Whatever happens in the coming days, let us pray that mutually beneficial oligarch-cooperation between Kiev and Moscow is not interrupted. The Sudzha pipeline must be protected at all costs! [source: Vedomosti.ru; August 7, 2024]

It is very sad that the Phanar has lost sight of the Kingdom of Heaven and is simply machinating for the kingdoms of men. How hard do hearts be need to be when Orthodox Christians are clearly being persecuted and then one sides with the persecutors? A kingdom build by persecuting others will not stand, a kingdom build through robbery and violence has nothing to do with the Lord Jesus Christ.

According to the plan, this structure will accept UOC clergy and parishes after its ban.The Office of the President of Ukraine, in collaboration with the Phanar, is preparing to register the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Constantinople Patriarchate, into which, according to their plans, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) will be integrated after its ban, reports the Ukrainian politician and public figure Ihor Mosiychuk.
"In Ukraine, a new church will be created, or rather registered – the UOC-CP (but don’t think it’s the Kyiv Patriarchate) – the UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH OF THE CONSTANTINOPLE PATRIARCHATE! This church, or rather an exarchate (branch) of the Constantinople Patriarchate, according to the plans of the Istanbul Phanar and our Bankova (Office of the President), is supposed to accept the clergy and parishes of the UOC after its ban," Mosiychuk writes.
According to the politician, the ban on the UOC is planned to be voted on during the first plenary session, with the authorities then intending to offer UOC clergy and believers the option to join this new structure.

Another historical account. France, and the Robespierres of our time, seems to desire to lead people into degradation again. Thus, the opening of the Olympics is indeed in the Revolutionary spirit.
“The Revolution, which was brought about ostensibly for the benefit of the lower classes of society, has sunk them to a degree of degradation and misfortune to which they never were reduced under the ancient monarchy. They have been disinherited, stripped, and deprived of every resource for existence …. France bleeds at every pore – she is a vast mourning family, clad in sackcloth. It is impossible at this time for a contemplative mind to be happy in France. At every footstep the merciless and sanguinary route of fanatical barbarians disgust the sight and sicken humanity” (Webster. As quoted by Fr. Seraphim (Rose) in the “Orthodox Survival Course”)

Below is a historical account and description of the “liberte” that the French Revolution released upon itself and the world. The French Revolution is one of the most demonic events of European history. Sometimes historical context is helpful.
“Christ had no more Altar in France; the Kings had no more Throne; those who had destroyed the Altar and Throne conspired against each other; the intruders, the atheists and the deists slaughtered the Catholics; the intruders, the atheists and the deists slaughtered one another. The Constitutionalists pursued the Royalists, the Republicans pursued the Constitutionalists; the democrats of the one indivisible Republic, butchered the democrats of the federal Republic; the faction of the Mountain guillotined the faction of the Gironde. The faction of the Mountain divided into the faction of Hebert and of Marat, into the faction of Danton and of Chabot, into the faction of Cloots and of Chaumette, into the faction of Robespierre which devoured them all, and which would be in its turn devoured … they are frightened, envying one another, withdrawing from on another; only allowing new tyrants to arrive and join together; the deportations, the stupor, the terror of these Pentarques, at this moment those are the gods who rule over France” (Barruel, Augustine. As quoted by Fr. Seraphim (Rose) in the “Orthodox Survival Course”).

A miraculous story from the life of the Martyred Hieromonk Daniel Tudor while he was imprisoned under the Communist regime in Romania -
“One day in winter, they put him together with a friend in a storehouse – called the White or the Refrigerator – where it was minus 30 degrees. The storehouse had no windows, but a very dirty floor. People who were put in there would die of cold after no more than three days. Father Daniel lay down immediately with his face in the dirt and with open arms, and told the friend: “Sit on me back to back with open arms and say only this, ‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!'” Immediately as they started to say this, the storehouse was filled by a very brilliant light, and thereafter they did not know what happened next. After eight days (without the two prisoners receiving any water or food, sleep or clothes), the guards came to take their carcasses, but they were alive and fine. When they touched Father Daniel he was hot, and what was around him had melted.”

A glimpse of what I do on the side for extra work. Things have been busy but I hope to get to writing again soon.

May the Lord have mercy on this man who seems clearly now to be actively working to undermine Orthodox teaching. He is truly preaching "another gospel." https://www.helleniscope.com/2024/05/13/unrepentant-trainwreck-elpidophoros-separating-people-based-on-their-love-life-is-not-orthodoxy-en-gr/

Unrepentant, Trainwreck Elpidophoros: "Separating People Based On Their Love Life Is Not Orthodoxy" (EN-GR) - Helleniscope

*??*WITH SCREAMS AND CALLS FOR VIOLENCE. OCU RAIDERS SEIZED THE UOC TEMPLE IN VYZHENKA

??ПІД ВОПЛІ ТА ЗАКЛИКИ ДО НАСИЛЛЯ. РЕЙДЕРИ ВІД ПЦУ ЗАХОПИЛИ ХРАМ У ВИЖЕНЦІ**

◾️On May 8, raiders from the OCU almost simultaneously seized 2 Orthodox churches in Bukovina.
In the villages of Vyzhenka and Chornohuzy, which are only 10 km from each other, activists cut locks on our shrines.

In Vyzhenka, the ancient St. Nicholas Church of the UOC was taken away and occupied. The parishioners of the church were simply pushed away from the House of God.

To the accompaniment of frantic screams and incitement to hatred against Orthodox Christians, raiders from the OCU cut down the doors of the temple.
