Christian Faith and Morality?

opposition to the new ideological order dominated by the West [and

Christianophobia.... He defends national sovereignty, family and the Orthodox

He kept America out of war in Syria and Iran. Putin is aggressively combating

Putin has long been a supporter
of Christianity and Christian values within Russia. He has called for the
Church to play a larger role in citizens’ social lives, better religion classes
in schools, and television programs emphasizing religious values.
— From an article entitled
“Vladimir Putin Vows to Defend Christianity Worldwide,” in the Christian Post
The world has indeed been turned
upside down. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, a career apparatchik in the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union and a loyal agent of the Soviet secret
police, the KGB (and head of its successor, the FSB), now not only proclaims
himself to be a Christian, but has donned the mantle of global protector of
Christianity and morality — to the rejoicing huzzahs of many Christians and
conservatives in the West.
However, before bestowing Defender
of the Faith accolades on Vladimir the Pious, we would do well to look
carefully behind and beneath the highly contrived Christian [HOW IS IT HIGHLY CONTRIVED? – DON] image being spun by the Kremlin’s
public relations department and gullible Christians with short memories in the
West.
Sadly, the quotations noted are
not unique, nor restricted to wild outliers.
Former GOP presidential candidate
and author/commentator Patrick J. “Pat” Buchanan is a paleoconservative [The word paleoconservative was
coined to distinguish traditional conservatives from Neoconservatives, which
are similar to RINOs except that they are war hawks. The use of this word
pejoratively by the author is a dead giveaway that he himself is a
Neoconservative, which I described here http://laiglesforum.com/our-
The Buchanan column just quoted is
entitled “Whose Side Is God on Now?,” not too subtly implying that Putin and
his Kremlin comrades are now Heaven’s standard bearers against the decadent,
post-Christian West.
Well, it is true, is it not, that
President Vladimir Putin stands virtually alone among national leaders of the
major powers in publicly proclaiming his Christian identity, and in condemning
homosexual “marriage” — while leaders of the so-called Christian West have
adopted the politically correct line that these unnatural unions are now
sacrosanct? And is it not true that Putin and the Russian government have been
spending hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild hundreds of Russian
Orthodox churches destroyed during the militant atheism of the Soviet era? Has
he not restored sacred holidays of the Julian Christian calendar? Did he not
sign a national law last year outlawing advertisements for abortion? To which
we must answer: yes, yes, yes, yes; true, true, true, true.
Additional “facts” can be cited to
paint an even more striking image of Putin as pious champion of Christianity:
crossing himself and kissing the icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary that he
presented to Pope Francis during his 2013 visit to the Vatican; numerous
appearances with (and blessings and endorsements from) Patriarch Kirill of the
Russian Orthodox Church and other Christian church leaders; signing into law a
“ban on the propaganda of homosexuality and pedophilia” directed at children,
while President Obama promotes the LBGT agenda at every level and every
opportunity; speaking out against the persecution and murder of Christians by
Islamic jihadists in Syria and Iraq.
All of this has led Catholic
author/blogger Stephen K. Ryan to write glowingly of “born-again Christian”
Putin:
Is Russian leadership more
Christian than leadership in the US? Is the Russian Government more Christian
than George Bush or Obama ever imagined the US might be? The answer to both
questions is Yes, and thanks to born-again Christians, Dmitry Medvedev and
Vladimir Putin, Christian influence in matters of state is rapidly on the rise
in Russia. Let’s look at the facts.
All the Facts, Please [these are all facts from the past which are of limited value in
describing the present and future, as I showed in the above-linked article—Don]
Yes, let’s look at the facts; all
of the facts — and in context. First and foremost, in any review of the basics
regarding Putin, the most outstanding fact is that he is a creature of the
Soviet KGB, a truly diabolical organization nonpareil, which stood for murder,
terror, and grand deception [Putin was assigned to East Germany and was not involved in these
traditional acts of persecution of Russians—Don]. It was the Soviet Communist
Party’s tool for the brutal suppression of religion, including the persecution
of Christians: denying them jobs and education; spying on and entrapping them;
arresting and imprisoning them; torturing them in unspeakable ways; desecrating
and demolishing their church buildings; infiltrating their agents into churches
to subvert them. The KGB destroyed thousands of Christian churches,
monasteries, convents, and schools, and slaughtered millions of Christians.
But it did not destroy the
churches utterly. There remained an underground church, whose members were
always at risk of discovery, arrest, torture, and martyrdom. Above ground, the
KGB took control of the Russian Orthodox Church, which became a very useful
organ of the Soviet atheist state.
[While this author suggests there will be a return to the Soviet era
persecution, the Russian people – on whose good will Putin’s power depends --
know that there will be no return to the atheistic government of the past. Even
high ranking officials knew this was anti-Russian. The stress today is on being
a good Russian, and that means restoration of Orthodoxy. All of this
description of the past is therefore irrelevant—Don]
In January 2009, Vladimir
Mikhailovich Gundyaev, better known as Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and
Kaliningrad, was elected, from a short list of three candidates, to be the 16th
Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, the highest position of authority in the
Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). The election was called to fill the post that
had been left vacant by the death of Patriarch Alexy II, who had headed the ROC
since 1990. Documents from the KGB archives have confirmed what sensible
observers had long ago deduced from his actions: that Patriarch Alexy II (also
spelled Alexi or Alexei) was a long-serving KGB agent (code-named Drozdov, “Blackbird”),
in other words, a traitor to his Christian brethren and the God he claimed to
serve. Putin’s KGB/FSB was taking no chances with his replacement. All three
candidates — Metropolitan Kliment of Kaluga and Borovsk (code-named Topaz),
Metropolitan Filaret of Minsk and Slutsk (code-named Ostrovskii), and
Metropolitan Kirill (code-named Mikhailov) — also have been reliably identified
as agents of the KGB/FSB. [Even if all of this is true, there is no danger that the church of
today will revert to the unpopular behavior of the past. Assuming it is true,
the Putin has chosen Kirill because he trusts him, and for no other reason—Don]
Russia expert David Satter, a
former Moscow correspondent for the Financial Times (of
London) and the Wall Street Journal, wrote of the
election in 2009 for Forbes:
According to material from the
Soviet archives, Kirill was a KGB agent (as was Alexei). This means he was more
than just an informer, of whom there were millions in the Soviet Union. He was
an active officer of the organization. Neither Kirill nor Alexei ever
acknowledged or apologized for their ties with the security agencies. [Bush the Elder was also the head of
the CIA, the top spy, in an era when that agency was clandestinely killing
innocent people all over the world and training Osama bin Laden and the
Taliban, to name but a few indiscretions. But the difference is that Putin
opposes the New World Order and promotes his country and his people. US foreign
service agencies do just the opposite, serving only the elitists--Don]
Because Patriarch Kirill is of
central importance to the myth of Putin as the Saul-to-Paul, Christian
persecutor-to-Christian champion, it behooves us to more closely examine the
man. He has publicly presided over, and provided official benedictions and
exhortations for, Putin’s cynical and Stalinesque exploitation of Russian
nationalism and Russian Orthodoxy. Josef Stalin, who had very nearly
consummated the annihilation of the Russian Orthodox Church begun by Vladimir
Lenin, reversed course in 1941. The reason? His erstwhile partner in crime,
Adolf Hitler, had turned on him and had invaded Russia. Stalin, needing all the
help he could get, cut a deal with ROC Metropolitans Sergius, Nikolay, and
Alexy. In exchange for their support in rallying the Russian people, he would
cease (temporarily) the persecution and allow the reopening of churches and
theological schools. In fact, Stalin’s Soviet government paid for the
rebuilding of many of the churches. The ROC was thus placed even more firmly
under the control of the NKVD, which was later to be reorganized and renamed as
the KGB.
[There is no serious Russia analyst today who believes the Soviet
Union and the old persecution are coming back. There is no evidence today of
such a thing. This is because Putin’s power depends completely on the Russian
people and they are looking for a way to re-establish pre-revolution
traditions. The Kremlin has undergone cataclysmic changes in the past – such as
the de-Stalinization under Krushchev -- and will continue to undergo further
metamorphoses in the future. No one can come even close to predict the Russian future
based on the past—Don Hank]
Metropolitan Sergius had shown his
true colors as far back as 1927, with his illegal proclamation that the church
would be absolutely loyal to the communist government of the Soviet Union.
Stalin rewarded Sergius by having him enthroned as Patriarch of Moscow in 1943.
Ever since, the Russian Orthodox
Church has been the handmaiden and enabler of Soviet and post-Soviet regimes
that rule the Kremlin. Following Sergius’ example, his successors likewise
flourished by pacifying dissent at home and providing propaganda to the outside
world to discredit reports exposing the true nature of the religious
persecution and subversion going on in the Soviet Union. However, the
cooperation of the church hierarchy notwithstanding, persecution of true
believers returned with a new vengeance under the successive reigns of
Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Chernenko, and Andropov. [One of my informants for years has been a gentleman who teaches in
Siberia. He is a Christian and has nothing but favorable reports on Christianity
in Russia—Don]
Kirill, though, did not have to
worry about feeling the sting of persecution; he was in tight with the
persecutors and on the fast track to privilege and power! In 1969, at the age
of 22, he was tonsured by Metropolitan Nikodim, one of the ROC’s most notorious
KGB agents (code-named Adamant). The following year Nikodim appointed Kirill as
his personal secretary and began boosting him through the ROC ranks:
archimandrite, bishop, archbishop, metropolitan. One of Kirill’s most important
services to the ROC/KGB was to provide a public face for the Soviet Union at
the conferences of the World Council of Churches. Kirill, in fact, became a top
official in the WCC, being elected to the central and executive committees of
the WCC in 1975.
Such service has its earthly
rewards; while the Christian brothers and sisters he betrayed were tortured and
killed, or rotted away in the infamous Gulag Archipelago and psychiatric
prisons, Kirill (a.k.a. Agent Mikhailov) enjoyed the high life of the Communist
Party’s elite “nomenklatura.” David Satter writes:
In 1995, the Nikolo-Ugreshky
Monastery, which is directly subordinated to the patriarchate, earned $350
million from the sale of alcohol. The patriarchate’s department of foreign
church relations, which Kirill ran, earned $75 million from the sale of
tobacco. But the patriarchate reported an annual budget in 1995-1996 of only $2
million. Kirill’s personal wealth was estimated by the Moscow News in 2006 to be $4 billion.
Such is the moral pedigree of
“Patriarch” Kirill, the man who serves as Putin’s “spiritual advisor” and
public photo-op prop. And we have barely touched on the full extent of Agent
Mikhailov’s ill-famed record. Is this the man who will spiritually guide the
new champion of a Christian world order? Many naïve Christians and
conservatives apparently think so.
[Excuse me, but not many Russia observers are using terms like “Christian
world order” and few want a theocracy anywhere. Anyone looking for a theocracy
is not following Christ’s teachings. This is not who we are. The Russian vision
is a free state like the US used to be before our government actively sought to
destroy Christianity. – Don]
In his current ruse as Defender of
the Faith, Putin is not only channeling Stalin, but also Lenin, that original
Bolshevik persecutor of the church. Lenin was the supreme pragmatist, happily
willing to use “whatever works,” and constantly at odds with rigid communist
“purists” who failed to grasp the necessity of operational flexibility in the
pursuit of the final objective. Thus, he was willing (temporarily), in the
early 1920s to abandon “war communism” and adopt a faux market capitalism (his
New Economic Policy) to attract foreign capital and stimulate the Soviet
economy. Likewise, prior to taking control in Russia, he instructed fellow
revolutionaries to conceal their atheist fervor, in order to win the Christian
support necessary for their communist venture.
In his 1905 work, Socialism and Religion, Lenin wrote:
It would be stupid to think that,
in a society based on the endless oppression and coarsening of the worker
masses, religious prejudices could be dispelled by purely propaganda
methods.... That is the reason why we do not and should not set forth our
atheism in our Programme; that is why we do not and should not prohibit
proletarians who still retain vestiges of their old prejudices from associating
themselves with our Party.
[There is no evidence of this duplicity in Russia, which has now
opened itself too much to the West to ever succeed in unveiling anything
remotely resembling a new Soviet Union. This author almost certainly knows
little of the BRICS, the Eurasian Economic Union, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization,
the New Silk Route, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and a host of other enterprises, all of
which require close cooperation with capitalist countries as well as
maintaining their trust. These vital economic organizations would all collapse
if the cooperating countries caught a whiff of Soviet style repression on the
part of the Russian authorities. The Russian economy would also collapse as a
result. That is the last thing Putin wants. He must play it straight, like it
or not – Don]
Once he had consolidated
sufficient power, Lenin set loose the Cheka (later to become the NKVD, then
renamed as the KGB, then the FSB) to smite the religious allies who had
unwittingly helped the closet atheists to take control. Putin, a lifelong
Marxist-Leninist, as well as a professional Chekist, is merely recycling the
lessons learned from the playbooks of Lenin and Stalin. None of Putin’s
“reforms” is irreversible and his Potemkin Christianity is just that, a façade,
a velvet glove that hides the iron fist of his KGB/FSB gangster state that
rules the Kremlin.
[Again, in Russia, the past is no predictor of the future or
indicator of the present]
By Their Fruits
Our space limitations here will
not allow even a partial cataloging of Putin’s many criminal actions that
eclipse his much-publicized Christian statements and moral posturing. Here are
just a few items that seem to have slipped down the memory hole for those who
now see him as some kind of new global moral leader:
• Assuming and exercising
dictatorial powers throughout Russia, unprecedented since Stalin’s time. [Where is the evidence of this?
Putin lost a bid for the presidency at one point. The people did not elect him.
In Soviet days, elections were not important. – Don]
• Appointing more KGB/FSB agents
to government positions than at any previous time in Soviet or Russian
Federation history. As reported by the BBC and other news agencies, studies
show that 80 percent or more of Putin’s political appointees and administrators
come from the security/intelligence agencies. [How would these Western news agencies know more about the Kremlin
than the Russians?]
• Murdering Russian citizens
through a number of FSB-run “Chechen terrorist attacks” in order to whip up
public support for invading Chechnya. These crimes have been well documented
in, for instance, Darkness at Dawn: The Rise of the Russian
Criminal State by David Satter, former Russian correspondent
for the Financial Times of London and now a senior fellow
at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University; Blowing Up Russia: The Secret Plot to Bring Back KGB Terror by
FSB defector Alexander Litvinenko; The Assassination of Russia,
a documentary film by Jean-Charles Deniau; The Litvinenko File by
BBC reporter Martin Sixsmith; Disbelief, a
documentary film by Andrei Nekrasov; and The Moscow Bombings of
September 1999: Examinations of Russian Terrorist Attacks at the Onset of
Vladimir Putin’s Rule by Hoover Institution Senior Fellow John
Dunlop. [The
supposed ordering of Litvinienko’s murder by Putin has now been debunked. The
person who said that Litvinienko blamed Putin on his deathbed as admitted this
did not happen. Putin had nothing to gain from murdering a man already living
in exile – Don]
• Invading, bombing, and occupying
Chechnya, including destroying much of the country and wantonly killing many
civilians, including women and children. Independent estimates of the number of
civilian casualties in Chechnya range from 25,000 to 200,000. [Chechnya has a Muslim majority and
Muslim terrorists – reportedly CIA trained -- were murdering and harassing
ethnic Russians who had lived there for decades. The tactics used were brutal
but this harassment finally stopped. What would you do if Muslims gangs took
over your town or even your whole state? Beg them for mercy? Don]
• Restoring a bust of Lenin’s
first Cheka chief, Felix Dzerzhinsky (who proclaimed, “We stand for organized
terror”) to a place of honor at the notorious KGB Lubyanka headquarters, and
attempting to restore a giant statue of Dzerzhinsky to its former place of
honor in Moscow’s Lubyanka Square. [I don’t like this but it is all done for political reasons.After
all, the Russians remember these people as war heroes. Can you imagine the US
government destroying a monument to Andy Jackson because he killed a lot of
innocent native Americans? It might be the right thing to do, but Americans
would be up in arms – Don]
• Murdering Russian journalists,
whistleblowers, and dissidents who are brave enough to challenge his corrupt
dictatorship. Famous investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya is the most
well-known example, but Reporters Without Borders and the Committee to Protect
Journalists cite dozens of additional cases and have named Putin one of the
world’s top “predators” of journalists. The 2006 poison murder of FSB defector
Alexander Litvinenko in Britain is well known [There is controversy around this death but Russophobes gleefully point
to it as a fait accompli – Don], but less known are the cases of General Trofimov, Movladi Baysarov,
opposition Duma Deputy Galina Starovoitova, co-chairman of the Liberal Russia
political party Sergei Yushenkov, Kovalev Commission member Yuri
Shchekochikhin, human rights attorney Stanslav Markelov, human rights activist
Natalia Estemirova — and many others. [And yet, almost the entire banking community is conducting low key
opposition to Putin’s policies, incl the plan to create a Russian SWIFT system
for the eventuality that the US decides to cut Russian banks off of the Western
financing system completely. The US has really hurt the Russian people to
punish Putin for the Crimean referendum and yet, the Scots held a referendum to
secede in the same way and no Western leader held it against them. Washington
truly has a double standard and condemns Russia for doing what others do with
impunity. The banking community has a moral right to protect Russians from
being victims or financial terrorism but are not cooperating. This is very
serious. Yet Putin is not murdering bankers. – Don]
• Expanding the “soft persecution”
of Christian churches and organizations that are outside of the rigid state
control exercised within the Russian Orthodox Church. [Example? The only thing Russia may
be doing is trying to defend against CIA agents masquerading as missionaries or
members of NGOs. This has happened in the past. These agents – now more likely
to work for the State Department than the CIA -- are there only to cause
uprisings. – Don]
Concerning the last point above,
organizations such as the Keston Institute of Oxford, England; International
Christian Concern; and others have documented that Russia’s Ministry of Justice
has been using the pretext of “looking for religious extremism” to carry out
illegal inspections, harassment, and suppression of Baptist, Roman Catholic,
Pentecostal, Adventist, Latter Day Saints, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and independent
churches and Christian organizations. Churches other than the ROC find it
difficult to get visas for priests and ministers to come to Russia, or to get
permission to have meetings for Bible studies, prayer groups, and worship
services. [Russia
has good reason to be wary of foreign agents of any kind, including
missionaries. See above. All of the color revolutions were caused by either the
CIA or the State Department. People were killed each time – Don]
While Putin was hailed by pro-life
forces in the West for signing a law restricting advertising for abortion,
Russia maintains the highest abortion rate (37.4 abortions per 1,000 women aged
15-44) of any country reported in United Nations data [Yes, and America is also one of the
highest. Is this because of government support? No. It is due to immorality and
no government can control that. But at least Russia is trying – Don]. What’s more, the government still
provides free abortion service. The official number of abortions in Russia
hovers around one million annually, but pro-life critics say the actual number
may be several times that. The Putin government, however, does appear to be
somewhat in earnest on this issue, but for practical, not moral reasons. [It is really idiotic to expect any
national leader to have policies that are strictly moral and not at all
practical. Morality and a healthy society go hand in hand. Can any of us prove
that any government, incl the US, has done anything for strictly moral reasons?
– Don] With
a falling birthrate and facing demographic implosion, Russia needs to
dramatically ramp up its fertility rate to sustain any hope of futurity. [So is it immoral for Putin to do
the right thing when it happens to be beneficial to Russia? Wouldn’t it in fact
be immoral to implement a policy that does NOT benefit the people? This is an
argument for the weak minded and is typical Neocon and Russophobe. – Don]
Vladimir Putin’s condemnations of
the depravity of modern, anti-Christian culture have won rave reviews from
Western Christians, which might lead many to think that Putin’s Russia is some
exemplary redoubt of wholesome virtue. However, Russia today is every bit as
degenerate (if not more so) as the fleshpots of the West. Pornography, child
pornography, prostitution, child prostitution, sex trafficking of women and
children, drug trafficking, drug addiction, alcoholism, suicide, homicide, and
other social pathologies are rampant throughout Russia and cannot simply be
blamed on the “decadent West.” [So if the US government undertakes a program to stop drug use
because drug use has gotten out of hand, then this is proof that the government
is to blame for the drug use and we should therefore condemn the government for
implementing the program? Another argument for the brain dead. – Don]
The Great Deception [I dedicated a large part of my expose of Russophobia (http://www.renewamerica.com/
Soviet KGB defector Anatoliy
Golitsyn has proven to be one of the most accurate and prescient predictors of
the great deception that we are now witnessing in Russia. In his famous
book New Lies for Old, published in 1984, Golitsyn exposed
the striking emphasis that the Kremlin strategists placed on conferences and
coalitions aimed at using Christians to further the objective of one-world
socialism. Golitsyn wrote:
The Christian Peace Conference,
composed of East European church leaders, dates from the period of the
formulation of the long-range policy [1958]. It has played an active part in
influencing Western churches in the interests of that policy.
The Second All Christian Congress
in Defense of Peace, held in Prague in June-July 1964, attracted one thousand
delegates, including representatives of Buddhism and Islam as well as the
Orthodox, Catholic, and the Anglican and other Protestant churches. The
introductory speech was made by Gromadka of [Communist] Czechoslovakia, the
president of the Christian Peace Conference.
Golitsyn further noted:
The Great Soviet Encyclopaedia recorded that by 1972 the
World Council of Churches had been converted from a “pro-Western” to a
“progressive” orientation in its policies on peace, disarmament, and related
matters.
Patriarch Kirill and his ROC/KGB
subordinates continue to effectively use the World Council of Churches as a
tool for Kremlin policy. However, in recent years many new fronts have been
established to further the same subversive agenda. One of the most important
new organizations may be the Congress of World and Traditional Religions,
headquartered in Astana, Kazakhstan, and founded by Nursultan Nazarbayev, the
brutal communist dictator of Kazakhstan.
The 74-year-old Nazarbayev joined
the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1962, and rose to become first
secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Kazakh Soviet
Socialist Republic and chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the SSR. Since 1991,
he has ruled as “president” of Kazakhstan, one of the most repressive of the
“former” Soviet states. Like Putin, he has been magically transformed into a
spiritual man. But since Kazakhstan is a Muslim country, Nazarbayev discovered
that he was a Muslim, of course. This also has proved helpful in placing Kazakhstan’s
communist agents inside the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, “the
collective voice of the Muslim world.”
Universal Phenomenon
The Nazarbayev “conversion” is not
unique. Virtually anywhere one might look throughout the world today, one will
find “former” communist leaders proclaiming themselves now to have converted to
Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, or Hinduism. Genuine conversions of
this type do occur, of course, as evidenced by the journeys of Whittaker
Chambers, Maurice Malkin, Bella Dodd, Douglas Hyde, Louis Budenz, and many
others. However, their breaks were clean; they didn’t cling to power or
continue to push the socialist line. But in case after case, the most famous
“converts” today give unmistakable evidence of having simply donned a new
costume to facilitate the continuation of their same play under a different
title. Here are a few of the so-called converts who still promote the
Marxist-Leninist doctrine:
• Dilma Rousseff, president of
Brazil and “former” communist terrorist;
• Daniel Ortega, president of
Nicaragua and “former” Sandinista terrorist;
• Father Miguel D’Escoto, former
Sandinista foreign minister and president of the United Nations General
Assembly;
• Hugo Chávez, the late dictator
of Venezuela;
• Illich Ramírez Sánchez, the
terrorist also known as “Carlos the Jackal”;
• Arthur Waskow, veteran Marxist
of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS);
• Mehdi Chamron, a founder of
communist “Red Shiism” in the United States, and now an official in the Iranian
regime;
• Mahmoud Abbas, chairman of the
terrorist PLO and “president of Palestine”;
• Angela Merkel, “former”
communist propagandist and now president of Germany; and
• Gulbadin Hekmatyar, KGB agent
and Afghan warlord leader of Hezb-e-Islami.
The list goes on and on. What
becomes frighteningly clear from a comprehensive study of this false
“conversion” phenomenon is that Golitsyn and other “Cassandras” who recognized
this as a strategic Trojan Horse were right.
So, let’s recap some key points:
• Putin is a lifelong agent (and
leader) of the KGB/FSB, the communist instrument used to persecute, infiltrate,
and subvert Christianity in Russia.
• Putin is following the playbooks
of both Lenin and Stalin of alternately (and simultaneously) persecuting and
exploiting religion.
• The KGB-run Russian Orthodox
Church is Putin’s “Christian” propaganda section and Patriarch Kirill (Agent
Mikhailov) is his right-hand man.
• Far from exemplifying Christian
virtues, Putin is running a KGB-mafia state that employs murder, repression, and
terror.
• Putin’s “conversion” fits a
global pattern (Nazarbayev, Rousseff, Abbas, Ortega, Chávez, et al.) of
Marxist-Leninists who are using religion to advance the same communist
objectives.
KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn’s
detailed study of the deceptive, gradual merging of the communist and
non-communist blocs under world socialism, tragically, is proving to be all too
accurate. However, Christians are called to “be wise as serpents and innocent
as doves” (Matthew 10:16). Why then allow ourselves to be deceived by a
diabolical disorientation that would put up an agent of anti-Christ communism
as a new “savior” of Christendom?
