  • The Western Gulags are coming

    What started in Russia is surelly coming to America and all of the West. General Wesley Clark has confirmed that those opposing the US government will have to be put away, and you don’t have to be an ISIS (which is a CIA invention) terrorist, the simple thing of trying to live a Christian life will suffice, as this will put you at odds with the ungodly political authorities (which you are asked to obey unconditionally) that are promoting homosexuality, adultery and every possible abomination as social norm.

    Studying of the Lives of the Orthodox Saints is more relevant today than ever. What is happening today is nothing new and True Christianity has always gone through difficult times and persecutions. It is no different this time.

  • “The Deal”

    Greece has apparently reached a “deal”. A far worse deal than anyone could have imagined, much worse than troika’s initial “offer”. How did we get here? It is a complete plundering of a nation. Not only has Mr Tsipras failed to secure “a better negotiating position” by encouraging a “NO” vote at the referendum, but he has also managed to forfeit a vast amount of Greece’s national assets just to get a new bailout. It certainly looks like a setup, as we have stated before.

    “Perhaps the toughest condition for Tsipras to swallow was Germany’s insistence that Greek state assets worth up to 50 billion euros be placed in a trust fund beyond government reach to be sold off with proceeds going directly to pay down debt.”

    http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/07/13/us-eurozone-greece-idUSKBN0P40EO20150713

    The circumstances under which the new deal was pushed through are very familiar – they are the same as those under which various important pieces of legislation were pushed through in the US with, like the Stimulus Bill, Obamacare, etc: push everyone to the limit until they just give in, make all decisions in a haste and get everyone to vote before the reality sets in. The EU now wants the Greek Parliament to urgently vote in support of the deal, stressing it is imperative they vote now, or else … Same old tactic of intimidation and terror.

    How long is this charade going to go for? The intended result, as we have shown before, is to push all nations, all peoples, to the point of total desperation, so that as soon as a liberator appears, everyone flocks to him – Liberation Theology at work.

    In the meantime the banks in Greece shall maintain their capital controls and cash withdrawals limits for weeks or months to come. The ordinary Greek will be worse off and unable to access their lifetime savings, or pensions. What kind of hope is there left other than a true repentance and a genuine return to True Orthodoxy and to Christ, the comforter of the poor, the provider of all good things?

  • Is The Pope the Antichrist?

    Short answer: No!

    Some ideas stemming from the perverted understanding of the End Times of the Apostate West are trying to suggest the Pope may be the antichrist.

    http://www.barnhardt.biz/2015/07/09/it-is-now-appropriate-to-begin-serious-discussions-as-to-whether-pope-francis-is-in-fact-the-antichrist/

    Instead, the Pope better resembles the False Prophet, who has come to preach a new doctrine, a new teaching: Liberation Theology, to herald the dawn of a new era of “peace and justice”.

    The truth about the Pope’s efforts of trying to bring about this spiritualized form of Marxism in a very subtle way, are sometimes shown plainly and clearly to the whole world by people that are “over-enthusiastic” about the prospects of seeing their struggle of a lifetime materialize:

    http://www.theage.com.au/world/communist-crucifix-puts-pope-francis-on-the-spot-20150709-gi95l0

    The Pope is merely the voice that was chosen to herald the new era, but behind it is rallying the whole World Orthodoxy, as shown by non other than the Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch Batholomew, who admits that the Synod of 2016 is about consecrating the unity in the face of iniquity in spite of doctrinal differences, and who’s agenda bears striking resemblance to the Pope’s long awaited September 2015 encyclical, which will become doctrine of the Catholic Church.

    https://www.patriarchate.org/la-civilta-cattolica

    “This Synod will, as you rightly observe, be a vital sign of unity among our Orthodox Churches at a time when our world demands a unified response to its critical challenges … The suffering of people in every corner of our planet today; the abuse of religion for political and other secular purposes; the difficulties facing Christians all over the world, and particularly in the areas where the Christian Church was born and grew up, regardless of confessional identities; the injustices inflicted on the weak members of contemporary societies; and the alarming ecological crisis which threatens the integrity and the very survival of God’s creation – all these call for common action and the solution of the problems still dividing us.”

  • The Pope calls for a new economic and ecological order

    The Pope is relentless in pushing his Liberation Theology agenda, otherwise known as Christian Communism or Spiritual Marxism. On this subject we wrote numerous articles, please take a little time to read them if haven’t already.

    The greatest iniquity the world has seen, the financial collapse due to bankers greed, is about to hit, and soon these forces of darkness will take over the world and ask everyone to bow down to the communist beast, in the name of “peace and justice”. The time is short, the urgency has never been more dire.

  • Why Greece crisis won’t end well

    Greece should have said NO to Europe a long time ago. Now Greece seems to be have been set up and sacrificed on the altar of the “unity in face of the iniquity” plan. The entire Orthodoxy is being pushed into the arms of Mr Vladimir Putin, and the unanimity for next years Pan-Orthodox synod is virtually assured.

    With each passing day, the economic hit on Greece seems to look worse and worse. Mr Varoufakis, resigned on “the morning after”, having been the strongest supporter for the “NO” vote. About Mr Varoufakis we raised the alarm in the past as he seemed to be linked to George Soros.

    As Angela Merkel has just toughened her stance and gave Greece a Sunday “judgement day” deadline …

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-07/merkel-just-turned-screws-greece-there-money-deal-much-harsher-now-and-no-debt-hairc

    … damage control is already under way …

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-07/greferendum-shocker-tsipras-intended-lose-and-now-trapped-his-success

    This is certainly looking more and more like a setup.

    What nobody seems to stress at this point is that the crisis may have passed the point from where it can recover. Even if an agreement is reached and banks are re-opened, is there going to be one Greek who will trust to leave his money in the Greek banks a minute after they are open? The moneys available for withdrawal would disappear from the banks in a few days at best.

  • Metropolitan Hilarion confirms “historic meeting” is on the near future agenda

    It becomes very clear that a Russian Patriarchate is only waiting for the “right time” to bring forth the “well prepared” for, “historic moment”. When might this be? Maybe when the whole world is in complete chaos due to widespread economic collapse – then the urgency of unity in face of iniquity (financial) may far outbalance any “technical issues”.

    “Now such a meeting is getting closer every day but it must be well prepared,” Metropolitan Hilarion, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church’s foreign relations department, said in an interview with Italy’s Corriere della Sera newspaper.

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/historic-meeting-between-pope-francis-and-russian-orthodox-head-getting-closer-10352898.html

    “If such a meeting does take place, it will be historic in nature, therefore the process of preparing key issues relating to bilateral relations between our churches should be thoroughly tackled so that the meeting would be fruitful to the utmost instead of being a purely protocol event.”

  • Unity in face of iniquity?

    What is it going to take to make people see the deception behind unity in face of iniquity? Some might say this is not about ecclesiastical unification but some strategic alliance in the face of evil … is it really about that?

    This is the question every Orthodox Christian will have to address and have an answer for himself, and the answer will decide where he stands before the throne of judgement.

    http://mospat.ru/en/2015/06/26/news120628/

    “On June 26, 2015, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the Moscow Patriarchate department for external church relations (DECR) met with the Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin. They exchanged opinions on a wide range of issues including relations between the Orthodox and the Catholics in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The DECR chairman shared impressions of his recent visit to Belarus in a delegation that accompanied His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia and expressed satisfaction with the positive development of Orthodox-Catholic relations in that country. They agreed on the need for closer cooperation between the two Churches in seeking a peaceful settlement of the situation in eastern Ukraine and giving aid to those who need it. Special attention was given to the situation in the Middle East where the blood of Christians is spilt and the humanitarian disaster has reached an unprecedented scale. On the same day the DECR chairman met with the President of the Pontifical Council for the Family, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia. They discussed a wide range of issues concerning the common responsibility of the Orthodox and the Catholics in defending the traditional family. Archbishop Vincezo invited Metropolitan Hilarion to take part in the Congress of Families to take place in Philadelphia, USA, in September 2015 …”

  • Why Greece Matters

    In previus articles we made a statement in which we linked the situation in Greece with the judgement America (and all those that fornicate with her) affirmed upon herself. Let us therefore say a few things about why we believe it to be so, and present some more evidence.

    Lets start with the evidence:

    The IMF admits Greece can’t pay their debt:

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-02/imf-bolsters-greek-no-vote-says-country-needs-debt-haircut

    And everyone understands they can’t:

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-02/nsa-leak-reveals-both-merkel-and-schauble-saw-greek-debt-unsustainable-even-after-ha

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-02/finally-truth-greek-debt-so-big-everyone-understands-it-won’t-be-repaid

    Yet the elite still insist they want things done their way, and stand ready to do whatever it takes to make sure Greece is subdued:

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-02/eu-parliament-president-tells-greecetime-another-puppet-government

    But BRICS are showing Greece they have a way out, without having to suffer at the hand of the crooked bankers.

    Both China:
    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-02/russia-gets-involved-tells-europe-respect-greek-choice

    And Russia:
    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-02/china-state-official-hints-beijing-may-bailout-greece

    Both Russia and China have hinted that the debt slavery of Greece could end, without having Greece completely destroyed. And now Mr Tsipras is on a mission to convince the greeks that they need to vote NO in the referendum, saying “he could quickly secure a better deal with creditors if his nation rebuffed their previous demands in Sunday’s referendum”. So Mr Tsipras knows he has an ace in his sleeve.

    The surprising admission on the IMF part may look like an act of sabotage to the efforts of the EU to blackmail Greece, but that may be intentional. In reality the elite do want to get Greece jump into BRICS’ arms and trigger the American/European debt slavery system to start to unravel.

    Although this will make BRICS look like the liberators of humanity from under the oppression of the West, in reality it is another deception and part of the same plan of uniting all forces of society against the iniquities of the West, specifically representing the political face of this plan (the spiritual face has already been presented in our numerous articles).

    Greece may still vote YES at the referendum and bow down before the EU master yet again, but the sign has been given: one way or another, God’s judgement on the West is drawing near!

    One thing we have great fears about is the elite are not going to give in without a war, as war will indeed convince people to take BRICS’ side.

    Please remember, nothing is what is seems …

  • Fleeing The Abomination of Desolation

    The homosexual abomination is now unstoppable, coming to stand in the holy place of marriage everywhere, yet people are still hoping things can be reversed. Unfortunately things can’t be reversed and they will only go from bad to worse, for it is written: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” (Matthew 24:35)

    What shall we then do? The wisdom of God shows us: FLEE. “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains.”(Matthew 24:15-16)

    To understand this warning, let us look what Judaea is in the context of today’s world. The ancient kingdom of Israel was split in two: Samaria – the northern part of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, also known as the Northern Kingdom, and Judea the southern part of the ancient Kingdom of Judah, also known as the Southern Kingdom. Judaea was always considered to be those of the true faith, where Samaria the rogue faith. The life of recently celebrated Holy Prophet Amos (8th century BC – 15/28 June) is a living testimony to this struggle between the right and wrong understanding.

    As in many cases, the meaning of the Word in the Bible is not to be always taken literally, and the Holy Fathers of Orthodoxy have always striven to make this point understood. In the particular passage in the Bible we referred to above, Judaea should not be taken necessarily only as stated, but should be understood also as referring to those still of the True Faith, who are warned to flee, not necessarily physically, but spiritually as well.

    The world is about to start entering its darkest period in history. The day America announced her regretful decision to support gay marriage, the sign of the divine judgement has been shown: Greece announced that it will default financially. This moment marks the point at which the american owned world financial system shall enter a period of rapid deterioration, leading to its complete demise in a short period of time. What was providentially heralded to the world by the destruction of America’s iconic financial buildings on 9/11, is now coming to fulfillment.

    Going forward we should expect great chaos and division. These iniquities, moral, financial or of any other nature, are only going to polarize and exacerbate the hatred of brother against brother, and will inevitably lead to the last revolution – that which will bring about the antichrist. In this war, a common front shall form (and we can already see it), spiritual in nature, that will unite all, in spite of doctrinal differences, in order to denounce and oppose these iniquities, which will be the fulfillment of the ecumenist dream and struggle of centuries.

    Therefore it is time to FLEE! Flee from deception, flee from the wisdom of this world, flee from false interpretations of the end times, flee from the coming financial repression, flee from the coming impious revolution, flee from sin and earthly attachments, and hide yourself in the cave of your heart and you own home together with Christ, where you may still be able to preserve your Orthodoxy, until lawlessness has passed. Flee to a high mountain where they cannot reach and drag you down, flee to a mountain where you are alone and can find peace. Flee.

  • The coming cashless society

    The current financial system is being brought down and a new one shall emerge. In the new system, there will be no more cash, as this will prevent any bank runs in the future (they will argue), like it is currently happening in Greece. Money will be in a digital form only.

    But before this new system comes in full force, the current one needs to be brought down just like in a controlled demolition and with a lot of pain so people will accept it – we were hinted at how this was going to happen with the controlled demolition that happened on 9/11 to the buildings that were representative of the current financial system.

    And here we are, watching the unraveling crisis in Greece and wondering where it is all going. Most of us may not understand what is currently unfolding, and what is at stake, since they have managed to desensitize us over the last 14 years by promoting a continuous state of crisis, terror and fear, telling us it was the new normal. They have tried to numb us hoping that what is happening today will be met with a shrug on our side. They have killed our sense of urgency, and now is when is most important to have it. The global financial house of cards is soon to fall.
