15 May 2013. Do You Want to Worship Mammon Like Rod Dreher, Victor Potapov, and James Paffhausen? Or, Do You Want to Follow Christ?

00 Free Market Trickle Down Economics at Work. 15.05.13

******

00 Fox News Rush Limbaugh Personified. 15.05.13

Here’s the “bible” of the konvertsy… nasty, ain’t it?

______________________________

Today, loud rightwing extremists are trying to take over our Church in the American diaspora and link it with godless moneygrubbing “conservative” elements in the the American political scene. Well, they’re NOT in the mainstream of the Church. HH is a LEFTIE. Let me repeat that… politically, HH, like most of the clergy in the Rodina is a Leftie. He’s friends with the Castro brothers… he’s friends with China… he’s supports the Palestinians and Socialist Cuba. That is, he doesn’t support the Rightie lunacy spouted by Victor Potapov, James Paffhausen, Alexander Webster, Terrence Mattingly, Rod Dreher, and Michael Dahulich.

If you’re an Orthodox Christian, you’ll follow HH… as for the people I named, well, they’re following an evil ideology. Oppose them… it does affect the destiny of your immortal soul. Remember this… Our Lord Christ didn’t use the police power of the state to coerce obedience… neither should we.

14 May 2013. A Thought from HH on “Good Works” and “PR”

00 Patriarch Kirill. Harbin. Good Works. 14.05.13

______________________________

This needs no comment from me. Compare the sterling work done by Vladimir Romanovich on patriarchia.ru with the incompetent rubbish (or downright stonewalling) handed out by the brazen PR flack Ginny Nieuwsma & Co on oca.org… one of these things is NOT like the other!

12 May 2013. A Word on Certain Loud Republican Circles Amongst Us

04a Kirill and Zyuganov

Birds of a feather flock together… and they’re GOOD birds, not shitbirds.

______________________________

I say the following… so, don’t instigate a witch-hunt of those who hate the immoral and pernicious pabulum dispensed by the Republican Party. It’s time for Christ’s Church to disassociate itself publicly from the American Religious Right, the US Republican Party, and the so-called Pro-Life Movement (one can oppose abortion, yet, oppose this rightwing construct). After all, HH is/was friends with Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, Raúl Modesto Castro Ruz, Gennady Zyuganov, Pyotr Simonenko, and Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías. Birds of a feather flock together! HH doesn’t associate with godless laissez-faire liberals such as Wet Willy Romney, Paul Ryan, the American Enterprise Institute, or Mikhail Prokhorov… he doesn’t hang around braying libertarian shitbirds.

The MP is well-aware of the vitriolic Whites (“nobility”) that dominate some parts of the ROCOR. Such people got the boot in Russia, but their Western sugar daddies protect them here in the diaspora (yet, such sorts caterwaul about their “traditional” stance and love of Russia). The MP is “fed up” (as one put it) with the boorish anti-Soviet rhetoric found in certain ROCOR circles. Of course, it respects valid criticism, but the slurs, defamation, and hatred deployed by well-known parties isn’t welcome, needed, or truthful (especially, as some of the loudest Whites are on the US government payroll). They’re tired of the Whites strutting about and bad-mouthing the USSR. After all, the USSR WAS Russia.

At present, loud Republicans have appointed themselves “commissars” of opinion in our Church. It’s time to oppose them! They’re not telling the truth. Christ’s Church doesn’t stand for raping the working folk to benefit the Affluent Effluent, and that’s that. HH believes that the “Free Market” is a fraud, and has said so explicitly. That tells you much about the ROCOR loudmouths in the District, doesn’t it? Do note that the Centre won’t take in James Paffhausen… by the way, it hasn’t been for the lack of trying on the part of the Republican faction in the ROCOR. Sanity still reigns at the Centre. We should get with the programme… but shall we? Time will tell us…

10 May 2013. A Picture IS Worth a Thousand Words… HH’s Attitude to the Great Victory

00 Patriarch Kirill. Moscow. Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. 10.05.13

______________________________

Here, HH laid a wreath to commemorate the war dead at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Aleksandrovsky Sad in Moscow. That is, HH gives due honour and respect to the Great Victory and to the achievements of the USSR, unlike some ROCOR sorts I could name (but I won’t… you know who they are… they post fatuous bloviations on the ROCOR official website). Here’s the choice on offer… you can stand with HH and honour Victory Day, or, you can stand with fathead faction in the ROCOR (thank God, that’s NOT all ROCOR people) and honour the Almighty Dollar. That’s the real world choice. You KNOW where I stand.
