The chaotic 18th century in Russia, or more specifically, the time between the death of Peter I and the coup of Catherine II (or 1725 to 1762), has been ignored by Orthodox writers. Russia came under the rule of a group of rapacious foreign oligarchs under the Freemason Johann von Biron of Courland (Latvia). This era, the Bironovshchina, saw the systematic persecution of the Orthodox church, with its bishops purged many times and its leaders arrested. The long-standing head of the church at the time was Archbishop Theophan Prokopovich, who openly hated and mocked the Orthodox liturgy, calling it “superstition.” The church was reduced to a shadow of its former self, and an army of new martyrs were created. It is about time the Orthodox took this seriously.

Keeping the democracy system working is a lot like herding cattle. Because there are always going to be more of the people (cattle) than rulers (cowboys), it is necessary to move the herd along without the cattle thinking about where they are actually headed. This system has worked for some time but now we seem to be witnessing a situation in many countries where the experienced cowboys have been replaced by idiots who have watched too many movies and think they can fire off their guns and shout, “Yeehaw!” at the top of their lungs and have the herd obey them.

In the Christian specific segment this week, we’ll be taking a look at an easy to misunderstand passage in the Bible: namely, Hebrews 10:26-31. At first glance, this can seem to imply that the first time you sin after having accepted Christ, you are back to square one. This is not the case and today we will discuss why.

Once again it’s time to take a look at our world as viewed through the lens of The Daily Mail. In China a black robot swinging from a noose on a crane suddenly gains sentience and makes a desperate struggle for freedom. Honestly, I kind of know how he feels.

Many of you probably listen to this show on your lunch break at your mundane wagie job that you hate. While this can admittedly make life seem pointless just remember there are those out there who have it rougher than you do. Take for instance this woman who works 24/7 and never even gets a vacation!

It’s a common theme to hear men complain about “modern women”. However, is it really “modern women” per se or just women period when normal societal constraints are removed? Here we have a story of a not modern woman who while simultaneously being brave and a poor oppressed victim, ditched her family to blaze her own trail with no regrets.

In 1971, the CIA wrote a brief, secret report condemning the “antisemitism” from “hardliners” in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. At that point, the CIA set its sights on – not the destruction of Leninism – but of Russian nationalism, which they conflated with “Stalinism.” It was only made available in 2015. It goes far in answering the questions: Why did the Jewish liberals take over Russia in 1991-1992? Why were there no real patriotic organizations that had any power in this era? This discussion continues earlier broadcasts on the collapse of the USSR and the failures of the monstrous idea of “Soviet patriotism.”

Unlike Ukraine, Europe is not experiencing bombs and missiles being dropped on it. Yet even under peacetime conditions, those in charge are finding it more and more difficult to maintain simple things such as keeping the lights on and the trains running. Since the chances of the endemic corruption being addressed are roughly zero, authorities are busy trying to construct an excuse that people will believe.

Back in the old first-world days, one could board a flight and look forward to a fun and pleasurable experience, sometimes even including a meal served right where you sat. Now airline passengers get served an experience which is much more spicy.

Coming to grips with the fact that your first-world expectations are not going to be realized requires adopting a more third-world mindset. As such, one should no longer take it for granted that you can run to the store and back in your car without the possibility of running into “teen thugs” who will shoot you in the face.

Mass society thrives on simple ideas and superficial thinking. The western mass media is an enemy like no other, partly based on ignorance, partly on malice. The mercenary armies that overthrew Assad, especially ISIS, are merely proxies of the Regime that would not exist had not the western powers created them. Refusing to grasp this, “journalists” and "public intellectuals" have come up with increasingly absurd theories based mostly around self-righteousness, virtue signaling, projection, misinformation and wishful thinking. The major articles on this topic suffer from a syndrome where the reliance on the mainstream media and the desire to "fit in" overrides elementary logic. The Syrian case is a painful example, made worse by the endlessly fluid and complex array of military forces and their sponsors. After five months without Assad, what is the Regime doing in Syria and why?

In the eternal war against the Russian Orthodox world, official historians from Moscow to Boise claim that one of Ivan the Terrible's grave crimes was ordering the murder of Metropolitan Philip of Moscow. They believe that, in a fit of paranoid rage, the Metropolitan's criticism led Ivan on a rampage of murder. Could this be true?

The murder of Austin Metcalf by Karmelo Anthony has taken on a life of its own. Driven largely via social media, this story has garnered a lot of attention. However if one steps back you can also see the attempt to control and shape the narrative by what is and isn’t being discussed.

In the Christian specific segment this week, we’ll once again answer the question; “How did we get here?” Things have finally gotten so bad (and ridiculous) that people are no longer able to ignore reality and are acting as though what they are witnessing just popped up out of the blue with no reasonable explanation. However there is an explanation and it’s the same explanation as always.

The big news today is the death of Pope Francis. If the media came out and told us that the Pope had returned from the dead, how many people would actually believe it?

The Joe Biden people released one of the most lazy and low tier Photoshop efforts since your own humble host attempted to make his own memes back in the day. Seriously, these people have plenty of money and yet they can’t actually hire someone capable of doing a halfway convincing job? Maybe this is a result of the USAID cuts.

In another example of lazy scriptwriting, a literal who with a nose ring has come out and claimed that Jesus was in the MS13 gang or something. Why are we supposed to care about this? Does this actually merit being international news? Do we need to quit allowing people to work from home?

In the latest installment of the illegal migrant drama, some buses drove to the airport and then turned back around. In the past, one of the reasons we were all told it was important to keep going along with the voting ritual was the matter of who would be placed on the Supreme Court. Now it would appear that all of those efforts are paying off! Seriously, we need better writers.

Suddenly, in 2025, the Left has backed corporate-led free trade, suggesting yet again that they have no principles whatsoever. President Trump has used the threats of tariffs on foreign goods to regain some initiative in the international arena. Is the US in a position to challenge anyone? What's the difference between the US and the Regime? Do these tariffs solve the problem of free trade or are these a different set of policies entirely? Can the US benefit from protectionist policies as a third world country might? Do theories of free trade or import substitution even apply to a Postmodern oligarchy?
