La siguente nota es una entrevista de Katherine Frisk publicada recientemente en The International Reporter. En ella se vuelve sobre el tema de la estrategia del Imperio para con Rusia. El entrevistado es el bloguero ruso conocido como "The Saker". Acá va:
Título: Take The
Red Pill Or Fight World War 3. – Interview With The Saker
Prólogo: Only
those with their head in the sand are not aware that NATO, the western allies
and the Wall Street bankers are determined to follow a course that will lead to
World War 3. With Russia in particular and any other country that stands in
their way. In a recent interview Vladimir Putin chided western journalists for
the false narratives that are being published in the Main Stream Media press.
He said:
“We know year by year what’s going to happen,
and they know that we know. It’s only you that they tell tall tales to, and you
buy it, and spread it to the citizens of your countries. You people in turn do
not feel a sense of the impending danger – this is what worries me. How do you
not understand that the world is being pulled in an irreversible direction?
While they pretend that nothing is going on. I don’t know how to get through to
you anymore.”
More recently the
highly respected film director Oliver Stone said:
“We’re going to war — either hybrid in nature
to break the Russian state back to its 1990s subordination, or a hot war (which
will destroy our country). Our citizens should know this, but they don’t
because our media is dumbed down in its “Pravda”-like support for our
“respectable,” highly aggressive government.”
What I would like
to do in this interview is focus on cycles of time, repetitive narratives from
one century to the next that replay over and over again like the film Groundhog
Day. This is in a sense, a Matrix with the myth, the story line passed on from
one generation to the next, and each generation in turn performs the same stage
show. As Shakespeare said, ‘each has their entrances and their exits.”
On the 9th of May
2015, Russia celebrated the Victory over Nazi Germany in World War 2. Saker
wrote the most touching and deeply moving article Something truly amazing
happened today and I quote:
“Defense Minister
Shoigu made the sign of the Cross before the beginning of the celebrations: This is an
absolutely momentous moment for Russia.
Never in the past history had any Russian Minister of Defense done
anything like it. True, the old
tradition was to make the sign of the Cross when passing under the Kremlin’s
Savior Tower, if only because there is an icon of the Savior right over the
gate. However, everybody in Russia
immediately understood that there was much more to this gesture than an
external compliance to an ancient tradition.
The Russian
journalist Victor Baranets puts it very well when he wrote:
”At that moment I felt that with his simple gesture Shoigu brought all of Russia to his feet. There was so much kindness, so much hope, so much of our Russian sense of the sacred [in this gesture]“.
He is absolutely correct. To see this Tuvan Buddhist make the sign of the Cross in the Orthodox manner sent an electric shock through the Russian blogosphere: everybody felt that something amazing had happened.”
”At that moment I felt that with his simple gesture Shoigu brought all of Russia to his feet. There was so much kindness, so much hope, so much of our Russian sense of the sacred [in this gesture]“.
He is absolutely correct. To see this Tuvan Buddhist make the sign of the Cross in the Orthodox manner sent an electric shock through the Russian blogosphere: everybody felt that something amazing had happened.”
Saker also pointed out: “For centuries
Russian soldiers have knelt and asked for God’s blessing, before going into
battle and this is, I believe, what Shoigu did today. He knows that 2015 will be the year of the
big war between Russia and the Empire (even if, due to the presence of nuclear
weapons on both sides, this war will remain 80% informational, 15% economic and
5% military)”
Entrevista: So
let’s go back to World War 2. Almost 30 million Russians died during that war.
That is almost half of the total number of people killed on both sides,
military and civilian from 1939 to 1945. A horrific figure that is not often
quoted in western media or history books.
Question: What parallels do you see between Russia in 2016 and over 70 years ago?
Saker: The most
disturbing and frightening parallel which I see between, say, 1938 and 2016 is
the total arrogance and sense of superiority of the leaders of the Western
world. I know that this will sound crazy
to many because Russians and Europeans are supposed to be of the same “race”,
but my entire life experience has brought me to the conclusion that many, maybe
most, westerners are deeply racist towards Russians, even if it is at an
unconscious level.
Most westerners
are deeply convinced that western civilization is the pinnacle of mankind and
that while others have their good and even interesting features, westerners are
still the most sophisticated, developed, evolved, refined, skilled, etc. and
that those who do not belong to that so-called “western civilization” are inherently
inferior, even if exotic or even charming.
Now think of
Russia which was born from a rejection of the West (rejection of the Papacy in
favor the the traditional Christianity of the early Church) and which then beat
back wave after wave after wave of western invaders, be it military, or
cultural or political. This adds to the
element of fear and the already existing racism and results in a deep seated
phobia of everything truly Russian.
There is only one
type of Russia which the West likes: a weak, subjugated, bleeding, disorganized
and poor Russia to which the western Herrenvolk
can send humanitarian aid, advisors and other “bearers of civilization”
(just like Hitler’s Kulturträgers) to
the eastern masses of Untermenschen.
You think that I
am exaggerating? Look at the way the
American leaders are trying to treat Russia: like some kind of bad boy who did
wrong and who must now face the consequences of his bad behavior. The fact that all that grandstanding and
lecturing has zero effect on the Kremlin or the Russian people does not seem to
dissuade the Empire’s rulers who now sound like a broken record. But this goes far beyond just leaders. There
is a cultural, moral and even technological assumption of Russian inferiority
which permeates the entire political discourse in the West. This is why when a US built Boeing or a
European built Airbus crashes the media speaks of a Boeing or Airbus crash. But
when a Russian aircraft crashes, it is always a Russian built Antonov or
Russian built Ilyushin which crashes, as if that explained anything.
This is one of
the reasons why the folks in the West simply cannot wrap their minds around the
current day reality that the Russian armed forces are substantially superior
and generally more capable than their western counterparts. Right now, not only does Russia have better
submarines, better tanks, better aircraft, better air defense system, better
electronic warfare, better artillery, better tactical missiles, etc but also a
far better infantryman. True, the Russians are behind in other fields (surface
ships, communications, satellite technology, etc.) and the superior Russian
systems are only being introduced now and are still few in numbers, but they
are more than enough to make it impossible for the US/NATO/EU to militarily
“defeat” Russia in any conceivable conflict.
So what I see is
this: the West is on a collision course with Russia and yet nobody seems to
discuss this and when they do, they express all the confident optimism of a
drunken idiot who wants to take on a Grizzly bear in a fist fight: the bear
might not show any reaction until the drunken idiot jumps over the fence, but
once he enters the bear’s territory his life expectancy will be measured in
seconds.
An infinite
arrogance which completely blinds the western leaders to the immense risks of
their policies is what I see in common between 1938 and 2016. And I find that very, very frightening. There is also a major difference: in 1938
Russia was not ready for war and the regime in power did not enjoy anywhere
near the 80%+ Putin enjoys today. But
today Russia is ready for war, it seems that at least 80% of the talkshows are
about the confrontation with the West and the risks of war, while the military
is almost constantly involved in very large scale strategic exercises preparing
for major war.
On all levels,
the Russian society is being prepared for war while in the West, nobody seems
to be paying any attention to this (other than absolutely imbecile talks about
a Russian invasion of Latvia or Estonia…).
There is also a consensus in Russia that if Hillary gets into the White
House the chance of a real war will sharply go up. I agree with that assessment.
_______________________________________
Katherine: 2017
will be the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. What most people are
unaware of, is that the same Wall Street bankers who funded the 2014 Ukrainian
coup and funded Hitler in World War 2, even though the USA was supposedly on
the side of the Allies, were the same group of people who funded Lenin, Trotsky
and the Bolsheviks. To quote from The Creature From Jekyell Island:
The
cartoon “..portrays Karl Marx with a book entitled Socialism under his arm,
standing amid a cheering crowd on Wall Street. Gathered around and greeting him
with enthusiastic handshakes are characters in silk hats identified as John D.
Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, John D. Ryan of National City Bank, Morgan partner
George W. Perkins and Teddy Roosevelt, leader of the Progressive Party.
What emerges from
this sampling of events is a clear pattern of strong support for Bolshevism
coming from the highest financial and political power centers in the United
States; from men, who supposedly were “capitalists” and who according to conventional
wisdom should have been the mortal enemies of socialism and communism.”
I have heard from
other sources that somewhere around 100 million people died under the
Bolsheviks between 1917 and 1939, or is that an exaggeration?
Question: Why did
the USA, a country that supposedly believes in freedom and democracy, support
communism in Russia? Their
anti-communist stance was after all, the raison d’être for funding wars, coups
and revolutions to overthrow communist inclined governments in South America,
Africa, Europe and other countries around the world through overt and covert
CIA and Operation Gladio involvement for the next 100 years, and replace them
with fascist military dictatorships. (A few examples Brazil – Branco; Chile-
Pinochett; Argentina- Videla; Indonesia- Suharto; Congo- Sese Seko; Greece’s –
“reign of the colonels”; Zimbabwe-Mugabe;) What political and economic
parallels do you see from 100 years ago that are applicable today?
Saker: First, the issue
of the real number of victims of the Communist regime in Russia is an extremely
contentious one. Those interested could
look at this article where I touched upon this issue. I think that the 100 million people figure is
absolutely ridiculous, that is for sure.
The real figures are much much less than that, but they are still
horrible and should not be dismissed either.
Frankly, this is an issue for historians to decide and I don’t find it
helpful to insist on a specific figure.
What we can say for sure is that the victims of the Bolshevik regime
were counted in the millions, that is for sure.
This “in the millions” is both safe enough and vague enough to be useful
for discussion purposes, especially when covering the entire period from 1917
to 1991.
Second, US Jewish
bankers did finance and support Trotsky just as the British supported
Lenin. The former did that as an act of
revenge against and hatred for Russia due to what they perceived as the
anti-Jewish policies of the Russian Czars.
The latter wanted to subvert Russia from the inside to weaken her on the
outside. This is pretty straightforward.
The concepts of
“Freedom and Democracy” versus “Communism” were always just facades, a facade
to make the US imperialism look noble and a facade to justify interventions
worldwide.
What is taking
place today is not very different: we do have an imperial financial system
which seeks to subvert Russia from the inside to make her weak on the
international stage. We also have US
Jews, now rebranded as “Neocons”, pursuing a hate-based racist crusade against
Russia as an act of revenge for what they perceive was the anti-Jewish policies
of the Soviet Union, especially under Stalin.
Those interested can read about this here: http://thesaker.is/how-a-medieval-concept-of-ethnicity-makes-nato-commit-yet-another-a-dangerous-blunder.
So just as we had
an AngloZionist conspiracy against Russia 100 years ago we have a different
variant of the same AngloZionist conspiracy today. What changed most over the past century is
the rest of the planet, especially the emergence of China and the general collapse
of the EU.
__________________________________
Katherine: Now
let’s go back to over 200 years ago. The
Patriotic War of 1812 when Napoleon invaded Russia. He had as allies the
Duchy of Warsaw, Kingdom of Italy, Naples, Confederation of the Rhine, Baden,
Bavaria, Berg, Saxony, Westphalia, Austria, Prussia, Swiss Confederation,
Napoleonic Spain, Denmark–Norway.
That was a
formidable united front against one country. The line up looks very similar to
the current European Union and the NATO allies today.
Question: Who
funded this army and why? And what parallels do you see 100 years later with
World War 1 ,the Bolshevik Revolution, World War 2 and the current tinder box
that Russia and Europe find themselves in 2016?
Saker: You are right,
this all looks very similar doesn’t it?
I would just toss in the Crimea war, which I like to call the “Grand
Ecumenist War” against Russia in which you had secular Freemasons, Papists,
Protestants and Ottoman Muslims all united against Orthodox Russia.
The main reason
for the regular re-emergence of anti-Russian coalition is the mistaken belief
in the West that there is safety in numbers.
The Russians know the exact opposite: in military terms, coalitions
suck. Badly. The western leaders are fundamentally cowards
who rule over people who have long lost the warrior-culture which is so central
to any society which can stand up and defend itself, even against a superior
enemy. The people in the West have come to believe that high-tech wins wars and
they have forgotten that what wins wars is not high tech, but willpower and the
help of God. Those interested in this
topic can read this article.
The main
advantage the US had over, for example, the Iraqis was the fact that they
succeeded in convincing Iraqi of the futility of resisting the almighty
USA. But with nations and cultures like
Russia, Iran, Hezbollah or even Vietnam, the USA is faced with an enemy who is
not at all convinced of the US superiority and who is willing, sincerely and
truly willing, to die for his country and people. That is something which the US military has
never learned how to cope with.
And then,
consider this: during WWI Russia imploded due to the combined effects of the
February and October revolutions. During
WWII, the Soviet regime was largely unpopular and much of the ruling elites
were themselves russophobic (this would change during the course of the war).
But today Russia
is united. And ready in military and
civilians terms. Even Russian banks have
recently completed a series of exercises on how to continue to function in case
of war. Will the West try again, one
last time or will cool heads prevail in the West? I don’t know.

Katherine: Now
let’s go back to almost 1,000 years ago. I first interviewed Saker in July
2015. Orthodox Christianity is by and large not understood in the West, least
of all by me at the time, though I am learning. Saker enlightened both my
readers and myself in An Insight Into
Orthodox Christianity (https://theinternationalreporter.org/2015/07/01/an-insight-into-orthodox-christianity-interview-with-the-saker/).
Another very
informative article that he wrote was : Another Crusade? : Ukrainian
nationalism – its roots and nature (https://theinternationalreporter.org/2015/06/22/another-crusade-ukrainian-nationalism-its-roots-and-nature-2), in February 2014 during the coup in Kiev and
the beginnings of the outbreak in the civil war between western Ukraine and
eastern Ukraine. In that article he went back to 1204, Pope Innocent III, the
fourth crusade and the sacking of Constantinople by mercenaries who were funded
by the Jewish Del Banco bankers in Venice. He said:
“Most people
mistakenly believe that the Crusades only happened in the Middle-East and that
they were only directed at Islam. This
is false. In fact, while the official
excuse for western imperialism at that time was to free the city of Jerusalem
from the “Muslim infidels” the crusades also were aimed at either exterminating
or converting the “Greek schismatics” i.e. the Orthodox Christians. The most notorious episode of this
anti-Orthodox crusade is the sack of Constantinople by the Crusaders in 1204,
during the 4th Crusade, in which the city was subjected to three days of
absolutely grotesque pillaging, looting and massacres by the western
“Christians” who even looted and burned down Orthodox churches, monasteries and
convents, raped nuns on church altars and even placed a prostitute on the
Patriarchal throne. This outpouring of
genocidal hatred was hardly a fluke, but it was one of the earliest
manifestation of something which would become a central feature of the mindset
and ideology of the Latin Church.
1242 – The
Northern Crusades of Pope Gregory IX:
Unlike his
predecessor who directed his soldiers towards the Holy Land, Pope Gregory IX
had a very different idea: he wanted to convert the “pagans” of the North and
East of Europe to the “true faith”. In
his mind, Orthodox Russia was part of these “pagan lands” and Orthodox Christians
were pagans too. His order to the
Teutonic Knights (the spiritual successors of the Franks who had pillaged and
destroyed Rome) was to either convert or kill all the pagans they would meet
(this genocidal order was very similar to the one given by Ante Pavelic to his
own forces against the Serbs during WWII: convert, kill or expel). In most history books Pope Gregory IX has
earned himself a name by instituting the Papal Inquisition (which has never
been abolished, by the way), so it is of no surprise that this gentleman was in
no mood to show any mercy to the “Greek schismatics”. This time, however, the Pope’s hordes were
met by a formidable defender: Prince Alexander Nevsky.”
Today what was
the Byzantine Empire and Orthodox Christian Russia is currently under attack by
Daesh, or commonly known as ISIS. Syria has some of the oldest Orthodox
Christian communities in the world going back to the 1st century A.D. who still
speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus. Russia in turn, since September 2015, has
given President Assad full military support in fighting these terrorists.
Question: What
parallels do you see almost 1000 years ago, including the vast tapestry of The
Patriot War of 1812, World War 1 ,the Bolshevik Revolution, World War 2 and the
current situation that could very well lead the whole world into World War 3?
Saker: The West has
always been more than happy to try to use Islam against Russia, there is
nothing new here. This is the old divide
and rule technique – the Russians and the Muslims fight each other down to the
last Russian and Muslim and then we, the western 1%er will finally get to rule
the world unopposed.
In a way, Islam
and Russia present a very similar type of threat not only to the West’s
international and financial order, but also to the western social, political
and moral order too. Both Russia and
Islam present an alternative civilizational model, one which is based on values
fundamentally different to the ones truly underlying the western political
order.
I would argue
that China and Latin America also have this potential, that they are developing
it right now, but that they have not yet reached the “political escape
velocity” to openly dare reject the West with it’s so-called ‘values’.
This is why pitting
Muslims against Russia and vice-versa is so important for the Empire. I would say that to some degree, this has
been an effective policy with the Srebrenica pseudo-genocide as a cornerstone,
but this policy is now hitting a number of walls.
The first one is
that the Muslim world is extremely diverse and hard to unite. Next to Wahabi liver-eaters you will find a
myriad of other non-Wahabi Sunnis, Shia, Sufis who all reject the Wahabi model
and for whom the Wahabi model is, in fact, no less a mortal threat than for
non-Muslims.
Second, people
like Vladimir Putin, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Nursultan Nazarbaev, Ramzan
Kadyrov, Hassan Nasrallah, Bashar Assad and many others are seeing through the
Empire’s ploy and are refusing to be baited by it. Historically, the Ottomans have always been a
rabid and even genocidal enemy of Orthodoxy, and the modern Saudi-inspired
Wahabis are no better, but the rest of the Islamic world is objectively an ally
of Russia just as Russia is an objective ally of the Islamic world.
Both sides here
need to “clean house”: the Russians need to free themselves from the toxic
influence of the pro-US Atlantic Integrationists inside the Kremlin and
“liberal” supporters in Russia (less than 5% of the population) and the Sunni
Muslims need to sever their often too cozy ties with both the Wahabis and the
Ottomans.
This process has
already begun in Russia and I have high hopes that it will also take place
inside the Muslim world.
____________________________________________
Katherine: Last
question. Do you think Europe and Russia will ever reach the stage where they
abandon the script, take the red pill, escape the matrix and walk away from
this repetitive groundhog dog narrative that has been so destructive to so many
people for over 1,000 years?
Saker: Yes,
of course this is possible, even likely, but only in the future. For that to happen the Europeans need to
liberate themselves from the ideological claws of the AngloZionists and their
propaganda machine.
Second, the
Europeans need to give up their artificial European identify and see themselves
for what they really are: north Europeans, Central Europeans, Eastern Europeans
and Mediterranean Europeans. The Mediterranean one, is one which is especially
dear to me and it immensely saddens me that it is now diluted into this
ridiculous and faceless “EU European” pseudo-identity.
Furthermore, a
new European identify, far more diverse and religious than today, will
eventually have to emerge from the chaos following the collapse of the EU. At this point in time, the Europeans might
possibly re-embrace their racist and imperialist worldview, but I doubt
it. I find it much more likely that
Europe will give up its dreams of grandeur and embrace a much more low-key but
human worldview which will accept diversity and pluralism without feeling
threatened.
Last, but most
definitely not least, the entire capitalist economic model and ideology will
have to be replaced with a sustainable and socially civilized economic
model. This will take time, a lot of
time, but I don’t see Europe, or the US, for that matter, sustaining their
current delusional policies forever and ever.
Eventually
reality, in the form of a Russian missile or simply of massive economic
collapse, does catch up to everybody, no matter how deep their delusions.
In truth, in its
1000 years long history (yes, modern Europe was born in the Middle-Ages, not
from the Roman or Greek civilizations) the Western civilization has shown
itself to be both magnificent and abhorrent.
It is sometimes hard to believe that J.S. Bach and Adolf Hitler were
born of the same civilization, but it is true.
The peoples of
Europe will have to find their way, a new way, from these contradictions and
this will be hard, but the good news is that if they give up their messianic
delusions they will have the rest of mankind as an ally and a friend.
