The American Empire (1945-2022) RIW (Rest in War)

With thanks to Batiushka, the author

There died a myriad,
And of the best, among them,
For an old bitch gone in the teeth,
For a botched civilization.
– Hugh Selwyn Mauberley, Ezra Pound

Introduction: The Orthodox Christian View

I belong to the 200 million-strong Orthodox Christian Church and Civilisation. I am an Orthodox priest who has lived in many European countries, more than in Russia. In other words, I am one of those who is a Christian priest and although geographically inside the Western thought-world, still remains outside it. The only Orthodox Christians who are part of that world are a few very senior Greek clergy, based in Istanbul, who have been bribed and blackmailed over the last century to agree to anything that first London and then, ever since 1947 (https://orthodoxhistory.org/2019/12/11/ousting-the-ecumenical-patriarch/) Washington have proclaimed.

Apart from those few Greek clergy run by and run for Washington, we have absolutely no illusions about what has been happening in the Ukraine since the US overthrew the democratically-elected government in Kiev in 2014. Then the puppet regime, at first under the billionaire oligarch Poroshenko, at present under the millionaire actor Zelensky, began to genocide Ukrainians who live in the eastern and southern Ukraine, outlawed all other political parties and persecuted any resistance to itself with their Nazi Secret Police, the dreaded CIA-run SBU, using its Telegram, the favoured method of communication of CIA spies the world over.

In other words, we are part of the 7 billion majority who stand against the 1 billion minority, we are part of the 87.5% against the 12.5%, part of the Rest against the West. Our people refuse to attend NATO churches, for those, consciously or unconsciously, are anti-Christian. For today the Western world is isolated. Its millennium of organised violence, ‘conquests’, ‘crusades’, ‘victories’, exploitation, extraction, asset-stripping, colonisation, imperialism, concentration camps, ‘world wars’, bullying, bribery and illegal sanctions (only the UN can legally sanction) has thrown the Rest together against the Western world. Enough is enough.

Russia and China

Since its violence in Kiev in 2014, the West has thrown Russia into the embrace of China. This is no bad thing. In stark contrast to Clinton’s blatant lie over a generation ago never to expand NATO to the disbanded Warsaw Pact countries of Central and Eastern Europe, Russia has been threatened for years. Threatened by the NATO militarisation of the Ukraine, by its huge weapon supplies, the training of its troops in NATO camps, the years of excavation of anti-Russian lines of fortifications and trenches in the east, by US missiles stationed on the Russian border in the eastern and northern Ukraine, by Kiev being given nuclear weapons and by over thirty anti-Slav US biolabs in the Ukraine. The latter prepared nothing very different from a US biolab contract for an engineered virus, leaked in Wuhan in 2019. The rest of that is now history.

As for China, it has been continually threatened by the US-occupied colony in Taiwan, bristling with US weapons pointed directly at China. And this despite the fact that the Taiwanese are Chinese and that over half of them want to return to being part of China, instead of living in an artificially divided country and being exploited by US arms merchants and their paid puppets to threaten their ethnic compatriots and relatives on the mainland. As Taiwan is simply the Chinese Ukraine and the Ukraine is simply the Russian Taiwan, of course Russia and China are embracing in Moscow now. Russia and China together mean: food, fertiliser, oil and gas and a huge proportion of the world’s manufactured goods. The combination is irresistible.

Western presstitutes ask if China will supply Russia with lethal Chinese weapons. They should be asking if Russia will supply China with lethal Russian weapons – like those supplied by the West to Kiev at the cost of tens of billions. Everyone with a brain, and that means the whole Global South, including Orthodox Christian Civilisation, knows that the conflict in the Ukraine is an American proxy war, which uses press-ganged Ukrainians as meat, mercenary cannon fodder, well-paid if you, highly improbably, survive. Wherever the US has been, it leaves fire and blood, ‘shock and awe’, as it euphemistically calls its camouflaged massacres of the innocent. Just look at the recent list: Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq again, Syria, Libya and now the Ukraine.

Free Europe

Of course, no-one in Europe is naïve about highly unlikely Soviet Imperial temptations, once Russia has liberated the Ukraine from Western Fascism. (Yes, Nazism has always been a purely Western product). However, the multipolar President Putin for one has no such Imperialist temptations. As he has repeatedly stated: ‘He who is not nostalgic for the SU (Soviet Union) has no heart, but he who wants it back has no brain’. On the other hand, the naivety in Europe about US Imperial temptations is extensive – at least among its puppet leaders and economic elites. After all, European political leaders in no way represent their peoples, they have been installed by the US. The blue-suited Rothschild clones, Scholz, Macron and Sunak (all who serve in the US Vassal Army wear the same uniform) are leading their brainwashed peoples into a Suicide Pact.

Meanwhile, masses of poor Moldovans demonstrate, and Czechs, and Italians, and Germans, and French, and even the peoples of the strike-bound UK, who demonstrate in their hundreds of thousands, though unreported by the highly censored British State propaganda mouthpiece, the BBC, and all British Establishment media. The average German, Frenchman, Briton, Italian and all the others have all got poorer as a result of the US holy Crusade for Liberal Democracy, LGBTQ rights and the sanctity of Communist-invented Ukrainian borders. However, the oligarchs, politicians and arms merchants have all got much richer. And in a ‘Liberal Democracy’ (= Oligarchal Tyranny), that is all that matters.

True, the International Criminal Court has voted to accuse President Putin of ‘war crimes’ for evacuating and so rescuing hundreds of Ukrainian children from death at the hands of the Kiev Nazis. A majority of representatives in the Court, with its 40 cowed European vassals (President Orban of Hungary can sometimes stand out as the lone exception) and bribed representatives of Pacific Island micronations and other mini-States ($1,000,000 goes a long way with some), impoverished Africans, bullied by the threat of illegal sanctions, and unrepresented countries like Afghanistan, did vote for the US resolution. But that is a minority of the world’s people. BRICS + is half the world’s population alone. The recent reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, with the visit of the leader of Belarus, means they will also be applying to join BRICS with all the others in the line. Multipolarity is the order of the day.

The Banking Crisis

Meanwhile, the Goebbels-run MSM present the world as divided between Autocrats and Democrats. Their only mistake is to present the Western world as ruled by Democrats and the rest by Autocrats. In fact, it is the other way round. The hugely popular President Putin and President Xi, like others in other countries, are the Democrats, the popular national, and sometimes nationalist, leaders, who defend their sovereign nation states, their interests and their ethnic peoples. Whereas the West is ruled by Autocrats, Transnational Oligarchs, like Trump and Biden. They think they are indispensable – but only because they live in a virtual reality, where their international rules-based order is whatever the US Government says it is. They preach globalism, by which they mean transnational dictatorship.

And now they are in trouble because of their banking crisis. Banking crisis? Yes, who wants to invest in unpayable debt? Who wants to buy the ‘bonds’ of governments, which are simply electronic registrations for unpayable debt. The $31.6 trillion of US national debt (https://www.usdebtclock.org/) will never be repaid. Nor will the collective French and UK $5 trillion+, nor the chronic Japanese, nor the Italian, nor the Belgian – nor the Ukrainian debt. Without dollars, the Ukraine would long ago have collapsed. The West will never get its money back from there, as the victorious Russians will simply not return it. Western leaders have signed a Suicide Pact, but have forgotten to tell their peoples about it.

What the Ukrainian conflict shows is the geopolitical reality that the Global South, the seven billion, rejects the economic neo-colonialism of the West, pursued under the camouflage of ‘liberal internationalism’ and LGBT+ That is nothing but new Opium Wars and it is just as racist. Thus, the racist UK welcomes Ukrainians, who in no way have been touched by war, who drive there from Poland in their Mercedes sports cars and then subsidises them. They are white. But those who flee starvation and genocide in Africa and the US wars in the Middle East risk their lives to arrive in the UK in rubber boats from northern France are put into camps and then sent away. They are brown. And the EU is no less racist. None other than the EU’s very own Neanderthal, Josep Borrell, recently publicly proclaimed that ‘Europe Is a garden. The rest of the world is a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden.’ We will leave him to Hitler’s garden. We prefer the jungle.

Conclusion: The US Empire is Collapsing at Stalingrad II

The American Empire was detonated in 1945 by President Truman – with an atomic bang, or rather, two atomic bangs. The Empire now has some 900 foreign bases (not to mention 749 inside the US). It is the largest Empire that the world has ever seen. But since 24 February 2022 it has been collapsing into dark holes of debt, greed and depravity. The lies of the Empire’s rulers (the Emperor does indeed have no clothes) have become desperate. Their clown Zelensky has been fighting a war on behalf of the US, using his army of Western-trained Nazis. But Zelensky is just another tinpot dictator-gangster on the CIA-inspired model. He is now turning against the US, and the US is turning against him, just as it turned against Saddam Hussein and any number of Latin American and Asian gangster proteges of the CIA.

The US claims either directly, or else indirectly through its Western vassals, that wars always end in negotiation. That claim is a measure of its desperation. All wars end in negotiation? Really? Like Vietnam? Like Afghanistan? President Putin is playing while Washington burns. He can afford to wait, taking his time to liberate the Ukraine from Nazidom, just as the USSR did between 1943 and 1944. At present the main battle is for the transport hub of Bakhmut in south-eastern Ukraine. The Kiev regime has poured tens of thousands of men into it to die there and seen destroyed most of the military equipment supplied to it by the US and Western Europe. If this small town were not important to it, as it has begun to proclaim since beginning to lose it, Kiev would never have sacrificed its resources in that meat-grinder trap.

Now Bakhmut is about to fall. It is 70% liberated already. Between 12,000 and 20,000 Kiev troops are still left there, to die, or to be maimed, or else to surrender. Escape is cut off. We are again going from Stalingrad to Berlin, for Bakhmut is Stalingrad II. Bakhmut will go down – has gone down – in history. Not that Russian tanks are going to be seen in Berlin. Berlin is involved because Berlin is the economic key to all Europe outside the Russian Lands. Berlin will follow because it cannot survive economically without Russian raw materials. With it the US Empire in Europe will collapse. 1945 is over. Meanwhile the West seeks an ‘exit strategy’, its propaganda euphemism for an escape route from its rout and blind panic. This time it is not from Saigon or Kaboul, it is from the Armageddon of financial, political and military collapse. It will be even more humiliating because this is not the beginning of the end, it is the end of the end.
