In Sermon, Patriarch Kirill links Ukraine War with Gay Pride Parades.

Incidentally there’s talk that Col Macgregor may well become Secretary of Defense if Trump returns to the White House.

 

Well that should tell u everything.

 

What does it tell us?

 

1. All you have to do is look at what Putin's right hand man Medvedev is saying:

"Medvedev wrote on Twitter that he saw "no point in maintaining diplomatic relations with Poland" in which "there is no one but Russophobes in power." He added that Ukraine "is full of Polish mercenaries, who should be ruthlessly exterminated like stinky rats."

Since the start of the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Medvedev, the current deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, has used inflammatory rhetoric against the West and even suggested that Moscow takes its war as far as its border with Poland."

2. You didn't answer my question: what caused Finland and Sweden to apply to join NATO? Vladimir Putin's aggression is what caused it and we all know it.

Also, why has Putin thrown Alexei Navalny in jail exactly? Is that what a Good Leader does, throw his political opponents in jail for disagreeing with him?

"Last summer while he was visiting supporters in distant Siberia, the Federal Security Service (FSB), the KGB’s main successor, apparently tried to kill him. ... His latest, “Putin’s Palace,” alleges that an enormous estate has been built for the Russian president with the fruits of corruption. It has been viewed more than 100 million times." https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/03/11/navalny-persecution-just-tip-russian-crackdown

Navalny has condemned the Ukraine War from the beginning: "This is a stupid war which your Putin started," Navalny told a court hearing in 2022. "This war was built on lies." "One madman has got his claws into Ukraine and I do not know what he wants to do with it - this crazy thief."

3. It is Russia that blatantly violated its historical commitment under the Budapest Memorandum: "The memoranda, signed in Patria Hall at the Budapest Convention Center with US Ambassador Donald M. Blinken amongst others in attendance,[3] prohibited the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States from threatening or using military force or economic coercion against Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, "except in self-defence or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations." As a result of other agreements and the memorandum, between 1993 and 1996, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons.[4][5] ... In March 2022, the Conversation argued: "Russia’s invasion of Ukraine today is an even more serious violation and effectively buries Russia’s assurances in the Budapest Memorandum."[50]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Memorandum#2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

The UK and US forced/made Ukraine to give up its Nuclear Weapons - to Russia! - and Russia promised neither to invade or threaten aggression against Ukraine in return. The last 9 years the whole world can see how absolutely blatantly Putin's Russia has failed in that commitment it made.

The West needs to get its house in order, above all by electing Conservative Leaders, and returning to holiness, but that is no excuse for Putin's Invasion of Ukraine - a 90% Christian Country, mostly Orthodox Christian.

 

Read this Interview with an Ukrainian Catholic Priest.

https://sspx.org/en/news-events/news/interview-priest-society-saint-josaphat-war-ukraine-73867

"The following is an interview with Fr. Bogdan Vytrykush of the Society of Saint Josaphat (SSJK), a fraternity of traditional Ukrainian Greek Catholic priests associated with the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). It was conducted by the author of The Okie Traditionalist blog and with the blessing of Fr. Vytrykush's superior. The original interview, along with the interviewer's commentary, is available online here. We wish to thank the interviewer for permission to reproduce this interview. Minor stylistic edits have been made throughout, but the conversational style of the interview has been retained.

Since its founding in 2000, the SSJK has been strongly affiliated with the SSPX. In addition to supplying spiritiual and material support, the Society's bishops have ordained numerous priests for the SSJK over the years. In February, SSPX Superior General Davide Pagliarani issued a statement asking for prayers for Ukraine on behalf of the SSJK.

Dear Joseph,

I want to thank you once again for your request about this interview. Your questions, directed to our society as traditional Ukrainian priests shows your open position: trying to estimate the current war, objectively related to it events (from different points of view). I understand your concern about the risk of Word War III, but for the Ukrainian people a big terrible war is already running for more than two months.

Our people are dying, our cities are being destroyed, about 10 million people left their homes and moved inside of our country and abroad. Civilians in the occupied territories are being sexually abused and tortured. It is our current reality and the only thing what we can do as a normal people is to defend ourselves. It is normal also after God’s law, natural law. And our people are ready to do it with or without external help. The only question is how many more people will die in the war if we are not helped ...

For example, he could analyze the position of the Catholic bishops of Ukraine. He instead considers Ukrainians only as an object of manipulations by western globalists and that is offensive to us. Our country is not just a battlefield between the United States and Russia, it is a sovereign country with a population of about 40 million people with one of the biggest areas in Europe. And it is our country that was attacked by Russia, and it is our army that spends a war for the freedom of our people ...

... Putin’s declaration in Munich 2008, that he considers the collapse of the Soviet Union the greatest world’s catastrophe of the 20th century? That declaration means he wants to restore the Soviet Union, to take Ukraine again under control of Russia.

I just want to show here the deep reason of Russian aggression towards Ukraine. Nobody may say that it is only confrontation between Russia and the globalist West, and Ukraine is just a battlefield ... the facts of this war show that it was Russian troops who acted like Nazis.

After the liberation from Russian occupancy of such cities as Bucha, Irpin, and Gostomel, hundreds of corpses of civilians were found there with traces of torture, the bodies of raped and killed women who they tried to burn.

On several occasions, the Russians did not allow humanitarian missions to enter Mariupol or other occupied cities to deliver food or evacuate civilians. This army, which came "to save the Russian-speaking population," almost wiped out Mariupol, a city of more than four hundred thousand people, mostly Russian-speaking."

Tucker Carlson et al are one of the worst people/places to get one's information on this War from. Ukrainian Catholic Priests on the Ground, much better.

 

I'll take Tucker any day over Newsweek. Or local news etc.

 

Fr. Bogdan is not a Secular News Commentator. He is a Traditional Catholic Priest. I'll go with him. May God and Mary guide us all. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Fr. Bogdan: "But this act, unlike previous ones, contains a clear mention of Russia and at least the Pope's call for the participation of all bishops. We heard that lot of them responded to him. Therefore, we hope for an answer from heaven. This answer may not be as clear-cut as it would have been if everything had been done properly.

It is possible that Russia's conversion will not happen in the near future. I personally think that our Ukrainian people have already received the first sign of Mary's care. The day after the consecration, March 26th, Russia announced the withdrawal of its troops from three directions: from Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy. And after the crimes of the Russians near Kyiv became known, the Western countries changed their position and began to supply Ukraine with heavy weapons. Who knows, maybe Russia's defeat in this war will be the trigger for its conversion.

We continue to pray on the rosary for our people and for Russia's conversion in order to respond to Mary's request.

5. In addition to the rosary, first Saturday devotion, confession, and communion, can you give spiritual advise how the faithful should prepare spiritually, mentally, and even materially, putting their faith into practical action, for a possible world war?

The best way of course is to prevent a world war. Our Lady said in Fatima that peace will become after conversion of Russia. What can we do to make this happen? We can put such a desire as the intention of our prayers, especially of our rosaries. It is important to make such an intention.

How can you prepare spiritually for war? I'm not sure it's possible to give an exact answer for this question. We can never know in advance what conditions we will find ourselves in when war comes: on the line of fire or in the rear, volunteers or refugees, etc. To participate in a just war means to defend the common good together. It can be defending the Motherland or helping a weaker ally against an unjust aggressor.

I think that "preparing for war" means giving an honest answer to the question: "What benefits can I bring to others in these circumstances and what am I willing to sacrifice for this?" And for this we need to look at how I acted in the past, what motives I was guided by when making decisions on issues of the common good.

I think we need to remind ourselves that the spiritual life of a Catholic is a constant spiritual war. We must overcome enemies such as selfishness, laziness, indifference to God and our neighbors every day. Such trainings are the best preparation; they prepare the ground for God's grace.

We must also always remember that it is our Lord who rules the world. And if Providence allows us a test, the cross, then at the same time sends us a grace that helps to survive it. But in order for God's grace to be effective, we must cooperate with it, that is, we must prepare the soul through the practice of virtues.

God will give courage to a warrior who served faithfully and did not shy away from duty in peacetime. God will help make the best decision for a leader who has always sought the common good of the people, not his own benefit. God will help to become good volunteers only to those people who previously were noticing the needs of others and came to help. God will increase the reparation prayers of those who have practiced them before."

 

If foreign policy were my decision-maker for choosing from among the presidential candidates, I would select JFK Jr even over Trump. The position of USA strength which Trump depended on in setting his foreign policy back in 2016 no longer exists. It has been squandered by the neo-cons the last four years.

Lord have Mercy!

 

Fr. Bogdan's key response for me:

5. In addition to the rosary, first Saturday devotion, confession, and communion, can you give spiritual advise how the faithful should prepare spiritually, mentally, and even materially, putting their faith into practical action, for a possible world war?

My own Prophetic sense of things is that the USA for one reason or other withdraw from NATO. Let's face it NATO is the USA.

This will open the door to Germany and Islamic forces to invade.

Also I believe the USA is in the process of breaking up.

I think when the visionaries in Medugorje say they see Our Ladies signs beginning to come to pass in the World's events these are the kinds of things they are talking about.

 

Heres Col Macgregors latest with Tucker.

Watch at least the first 6 minutes if you can.

I think the colonel’s view has taken a somber note compared to earlier interviews .

He actually predicts a confrontation between NATO and Russia in the near future.

 

I'll tell you what caused Finland and Sweden to move to join NATO. It was the same thing that causes Ireland to forego it's longstanding neutrality. The same thing that causes poor countries to introduce abortion and the gay agenda into their countries and against the wishes of their peoples.
It is pressure from the leaders of the Western elite nations.
How do they do this? By bribery. By threats. And in the case of the 3rd world countries; by withholding IMF loans; by installing puppet leaders, and by other similarly dirty tactics.

You say Putin threw a warlord in jail?! Well, we here in the "free" West throw journalists like Julian Assange in jail for telling the truth!!
Yep, for exposing our leaders and the dirty dealings of these reprobates; journalists telling the truth get jail!
Furthermore, our Western leaders destroy and denigrate all journalists who tell the truth on a myriad of matters. Take for example that poor fella, David Daliden, who blew the lid on Planned Parenthood and their selling baby parts. He got absolutely hammered!

Meanwhile, here in Ireland, they're importing refugees from war torn Ukraine by the 10s of thousands. Only thing is, the vast majority are BLACK (i.e. not from Ukraine ) AND are -- ""FIGHTING AGE MALES!"'
i.e. no families!!!
We are becoming terrified here in Ireland!!

So, let me ask you this (and please, please answer for I need someone to put some logic to these goings-on). 'Do these actions inspire you with faith in our Western governments? And would you believe them when they tell you something?'

To continue, you cite the Budapest Memorandum... well, it is my opinion (and I could be wrong of course) that Russia did not wake up one morning and decide to invade Ukraine. For they clearly - CLEARLY - stated that Ukraine joining NATO would be a redline for them. And it would, they said, require them 'to act' (as they could not have NATO artillery on their very border; no more than America would permit Russian artillery to be posted along say, the Canadian border!).
However, what did the puppet in power in Ukraine do? [Now, remember, he was deliberately installed as president in Ukraine by the West for this purpose!!].
Well of course; he did his job!
He did what he was told to do. The comedian did what he was installed as 'president' to do! He went ahead with the sham of Ukraine wanting to join NATO.
This was done at the behest of the West so as to provoke Russia into acting.
I've alluded to this before, but I'll post it again: imagine Canada aligning militarily with Russia..... What do you think the reaction of the U.S. would be?
As someone said here on the forum in response, we have a historical example of this.
Cuba!
The yanks were going nuclear, such was their outrage!!!
Now, they would indeed be well within their rights to prevent another superpower nonchalantly rocking-up to their border and installing weapons and artillery galore, would they not?!

You say the last 9 years have demonstrated how Russia has been an aggressor. Any map of Europe will clearly show you how NATO has expanded eastwards since the Minsk agreement (whence both the west and the Russians agreed to expand no further east nor west). Since then however only one side has advanced. And it has not been the Russian side. The west has expanded to such a degree that NATO, via Ukraine, has come to the Russian border.
Face it; our Western leaders are bloodthirsty, warmongers hellbent on the continued destruction of nation after nation after nation think Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya etc etc etc.
Similarly, these leaders of ours also promote a culture of death at home through abortion, euthanasia, assisted suicide, transgenderism, etc., And abroad via continued and sustained conflict after conflict after conflict.

The people's of The West will not suddenly wake-up one day and return to God as you hope. Neither will they be permitted to vote-in right-wing, conservative leaders to initiate change (as was demonstrated by Trump's 'defeat' in the last American election - quite clearly stolen from him... As a footnote; it is my belief that the great American people were/are the world's last hope. But with our leaders; they face a monumental battle).
No, the Communists in charge of the once free West, with their propaganda machine firmly enmeshed and installed, will simply not allow another Donald Trump.


The majority of the peoples of the West - having foresaken their God, now simply worship the golden calf and are 'down' with the direction society is taking. And readily distracted by sports and entertainment, by celebrities, by soap operas etc. they swallow the propaganda unquestioningly.

The rest of us wait only on God's Providence to get us out of this mess.

Russian society is no different. But the Russians are not the aggressors here.

In summary, I believe and accept that we here in the West have censorship beyond measure. Most sane people do. We are fed nonsense by the state media outlets that pose as 'news' agents. So it is not unsurprising to see how people can be fooled into posting the drivel you posted here. All the same, it might be worth engaging in a little research - and certainly in a wee bit of reflection before hitting the 'post reply' button.

 

Oh and you say Putin is building a palace with his millions? Well, I don't see Biden's in the poor house. Nor the Clinton's. Nor the Pelosi's. Nor the Blair's. Nor Boris Johnson. Nor Sunak. Nor Macron. None of them....

 

Putin threw his opponent in jail you say... Are not the leaders of the west (which quite obviously are the democrats) trying desperately to throw Donald Trump in jail?

 

Why is the West even involved in this?

I think that is one of the fundamental questions here...

This is Barack Obama's current residence...

 

Excellent description IMO. Russia is no saintly nation. Putin is no saint either. There is a bloody history with both but the West is all things you describe tragically. Especially the destruction of smaller impoverished nations. Exporting baby murder is so heinous. God must help us out of this.

 

Jeffrey Sachs of all people nails it.

He’s a globalist and friends with the current pope which says everything.

Why he’s saying this is beyond me but there it is.

Check out the first 5 minutes if you can.
