The St. Luke, the Wonderworker doctor from Krimea Humanity now in... By Monk Leontios Dionysiates St. Kosmas of Aetolia (Greece), equal to the Apostles, prophesied the following: Prophecy No. 108: “There will come a time when Christians will rise up against each other.” (1) Prophecy No. 48: “They will try to solve it [the conflict] with the pen, but will not be able: [They will solve it] 99 times with war and only once with the pen.” (1) Saint Kosmas (or Cosmas) Greek ancient city in Tavrida (Crimea): Τhe presidential flag of Russia since 1994 (Link). President Putin did not change it, even though he re- instated the Soviet anthem and the pentagram…! (2) - 1 - www.imdleo.gr Areas in the Ukraine with a population that supports Russia which rose up against the EU right, after the Western overthrow of the pro-Russian Ukrainian government. A strange co-existence. The Orthodox Christian double-headed eagle (podium) alongside Communist symbols and the Masonic pentagram! We had already noted this. Vladimir Putin cannot unite these irreconcilable symbols! They do not belong to merely opposite political camps but to opposing spiritual powers. (2) But this New World Order attitude is secular, and the arrangements it makes show that it is incapable of distinguishing between good and evil. They are all placed into the same category. Putin is a politician and so, we cannot expect much from him spiritually. However, events are unfolding and it is their spiritual dimension that concerns us, because the law is spiritual and it regulates the universe of rational beings (humans and angels). It is also that law (and not chance) which brings all to their positive or negative conclusion. In Crimea it seems that Putin’s Russia, an eastern superpower, is winning, while up until now it looked as though the Western superpower (America) was prevailing, given its “democratization” efforts in Africa and the Middle East with the help of large European interests. World governments are motivated by worldly concerns and not anything spiritual that they may be advertising. Their hypocrisy is an advanced evil, characteristic of our times and of our lack of spirituality. The Pope of Rome, ever falling away from the True Faith, is now the leader in hypocrisy. Left: Time magazine of March 25, 2013. Pope Francis I was proclaimed Person of the Year by Time magazine in 2013. What did he do? Nothing. He is simply being promoted as such. Even though he is portrayed in sheep’s clothing … he eats raw meat like a wolf! (video) Time magazine writes, “New World Pope” i.e. the “New World Order’s Pope”! There are portrayals of Pope Francis I in other magazines as well. The Pope blesses, with his presence in a rock magazine, bands with satanic lyrics … because the times are changing! - 2 - The Pope also “blessed” the peace in Ukraine as soon as the violent, western-orchestrated Maidan demonstrations began. However, as our ancient (Greek) ancestors would have said, the signs that followed the symbolic release of the two doves were not a good "omen" at all! 1st photo: Two children, each releasing one dove. 3rd photo: The other released dove is viciously attacked by a carrion crow. 2nd photo: One of the released doves is attacked by a seagull. The news of the disturbances in the Ukraine began to verify the bad omens arising from the incident with the doves. The pro-Russian government was overthrown on February 21, 2014 by Western-backed protesters, and a new government was installed. This action was not recognized as legal by the Russians. However, President Putin affirms that Crimea, in particular, is justified in its determination to secede from the Ukraine and to join with Russia. He maintains that Crimea is merely following the same strategy that the West considered legal concerning the secession of Kosovo from Serbia: “Our Western partners created a precedent in Kosovo by their own hand. In a situation exactly the same as that of Crimea, they recognized Kosovo’s secession from Serbia as legal, while agreeing that no permission from the [Serbian] central government was necessary for the unilateral proclamation of independence.” Putin added that the International Court of the United Nations agreed with those arguments. “This is what they wrote and announced to the entire world – and now, [in the case of Crimea] they protest. Why is this so?” he asks. <Link> Putin does not call the West “partners” simply to get on their good side as partners in the New World Order! He does so to remind them of their obligations towards that end, and recommends that they stop being “hysterical”, emphasizing that “Russia is an independent and active participant in international relations [i.e. Globalization]. And, as every other nation, it has national interests which must be considered and respected.” - 3 - www.imdleo.gr But superpowers do not consider smaller powers. They use their power to force their own will on others even if it is illegal to do so. Communists and far-right party members broke into a brawl in the Ukrainian parliament (April 8, 2014). What is new and more apparent in the Ukraine is that the conflict began now among Christians. Until now we have had, in other nations, conflicts between Muslims and Christians. It becomes more obvious that this will degenerate into a civil war, according to a prophecy, between Christians: “If the blonde race, along with the agents [satellite nations] confounds all of Ishmael take the Seven-hilled City [Constantinople], and receive its privileges [the strait of Bosporus, etc.], then, they will wage a savage civil war up until the fifth hour…” (3) Elder Joseph (from Vatopedi, Holy Mount) explains: “The blonde race, according to common opinion, advocate regarding this and the following prophecies which we shall mention, is Russia along with “its agents”, i.e. the satellite states… Since the battle will be between Christians and not between Christians and Muslims, it is referred to as a civil war, and its “savage” nature signifies the manic struggle for dominance. (3) And the “3-year old heifer” in St. Kosmas’ prophecy (1, 58th), that will swim in blood signifies, in a spiritual interpretation, the fragmentation amongst Christians. The apostate Christians of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Rome, now worshipping the “golden calf” or “heifer” (see Exodus) will enter into conflict with each other, not only economically but also militarily, with weapons. (4) Many regions around Constantinople have the name “Bous” (ox or calf). Another prophecy says: “The ox will shout and the Bald Hill will lament.” Moscow, (in Greek "Moscha" which reminds us of the calf), was the 3rd Rome but only politically because Constantinople fell, in 1453, having been led astray by its political leaders. In contrast, there were in Constantinople people of great stature who kept the Faith, such as St. Gennadios Scholarios, who was Ecumenical Patriarch after the City's fall. It is through them that Constantinople maintained its leadership role in matters of Orthodoxy. After the "civil war", the main part of World War III, there will be a re-lighting of Orthodoxy, centralized in Orthodox countries. The peace that arises from the re-lighting will give occasion for the last Ecumenical Council. But there will not be a 4th Rome, which is why we wrote: “Third Rome and End times.” (5). The circumstances are those of a “hot war” and thus more critical than those of the “cold war” period which arose after World War II. Accordingly, the calling of a Pan-Orthodox Council is too optimistic while the clouds of conflict are still looming - especially over Orthodox countries. But this is not only a matter of world peace. If God-loving governments, approved by the Orthodox peoples, is not re-established, then there will not be (possibly) any synodal decisions considered valid and free of political, pseudo-spiritual and other pressures. What is occurring now is that Western powers are enacting more and more laws that are opposed to God’s Laws. This is characteristic of the attitude which leads to Antichrist, exactly because it fights against Christ. The more that the Law of God is scorned, the more that demonic actions are strengthened. This is why the Dragon in the book of Revelations has ten horns: Its strength rests upon the trampling of the Ten Commandments: “The ten horns are the evils and intrigues of the devil, through which he wars and butts against God’s Ten Commandments.” (6) In 2009, the US President, Barack Obama, formally proclaimed June to be Lesbian- Gay-Bisexual-Transgender (LGBT) month! Excessive comfort is the mother of this kind of evil (emergence of all sorts of “sexualities”). But instead of helping poor people to have a better life, Obama dedicates a month to honour an advanced disorder of sleek people. It seems that he - 4 - himself has a … past! The European Union and the USA have raised homosexuality to the level of dogma. And so now, vices are being honoured instead of virtues! And yet we still ask ourselves ...when the Antichrist is coming! The Secretary of State, John Kerry, who belongs to the secret occultist society of “Skull and Bones”, wishes to apply pressure to the leaders of other countries to accept the new and progressive morality of the New World Order; in the following case, the president of Uganda. The Americans always act with their own interests in mind, but that which is not apparent is actually the most important to the New World Order: the war against the Ten Commandments! In this way, the devil transforms from an ant to a lion.

  • The Soviet Collapse and the Charm of Hindsight 75
    The Soviet Collapse and the Charm of Hindsight 75 Chapter 4 The Soviet Collapse and the Charm of Hindsight Rodric Braithwaite Those on the spot always get some things wrong: memory later be- trays them. Those who subsequently try to disentangle the story always miss part of the context. In politics, perceptions and emotions are as important as reason. The theme of what follows is that we cannot un- derstand the causes and consequences of the Soviet collapse unless we take every account of its deep roots in the past and the strong emotions that accompanied it. It is of course imprudent, or even impertinent, for foreigners to pontificate about how “most Russians” think or feel. But it is an essential part of the story. In this deliberately personal account I attempt to recreate how the collapse looked to me at the time and in the aftermath, drawing on a detailed diary, my reporting to London, and on later writings. I. How it Looked at the Time A Kind of Democracy Poland shows the way I witnessed two attempts to bring a kind of democracy to the com- munist world. The Polish experiment of the late 1950s and the Soviet experiment of the late 1980s are now largely forgotten or ignored. Both are significant for the history of the time, and for an understanding of the events of today. In October 1956 the Poles expelled their Soviet advisers, abolished the collective farms, allowed people to travel abroad, and gave a de- gree of freedom to the press. They were encouraged by Khrushchev’s denunciation of Stalin, and driven by a combination of patriotism, a 75 76 exiting the cold war, entering a new world liberal faction inside the Party, and an alliance between students and workers.

Tel: +90 212 398-0100, e-mail:[email protected]. Abstract- Crimea hosted princes and trained sultans for the rulers within the historical process and Crimea is an island which experienced wars of power and exiles. After the XVIIIth century, especially after the World War II, Demographic structure of the Crimea has been changed with exiles; mostly Russians and Ukrainians filled the places which were vacated by the Crimean Tatars. Peninsula which was presented to the Ukraine by the Khrushchev, sixty years ago without asking to the Crimea, “genetically modified” Crimea was recaptured by Putin with the so-called referendum. Within the process which led to the “Crimea Referendum” that is questioned in terms of legitimacy pursuant to national and international laws, Russia used “Green Men” to invade the Crimea which was formerly named as “Green Island”. Russia realized the enlargement of its soils for the first time after the Cold War with the hybrid warfare instead of conventional warfare. Russia made quite big acquisition with the outcome it achieved from the hybrid warfare which was conducted in a cost-effective manner and with less casualties, which cannot be compared with the conventional warfare. This article which examines the struggle of Crimean Tatars and reaction of West against this process and Russia, also events of Crimea at the second anniversary of the annexation of Crimea, constitutes a significance especially in terms of how the political outcomes of the hybrid warfare are effective especially on Crimea.

  • The War in the Orient in the Light of International Law: Part II
    THE WAR IN THE ORIENT IN THE LIGHT OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. PART II. From the Siberian seaport of Vladivostok the Russian cruiser squadron frequently sallied during the earlier part of the war, and did considerable damage to the Problame shipping of .Japan and of neutral nations as WarteSecting theAfo well. Thus, between February and May, 19o4, Belligerents =army. were sunk the Nakonoura Maru, Gozo Maru and Kinshiu Maru. The first two vessels were Japanese merchantmen, the last an army transport." The question at once presents itself as to the right of the Russians to dispense with the adjudication of a Prize Court as to the character of the cargoes carried by the captured ships, and to sink them out of hand. Wheaton says: " If the vessel belong to the enemy, and the captor has no means of retaining possession of her, or of bringing herinto port, he is then justified in destroying her, but it is his duty to preserve her papers and as much of her cargo as he can secure."' 1 And a little later the following interesting passage occurs anent the same subject: "During the Russo-Turkish war of 1877 the former'power (Russia) was alleged to have made a practice of sending out fast steamers from Odessa, which, while they avoided the Turkish cruisers, captured Turkish merchantren, burnt them on the spot, and then set the crews adrift in boats. If this was true, it was an undeniable vio- lation of international law." 48 One naturally wonders whether Russia has been pursuing tactics of this kind in the present war? It seems established, however, that the ships in question were sunk off the coast The Annual Register, 1904, page 376; War and Neutrality in The Far East, by T.
