minorities.

Once the peoples have decided, then a Peace and Security Treaty can be drawn up among all the peoples of Europe who wish to belong to the Russian world (basically the Russian Federation, Belarus and the New Ukraine) and those who do not. Demilitarisation and the abolition of the old Cold War NATO can then follow, as no-one would any longer need to fear anything from one anyone else. Trump could take part credit for all this, blaming everything else on Biden.

In Europe, politicians like Orban, Fico, Meloni, Wilders, Farage, Le Pen and those of the AfD in Germany will ascend in Trump’s wake. The old unelected EU bureaucrats and globalists like von der Leyen and the wildly unpopular Macron, Scholz and Starmer will have to disappear. Will the peoples of Europe finally be allowed the leaders they want? Will the Nations of Europe come together in sovereignty and freedom, in peace and co-operation, leaving the EU to die its natural death?

Indeed, in reality will Trump do any of these things? Will he be free to or even allowed to do any of them, without getting assassinated? Or will he instead, as just another figurehead of the bankrupt USA, send more arms to the Ukraine and Israel and declare war on Iran and China? Will the US Congress continue to be Zionist-occupied territory? Will the madmen and madwomen of the EU and the UK declare war on Russia? These are the stuff of nightmares. However, they are also possible. The wind may be turning, but is it turning in the right direction? Or will it all just be more of the same?

 

 

Right Makes Might: On the Emerging Post-Western New World Order

Introduction: In the Ukraine

The only question here is if the Kiev regime will collapse and capitulate before 1 January 2025 or afterwards. Western media still practise ‘editorial control’ (= censorship) and distraction (= talk about something else which is petty, irrelevant and of no importance). However, they affect only the fairy-tale ‘narrative’, not the reality of, for example, 100,000 desertions from the NATO-directed, Kiev regime Army. These press-ganged soldiers are refusing to fight because they do not want to commit suicide in the utterly corrupt armed forces.

There is nothing to fight for. They want to go home to their families. Conversely, in Russia they are talking not about Western delusions, which they ignore, but about reality, for example, reparations to be paid by Kiev and war crime trials for the Nazi Kiev regime leaders, who have in fact murdered their own people. They are the true anti-Ukrainians, together with Western leaders who want to fight against Russia ‘to the last Ukrainian’. It is their version of genocide. Such Western leaders too should be tried in war crimes courts.

In the Russian Federation

As regards today’s Russia, some silly people ask if it will revert to the Imperialism of Peter I of 1721 to 1917 or to the very similar Imperialism of the Soviets 1922-1991 (the Soviets adored Peter I), as obviously Russia will not revert to the catastrophes of Western oligarchism (1991-2022).

Clearly, Russia will return to no form of Imperialism because they all by definition failed. The Western academics who propose such fantasies have no understanding. Russia is reverting to itself, which is what Tsar Nicholas II wanted, before he was removed by the Western plotters in 1917, who prevented him from doing so.

The problem is that this truth has not yet been told about the 1917 tragedy. Once the diaries of the Tsarina Alexandra, concealed for so many years, are finally published, all will know and all the Western ‘narratives’ about 1917 will then collapse.

In Europe

The EU has clearly become a vassal of the Washington neocon elite – just as the UK has long been. The EU elite, like the UK elite, is no longer pro-European, but pro-NATO, that is, pro-Washington, that is, anti-European. This is why when Germany’s Nordstream lifeline to Russian energy was blown up by the USA and its proxies and the country went into serious economic decline, the German ruling class was silent. Europe’s rulers hate their own countries and peoples, whom they ignore, even when the people vote them out, as in France. The elitists are anti-national because they are globalists.

The oligarchic nomenklatura of unelected European Union Commissioners, some of them the grandchildren of Nazi officers, are silent. In any case, the elite of the Brussels Politburo has little concept of the lives of ordinary Europeans. It is only an imitation of the unelected oligarchy who rule in Washington, and who also have no concept of the lives of ordinary Americans. They too are anti-national because they too are globalists. The solution to Europe’s self-inflicted woes is neither to be found in being pro-US, nor in being pro-Russian.

The solution is to be found in being pro-European, that is, pro-Hungarian, pro-Slovak, now pro-Georgian (after the failure there of US/’NGO’ and EU electoral fraud under its French puppet President) and, one day, perhaps even pro-French, pro-German, pro-Italian and pro-English. But that means liberation from the yoke of the globalist corporatism which rules us. This means not only liberation from their political yoke, but also from the ideological yoke of the ‘journalists’ paid by that elite, the mere propagandist-mercenaries of the oligarchs. None of them has ever heard the word ‘Truth’.

The World

The West has been defeated, not by millions of Vietnamese or Afghan peasants, but by the Russian Superpower against the (US-supplied and US-trained) largest army in NATO, that of the Kiev regime. The only way that the US could ever have won in the Ukraine is by launching a nuclear war against Russia, which would have meant the utter destruction of the USA itself, since Russia has better nuclear arms than the USA. The defeat of the Western Establishment in the Ukraine means that Might does not make Right. This is why the New World Order is about multilateralism, multipolarity, countries working together for their mutual benefit.

We are no longer talking about being dominated and exploited by one imperialist power. Imperialism, which caused World War I, World War II and nearly World War III, is being replaced by Sovereignism, the co-operation of nation-states. The multilateral or multipolar BRICS is now replacing the Western World Order and its Western-controlled UN and other puppet organisations. This is because those who join BRICS enhance their sovereignty, instead of handing it over to some new Washington or Brussels. It will be up to the West to eat humble pie and enter BRICS, as an equal among many, merely part of the World Community, for it is Right that makes Might, not the other way round. This is the millennial revelation to the Western world. The days of its Supremacy and its G7 club are over.

BRICS includes all Non-Western continents, Asia (China, India), Europe (Russia), Africa (South Africa) and South America (Brazil). Now with ten core members (true, Saudi Arabia has not yet formalised its membership as Number 10), there are twenty-five more countries which are sooner or later going to become full members or partner-states, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Algeria, Nigeria, Senegal, Uganda, Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Tadzhikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Syria, Turkey, Belarus and Serbia. BRICS has gone from a Non-Western Alliance to a true International Community, far more representative of the world than the US puppet, which is called the failed UN.

Conclusion: The Church

Right is Might is in fact the principle of the canon law of the Orthodox Church. And that is why all those who promote nationalist politics in Church administrations, that is, who proclaim that Might is Right against the law of the Gospel, the primacy of the Kingdom of Heaven, forfeit all spiritual and moral right to their positions.

Those who place racist politics and their nationalist ‘protocols’ above the pastoral care of souls do not qualify. They will disappear and, at best, be forgotten by history – at worst, they will die like Arius. The future is with those who clearly have a universal message, which can appeal to all. The paths of the sect lead but to inglory.

 

 

 

 

 

Our Archbishop Athanasius of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

The Most Reverend Athanasius of Bogdania, Vicar Bishop of the Diocese of Italy, was elected on Friday 25 October to the dignity of the Romanian Orthodox Archbishop of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The newly elected Archbishop of Great Britain is 42 years old and has been a bishop of the Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church since May 2018.

He was born on 17 January 1982 in Chisinau in the Republic of Moldova, being the first of the two sons of Eugen and Ala Rusnac and also speaks Russian. He has held Romanian citizenship since 12 October 2010.

He was tonsured monk on 8 December 2008 and then was ordained deacon. On 16 April 2009 he became a priest for the chapel of the Diocesan Centre and the Dormition Monastery in Rome. Between 2009 and 2018 he served at the ‘Dormition of the Virgin Mary’ Chapel next to the Diocesan Centre in Rome.

On 15 February 15 2018, he was elected Vicar Bishop of the Romanian Orthodox Diocese of Italy, with the title of Bogdania , and on 1 May he was consecrated bishop.

Archbishop Athanasius was an engineer. He studied between 2000 and 2005 at INSA Lyon (Institut National des Sciences Appliqués de Lyon – France). He obtained the degree of Engineer with a Master’s degree, his speciality – Telecommunications and Networks. He also followed a specialisation internship in the field of IT (MT Systems – Lyon, France).

Between 2006 and 2010, he attended the ‘Saint-Serge’ Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Paris, as did Fr Andrew Phillips, but that was over 25 years earlier. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in pastoral theology in 2010. Between 2010 and 2012, he attended a Master’s course in Practical Theology (Canon Law), at the Faculty of Theology ‘Andrei Șaguna’ in Sibiu. Master’s thesis – ‘Principles of Canon Theology in the Diaspora, with special reference to Italy’.

The Archdiocese of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as the Diocese of Ireland and Iceland, were established on 29 February 2024. The new dioceses are part of the Romanian Orthodox Metropolia of Western and Southern Europe.

There are over a million Romanians living in Great Britain who currently have 100 parishes, branches and Orthodox missions, as well as three monasteries.

An article from 2020

The life story of the hierarch baptised at the age of eight. From Communism to the Italian diaspora.

The youngest Romanian hierarch, Bishop Atanasie de Bogdania, turned 38 on Friday 17 January 2020. The hierarch gave an interview in which he talks about the story of his life, beyond the already known biography during his almost two years of service as Vicar Bishop of the Diocese of Italy.

Bishop Atanasie de Bogdania was born in Chisinau during the atheist Communist regime and was baptised around the age of eight along with his brother and father. He first became an engineer in Telecommunications and Networks in France, and then a monk in Italy, being a close disciple of Metropolitan Joseph of Western and Southern Europe and of Bishop Silouan of Italy.

His Eminence’s father was a university professor, and his mother worked in a publishing house, things that did not allow them to have visible faith in society. Both the wedding of the parents and the baptism of the children took place after 1990.

‘My father, after Communism fell, with great joy went to the first church he came across, a place of worship that had recently opened because the vast majority of churches had been closed, and asked the priest to marry him. The father, being an experienced minister, asked him: ‘Are you baptised?’, «No!», «But children?», «No children are baptised!».

“In this context, all three of us were baptised: me, my brother, the current deacon Mircea and my father. Shortly after, the parents got married,” recalls the hierarch.

“So, the first encounter with God consciously took place right when I received the Sacrament of Baptism at the age of 8. I remember the gestures that the priest made, the songs from the choir, the emotion of the people who surrounded us, that “How many of you have been baptized in Christ, have also clothed yourselves in Christ”, all of this left a mark on me”.

The Archbishop says that the Most Reverend Metropolitan Joseph and the Most Reverend Bishop Silouan formed him.

“At that time I was young, at 18 I arrived in France and with other colleagues from the INSA Lyon Faculty we went together to monasteries, churches and meetings with young people organised by the parishes. Such great openness, the natural way in which the hierarchs behaved, the way in which they approached people, opened in me this leaning towards Theology”.

This was followed by theological studies and various ministries within the EORI (Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of Italy): Diocesan Secretary, Administrative Counsellor, Exarch of the Monasteries and Diocesan Vicar.

On 15 February 2018, the Holy Synod of the Romanian Orthodox Church elected him Vicar Bishop of the Diocese of Italy, with the title “of Bogdania”. The consecration took place on 1 May 2018 in Rome.

His Eminence defines his ministry in Italy as a “family” one and relies heavily on the closeness between the clergy and the faithful.

“I try to spend as much time as possible in the territory, that’s why I feel close to the priests, with whom I have a very good relationship. I was godfather to many at their ordination, some I trained with, others I trained and I think we are a real family”.

“This is what I would like in the future: to be a family, together to carry the achievements, but also the hardships. I would like us to be as responsible as we have been until now, that is, to work together for our salvation.”

Although he has been a bishop since 2018, His Eminence has served for ten years in the administration of the Diocese of Italy. “During the ten years of activity, much has been done materially, but the biggest achievement is that our churches are full, people love and seek the Church. That is why our responsibility is very, very big. But in the family everything goes together, both good and bad, to the glory of God”.

 

The Fall of the Western Empire: All Roads Lead to Kazan

According to the American-run Mediazona group, which no-one would ever accuse of being pro-Russian, the number of Russian deaths in the Ukrainian conflict is now nearly 73,000, with perhaps another 100,000 wounded and 6 deserters. This compares with 848,000 Ukrainian deaths and seriously wounded, with perhaps 1,000,000 less seriously wounded and over 80,000 deserters, let alone the millions who have run away abroad to avoid being press-ganged into the suicidal military who are dying in vain for the USA.

Ex-President Zelensky is now so desperate and delusional that he is blackmailing and bluffing NATO with the threat of using nuclear weapons. This threat is if NATO does not allow the Ukraine to join it and so if NATO countries are not obliged to participate in the US proxy war directly. This is an empty threat, because he does not have any nuclear weapons and cannot obtain them. And a NATO proxy war is by definition one in which NATO does not lose any troops.

As for the Western Empire with its plutocrat oligarchy, it is desperately trying to hold on in the Ukraine and the Middle East until the inauguration of the new US President in January 2025. They know that the war is lost. Even if they throw a few more billion dollars at the Ukraine, it will make no difference, as dollar bills do not win wars. Already a trillion dollars, which is what this futile conflict has so far cost the USA and Western Europe in subsidies and suicidal sanctions, has made no difference except to postpone the inevitable defeat of Kiev.

Only arms, munitions and soldiers make a difference. And there are very few of those left in the Ukraine, especially after the disastrous invasion of Russia’s historic Kursk province. This has already cost nearly 26,000 Ukrainian dead and seriously wounded and nearly 1,000 tanks, vehicles and artillery pieces. As for the NATO warehouses, they are almost empty, and NATO countries are unable in their very deindustrialised state to make arms and munitions. The casino player has little more to bet; the hand is lost. How can he leave the gaming table without losing face?

As for the Ukrainian regime, it is clearly a Fascist state which steals hundreds of churches from the faithful and allows its armed gangsters to lock them up so no-one can go in. No-one will go in. Whereas Russia has a military strategy, Kiev has only a PR strategy, Psyops, devised by US and UK PR companies which give out their lies to be parroted by the Western media. (As for Israel, it is bankrupt, its economy is in tatters and hundreds of thousands of Israelis are fleeing, especially to Cyprus, Greece and the USA. Who wants to live in Israel now?).

In fact, the plutocrat oligarchs are now facing their nightmare of a threefold defeat in the headlines: Russian troops greeted victoriously by masses of people lining the roads, as they liberate the Russian port of Odessa and Transdnistria and vigorous support shown for Russia all over north-east and south-east Europe, not only in Hungary and Slovakia; the Russian victory comes in establishing a New Ukraine in the north and west of the present Ukraine on the model of Belarus and with an independent Church; Iran shoots down over 50 Israeli warplanes and destroys Israeli bases and concentrations of armour and troops with its unstoppable hypersonic missiles; Chinese troops land in Taiwan and greeted as liberators by virtually all the (Chinese) people who live there and support for China shown throughout the Asia-Pacific.

The reality is that the US has $36 trillion of unpayable debt. This is more even than its official GDP, which in reality is far lower than that declared.  It has wasted $8 trillion on its forever wars which it has lost since 2003. It also has to finance some 750 military bases in 80 countries, not to mention CIA offices all over the world. Only US arms merchants and politicians benefit. The US can no longer afford to keep its colonies among the Global Majority, and will be obliged to abandon Israel, South Korea, Taiwan, just as it has had to abandon the Ukraine. It will have to evacuate Western Europe, which will finally have to sort itself out, dividing into four regions, the 21 countries of the north-west and south-west, and the many others in the north-east and south-east, close to Russia, which in this way become ready to join BRICS. The US will be left, at best, to concentrate on its crippled self.

Nine hundred years of Western colonisation, 450 years of colonial expansion to the peripheries of Europe, 450 years of colonial expansion outside Europe, and since 1945 decolonisation, first political and now at last real, that is, economic and geopolitical, have led to the present situation. The Western world is collapsing because it is harvest-time and the devil is dancing around it. The BRICS Summit in Kazan is not the beginning of the end of the Western Empire, but the ending of the end of that Empire.
