Comments

Disintegration brings to the table many causative inputs missed during my second look at history using the corrective lenses provided by the likes of Antony C. Sutton, Quigley, Engdahl, and others.    This book was written after the US-orchestrated Ukrainian putsch in 2014 but before Russia’s SMO, so represents a snapshot of that time (2021) on the condition of America internally and externally.  The trajectory of destruction is well referenced and documented with many footnotes.  Since 2021, this self-inflicted death spin of corruption, incompetence and information manipulation has only gotten worse.   This is not just another depressing book designed to list the many failures of America, this book brings new insight and evidence of the primary causes that put this great country on the path of disintegration.  –ClearNFO

“Martyanov shows that America’s disintegration is irreversible because the ruling elites are an organic part of the calamitous sources of dysfunction that have destroyed the country.”  –PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

“Andrei Martyanov’s third book discussing the collapse of the U.S. Empire looks into the social and economic phenomena which all contribute to that collapse. Disintegration is a multi-level analysis of the crisis which is now so clearly plaguing the USA of 2021.  I consider Disintegration a “must read” for every U.S. patriot who wants his country to overcome its current difficulties and for every person on the planet who wants to avoid a full-scale war between Russia and/or China and the USA.  Indeed, if you want to get a superb summation of what is really going on in the United States—read all of Martyanov’s books.”  –THE VINEYARD SAKER

You can find Andrei’s informative podcasts and interviews on many popular platforms, including Rokfin, BitChute, Rumble, Odysee, YouTube and many more.

On the matter of Orthodoxy

What we have here is a failure to comply!

Many Christians must feel abandoned by their church leaders as these leaders seek to harmonize debased social absurdities with core church principles.  These social transformations include normalizing the killing of a baby in a mother’s womb and promoting  countless sexual aberrations including child sexual mutilation.   These changes are aimed squarely at recasting what was formally the traditional family into a mangled parody of its former self that is isolated, powerless, easily corruptible and controllable.  Unsurprisingly, these destructive ideologies align nicely with social engineering efforts promoted by a philosophy of secular materialism whose endpoint is a single, unifying system of global governance — a scientific dictatorship.  Despite many church leaders’ impulse to comply with these trends, the Christian Orthodox Church has remained remarkedly unchanged for over 2,000 years.  Can Orthodoxy’s consistent and unbroken tradition serve as an effective teacher and a bulwark protecting sacred Christian doctrine against these self-inflicted detours into spiritual bondage and corruption?

Questions and Answers

What is Christian Orthodoxy?

What are the roots of Orthodoxy and what do they believe?

Why have there been so few changes in Christian Orthodoxy for over 2,000 years?

The Symbol of the Faith

Composed at the1st Ecumenical Council at Nicaea in 325,
And completed at the 2nd Ecumenical Council at Constantinople in 381.

THE NICENE CREED:

I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, the only begotten, begotten  of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made; of one essence[1] with the Father; through Whom all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation, He came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried; And the third day He rose again, according to[2] the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father; And He shall come again with glory to judge the living and dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit [3], the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from the Father[4], Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spoke through the prophets.

In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen.

[1] or “consubstantial”
[2] or “in fulfillment of”
[3] At this point the original Creed of Nicaea 325 ended; the remainder was added at the 2nd Ecumenical Council in 381.
[4] Here the Roman Catholics add the Latin word Filioque, which means “and from the son.”

Definition of (lower case) catholic:

adjective
1. broad or wide-ranging in tastes, interests, or the like; having sympathies with all; broad-minded; liberal.

2. universal in extent; involving all; of interest to all. *

*’Know the Faith’ by Rev Michael Shanbour (pg. 37): Unfortunately, the word catholic is usually translated as “universal.” But the Greek word indicates fullness and completeness.  St. Ignatius of Antioch, the first known to use the word, applies it to the local church: “Wherever the bishop appears, the whole congregation is to be present, just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the whole [catholic] Church.”  (Ignatius, Epistle to the Smyrnaeans 7.2, in Apostolic Fathers, p. 113)

Bertrand Russell – Selected Quotes

BERTRAND RUSSELL Red Lion Square, London WC1. 1982 Sculptor Marcelle Quinton.

Bertrand Russell (18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970)

Selected quotes from 1953:

“Gradually, by selective breeding, the congenital differences between rulers and ruled will increase until they become almost different species. A revolt of the plebs would become as unthinkable as an organized insurrection of sheep against the practice of eating mutton.”

Bertrand Russell – The Impact of Science on Society  (January 1, 1953)

“Anaxagoras maintained that snow is black but no one believed him. The social psychologists of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will fay different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. Various results will soon be arrived at: First, that the influence of the home is obstructive; second, not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before age ten; third, that verses set to music and repeatedly intoned are very effective; fourth, that the opinion that snow is white must be held to show a morbid taste for eccentricity. But I anticipate it is for future scientists to make these maxims precise and discover exactly how much it costs per head to make children believe that snow is black and how much less it would cost to make them believe it is dark grey.”

Clash of Cultures: The Collective West (Woke-ism) vs. Russia… by Alexander Dugin

Alexander Dugin

In his Valdai keynote speech on 27 October 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin argued that:

“The direct threat to the political, economic and ideological monopoly of the West is that alternative social models may emerge in the world.”

Or even more starkly and definitively:

“I am convinced that true democracy in a multipolar world presupposes first of all the possibility for any people – I want to emphasise this – any society, any civilisation to choose its own way, its own socio-political system.”

If the United States and the European Union have this right, surely the Asian countries, the Islamic states, the Persian Gulf monarchies and the states of other continents also have it. Of course, our country, Russia, also has this right, and no one can ever impose on our people what kind of society we should build and on what principles.

Today, in Russia, it is only a matter of proposing an alternative social model to liberal democracy and building our own socio-political system. This very constructive step should be the next step in our strategy in the deployment of the acute civilisation war.

The foundation of this social model is necessarily the traditional values, which the President signed into law on 9 November 2022 (Decree No. 809). This is what such a model should be based on.

Here is a list of traditional values that are essentially national in nature today. These are the foundations of a sovereign ideology that is, in a way, obligatory for all Russian citizens.

Let us analyse this crucial code of the new operating system of Russian society in a little more detail. To quote Decree No. 809:

Traditional values include:

  1. life,
  2. dignity,
  3. human rights and freedom,
  4. patriotism, citizenship, service to the homeland and responsibility for its destiny,
  5. high moral ideals
  6. a strong family,
  7. constructive work,
  8. spiritual over material
  9. humanism,
  10. charity,
  11. justice,
  12. collectivism, mutual assistance and respect,
  13. historical memory and intergenerational continuity,
  14. unity of the peoples of Russia.

Destruction of the US Empire

Leave a reply

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | March 10, 2022

Historically, Russia has never liked China. Based on culture and religion Russia is much more compatible with the USA than China.

Seeking individual rights and freedom, in February 1917 Russia abolished its monarchy and installed a provisional government which lasted about 8 months.  During this 8 month period the USA (President Wilson and the head of the NY Federal Reserve) and bankers in Europe hijacked this provisional government using banker-backed and funded Trotsky and Lenin culminating in the October Revolution establishing the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) which became the tyrannical, godless, soul-crushing USSR in 1922 described by Aleksandr Solzhenitzyn in ‘The Gulag Archipelago’.  In 1991 the unworkable, central-planning bureaucracy of Communist USSR fell of its own weight; was dissolved, asset-stripped by Wall Street and  replaced by the Russian Federation which exists to this day.

In 1776 Russia helped Americans win the Revolution and gain independence; in 1917 America helped the Bolsheviks enslave the Russians.

Now, Biden’s puppet-masters have forced Russia into a closer strategic, financial and security alliance with China.  Russians –and Putin– have always wanted to be friends and close allies with Americans, but the Anglo-American Establishment would never allow this. The US has managed to spoil every Russian rapprochement with an endless train of lies, cons and deceptions.  Russia, in its seemingly endless forbearance, has been the West’s willing bride since 1991 only to be raped, slandered and left at the alter time after time — but no more.  Russia has had enough; forced to confront the fact the US can never be trusted and will never be a partner in good faith.

The result of Biden’s push to financially isolate and destroy Russia (which is an act of war), will only hasten the destruction of the US Dollar as the world’s reserve currency.  Other nations are witnessing this financial terrorism and abrogation of responsibility –including India and China– and will thus seek to protect themselves from future reliance on the USD, Western Central Banks, Visa/Mastercard or the SWIFT messaging  system.  China, India and Russia represent a full 37% of the world population and this does not include many other nations watching this overreach closely from sidelines.  This will have a serious long-term impact on American prosperity, reducing our living standards by as much as 40% or more — permanently.

What you are witnessing is the purposeful demolition of the US Empire.

DECLARATION OF MSGR. CARLO MARIA VIGANÒ, ARCHBISHOP, FORMER APOSTOLIC NUNCIO TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ON THE RUSSIA-UKRAINE CRISIS If we look at what is happening in Ukraine, without being misled by the gross falsifications of the mainstream media, we realize that respect for each other’s rights has been completely ignored; indeed, we have the impression that the Biden Administration, NATO and the European Union deliberately want to maintain a situation of obvious imbalance, precisely to make impossible any attempt at a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, provoking the Russian Federation to trigger a conflict. Herein lies the seriousness of the problem. This is the trap set for both Russia and Ukraine, using both of them to enable the Globalist elite to carry out its criminal plan

China Dystopia Psyop Part II (Public Shaming)

China – Public Shaming

In today’s information war, it can be difficult to tell the difference between reality and propaganda — especially concerning matters in the grand game of geopolitics.  This is manifestly true when the propaganda strokes existing beliefs widely held.

Amazingly, many otherwise intelligent, well-educated podcasters, pontificators, commentators and pundits from the alt media confirm their bias when they pick their favorite propaganda spewing from the MSM, and then promote these rumors as fact.  Our friends in the alt media  frequently have little to no knowledge on the particular subject, yet exhibit no restraint in echoing these false stories gathered from the same media they claim to hold in contempt.

If you care to be a bit more discerning, it might pay to seek out a counter narrative based on evidence not speculation.  I present here for your review and edification the following excellent article:  China Dystopia Psyop Part II | How is the sausage made?

More outstanding, insightful evidence-based articles can be found on the Main Page here: Austrian China

Note: You may think this to be a minor detail, but when accumulated over time, these psyops can and have presaged major wars; and at the least, are indicative of larger agendas that may be missed. Another psyop is currently being run against Putin and Ukraine.  Your mind is the battlefield and they are softening you up.

The Narrative is the Message

Leave a reply

by DAVID BROWN | CLEARNFO.com | December 3, 2021

Marshall McLuhan told us in 1964  ‘The Medium is the message’. The medium may be important, but today we are discovering the ‘Narrative is the message’ and the medium is just a much more efficient and effective delivery system for weaponized information bombs dropped non-stop on our non-critical thinkers — which today is most of us.  The power of narrative has been used to convince people across the globe to take a demonstrably dangerous injection that simply does not work:  “He who controls the narrative controls the world”.  The power of narrative and story telling has been thoroughly examined –and proven to my satisfaction– by the late, great educator and researcher Joseph Campbell in his ‘The Power of Myth’ series.

What are some of the narratives the ‘Powers that shouldn’t be’ sell using their influence over  media, experts, captured governments and our WOKE education systems?

  • Man is destroying mother earth (Gaia) by pollution; therefore man is bad ..
  • Man is destroying mother earth (Gaia) by over population; therefore we need to reduce the population ..
  • Man is destroying the climate by carbon emissions; therefore we need to eliminate all fossil fuels and charge a carbon tax ..
  • Man is consuming all the limited resources of mother earth (Gaia); therefore, we must learn to live with less ..
  • Nations are bad because they cause wars, therefore, we must eliminate the notion of the nation-state and replace it with a global governance which can prevent war ..
  • Religions are bad because they are a major source of conflicts and wars; therefore we must replace traditional religions with a new, blended version that is more tolerant and includes mother earth (Gaia) ..
  • White man is particularly bad because his stewardship of the modern world has led to all the bad things listed above; therefore, we must reduce the white race and promote others ..
  • Traditions, social norms and cultures are bad because they stand in the way of changes required to fix these global problems; therefore, we must promote those things which will destroy the family, religion, virtue and wholesomeness ..

Of course these same narratives –and more—have been carefully crafted and then injected into our culture, education systems and media with predetermined endpoints for each; designed to nudge us in a certain direction.  With enough repetition and assurances from trusted authority figures and sophistry, the ‘fact-claims’ above become ‘well-established’ facts indelibly lodged in our collective subconscious.  They become the stories and the myths that are immune to logic;  that can not to be questioned, and thus escape any examination of the assumptions on which they were formed.

I can, and have, refuted to my satisfaction most of these narratives with logic and evidence, but few listen or take the time to understand.  Logic and evidence does not sell. Stories sell.

All these proscribed endpoints or solutions to these narratives are merely the bricks and bars of a mental jail being constructed to create a bleak dystopia for all but the very special few, and  a permanent loss of individual freedom for everyone else.  It is time we start writing our own narratives.

Below are three excellent videos directly addressing the power of these narratives and what we can do to counter this most powerful art of story telling; which, when wielded in the wrong hands will bring about George Orwell’s prediction from Nineteen Eighty-Four:

“If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.”

The first video is from the prolific and fertile mind of  James Corbett who takes on this topic from a secular view; and the second video from the truly Amazing Polly who brings it all home in a much simpler treatment with her amazingly deep, nuanced analysis which provides all of us a happy and prosperous pathway out of this nightmare trap set by those tricksters who would be our masters.  The third video provides fascinating insights into the psychological mechanics of ‘Mass Formation’.   Enjoy.
