It was designed to be a slap in Russia’s face and to trample on Serbia’s honour. For Serbia, where memories are long, Vladimir Zelensky’s visit to Belgrade last weekend was a humiliating replay of March 1941. Of 25 March, to be precise. As every Serb knows, that is the infamous date when, disregarding public sentiment, a treacherous government signed Yugoslavia’s adherence to the Axis Pact. But soon after that came 27 March, the historic moment when the enraged and unconsulted nation and its army spoke the last word. The betrayers were removed and dispersed, and their treasonous scheme collapsed ignominiously.…

De mortuis nihil nisi bonum, goes the adage of the ancient Romans that every schoolboy knows. Regrettably, in the case of the recently departed Senator Lindsey Graham finding laudatory words is a nearly impossible task. George Galloway was on point in calling Graham “a perfectly revolting specimen, and a poor excuse for a human being.” Galloway also ventured some very cogent speculations about the circumstances and causes of Graham’s truly unexpected and otherwise not easily explicable death. Decent people will not pop champagne bottles at the news that the annoying political caricature that we had all become accustomed to watch…
On 12 May, Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, was the scene of a brutal gangland murder which continues to reverberate. It rivalled anything that might have occurred in 1950s Havana or in Al Capone days in Chicago. It was shocking even by the permissive standards of Serbia’s neo-Batista regime. The crime technically (and conveniently) remains “unsolved.” It is the subject of an official “investigation” which seems deliberately designed to meander aimlessly and forever, like the probe into the nearly forgotten fatal collapse of the concrete canopy in Novi Sad in November of 2024 which killed seventeen persons and sparked indignant…
The false flag burning of the Dormition Cathedral within the Kiev Pechersk Lavra monastery complex on 15 June could have been predicted with mathematical certainty. It was never a question of whether it would happen, but only of when. The tell-tale signs of a staged event are everywhere. The public, too busy and careless to inquire deeply or ask elementary questions, are again being taken for a ride by the Ukrainian neo-Nazi regime and its collective West sponsors who are guiding and logistically facilitating every single move the regime makes. The damage sustained by the Dorimition cathedral in Kiev is…
Russian Orthodox metropolitan Hilarion (his last posting was in the Czech Republic) was involuntarily in the news again after Czech authorities claimed that after conducting a search they found cocaine hidden in the trunk of his automobile. The quantity alleged to have been seized by the Czech police in the good metropolitan’s vehicle was negligible, but still enough for criminal proceedings to be initiated and – perhaps more importantly – to generate massive embarrassment not just for him personally but also for the church which he represents. Amazingly, or perhaps not, the church in question is not Southern Baptist or…
In spite of a deservedly unsavoury reputation as a consummate deceiver, Joseph Goebbels seems to have been willing occasionally to make some slight, utilitarian concession to the truth. Goebbels of course had no qualms about concocting massive lies, whose incessant repetition he believed would be sufficient to turn them into perceived “truths.” But he also insisted that “good” (meaning effective) propaganda should always contain a kernel of conventional truth in order to be believable. We now know from the testimony of Melanie Phillips, who for decades worked in the belly of the beast as a BBC editor and Guardian columnist, that…
A few days ago, podcaster Candance Owens made an allegation that to many viewers who are unfamiliar with technological advancements in the field of voice reproduction must have sounded startling. The subject of her exposé was an alleged statement made by the assassinated American political activist Charlie Kirk. A few days before his death, Kirk supposedly stated in Colorado Springs at a meeting of his organisation, Turning Point USA, that should anything happen to him he appoints his wife Erica as his successor as TP USA chief executive officer. Many of those who attended the meeting claimed not to recall…
On 2 May 2014 in Odessa there occurred an outrage that must not be forgotten or minimised. Regrettably, the memory of this atrocity is gradually fading. The underlying facts, though scarcely disputable, are under intense assault and the moral catastrophe represented by this foundational massacre of the Maidan-generated Ukrainian order that emerged in 2014 is perfidiously misrepresented. It is for that reason that this reminder is being written. The essential facts and events on that day in Odessa is hardly subject to serious dispute. Close to fifty dissident citizens, who were being chased by a raging mob of pro-Maidan hooligans,…
There is a detail that was almost universally missed in the exhilaration which accompanied the recent Artemis II lunar probe. It is Artemis, the very name of the project. The space vehicle in which NASA’s Artemis II mission was accomplished was given an equally intriguing name of similar inspiration, Orion. The choice of names, once attention is drawn to it, is not without significance. Not because there is no connection between the ancient deity Artemis and the moon, which there is. Pagan deities generally had a multiplicity of offices, and sometimes even a variety of names. Thus, the Greek goddess…
And neighbouring Serbia is rushing full speed ahead to do exactly the same. At a certain point during the last world war, Admiral Horthy was clearheaded enough to see the light. It was shining brightly enough by 1944 to draw the right conclusion and to seek what today is known as the “off ramp.” But in last Sunday’s elections, the majority of the Hungarian electorate have failed signally to see that blinding light. As Hungarian election results demonstrate rather depressingly, that country’s brief flirtation with relative sovereignty has failed to firmly impress the critical mass of Hungarian voters. Heavily propagandised, and on top of…
