The
demonically inspired fear and hatred of Russia in Washington City is continuing
to fester:
We
are not at all surprised, then, to find an American Supremacist like Mr William
Federer getting in on the action by continuing to slander the New Martyr
Gregory Rasputin:
Rasputin, described
as "The Holy Devil," moved to St. Petersburg in 1906 and began to
gain access to the royal family of Tsar Nicholas II.
Posing as a mystic,
Rasputin was known for strange prophecies, claims of superstitious healing
powers, and sexual excesses.
As the Tsar and his
family came under Rasputin's spell, the monarch's credibility suffered, his
authority was undermined, and public distrust spread.
For
those who want something more than the distorted, Alice-in-Wonderland,
Americanized version of the events surrounding St Gregory, we encourage them to
read some of what the Orthodox priest Fr Andrew Phillips has written. Here is part of what he has had to say:
Why are these
slanders still repeated and believed today? First of all, because scandalous
sex stories make many people rich and they are what the mob wants. Secondly,
because those who believe and repeat them want to believe and repeat them
because they are motivated by self-justification. The alternative would be to
repent and most do not want to repent. The murder of the Russian Orthodox
peasant Gregory Rasputin in fact began the Revolution, not a Bolsehevik
Revolution but a Revolution long desired, since at least December 1825, by a
jealous aristocracy and a growing middle-class, all apostates from the Russian
Orthodox Church. The descendants of all those who thought they would benefit
from the Revolution do not want to repent.
These include not
just brainwashed former Soviet citizens, not only the descendants of émigré
aristocrats in Paris and elsewhere, but also all the other Western victims of
Russophobic propaganda who want to believe that the so-called ‘Tsarist regime’
(that is to say, the legitimate Christian Empire, founded by St Constantine)
was corrupt, primitive, barbarian, depraved, drunken and plainly evil.
Therefore, it was demonized and so could be overthrown by the ‘pure’ West and
all was justified. Such Russophobia is in the direct line of the
self-justifying propaganda of the secularism of Gibbon’s History of the Decline
and Fall of the Roman Empire. But what if Gregory Rasputin was the victim, the
more or less innocent scapegoat of the machinations of traitors?
If Gregory was
innocent, then they, the ideologues of the anti-Christian Western world,
therefore most of the Russian aristocracy and the State Duma, most of the
generals and even some clergy, most of the journalists and most of the people,
as well as the Western-founded Soviet State, are guilty of slandering him,
murdering him and are also guilty of the murder of the canonized Imperial
Family. Guilty too are all who believed in the lies without question and all
who continue to believe in these money-making (money is always a motive for
evil) lies and myths and even spread them. After all, these are the people who
three months after the murder, on Kerensky’s Masonic orders, dug up Gregory
Rasputin’s corpse and on 11 March 1917 incinerated it.
Was this the act the
act of Orthodox Christians or any other Christians? Was this the act of
Christian patriots who loved the Tsar, the Little Father? Who could have
carried out such a blasphemous act, but apostates, occultists and
anti-Christian secularists? Even if all or just part of what they claimed had
been true, would that have justified such profound hatred for a corpse? Nobody
has done this or even proposed to do this with the corpse of the Bolshevik mass
murderer and blasphemer Lenin, which, amazingly, still lies in its chemical
soup in Moscow. Surely the only people who could have carried out this act were
atheists and satanists? However, in some sense, all who continue to spread
these slanders are indirectly taking part in this same blasphemy.

ReplyDeleteAndrew Phillips is an embarrassment to his Bishop and to the entire Orthodox Church; his real place is in some openly schismatic Old Calendarist pseudo-church.
