veteranstoday--2020-10-01--Anti Christ Rising in the Nagorno-Karabakh

If you have absolutely no idea where Nagorno-Karabakh is , do not feel alone .
Neither did I .
So here is a brief run down from Wikipedia : Nagorno-Karabakh is a landlocked region in the South Caucasus , lying between Lower Karabakh and Zangezur and covering the southeastern range of the Lesser Caucasus mountains .
The region is mostly mountainous and forested .
Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan , but most of the region is governed by the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic , a de facto independent nation established on the basis of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exercised political authority over the region since the advent of the Karabakh movement in 1988 .
Since the end of the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1994 , representatives of the governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have been holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group on the region ’ s disputed status .
The region is usually equated with the administrative borders of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast , comprising an area of 4,400 square kilometres ( 1,700 sq mi ) .
The historical area of the region , however , encompasses approximately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
As you can see from a map , Nagorno-Karabakh is a virtual island in the middle of an Azerbaijan sea .
The country is predominantly Armenian Eastern Orthodox Christian surrounded by a Muslim nation with no land bridge between them and their fellow Armenians in Armenia .
A recent report from South Front describes the current situation as of 6th March 2016 : After 22 years , the shaky Armenian-Azeri ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh region fell apart overnight on April 2 with both sides of the front using mortars , artillery @ @ @ @ @ @ @ multiple rocket launchers .
Azerbaijan also uses UAVs and helicopters .
Baku and Yerevan blame each other for triggering the hostilities in the mountainous area .
However , the most intense fighting on April 2 and April 3 were observed in Martakert ( регион ) where the Azeri troops were advancing on forces of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic , an unrecognized state which is de-facto a province of Armenia .
The conflict complicates matters for all powers inching into the Caucasus , especially for Russia , Iran and Turkey that also involved in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ base in Armenia .
Turkey immediately supported Azerbaijan ’ s stance and Turkish President Recep Erdogan stated that the disputed region will ‘ inevitably ’ return to Azerbaijan .
Iran shares borders with both sides of the front .
If the peaceful solution isn ’ t found fast , the ongoing fighting could develop into a wider conflict destabilizing the Caucasus , dramatically .
Where have I heard this story before ?
Ok… stupid question… moving on .
Nagorno-Karabakh was once part of the Armenian Kingdom 180 B.C – 400 A.D. , Armenia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a state religion .
( Hold onto that thought . )
To quote from Wikipedia again : Armenian culture and civilization flourished in the early medieval Nagorno-Karabakh .
In the 5th century , the first-ever Armenian school was opened on the territory of modern Nagorno-Karabakh—at the Amaras Monastery—by the efforts of St. Mesrop Mashtots , the inventor of the Armenian alphabet .
St. Mesrop was very active in preaching Gospel in Artsakh and Utik .
Overall , Mesrop Mashtots made three trips to Artsakh and Utik , ultimately reaching pagan territories at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 7th-century Armenian linguist and grammarian Stephanos Syunetsi stated in his work that Armenians of Artsakh had their own dialect , and encouraged his readers to learn it .
In the same 7th century , Armenian poet Davtak Kertogh writes his Elegy on the Death of Grand Prince Juansher , where each passage begins with a letter of Armenian script in alphabetical order .
The only comprehensive history of Caucasian Albania was written in Armenian , by the historian Movses Kaghankatvatsi .
The plot thickens .
Whatever these Eastern Orthodox Christians have got , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obvious that certain parties are determined to wipe them off the face of the earth .
We have seen this play out through history from the time of the Muslim invasion in the 7th century , to the sacking of Constantinople and the rape of the Hagia Sophia in the 13th by the mercenaries of the Vatican funded by the Jewish bankers of Venice and later to the sacking of Constantinople and the rape of the Hagia Sophia in the 16th century by the Turks from which it has never recovered .
One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Armenians , raping their women and the crucifying them , something that has yet again raised its ugly head in Syria in the 21st century where Orthodox Christians have been massacred , their churches burnt and their women and children abducted , sold on slave markets and raped by the “ ISIS ” forces who have had the funding , training and support from Saudi Arabia , Jordan , Qatar , Israel , the US specifically the CIA , the UK and France .
We have also seen it in Israel where Christian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ burnt down by Jewish extremists and Orthodox Priests have been arrested and persecuted .
We have seen it in Egypt in the Arab Spring , where the Muslim Brotherhood burnt down Orthodox Coptic Christian churches and persecuted Christians who are also some of the oldest Christian communities in the world .
And we have seen it in Ukraine where the Nazi Roman Catholic Avov Battalions from Kiev have persecuted Orthodox Russian Christians , the massacre at Odessa being one example .
So what is so threatening ?
For now let ’ s go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ forward in time and try to make sense of it all .
We start with Abram .
He did not come from Ur of the Chaldees in Mesopotamia , he came from Urfa , also known as Odessa of Khaldi in Armenia .
which is now southern Turkey on the border with Syria .
He was Armenian and spoke Aramaic , a language that was still used in Palestine in the 1st century A.D. and was used by the Hebrews .
The truth of his origins have been obscured by a Babylonian / @ @ @ @ @ @ @ source by the Jews who lived there after the Assyrian invasion of the Northern Kingdom of Israel and later the southern Kingdom of Judea .
.
The stories of Noah in the Sumerian texts originated in Armenia , Mount Ararat .
The Sumerians adopted them into the stories of Enki and Enlil after their repeated invasions .
The most logical conclusion I can come to is that Atlantis was a number of islands in what is now the Mediterranean Sea .
During this time the area between the Giza plateau and the delta @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the straits of Gibraltar were breached by the Atlantic ocean .
“ Noah ” with a bit of savvy most probably knew they were going to be breached and built a big boat for himself and his family .
It landed on Mount Ararat where you can see the fossilized remains today .
He most probably lived in an area that once was in the Black Sea , where a pyramid structure has been recently discovered under the sea buried near the sea port of Sevastopol .
The Sumerians adopted this story as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mythology .
The flooding of cold water from the Atlantic changed the climate .
North Africa and what is now the Middle East slowly became much drier where once it had been marsh land and very fertile and abundant .
Khaldi translated by the biased Babylonian narrative as Chaldee , was the supreme god of the Armenians .
He wore feathers much as the Native Americans do , and stood on a Lion .
Ur of the Khaldees , the believers in Khaldi originated from Armenia .
Of relevance is that they did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Sumerians did or the Canaanites who worshiped Moloch .
Neither did the Egyptians .
The flood stories were not part of Egyptian texts.The Egyptians with the benefit of the fertility of the Nile and gold mining , were the Eldorado of the day and the least effected with strong ties to Ethiopia where the Enoch texts originate .
These are Nubian texts not Semitic texts .
Abram decided to go to Eldorado and seek his fortune .
He left Ur of the Khaldi and finally arrived in the area around Jerusalem where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to sacrifice his son at Gehenna , which incorporated the temple mount .
At the time Canaan was an Egyptian protectorate that pledged allegiance to the Egyptian King/God but still had their own local gods and religious beliefs , one of which was human sacrifice .
When entering any city or town , newcomers were expected to pay homage to the gods of that area and show allegiance .
This is where the story becomes very interesting .
Abram ’ s wife Sarah was a Kedesheh .
Sacred prostitute .
She could only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ case the “ god ” was the Pharaoh .
We have two stories in the Old Testament where Abram sells off Sarah to the Pharaoh and to Abimelech .
By doing so he would get preferential treatment and favours for himself and his family .
In this case title deed to property for grazing his sheep .
We hear that Sarah mourns because she has no children .
In Genesis 21 we are told that the Lord visited Sarah and did unto Sarah as he had spoken and Sarah conceived and bore a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ child not Abram .
Noah cursed Canaan not Ham , Mizaim , Cush or Punt .
Canaan was the father of the Canaanites a Semitic peoples , not Nubian .
Abraham is circumcised which is an African tradition practiced for health reasons , Bilharzia being one of them that was rampant along the Nile River .
Isaac is half Armenian half Egyptian .
The same goes for Jacob , whose mother Rebecca , a Syrian , was also visited by the Lord , later called – Isis – RA – EL .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was also visited by the Lord .
Joseph was the Egyptian Yuya who married an Egyptian princess Tuya .
Their son was Ephraim – which means fertile land .
Fruitful .
Egypt the fruitful land along the Nile .
Son of God .
( Jeremiah 31 ) Firstborn of Armenian descent through the patriarchs Isaac , Jacob and Joseph and the matriarchs Sarah , Rebecca and Rachel .
Through his mother Asenath/ Tuya Ephraim is also of the house of the Lord , the King , the Pharaoh , the house of Tut-MOSIS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ holy Kedeshah who can only have a child of the “ God.
” Hence they all mourn being barren because their husbands can not copulate with them .
It is a complicated way of social-climbing .
All three were exceptionally beautiful women .
Therefore treasured .
This is the origin of the Virgin Mary story .
“ Mary ” is a derivative of the name Miriam/ Mizraim = Egypt.= Isis = the mother of the God King Horus .
The black Goddess .
Paris as one example = Pa -Isis .
House of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the same thing .
But unlike the matriarchs she is a concubine , and has no children to become part of the descendants of the royal line .
See : Purim : Esther As Concubine And Acolyte of Ishtar .
Ephraim , Nun and Joshua inherit the title Isis-Ra-EL .
They are promised the land of Palestine by the Lord/Pharaoh which was an Egyptian protectorate .
It is part of their birth right .
After the death of Tutankhamun , Moses and Joshua lead the 12 tribes of Israel to the promised land @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Taking their monotheistic belief with them that originated with Akhenaten , the grandson of Joseph and Asenath .
The Ark of the Covenant is a copy of the many Arks that have been found in Egypt that were used to store important texts and objects .
This Ark is kept at Shiloh in a tent , Shiloh being the first capital of Israel in the area of the tribe of tribe Ephraim .
Joshua of the tribe of Ephraim inherits the title Isis-Ra_EL , the crown , the corner-stone and the vine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joseph is a fruitful bough , even a fruitful bough by a well ; whose branches run over the wall : 23 The archers have sorely grieved him , and shot at him , and hated him : 24 But his bow abode in strength , and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob ; ( from thence is the shepherd , the stone of Israel : ) 25 Even by the God of thy father , who shall help thee ; and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thee with blessings of heaven above , blessings of the deep that lieth under , blessings of the breasts , and of the womb : 26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills : they shall be on the head of Joseph , and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren .
Judah holds the sceptre until Shiloh comes and relinquished it when Joshua entered the promised land thereafter tethering his donkey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Joseph .
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah , nor a lawgiver from between his feet , until Shiloh come ( Israel ) ; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be .
( Ephraim-Joshua Israel ) 11 Binding his foal unto the vine , ( Joseph ) and his ass ’ s colt unto the choice vine ; he washed his garments in wine , and his clothes in the blood of grapes Judah is not the firstborn , the son of the Lord nor does he inherit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the mother of Judah .
Judah married Tamar a Canaanite .
David through the matrilineal line is Canaanite and Moabite ( Ruth ) and takes over the City of Jerusalem in the Gehenna valley and builds his temple on the rock where Abram was going to sacrifice Isaac to Moloch .
In the same way that Jesus/Joshua is later sacrificed on a cross at Geheena .
“ Jesus ” is the son of Joseph and Mary=Mariam=Mizraim=Egypt the mother of “ God , ” , he comes from out of Egypt .
He is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ – Ephraim- Joseph- Rachel – Rebecca- Sarah .
He is the son of God , the firstborn , the corner stone , the vine and he wears the crown .
He comes from the north , from Galilee , the Northern Kingdom of Isis-Ra-EL .
Bethlehem in Judea was unoccupied and deserted in the first century A.D .
However Bethlehem a few short miles from Nazareth was a thriving town .
Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt when Herod the Great wanted to kill the “ firstborn , ” in the same way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ escape slavery and persecution in the southern Kingdom of Judea after the Assyrians had invaded the Northern Kingdom of Israel and chased them further south .
Mary and Joseph return to Nazareth in Galilee in the same way that the Hebrews returned to the Northern Kingdom after Cyrus the Great from Iran defeated the Babylonians and both the Jews and the Hebrews returned to their land .
The honoured Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri left a cryptic note only to be opened a year after he died in 2006 .
He believed that the Messiah @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statements made by the Roman Catholic Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore who is of the opinion that Jesus is never coming back and they can not wait anymore , and that any statements that Jesus made in this regard , were because he was drunk .
Kaduri ’ s note on the other hand read : “ ” ירים העם ויוכיח שדברו ותורתו עומדים ” ( translated as “ he will raise the people and confirm that his word and law are standing ” ) , which by acronym , suggested the name “ Yehoshua @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recognised phenomenon in the Tanakh.
” The Latin translation for Yehoshua is Joshua , the Greek is Jesus .
The first country to convert to Christianity and make it a state religion was Armenia .
This would suggest that some of the family members of Jesus or James the Righteous went to Armenia due to persecution by the Levite High Priests , the Herod Edomite Kings and the Roman Legion .
There are some very interesting churches and monasteries in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh many of which are closed to the public .
Their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the west has ever heard of .
Any serious archaeologist doing research in the area usually ends up dead .
Not surprisingly .
100 years ago the Turks raped Armenian women and then crucified them .
During the Soviet Union the Russians did a lot of investigations in Armenia.Today we have a major buildup of Russian military in Armenia there to support the Orthodox Christians as they have supported Syria .
The predominately Orthodox Christian community in Nagorno-Karabakh have now been roped into the what is quite openly called World War Three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tut- Mosis 111 made mince meat of his enemies at Armageddon/ Megiddo .
There is a good chance that he will do it again along with his Armenian sons .
IF I am right , … and I do believe that at the very least I am on the right track… .
well , … you know what the implications of this are .
History repeats .
In the time of Jacob he tried to kill Joseph and threw him into a well , he was instead sold into slavery and went to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Assyrian invasion he turned the Ephraimites into slaves and persecuted them when they fled to Judea for safety ; in the time of Jesus he sold him out to the Levite Temple priests and Yeshua was crucified at Gehenna , and today through ISIS with the full co-operation of Saudi Arabia , Turkey , Jordan , the CIA , M16 and others , he is doing it again .
The Levite Babylonian Temple priesthood ; the Edomite Herodian Kings ; and the Roman Legion .
Same script different day .
We all know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ predicted what would happen to Judea when the Assyrians wiped it off the map and the Jews are taken into captivity in Babylon .
Jeremiah on the other hand , along with the ten tribes , fled slavery and went to Egypt .
In the 1st century A.D. , the temple in Judea was completely laid to waste , which led to a 2,000 year diaspora .
Almost 75 % of the world ’ s population today has some genetic link to any one of the 12 tribes of Israel .
Since then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world , and the game is now being played on an international scale .
It is a fractal , played out through time in ever increasing increments .
Revelation is the final score .

If you have absolutely no idea where Nagorno-Karabakh is, do not feel alone. Neither did I.
So here is a brief run down from Wikipedia:
Nagorno-Karabakh is a landlocked region in the South Caucasus, lying between Lower Karabakh and Zangezur and covering the southeastern range of the Lesser Caucasus mountains. The region is mostly mountainous and forested.
Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but most of the region is governed by the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, a de facto independent nation established on the basis of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast of the Azerbaijan SSR. Azerbaijan has not exercised political authority over the region since the advent of the Karabakh movement in 1988. Since the end of the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1994, representatives of the governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have been holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group on the region’s disputed status.
The region is usually equated with the administrative borders of the former Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast, comprising an area of 4,400 square kilometres (1,700 sq mi). The historical area of the region, however, encompasses approximately 8,223 square kilometres (3,175 sq mi).
As you can see from a map, Nagorno-Karabakh is a virtual island in the middle of an Azerbaijan sea. The country is predominantly Armenian Eastern Orthodox Christian surrounded by a Muslim nation with no land bridge between them and their fellow Armenians in Armenia.
.
A recent report from South Front describes the current situation as of 6th March 2016:
After 22 years, the shaky Armenian-Azeri ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh region fell apart overnight on April 2 with both sides of the front using mortars, artillery, armored vehicles, battle tanks and multiple rocket launchers. Azerbaijan also uses UAVs and helicopters.
Baku and Yerevan blame each other for triggering the hostilities in the mountainous area. However, the most intense fighting on April 2 and April 3 were observed in Martakert (регион) where the Azeri troops were advancing on forces of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, an unrecognized state which is de-facto a province of Armenia.
The conflict complicates matters for all powers inching into the Caucasus, especially for Russia, Iran and Turkey that also involved in the Syrian war.
Russia has a military base in Armenia. Turkey immediately supported Azerbaijan’s stance and Turkish President Recep Erdogan stated that the disputed region will ‘inevitably’ return to Azerbaijan. Iran shares borders with both sides of the front. If the peaceful solution isn’t found fast, the ongoing fighting could develop into a wider conflict destabilizing the Caucasus, dramatically.
Where have I heard this story before? Ok… stupid question… moving on.
The Amaras Monastery, founded in the 4th century by St. Gregory the Illuminator. In the 5th century, Mesrop Mashtots, inventor of the Armenian alphabet, established at Amaras the first school to use his script
Nagorno-Karabakh was once part of the Armenian Kingdom 180 B.C – 400 A.D. , Armenia being the first country to declare Christianity a state religion. (Hold onto that thought.)
To quote from Wikipedia again:
Armenian culture and civilization flourished in the early medieval Nagorno-Karabakh. In the 5th century, the first-ever Armenian school was opened on the territory of modern Nagorno-Karabakh—at the Amaras Monastery—by the efforts of St. Mesrop Mashtots, the inventor of the Armenian alphabet. St. Mesrop was very active in preaching Gospel in Artsakh and Utik. Overall, Mesrop Mashtots made three trips to Artsakh and Utik, ultimately reaching pagan territories at the foothills of the Greater Caucasus.
The 7th-century Armenian linguist and grammarian Stephanos Syunetsi stated in his work that Armenians of Artsakh had their own dialect, and encouraged his readers to learn it. In the same 7th century, Armenian poet Davtak Kertogh writes his Elegy on the Death of Grand Prince Juansher, where each passage begins with a letter of Armenian script in alphabetical order. The only comprehensive history of Caucasian Albania was written in Armenian, by the historian Movses Kaghankatvatsi.
Hagia Sofia – Istanbul
The plot thickens. Whatever these Eastern Orthodox Christians have got, it is so threatening that it is obvious that certain parties are determined to wipe them off the face of the earth.
We have seen this play out through history from the time of the Muslim invasion in the 7th century, to the sacking of Constantinople and the rape of the Hagia Sophia in the 13th by the mercenaries of the Vatican funded by the Jewish bankers of Venice and later to the sacking of Constantinople and the rape of the Hagia Sophia in the 16th century by the Turks from which it has never recovered.
One hundred years ago the Turks persecuted the Armenians, raping their women and the crucifying them, something that has yet again raised its ugly head in Syria in the 21st century where Orthodox Christians have been massacred, their churches burnt and their women and children abducted, sold on slave markets and raped by the “ISIS” forces who have had the funding, training and support from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar,Israel, the US specifically the CIA, the UK and France.
We have also seen it in Israel where Christian churches on the West Bank have been burnt down by Jewish extremists and Orthodox Priests have been arrested and persecuted. We have seen it in Egypt in the Arab Spring, where the Muslim Brotherhood burnt down Orthodox Coptic Christian churches and persecuted Christians who are also some of the oldest Christian communities in the world. And we have seen it in Ukraine where the Nazi Roman Catholic Avov Battalions from Kiev have persecuted Orthodox Russian Christians, the massacre at Odessa being one example.
Abraham’s Pool Urfa
So what is so threatening?
For now let’s go back in time in order to go forward in time and try to make sense of it all.
We start with Abram. He did not come from Ur of the Chaldees in Mesopotamia, he came from Urfa, also known as Odessa of Khaldi in Armenia. which is now southern Turkey on the border with Syria. He was Armenian and spoke Aramaic, a language that was still used in Palestine in the 1st century A.D. and was used by the Hebrews.
The truth of his origins have been obscured by a Babylonian / Assyrian biased pentimento painted over the original source by the Jews who lived there after the Assyrian invasion of the Northern Kingdom of Israel and later the southern Kingdom of Judea. .
The stories of Noah in the Sumerian texts originated in Armenia, Mount Ararat. The Sumerians adopted them into the stories of Enki and Enlil after their repeated invasions. The most logical conclusion I can come to is that Atlantis was a number of islands in what is now the Mediterranean Sea.
During this time the area between the Giza plateau and the delta was a swamp area.The flood occurred when the straits of Gibraltar were breached by the Atlantic ocean. “Noah”with a bit of savvy most probably knew they were going to be breached and built a big boat for himself and his family. It landed on Mount Ararat where you can see the fossilized remains today.
He most probably lived in an area that once was in the Black Sea, where a pyramid structure has been recently discovered under the sea buried near the sea port of Sevastopol.
The Sumerians adopted this story as their own and incorporated it into their mythology. The flooding of cold water from the Atlantic changed the climate. North Africa and what is now the Middle East slowly became much drier where once it had been marsh land and very fertile and abundant.
Khaldi translated by the biased Babylonian narrative as Chaldee, was the supreme god of the Armenians. He wore feathers much as the Native Americans do, and stood on a Lion.
Khaldi — winged god standing on a lion
Ur of the Khaldees, the believers in Khaldi originated from Armenia. Of relevance is that they did not believe in human sacrifice, as the Sumerians did or the Canaanites who worshiped Moloch. Neither did the Egyptians.
The flood stories were not part of Egyptian texts.The Egyptians with the benefit of the fertility of the Nile and gold mining, were the Eldorado of the day and the least effected with strong ties to Ethiopia where the Enoch texts originate. These are Nubian texts not Semitic texts.
Abram decided to go to Eldorado and seek his fortune. He left Ur of the Khaldi and finally arrived in the area around Jerusalem where the “god” Moloch told him to sacrifice his son at Gehenna, which incorporated the temple mount.
At the time Canaan was an Egyptian protectorate that pledged allegiance to the Egyptian King/God but still had their own local gods and religious beliefs, one of which was human sacrifice. When entering any city or town, newcomers were expected to pay homage to the gods of that area and show allegiance.
This is where the story becomes very interesting. Abram’s wife Sarah was a Kedesheh. Sacred prostitute. She could only copulate with a God. In this case the “god” was the Pharaoh. We have two stories in the Old Testament where Abram sells off Sarah to the Pharaoh and to Abimelech. By doing so he would get preferential treatment and favours for himself and his family. In this case title deed to property for grazing his sheep.
We hear that Sarah mourns because she has no children. In Genesis 21 we are told that the Lord visited Sarah and did unto Sarah as he had spoken and Sarah conceived and bore a child.The “Lord” gives Sarah a child not Abram.
Abram then decides to sacrifice Isaac at Gehenna to the “god” Moloch on the temple mount. The “Lord” stops him after which Abram converts and becomes Ab – father – Ra – god of Egypt – Ham, son of Noah, Nubians. Abraham.
Noah cursed Canaan not Ham, Mizaim, Cush or Punt. Canaan was the father of the Canaanites a Semitic peoples, not Nubian. Abraham is circumcised which is an African tradition practiced for health reasons, Bilharzia being one of them that was rampant along the Nile River.
Isaac is half Armenian half Egyptian. The same goes for Jacob, whose mother Rebecca, a Syrian, was also visited by the Lord, later called – Isis – RA – EL. The same goes for Joseph whose mother Rachel was also visited by the Lord.
Joseph was the Egyptian Yuya who married an Egyptian princess Tuya. Their son was Ephraim – which means fertile land. Fruitful. Egypt the fruitful land along the Nile.
Son of God. (Jeremiah 31) Firstborn of Armenian descent through the patriarchs Isaac, Jacob and Joseph and the matriarchs Sarah, Rebecca and Rachel. Through his mother Asenath/ Tuya Ephraim is also of the house of the Lord, the King, the Pharaoh, the house of Tut-MOSIS.
Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel are holy Kedeshah who can only have a child of the “God.” Hence they all mourn being barren because their husbands cannot copulate with them. It is a complicated way of social-climbing. All three were exceptionally beautiful women. Therefore treasured. This is the origin of the Virgin Mary story. “Mary” is a derivative of the name Miriam/ Mizraim = Egypt.= Isis = the mother of the God King Horus. The black Goddess. Paris as one example = Pa -Isis. House of Isis.
In Babylon Esther does much the same thing. But unlike the matriarchs she is a concubine, and has no children to become part of the descendants of the royal line. See: Purim: Esther As Concubine And Acolyte of Ishtar.
Ephraim, Nun and Joshua inherit the title Isis-Ra-EL. They are promised the land of Palestine by the Lord/Pharaoh which was an Egyptian protectorate. It is part of their birth right. After the death of Tutankhamun, Moses and Joshua lead the 12 tribes of Israel to the promised land. This is a legal land tender. Taking their monotheistic belief with them that originated with Akhenaten, the grandson of Joseph and Asenath.
The Ten Commandments, Proverbs, Psalms, the Song of Songs all originate from Egyptian texts.
The Ark of the Covenant is a copy of the many Arks that have been found in Egypt that were used to store important texts and objects. This Ark is kept at Shiloh in a tent, Shiloh being the first capital of Israel in the area of the tribe of tribe Ephraim.
Joshua of the tribe of Ephraim inherits the title Isis-Ra_EL, the crown, the corner-stone and the vine from the blessings on Joseph.
Genesis 49:
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Judah holds the sceptre until Shiloh comes and relinquished it when Joshua entered the promised land thereafter tethering his donkey to the vine, the line of Joseph.
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come (Israel); and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.(Ephraim-Joshua Israel)
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, (Joseph) and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes
Judah is not the firstborn, the son of the Lord nor does he inherit the title Isis-Ra -EL. Leah was the mother of Judah. Judah married Tamar a Canaanite. David through the matrilineal line is Canaanite and Moabite (Ruth) and takes over the City of Jerusalem in the Gehenna valley and builds his temple on the rock where Abram was going to sacrifice Isaac to Moloch. In the same way that Jesus/Joshua is later sacrificed on a cross at Geheena.
“Jesus” is the son of Joseph and Mary=Mariam=Mizraim=Egypt the mother of “God,”, he comes from out of Egypt. He is a direct descendant of Joshua – Nun – Ephraim- Joseph- Rachel – Rebecca- Sarah. He is the son of God, the firstborn, the corner stone, the vine and he wears the crown. He comes from the north, from Galilee, the Northern Kingdom of Isis-Ra-EL.
Bethlehem in Judea was unoccupied and deserted in the first century A.D. However Bethlehem a few short miles from Nazareth was a thriving town. Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt when Herod the Great wanted to kill the “firstborn,”in the same way that the Ephraimites fled to Egypt to escape slavery and persecution in the southern Kingdom of Judea after the Assyrians had invaded the Northern Kingdom of Israel and chased them further south.
Mary and Joseph return to Nazareth in Galilee in the same way that the Hebrews returned to the Northern Kingdom after Cyrus the Great from Iran defeated the Babylonians and both the Jews and the Hebrews returned to their land.
The honoured Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri left a cryptic note only to be opened a year after he died in 2006. He believed that the Messiah would arrive soon, contrary to recent statements made by the Roman Catholic Cardinal Giorgio Salvadore who is of the opinion that Jesus is never coming back and they cannot wait anymore, and that any statements that Jesus made in this regard, were because he was drunk. Kaduri’s note on the other hand read:
“”ירים העם ויוכיח שדברו ותורתו עומדים” (translated as “he will raise the people and confirm that his word and law are standing”), which by acronym, suggested the name “Yehoshua”. Such acrostics are a well recognised phenomenon in the Tanakh.”
The Latin translation for Yehoshua is Joshua, the Greek is Jesus.

As I recall, Tut- Mosis 111 made mince meat of his enemies at Armageddon/ Megiddo. There is a good chance that he will do it again along with his Armenian sons.
IF I am right, … and I do believe that at the very least I am on the right track…. well, … you know what the implications of this are.
Poof goes the Judah weasel!
History repeats. In the time of Jacob he tried to kill Joseph and threw him into a well, he was instead sold into slavery and went to Egypt; in the time of the Assyrian invasion he turned the Ephraimites into slaves and persecuted them when they fled to Judea for safety; in the time of Jesus he sold him out to the Levite Temple priests and Yeshua was crucified at Gehenna, and today through ISIS with the full co-operation of Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, the CIA, M16 and others, he is doing it again.
The Levite Babylonian Temple priesthood; the Edomite Herodian Kings; and the Roman Legion. Same script different day.
We all know how the story ends. Jeremiah 34 predicted what would happen to Judea when the Assyrians wiped it off the map and the Jews are taken into captivity in Babylon. Jeremiah on the other hand, along with the ten tribes, fled slavery and went to Egypt.
In the 1st century A.D., the temple in Judea was completely laid to waste, which led to a 2,000 year diaspora. Almost 75% of the world’s population today has some genetic link to any one of the 12 tribes of Israel.
Since then, the 12 tribes have spread throughout the world, and the game is now being played on an international scale. It is a fractal, played out through time in ever increasing increments. Revelation is the final score.

Last year, standing in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, where Chairman Mao Zedong announced the formation of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) on October 1, 1949 after communist forces won a bloody civil war by defeating the ruling Kuomintang (KMT)-National Party, supported by the imperialist powers, President Xi Jinping said in his address:
“There is no force that can shake the foundation of this great nation”.
During the National Day, the military parade in the Tiananmen Square in Beijing is followed by about 100,000 civilian performers.

However, China’s One Belt, One Road (OBOR) or China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a hugely trade and infrastructure mega-project linking China to markets across central Asia, Europe and Africa show China’s economic power.
In this respect, the European Union’s foreign affairs Chief Josep Borrell admitted on May 25, this year that in Asia, China is “replacing the United States as the center of global power”.
Nevertheless, new cold war has started between China and the US, as in the recent past, the rift which apparently began from banning applications, escalated when both Beijing and Washington closed each other’s consulates, resulting in deportation and imposing of sanctions over various lawmakers and personalities.
And to aggravate all concerns regarding China’s activities in the South China Sea, the maritime military exercises led by American military near Hawaii—ten countries which participated in the exercises were Australia, Brunei, Canada, France, Japan, North Korea, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, and the US itself were a signal to China from the US that it is forming an alliance against China.

“He has an inability to clearly condemn white supremacists,” Neumann said. “He either likes the ambiguity or he’s intentionally endorsing these people. He’s unfit, and I think he’s extremely dangerous.”

VT folks are gun folks. We make guns, we sell guns and ammunition or rather Mike Chester does through Chet’s Firearms. I talked to Mike last week about what is going on.
Mike is in Howell, Michigan, longtime headquarters of white supremacist groups but, increasingly an upscale ‘hours drive’ bedroom community for metro Detroit.
For those lucky enough, no supremacist gang members live near you. For the very lucky, violent right wing gangs, not always white mind you, are seen only on TV. For others, rural areas, lower class areas around Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland and Milwaukee, its a reality, behind that Trump sign on a lawn is an idiot with a gun.
Working closely with Nazis among local police, sometimes pretending to be Antifa, mostly out of boredom, these armed maniacs would, if allowed, turn the United States into Stalin’s Russia.
If you don’t think the Kosher Nostra Prince Rupert Murdoch is behind it, listen to his mouthpiece Tucker Carlson:
Tucker Carlson calls concern about white supremacist inspired violence “crazier than any conspiracy” https://t.co/WSuzQkySF7 — Media Matters (@mmfa) October 1, 2020
Buying ammunition and guns in America is almost impossible now. Why? Biden folks are buying everything, people who see ‘Trump’ signs as an indication their neighbors aren’t ‘neighborly’ at all but potentially dangerous kooks.
Some of the time they are right, maybe too much of the time. Immunity to facts, ignorance of science and the willingness to abide dictatorship, hatred and rule by the Kosher Nostra and their front man ‘Trump’ isn’t a secret anymore.
Then, during a debate, Trump asked for his neo-Nazi supporters to “stand by” to frighten away voters. Did he really say this?
He didn’t just refuse to disavow them—he asked them to “stand by.” Donald Trump is a white supremacist and we have a moral obligation to fight back. https://t.co/GdoPbn65CB — Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) September 30, 2020
White Americans, millions of them, are arming against the real enemy they finally recognize, the ‘tyranny of the stupid,’ the right.
One of Mike’s toys, now being bought by white America but not Trump’s ‘white America.”
Mike says 75% of his sales now, and they are “off the scale” are white middle class Americans buying guns to protect themselves from extremists. You see, people clearly recognize that the hillbilly right wing extremists, nominally “supremacist” are really something more.
This is a war by the ignorant and violent underclass, let’s call them what they are, criminals, against people who want a better America. The groups, Proud Boys are only one, are doing exactly what Martin Niemoeller said. Supremacism isn’t so much about race as it is about ‘class envy.’
These are people who hate others who have more and they will use their guns, if allowed, to take it all away.
They would leave you with their lives, drugs, alcohol, childish politics and hate.
Years ago, VT warned that the DHS and ADL, the mob run GOP would start a revolution in this country based exactly on how Hitler took over Germany aided by the Bush family, Rockefeller. The details are here.
VT reviews the facts, the video above a useful documentary formerly used by the DHS and supplied to states to use in training counter-terrorist police. The new DHS believes otherwise. This is the video Trump watches, the Nazis killing communists in 1920s Germany:
And then later rounding up the Jews…
What is the threat? The probable stupidest president in American history is reaching out to the least educated generation of Americans, feeding and stoking their primitive hatred of those who are more successful.

veteranstoday--2020-10-02--How Russia Challenged the NWO–Interview with Prof. Edward Lozansky

Edward Lozansky is president of the American University in Moscow and Professor of National Research Nuclear University .
He has written numerous articles in newspapers and journals such as The Nations , The Washington Times , etc .
He is the author of Building U.S.-Russia Bridges .
I have said in the past that the New World Order ’ s enduring legacy is contempt for morality and what Immanuel Kant calls practical reason in the comprehensible universe , which was created by what Aristotle calls the Unmoved Mover .
We are still working with the same definition in this article @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your take on Vladimir Putin , and do you think politicians in the West , particularly politicians in the United States , misrepresent him ?
EL : When Vladimir Putin became president in 2001 he repeated his predecessor ’ s earlier proposals for Russia ’ s integration with the West and even a U.S.-Russia alliance , and proved it not just with words , but with deeds , by offering more help to the U.S. operation in Afghanistan than all the NATO allies combined .
I recall that at that time during our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Member of Congress after another exclaimed that finally we have our man in the Kremlin .
As a sign of “ gratitude ” George W. Bush repaid Putin with the unilateral abrogation of the ABM treaty , the Iraq invasion , the promotion of color revolutions in post-Soviet areas , and continuing NATO expansion , including Georgia and Ukraine on his wish list .
This was a red line that Putin could not allow to be crossed , as he indicated in his February 10 , 2007 Munich speech , when he accused @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that it needs only vassals , not allies .
This speech became the watershed line for many in Washington who denounced Putin as the top U.S. enemy .
Some like Hillary Clinton , historian Paul Johnson and obviously mainstream media even compared him with Adolf Hitler without realizing that this rhetoric may lead us to the most dangerous military confrontation between the two nuclear superpowers .
JEA : Alexander Solzhenitsyn was a great admirer of Vladimir Putin , and the West has universally admired Solzhenitsyn .
Solzhenitsyn made it very clear that Russia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as the leader .
The West never challenged Solzhenitsyn on his view on Putin .
Isn ’ t there an implicit contradiction here ?
EL : Solzhenitsyn is a Giant that even the most anti-Putin and Russophobic politicians and journalists do not dare to criticize so they just ignore his statements .
Unfortunately the double standards have already become a routine feature in our daily life .
JEA : Do you think Russia did make the right move in Syria ?
It was obviously a tactical and strategic success that allowed the establishment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and contributed to the defeat of ISIS ( Trump keeps saying that he did this all by himself ) but in the Middle East it is hard to predict the long term results .
Whatever we might think of the current Syrian regime it is still recognized by the UN and Russia went to Syria on its invitation which means it was done legally and in accordance with international law .
At the same time one can not say the same about US involvement which many agree that it was a direct violation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ similar previous violations in Iraq and Libya .
JEA : John J. Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago wrote an article in 2014 arguing that “ the Ukraine crisis is the West ’ s fault.
” Were you aware of Mearsheimer ’ s arguments ?
And Did you agree with his premise ?
EL : Here I want to quote my article on this subject printed about the same time in the Washington Times .
Here are some of the insights from the article : 1991 – 2014 — As a result of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 15 former republics became the newly independent states , Ukraine among them .
Free from the communist yoke , having strong industrial and agricultural sectors , a favorable climate and fertile land , Ukraine had great potential to become one of the most prosperous European countries .
That is , if its leadership had chosen a political course that took into account the country ’ s centuries-old economic , family , cultural and religious ties with Russia .
Effective anti-corruption reforms , a certain level of autonomy for the regions with large Russian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neutral status with no membership in any military blocs would have made Ukraine if not a new Switzerland then definitely a happy and prosperous state .
There would be no civil war and Donbass and Crimea would still be a part of Ukraine .
However , some inside and outside forces had a different agenda which resulted in the current tragedy , loss of life and territory , radical nationalism on the rise , economic devastation , millions of skilled workers forced to leave the country in search of manual jobs in foreign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
There were some hopes that the new Ukrainian president Zelensky might find the road to peace by honoring and implementing the so-called Minsk accord that was approved by the UN Security Council but as it turned out he is too weak to resist inside and outside forces who are not interested in this process .
The list of those responsible for this tragedy is long but I ’ d limit it to outside players who believed that they knew better what Ukrainians need .
The foreign ministers of Sweden and Poland , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up with the European Economic Association scheme which promised huge benefits to Ukraine on condition that it broke its economic ties with Russia .
It is obvious that this scheme had nothing to do with bringing prosperity to the Ukrainian people .
The logical way for that would have been a trilateral agreement between the EU , Russia and Ukraine whereby the latter could enjoy the benefits from dealing and friendship with all sides .
However , the interests of the Ukrainian people were the last thing on the minds of Bildt and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other anti-Russia forces in the West who pushed the corrupt but democratically elected Ukrainian president Yanukovich to sign the EU Association agreement and then supported the coup against him when he delayed doing it without revisions to ease negative impacts on Ukraine .
Many American and European politicians and public figures took active parts both with words and deeds on behalf of coup plotters .
Some like Vice President Joe Biden and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland went as far as appointing the candidates of their choice for the key positions in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ way Washington and Brussels presented the story is that they have been trying to promote freedom , democracy and other precious Western values in Ukraine while the evil Putin used all possible covert and overt actions to prevent Ukraine ’ s integration with Europe .
Moscow ’ s version is understandably quite different .
The most important Western objective was and still is to weaken Russia geopolitically and economically , to encroach upon Russia ’ s territorial boundaries through NATO expansion and to undermine its influence in the post-Soviet space .
Unfortunately , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that the end of the Ukrainian tragedy is close but I wish my former compatriots well and hope that they will find the way out of this crisis by taking the responsibility for their fate and the fate of their country into their own hands .
JEA : Stephen F. Cohen has just passed away , and he was indeed one of the most important scholars on the relation between Russia and much of the West .
Do you see other scholars taking Cohen ’ s mantle and challenge the mass social media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Russia ?
EL : Stephen F. Cohen was another Giant who I compared with Andrei Sakharov – a well known Soviet nuclear scientist , turned dissident and Nobel Peace Laureate .
I had the honor to be Steve ’ s friend and partner for our cause to promote US-Russia rapprochement that would benefit both our nations and mankind .
At this point I do not see anyone capable and ready to take his mantle but we desperately need such person or even a movement to prevent what some distinguished people like Secretary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Defense William Perry , Senator Sam Nunn and over 100 prominent American experts in their Open letter in Politico – sleepwalking into nuclear catastrophe .
Here is the link to this letter and my reply in the Washington Times .
Within the context of a speedily devolving geopolitical roller coaster ride shaped by renewed Cold War era hostilities , an Aug. 5 Politico open letter authored by 103 American foreign policy experts calling for a reset to U.S.-Russia relations appeared to be just what the doctors of reason prescribed .
Admittedly , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Time to Rethink our Russia Policy , ” appeared to start off on the right step .
The authors began with an acknowledgement that “ U.S.-Russia relations are at a dead end ” and that “ the risk of a military confrontation that could go nuclear is real again ” and “ we believe that a careful dispassionate analysis and change of our current course are imperative.
” All points were very apt and true .
At the same time , the letter as a whole was surely lacking in any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that ’ s so desperately needed .
This failure in thinking was made quickly visible when the authors asserted that all the blame for the sad state of affairs can be pointed toward Russia , which , the letter claims , “ challenges our role as a global leader and the world order we helped build ” and “ interferes in our domestic policies to exacerbate divisions and tarnish our democratic reputation.
” These days , this kind of introduction might be a must to avoid appearing on Vladimir Putin ’ s stooges @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a “ serious and sustained strategic dialogue with Moscow.
” Still , it ’ s not the best invitation to a serious conversation .
An additional problem for me is that some of the signers are my friends and colleagues , and I hope they will not take my criticism personally .
First and foremost , before any trust-based dialogue can truly begin , it must be admitted that , while Russia is definitely no angel , America should share the blame for the new Cold War that Ronald Reagan , George H.W @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the end .
To begin with , take a look at the hot wars in the Middle East and North African nations that are smoldering under the rubble of “ democracy-building ” operations and military-led regime changes .
Is that what the authors meant by “ our role as a global leader and the world order we helped build ” ?
Compared with the devastating results of such global leadership meticulously presented in the “ Cost of War ” report by the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs of Brown University all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so frightening .
The authors of the letter repeat the standard list of these misdeeds that Washington used to impose an avalanche of U.S. sanctions , but ignore the opinions of well-known Western experts who disprove many of these accusations .
Take , for example , Russia ’ s hacking of the DNC servers .
Former NSA Director Bill Binney has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the data from these servers were downloaded onto a thumb drive internally but not hacked from the outside .
Besides , since no one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the stolen materials published on Wikileaks , it is most likely that the culprit was a whistleblower who wanted to disclose mega-corruption practices taking place at the DNC .
As for the Skripals ’ poisoning , there is a long list of experts , like a former British Ambassador Craig Murray who spent a lot of time researching this case and pointed to possible other non-Russian perpetrators of this crime .
A recent Austrian government investigation came to the same conclusion .
It is now well known that Christopher Steele ’ s discredited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Clinton Campaign/DNC/British Intelligence/Brookings institution collusion .
But people close to the Kremlin have continued to be blamed anyway .
Unfortunately , all these facts have been largely ignored by the authors but , nonetheless , they should be commended for at least recognizing the present danger and calling for some specific actions like signing a new START treaty , starting a new phase of arms-control discussions and preserving the Open Skies treaty .
They could have gone further in that regard , though by including New Silk Road infrastructure projects across Asia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ East , where the Arab and African worlds are crying out for reconstruction , long-term planning , stability and hope .
Space exploration and lunar/Mars resource mining also provide a fruitful field of creative discovery and are embodied brilliantly in NASA ’ s Artemis Accords , which call for international partnerships while keeping space free of military affairs .
The Arctic remains a final frontier on Earth which both Russians and Chinese are intent on developing via Mr. Putin ’ s Eastern Development Strategy and the Polar Silk Road .
Other policies of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Silk Road , ” new energy breakthroughs , climate change mitigation such as massive scale tree-planting already pledged by President Trump and more await America ’ s participation alongside Russia and China , which have restated their view that the multipolar system is open to all participants .
The quality of thinking needed to attain these goals requires a courageous embrace of uncomfortable truths that acknowledge both America ’ s errors and misdeeds in recent years .
It also means abandoning grandiose unipolar ambitions in favor of genuine American national interests .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less on Cold War “ deterrence ” or “ balance of power diplomacy ” and more on points of mutual interest and win-win cooperation .
Finally , in the absence of U.S.-Russia government dialogue it is important at least to have such dialogue between foreign policy experts and scholars from both sides .
As ironic as it may sound , it was the COVID-19 pandemic that prompted important online discussions that do not require travel , visas and , no less important , money .
The only things we need are people ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time .
My message to all 103 American signers of the letter : Do not wait for the government ; use public diplomacy , identify Russian experts who are willing to talk , break into interest groups and start building a positive agenda for U.S.- Russia relations .
Please do it soon — before Doomsday arrives .

Edward Lozansky is president of the American University in Moscow and Professor of National Research Nuclear University. He has written numerous articles in newspapers and journals such as The Nations, The Washington Times, etc. He is the author of Building U.S.-Russia Bridges.
I have said in the past that the New World Order’s enduring legacy is contempt for morality and what Immanuel Kant calls practical reason in the comprehensible universe, which was created by what Aristotle calls the Unmoved Mover. We are still working with the same definition in this article here.
JEA: What’s your take on Vladimir Putin, and do you think politicians in the West, particularly politicians in the United States, misrepresent him?
EL: When Vladimir Putin became president in 2001 he repeated his predecessor’s earlier proposals for Russia’s integration with the West and even a U.S.-Russia alliance, and proved it not just with words, but with deeds, by offering more help to the U.S. operation in Afghanistan than all the NATO allies combined. I recall that at that time during our annual US-Russia Forums on Capitol Hill one Member of Congress after another exclaimed that finally we have our man in the Kremlin.
As a sign of “gratitude” George W. Bush repaid Putin with the unilateral abrogation of the ABM treaty, the Iraq invasion, the promotion of color revolutions in post-Soviet areas, and continuing NATO expansion, including Georgia and Ukraine on his wish list.
This was a red line that Putin could not allow to be crossed, as he indicated in his February 10, 2007 Munich speech, when he accused America of hegemonic behavior and bitterly stated that it needs only vassals, not allies.
This speech became the watershed line for many in Washington who denounced Putin as the top U.S. enemy. Some like Hillary Clinton, historian Paul Johnson and obviously mainstream media even compared him with Adolf Hitler without realizing that this rhetoric may lead us to the most dangerous military confrontation between the two nuclear superpowers.
JEA: Alexander Solzhenitsyn was a great admirer of Vladimir Putin, and the West has universally admired Solzhenitsyn. Solzhenitsyn made it very clear that Russia is in a better shape with Putin as the leader. The West never challenged Solzhenitsyn on his view on Putin. Isn’t there an implicit contradiction here?
EL: Solzhenitsyn is a Giant that even the most anti-Putin and Russophobic politicians and journalists do not dare to criticize so they just ignore his statements. Unfortunately the double standards have already become a routine feature in our daily life.
JEA: Do you think Russia did make the right move in Syria?
It was obviously a tactical and strategic success that allowed the establishment of the military base in the Mediterranean and contributed to the defeat of ISIS (Trump keeps saying that he did this all by himself) but in the Middle East it is hard to predict the long term results.
Whatever we might think of the current Syrian regime it is still recognized by the UN and Russia went to Syria on its invitation which means it was done legally and in accordance with international law. At the same time one cannot say the same about US involvement which many agree that it was a direct violation of such law in line with the similar previous violations in Iraq and Libya.
JEA: John J. Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago wrote an article in 2014 arguing that “the Ukraine crisis is the West’s fault.” Were you aware of Mearsheimer’s arguments? And Did you agree with his premise?

Here are some of the insights from the article:
1991 – 2014 — As a result of Soviet Union’s collapse, its 15 former republics became the newly independent states, Ukraine among them. Free from the communist yoke, having strong industrial and agricultural sectors, a favorable climate and fertile land, Ukraine had great potential to become one of the most prosperous European countries. That is, if its leadership had chosen a political course that took into account the country’s centuries-old economic, family, cultural and religious ties with Russia.
Effective anti-corruption reforms, a certain level of autonomy for the regions with large Russian ethnic population, two state languages and neutral status with no membership in any military blocs would have made Ukraine if not a new Switzerland then definitely a happy and prosperous state. There would be no civil war and Donbass and Crimea would still be a part of Ukraine.
However, some inside and outside forces had a different agenda which resulted in the current tragedy, loss of life and territory, radical nationalism on the rise, economic devastation, millions of skilled workers forced to leave the country in search of manual jobs in foreign lands to survive and support their families.
There were some hopes that the new Ukrainian president Zelensky might find the road to peace by honoring and implementing the so-called Minsk accord that was approved by the UN Security Council but as it turned out he is too weak to resist inside and outside forces who are not interested in this process.
The list of those responsible for this tragedy is long but I’d limit it to outside players who believed that they knew better what Ukrainians need. The foreign ministers of Sweden and Poland, Carl Bildt and Radek Sikorski, came up with the European Economic Association scheme which promised huge benefits to Ukraine on condition that it broke its economic ties with Russia. It is obvious that this scheme had nothing to do with bringing prosperity to the Ukrainian people.
The logical way for that would have been a trilateral agreement between the EU, Russia and Ukraine whereby the latter could enjoy the benefits from dealing and friendship with all sides.

Here’s Professor Lozansky’s response:

All points were very apt and true. At the same time, the letter as a whole was surely lacking in any principled understanding of causality or functional solution that’s so desperately needed. This failure in thinking was made quickly visible when the authors asserted that all the blame for the sad state of affairs can be pointed toward Russia, which, the letter claims, “challenges our role as a global leader and the world order we helped build” and “interferes in our domestic policies to exacerbate divisions and tarnish our democratic reputation.”

The Arctic remains a final frontier on Earth which both Russians and Chinese are intent on developing via Mr. Putin’s Eastern Development Strategy and the Polar Silk Road.
