DoomsdaysCW<p>From 2017...</p><p>"The rhetoric of a looming civilizational war has proved persistent. Recent years have seen religious leaders from both the American Christian community and the Russian Orthodox community coming together to bemoan the decline of traditional values. One example is the 2015 Moscow meeting between <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PatriarchKirill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PatriarchKirill</span></a>, the head of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RussianOrthodoxChurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RussianOrthodoxChurch</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FranklinGraham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FranklinGraham</span></a>, son of the evangelist <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BillyGraham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BillyGraham</span></a>. The Patriarch lamented to Graham how, after decades of inspiring underground believers in the Soviet Union with its defense of religious freedom, the West has abandoned the shared 'common Christian moral values' that are the bedrock of a universal 'Christian civilization.'</p><p>"But even as Bannon and various religious leaders seek to pit the values of Christianity against those of Islam, there is also an internal competition to decide who gets to define Christian <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/traditionalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>traditionalism</span></a>. Two of the main players in this competition, American Christian traditionalists — including conservative Catholics like Bannon as well as evangelicals like Franklin Graham — and Russian Orthodox, are united in their desire to save Christendom from the perceived threat of radical Islam. But buried underneath that superficial agreement is a complex disagreement as to what Christendom even means.</p><p>"In Bannon’s telling, the greatest mistake the baby boomers made was to reject the traditional 'Judeo-Christian' values of their parents. He considers this a historical crime, because in his telling it was Judeo-Christian values that enabled Western Europe and the United States to defeat European fascism, and, subsequently, to create an '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnlightenedCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnlightenedCapitalism</span></a>' that made America great for decades after World War II. The enormous amount of media attention he has received and his various interviews, talks, and documentaries strongly suggest that he believes the world is on the verge of disaster—and that without Judeo-Christianity, the American culture war cannot be won, enlightened capitalism cannot function, and 'Islamic fascism' cannot be defeated.<br> <br>"This is where Bannon invokes the 'Russian traditionalism' of Vladimir <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Putin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Putin</span></a>, and it’s important to recognize why he does so. In his 2014 Vatican talk, Bannon made it clear that Putin is 'playing very strongly to U.S. social conservatives about his message about more traditional values.' As a recent Atlantic essay convincingly argues, upon his return to office in 2012, Putin realized that 'large patches of the West despised <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/feminism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>feminism</span></a> and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GayRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GayRights</span></a> movement.' Seizing the opportunity, he transformed himself into the 'New World Leader of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Conservatism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Conservatism</span></a>' whose traditionalism would offer an alternative to the libertine West that had long shunned him."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2017/03/steve-bannon-american-evangelicals-russian-orthodox/519900/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theatlantic.com/international/</span><span class="invisible">archive/2017/03/steve-bannon-american-evangelicals-russian-orthodox/519900/</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/BndXk" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/BndXk</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewWorldOrder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewWorldOrder</span></a>? <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGADeathCult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAGADeathCult</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoFacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoFacists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProFamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProFamily</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalFamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalFamily</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TradWives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TradWives</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiGay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiGay</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiAbortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiAbortion</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ROC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ROC</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Evangelicals</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Oligarchs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oligarchs</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiWoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiWoke</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpIsARussianAsset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIsARussianAsset</span></a></p>

At an annual meeting of journalists and academics presided over by Vladimir <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Putin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Putin</span></a> in Valdai in September, the Russian president said that European countries had strayed from their roots by legalizing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GayMarriage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GayMarriage</span></a>. He urged Russians to embrace the conservative values of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OrthodoxChurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OrthodoxChurch</span></a> and other traditional religions and issued a warning to those who might want to challenge those values. 'Russia’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity are unconditional—these are red lines no one is allowed to cross,' he declared.</p><p>"Several <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBT</span></a> rights groups have been targeted under another new law, which requires any nongovernmental organization that receives funding from other countries for political activities to register as a '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ForeignAgent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ForeignAgent</span></a>.' Failure to do so can lead to investigations, legal action or crippling fines. The implication is that these groups are not only agents of the West but also out of touch with everyday Russians.</p><p>"The irony is that it is the new conservative vanguard—anti-gay, anti-abortion and pro–'<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalFamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalFamily</span></a>'—that has most successfully cultivated the West’s financial and institutional support. Scott Lively, an extreme anti-gay campaigner, all but took credit for the new law, calling it 'one of the proudest achievements of my career,' while <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrianBrown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BrianBrown</span></a>, president of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalOrganizationForMarriage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NationalOrganizationForMarriage</span></a>, visited Moscow with much fanfare just before the new law was passed. But the language of Russia’s anti-gay and anti-abortion movement seems to borrow most heavily from mainstream evangelicals and conservative politicians in the United States and Europe. Referring to the anti-abortion bill passed in 2011, Lyubov Erofeeva, executive director of the Russian Association for Population and Development, a women’s advocacy group, said: 'It was 100 percent clear that everything was copied from the experience of American <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fundamentalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fundamentalists</span></a> and conservative circles of several European countries where <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/abortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>abortion</span></a> is forbidden or restricted severely.'</p><p>"The church’s close ties with American evangelicals reflect a shift in policy. For much of the post-Soviet period, the Russian Orthodox Church held evangelical denominations at arm’s length, fearing that they would compete for influence within Russia. But as the church has consolidated its power, it has come to view the evangelical community as a partner. 'The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ROC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ROC</span></a> realizes that the evangelical denominations are not their opponents but rather their allies in the relations between the church and the secular population,' says Olga Kazmina, a professor of ethnology at Moscow State University. </p><p>" 'It’s a re-envisioned paradigm,' says Father <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LeonidKishkovsky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LeonidKishkovsky</span></a>, head of the Orthodox Church in America’s Department of External Affairs. In many ways, it makes sense, he adds: both religious groups share an ideological commitment and have grown disillusioned with the way mainline churches have dealt with issues like gay marriage and abortion. 'But what I’m quite nervous about is the ideological core which actually motivates both sides,' Kishkovsky says. 'Where is the motivating force? Is it in faith? Or is it in political ideology?' </p><p>"The Russian Orthodox Church’s chief emissary to the US evangelical community is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HilarionAlfeyev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HilarionAlfeyev</span></a>, a high-ranking bishop and chairman of the powerful Department of External Church Relations (the position previously held by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PatriarchKirill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PatriarchKirill</span></a>). In February 2011, the 47-year-old Alfeyev traveled to Washington, where he met with prominent evangelical and 'pro-family' leaders; and then to Dallas, where he addressed thousands of members of the Highland Park Presbyterian Church and emphasized the importance of 'creat[ing] new alliances,' especially around issues of marriage, abortion and the family. Alfeyev also visited the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DallasTheologicalSeminary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DallasTheologicalSeminary</span></a> and had an hour-long meeting with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GeorgeWBush" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GeorgeWBush</span></a>. </p><p>"The trip to Dallas grew out of an increasingly close friendship between church leaders and a small circle of American and European Christian businessmen in Moscow. Alfeyev’s visit was organized by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JerryFullinwider" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JerryFullinwider</span></a>, an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OilExecutive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OilExecutive</span></a> and elder of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HighlandParkChurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HighlandParkChurch</span></a> who, until recently, had business interests in Russia. Fullinwider, a member of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KochBrothers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KochBrothers</span></a>’ circle of major donors—those who have given more than $1 million to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Koch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Koch</span></a>-related causes—met Alfeyev through his friend Bob Foresman, head of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Barclays" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Barclays</span></a> Capital in Russia. This select group of businessmen has unusual access to Alfeyev. In an interview for this article, Fullinwider described having dinner at Alfeyev’s private residence on a recent trip to Moscow. 'He’s a real busy guy,' says Fullinwider. 'He’s very, very hard to get in touch with unless you have a special number and you know the main guy who handles him, who’s a good friend of mine.' </p><p>"Alfeyev’s first trip to the United States paved the way for others, and in October 2012 he delivered a lecture at Villanova University, where he received an honorary degree and paid a visit to the Milwaukee-based <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LyndeAndHarryBradleyFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LyndeAndHarryBradleyFoundation</span></a>. One of the largest donor organizations of its kind in the United States, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BradleyFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BradleyFoundation</span></a>, with more than $600 million in assets, is known for its contributions to US conservative groups like the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HeritageFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HeritageFoundation</span></a> and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HeartlandInstitute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HeartlandInstitute</span></a>. But its charity isn’t limited to home: over the last four years, the foundation has given $750,000 to the St. Gregory the Theologian Charity Foundation in Moscow, a new educational and cultural initiative founded in 2009 by Alfeyev, Russian <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/billionaire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>billionaire</span></a> and pharmaceutical magnate <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VadimYakunin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VadimYakunin</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LeonidSevastianov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LeonidSevastianov</span></a>, a 35-year-old international business consultant and head of Stratinvest.ru, a consulting and public relations firm. In 2009, through Alfeyev’s charity, the Bradley Foundation donated $150,000 to support the 'Day of the Family,' a recently created Russian holiday honoring faith and fidelity. The annual event has been championed by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SvetlanaMedvedeva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SvetlanaMedvedeva</span></a>, wife of Prime Minister <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DmitriMedvedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DmitriMedvedev</span></a>, a staunch <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiAbortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiAbortion</span></a> advocate.</p><p>“We want to promote the idea of the unity between the West and Russia on the basis of common Christian roots,” Sevastianov told Inside the Vatican magazine in 2009. “We believe in this alliance among traditional Christian countries…and we believe that, with a united voice, we can be a strong force against the radical secular world which has become dominant in our societies.” </p><p><a href="https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/how-us-evangelicals-fueled-rise-russias-pro-family-right/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thenation.com/article/archive/</span><span class="invisible">how-us-evangelicals-fueled-rise-russias-pro-family-right/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TradFamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TradFamily</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TradWives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TradWives</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpIsARussianAsset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIsARussianAsset</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiWoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiWoke</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoFacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoFacists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>evangelicals</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RabidRight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RabidRight</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MAGADeathCult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAGADeathCult</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigOil</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Billionaires</span></a></p>

Yet [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CraigUnger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CraigUnger</span></a>]’s findings, presented in his books 'House of Trump, House of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Putin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Putin</span></a>' and '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanKompromat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanKompromat</span></a>,' outline a consistent chain of events stretching back more than 40 years.</p><p>"Soviet operatives, later replaced by Russian <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/oligarchs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchs</span></a>, funneled suspicious cash into Trump’s real estate deals and played upon his narcissistic vanity. Over time, the strategy shaped Trump’s worldview to align seamlessly with the Kremlin’s long-term interests. Today, Russia reaps enormous gains as the White House methodically undermines Western unity, weakening NATO, and eroding confidence among America’s most vital allies.</p><p>"The pattern was on full display during Trump’s U.N. address, where he castigated Ukraine for 'bringing its troubles on itself' and chided Europe for failing to 'handle its own backyard.'</p><p>"In those remarks, he reversed decades of bipartisan consensus that the United States should confront unprovoked aggression in Europe. Instead of backing a nation under siege, Trump effectively blamed Kyiv’s government for the devastation wrought by Russian firepower.</p><p>"Putin’s state media wasted no time broadcasting those segments, painting the U.S. president as an enlightened leader who recognizes the Kremlin’s alleged right to expand its sphere of influence.</p><p>"Unger’s new revelations sent shockwaves through Washington circles. Once portrayed by supporters as a patriotic firebrand, Trump now looks more like a Trojan horse carefully cultivated by Russian intelligence. The journalist’s interview with the Kyiv Independent highlighted key phases of infiltration: financial bailouts for Trump when U.S. banks shunned him, orchestrated praise from Russian figures, and direct contact with individuals linked to the KGB’s successor services.</p><p>"The result, Unger insisted, was a president whose foreign policy systematically furthers Moscow’s objectives — even if he never receives direct orders. In intelligence parlance, that is the very definition of an 'asset.'</p><p>"Those who scoff at the notion that a sitting U.S. president could be co-opted by a foreign power willfully ignore reams of evidence. Unger references KGB files showing that Soviet handlers identified Trump’s egotism and business desperation as exploitable weaknesses. They recognized that lavish deals, flattery, and carefully timed loans could bind him to Russian interests."</p><p>Read more:<br>https://www.acom/explainers/russian-asset-trumps-policy-behavior-confirms-evidence-groomed-kremlin-since-1980s/</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoFacists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoFacists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChistoFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChistoFascism</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RussianOrthodoxChurch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RussianOrthodoxChurch</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiGBLTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiGBLTQ</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiImmigrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiImmigrant</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gilead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gilead</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiWoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AntiWoke</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpIsARussianAsset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIsARussianAsset</span></a></p>

Graham later thanked the patriarch for the Russian Orthodox Church’s 'strong voice in the defense of moral values' and lauded Putin for defending biblical values 'from the attacks of secularism.'
