22 October 2011. Bishop Mel’s Guests: An Anecdote for Our Time

I wish that I had come up with this one… you guys are just too much! Thanks to my anonymous interlocutor… stuff like this keeps me (and all of us) going…

______________________________

Bishop Mel’s cell attendant came up to him and said, “Vladyki, two guests are here to see you… the Pope of Rome, and Leonid Kishkovsky. Who shall I show in first?” Bishop Mel was deep in thought for a moment… then, he told his aide, “Show in the Pope… with him, I only have to kiss his ring”.

******

This is clear to all grounded people. Lyonyo Kishkovsky (along with his organ-grinder monkeys Stokoe, Wheeler, and Jillions) is “too big for his britches”. We need a “Ilya Muromets”, and we need him NOW. Bishop Mel ain’t perfect… but that’s as good as you get in our fallen world… so, he’s got my vote (he’s NOT the Great White Hope or Old King Cole, but he’s quite good enough). Vladyki… it’s time to “kick ass and take names”… and you can start with Lyonyo, Jillions, and Stokoe… and turn over Bobby and his pals to the Feds (which would include Wheeler for being part of the gag until it became “inconvenient” for Lyonyo).

It’s time to call in the chips…

A Friend Told Me About Fathausen Issuing Some Hilarious Dezinformatsiya…

Pay no attention to Podmoshensky behind the curtain! WE SAY SO!

_______________________________

A friend wrote me this:

I picked up a copy of Fathausen’s most recent vanity publication and it contains a detailed 19-page biography by none other than… Ginny Nieuwsma! That nauseating piece of pseudo-hagiograhy deserves careful dissecting, as it’s an obvious attempt at covering the holes in his “story” that you and others have pointed out. There are a couple of illuminating titbits, for example, in addition to being his crony back from UC-Santa Cruz days, Eliel is apparently Fathausen’s godson! Fathausen dropped out of the PhD program at the Graduate Theological Union not because he was in over his head, but because the other students were in their 40s and he wanted to go back when he was older. A telling gaffe is that Nieuwsma associates GTU with UC Berkeley. While there’s an arrangement in place that allows GTU students to take some courses at UC Berkeley, the two institutions are independent. Who fed her the inaccurate info? If she didn’t research this minor point, what does that say about the rest? There are also many unintentionally humorous attempts to create links with the Greeks. All told, it’s a sterling piece of dezinformatsiya worthy of the Directorate. 

Here’s a link to SVS’s blurb on the book:

Hmm… it’s only been out since August, and my friend was already able to pick it up second-hand! I bet some previously unsuspecting victim was trying to wash out the bad taste in their mouth. In addition, I just looked at Amazon, and it looks like you can read parts of the bio through the “Look Inside” function. So, Little Mizz Ginny is Fathausen’s fave flack and spinmeister (if so, it’s proof that he’s an incompetent dolt… she’s an ignorant and uneducated ninny)… who woulda thunk it. I’d say to Bishop Mel, “Fire this slothful and mendacious little minx, or you’ll regret it”. I check out the spelling of names and places, I check out any detail that could help you to understand “what’s what”… it’s my RESPONSIBILITY as a journalist. However, Lil’ Mizz Ginny isn’t a journalist… she’s a shill, which is another thing altogether. Is this a surprise? If Our Lord Christ is Truth Incarnate, what does that make those who spit on the Truth by deliberately issuing Falsehood? We all know who their “father” is… and it’s NOT Our Father in Heaven…

Kaufft nicht bei Nieuwsma!

This Just In Department:

A friend wrote me:

JP’s Eliel’s godfather? Maybe, that’s the way they cemented their relationship. Let’s not forget Love BT didn’t graduate from SVS… he vanished during Christmas break and didn’t go back… let him bloviate all he wants.

None dare call it perversion…

22 September 2011. To George Michalopulos: Hands Off Bishop Mel!

Docs vs Cops

Sergei Yolkin

2011

******

In this case, it’s “The Truth Dogs George Michalopulos’ Heels…  You TRULY have to stop being Bobby’s lickspittle and running-dog-lackey, Georgie… it’s bloody obvious even to the kids and to the simple…

______________________________

I received this from one of my correspondents:

George Michalopulos signed the post pertaining to the canonical release of Bishop Mel; I believe he’s the moderator of www.monomakhos.com. Mr Michalopulos is a Greek-American, who was raised in the Orthodox Faith… I think that he’s one of Bobby K’s mouthpieces. Whether George likes it or not, Bishop Mel has a valid canonical release from the appropriate ecclesiastical authority (i.e. his ruling bishop) in the Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Greece. End of story.

That’s it… Bishop Mel has a valid release, and another kind friend sent me another copy of it. They’re identical, but that’s OK… I can PROVE to any disinterested judge that I got the straight story from two people in two very different parts of the country. In short, Bobby and Fathausen are desperate. Trust me, it’s going to get MUCH worse in the short term; the whole point will be to terrorise people.

These people are cold-blooded, malicious, and crooked. Remember what they did to Vladyki Vasili in ’84… and the more recent case involving Eric Iliff. The suit against SVS “went away” after his death, didn’t it? I pray for John and Monica Iliff every day… so should you. I remember Eric every day… so should you. They’ll tell you that it’s your DUTY to “enable” queer bishops, crooked archpriests, paedophile clergy, and layabout staffers, and that God will bless you if you let them rape the Church without limit. Truly, they shall. They’ll tell you that people like me are malcontents, that we’re mentally troubled; that has been their MO since the time of ADS. They’ll tell you that must attend to your immortal soul, that you must ignore any flaws in the institutional Church and be silent about dishonesty and corruption, for you can’t do anything about it. I’ll tell you what that is… it’s the Black Hundreds mindset! That’s a denial of the Incarnation! The Church is NOT a discarnate “fellowship of the saints”… it’s a living and breathing community that’ll die if we don’t clean up the shit.

Where did the 250 Gs for the payoff to Bobby come from? Mr Michalopulos doesn’t question THAT. What about Alexey Karlgut’s spiteful and implacable attacks on Kristi Koumentakos and her family? Mr Michalopulos doesn’t mention THAT. What about Fathausen’s long and intimate relationship with the deposed schismatic sodomite Gleb Podmoshensky? Mr Michalopulo’s outrage is certainly SELECTIVE. What about your pal Bobby K, Mr Michalopulos? Bobby obviously passed on to you the info that Mel’s release was crook. Guess what, it wasn’t. The nuns are a bunch of renegades that need to be shipped back to Greece where there came from. Let their REAL bishop deal with them as he wills… that’s the ORTHODOX way. Mr Michalopulos makes excuses for and whitewashes Dmitri Royster (as did Rod Dreher and Terrence Mattingly), who’s reputed to have been one of the greatest sexual predators in the Church (he was so blatant that the Centre sent in its veto of his election as Metropolitan in ’77… thank God for the grit of Metropolitan Nikodim!).

Oh… I thought that I’d mention that there was NO mention of any patriarchal blessing on any OCA/MP soirée at St Nick’s on East 97th on patriarchia.ru. NONE whatsoever. In other words, it was a crook little affair ginned up by Yustinian and El Gordo. Don’t forget, Yustinian’s a Romanian expert sent to the USA for screwing up the St Matrona Society contretemps in Tiraspol in Transnistria. As per usual, oca.org is spinning the story big time. If there were a patriarchal blessing on any shindig, there’d be a mention of it on the main website… there wasn’t any, so, there wasn’t any “patriarchal blessing” on anything. His Holiness was busy in Piter, in any case, frying rather more important fish, I’d say.

Don’t tell me how “nice” this one or that one is… or how “spiritual” they are. In my experience that’s often an indication that they’re NOT what they claim to be… let’s not forget Sam Greene, Hillary Madison, Panteleimon Metropoulos, and Dmitri Royster. You can’t tell from exterior signs who’s who and who’s up to what. You can only tell the truth from what people DO. If someone lies… you notice it. If someone steals… you notice it. If someone abuses another… you notice it. If someone tells you to ignore it “for the good of the Church” or “for the good of your soul”, you’re dealing with Satan’s servant, full stop. It’s our DUTY to speak up… it’s our OBLIGATION to stand up.

We’ll all face judgement some day… and I intend to stand clear before my God. “I made many mistakes, I made many missteps, but I kept the Truth before me at all times”. I think that I’ll pass muster… what about you? Think on it…

Editor’s Addendum:

I just received this:

Reg. No. 68

13 December 2008

Canonical Letter of Release

Through the present Document of our Monastery, signed and sealed with its holy seal, in accordance with the decision recorded in Section A of the Minutes of Meeting VI of our Elders’ Council on 13 December 2008, complying with the petition of the Beatific Archbishop of Washington and New York-Metropolitan of all America and Canada (sic) Jonah of the OCA, expressed by his Letter of 8 December 2008, addressed to us, We Release the great-schema brother, dear to us, Very Reverend Archimandrite Fr Melchisedek, secular name Thomas Pleska, son of Alexander and Eugenia, formerly Professor of Dogmatics at the Theological Academy of St Tikhon, Pennsylvania, USA, in order for him to serve the Lord from now on with all faithfulness and commitment even outside the monastic sheepfold, through His Beatitude, the aforementioned Metropolitan, who called him to this, with His Eminence, our Metropolitan of Thessaliotis and Phanariophersala, Kirill, attesting that his priesthood is without impediment by his sealed and signed sanction hereupon.

The Abbot Of The Holy Monastery Of Petra

Archimandrite Dionysios

and the Brothers with me in Christ

******

Someone kindly send me a PDF of this, with the monastery seal affixed to it. George Michalopulos is a lying sack of sack of shit and deserves to have a Cossack horsewhipping for his baldfaced and brazen lies. Retract everything in PUBLIC, Mr Michalopulos. EVERYTHING. Bishop Mel’s release is kosher… and, what’s more, you knew that there’s nothing wrong with it. This is enough to make any decent person avoid your scurvy presence.

Why must we put up with such?
