A Drop of Skepticism in the Ocean of Optimism

A friendly message to Dr. Meryl Nass

Dear Dr. Meryl Nass,

As you know, I follow with interest and sincere appreciation your posts. But one of these prompted me to write you a long comment, which I have been meditating on for a long time. It is this post:

Alexander Dugin, NOT an adviser to Putin but a philosopher, has analyzed modern US history and Trumpism for us

. Indeed, more generally than that, the Russian political scientist Alexander Dugin is regarded by many of those with alternative views as a character worthy of full confidence.

Unfortunately, however, this remarkable scholar, of solid scientific work published in dozens of books, preferred to slip into the position of Putin regime propagandist. The role assigned by the Kremlin strategists to this character from the research world is extremely important, because he is not an ordinary commentator but an academic personality that inspires confidence by his intellectual speculations.

My long and fruitful collaboration with Dugin

I hasten to add that I was honored to meet Dugin more than ten years ago. Over several years, I translated four of his books into Romanian and published them in the Republic of Moldova and Romania from my own money. I started working with Dugin because at that time I was looking for an alternative to the US-dominated globalist plutocratic system and liberal ideology―and Professor Dugin's ideas about the Fourth Political Theory and the Theory of the Multipolar World seemed remarkable to me as a possible alternative to the unipolar Western-centrist model.

I present to you below the books translated and published by me, as well as some links to the public events organized by me for the launches of his books in Chișinău and in Bucharest.

How we started the Chișinău Forum think tank

Together with Alexander Dugin and several other intellectuals from around Europe, we designed and launched in May 2017 an international think tank, Chișinău Forum. The Moscow professor was present at the first two editions of this international platform, in May and November 2017.

In 2018, when my prosecution began, Professor Dugin, along with other intellectuals from various countries, took a public stand in my defense:

.

I became undesirable to the Kremlin and therefore inconvenient to Dugin

But at some point, Dugin began to avoid any public association with me and even broke off any private communication. Here is how this dissociation happened, step by step.

1. When the former President of Moldova, Igor Dodon, promoted by Putin, proved to be a corrupt person and a traitor to our national interests, Dugin discreetly withdrew from participation in subsequent editions of the Chisinau Forum, continuing to praise this degraded politician from Moldova.

2. When the false Covid-19 pandemic was launched in 2020, Dugin kept a dishonorable silence, avoiding any criticism of the Putin regime for the fact that it showed total obedience to WHO and imposed every liberticidal and genocidal measure against its own people. In that sinister period, I, like all my friends in the alternative media around the world, harshly decried this biological and psychological warfare operation. I also criticized the Moscow administration, which has proved to be equally obedient to globalist policies of depopulation and control as any other government. During that sinister period I was shocked to see Dugin with a mask on his face.

3. In 2022, when the Russian special military intervention began in Ukraine, we hoped that the Putin administration had finally decided to permanently get out from under the control of the globalists. But I soon discovered that the Kremlin was unable to wage a victorious war. Instead, the regime in Moscow eliminated―by assassination or by imprisonment―patriots who criticized the losing policy of those responsible for the deployment of the SMO. I was critical of this policy, yet Dugin was determined to praise and applaud all the aberrant and defeat-inducing decisions of the Kremlin.

4. On April 29, 2023, an international conference on multipolarity was held by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the team of Alexander Dugin. To my surprise, I was invited to speak there too. I entitled my speech “The Great Reset Is The End Of Classic Geopolitics”. I said that both the Covid-19 special operation and the BRICS countries' affiliation with the WHO and UN dictates were destroying the myth of multipolarity.

   See: https://www.facebook.com/story.php/

   Here is the last sentence in that speech: “And the general plan imposed everywhere, which is being implemented with tremendous speed, has a well-known name: UN AGENDA 21 or AGENDA 2030 for SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. And since there is ONE COMMON AGENDA for all the countries of the world, multipolarity remains for the moment only a desirable perspective.”

   By the way, I have published a series of articles on the false dichotomy of West vs. BRICS, which can be found on my main website https://arcaluinoe.info/en and in my recent book Humanity 2.0: Depopulated and Augmented, available to read at https://arcaluinoe.info/en/carti/humanity_2_depopulated_and_augmented.pdf.

5. Recently, when Russia betrayed Syria and allowed Israel and Turkey (in complicity with the US) to destroy that country, and when the entire Russian military operation there turned out to be bankrupt, Dugin exclaimed: “We will yet return to Syria!”. In the version of reality accepted by the Moscow professor, anyone except Putin can be guilty of such failures.

6. The last two editions of international think tank Chisinau Forum took place in 2023 and 2024: https://arcaluinoe.info/en/etichete/chisinau-forum-2023; https://arcaluinoe.info/en/chisinau-forum/2024.

But meanwhile, all intellectuals affiliated in one way or another to the ideological line of the Kremlin, who prefer to view geopolitical reality with one eye, listen to the world with one ear and think with half a brain, have disappeared one after the other from the list of our participants. I have called this phenomenon of affiliation to the official utterances of the Kremlin “neo-Cominternism”. The same was seen during the Soviet regime: many Western intellectuals who rejected the plutocratic model of the US and Europe sank into the arms of the “beacon of mankind” that was communism. There is nothing new in this regard. At such junctures, there are enough naive but profiteering enthusiasts ready to criticize their own governments and praise the Soviet/Russian government.

Thumbnail sketch of the champions of international dissent

I deplored and condemned the murder of Dugin's daughter, Daria, on 20 August 2022, with whom I had a warm and sincere friendship and cooperation. It is for this reason that I thought it better to abstain from any public disagreements with Professor Dugin. There came a time, though, when I grasped that the propagandistic apparatus of which he is part is simply too harmful to the correct understanding of the state of the world today. The continual intoxication of the alternate media with lies about the brave hero Putin and his struggle with globalism surpasses all the bounds of common sense. And propagandists like Pepe Escobar, Douglas Macgregor, Scott Ritter, and Alexander Dugin are all seeking to mislead the millions of people who have become understandably disgusted with American imperialism, with NATO, and with Russia, the EU and other globalist organizations―misleading them by inculcating the myth of a rebel Kremlin and the legend of an anti-System BRICS.

It's incredible to watch as some alternative media giants like Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan tell us how Trump and Putin are fighting globalists and evil democrats to make all of humanity happy and great again. Unfortunately, Mr Dugin is also joining the same cohort. The state of bliss he is experiencing at Trump's inauguration would be appropriate for a naive and uneducated young man, ignorant of the workings of the American political system and confident in the wolf's promises to turm vegetarian.

Nor should we lose sight of the fact that Duginist authors who are currently engaged in expressions of Trump adoration avoid mentioning the excessive commitment of the new American president and his cabinet to Israel and its genocide and terrorist policy. This is by no means a secondary issue. What will these brilliant propagandists say if Trump continues his full support of the criminal Netanyahu, including engaging in direct US military aggression against Iran?

The Saviour Syndrome once more in vogue

All the to-do about leaving the WHO and the Paris climate accords, and about combating illegal migration and drug cartels, are part of the reality show so dear to Trump. The old world is subject to a controlled demolition by the same occult circles that are behind political actors. And what will ensue is obvious: Agenda 2030, CBDCs, the electronic gulag, smart dust, 15-minute cities and the whole of the Satanists’ program of enslaving humanity. If you don't believe me, ask superstar Elon Musk. He will provide you with electric cars, chips in your head, and safe internet from satellites that will control your mind and behavior.

At present, there is a rapid destruction of the old global architecture, established after the Second World War, in the place of which is coming technocratic tyranny, transhumanism and the end of man. It is good to remember the old maxim which teaches us that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. And “the prince of this world” will come as a peacemaker, as a savior.

I have written these lines not to diminish the academic value of Professor Dugin, but only to express my regret that for reasons unknown to me, he enlisted in the cohort of the promoters of Putin's personality cult at the expense of truth and even of Russian national interests. He inflates the illusion that salvation can somehow come from people like Trump and Putin. It has now become clear that both BRICS and Trump's intention to annex Canada, Mexico and Greenland are nothing more than elements of the old strategy outlined by the Cube of Rome about those ten world macro-regions under the NWO: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/387827375_The_Club_of_Rome_and_the_10_Kingdoms_Unraveling_Intent_Emergent_Phenomena_and_Prophetic_Interpretations_in_Global_Governance. A noteworthy obsession present in all the official documents of BRICS and its member states is the supposed need to strengthen “global governance” through the UN.

Dugin as promoter of the criminal oligarch Ilan Shor

I cannot leave this subject without noting that Alexander Dugin has lately found himself assigned the thankless task of bigging up of the most odious economic criminal in the post-Soviet history of the Republic of Moldova, Ilan Shor. An oligarch born in Israel, Shor came as a child to settle in Moldova with his parents, who had left here during the time of Soviet rule. This young and ambitious crook is the key figure in the most outrageous of economic crimes committed in Moldova, being guilty along with his accomplices of the theft of one billion euros from the National Bank, allegedly, as well as the bankrupting of three banks, the illegal obtaining of a concession in Chișinău International Airport, etc., etc.

Until 2019, Shor enjoyed the protection of the oligarch who had usurped all power in the state: a man named Vladmir Plahotniuc, his main accomplice. However, in 2019, after the creation of an ad-hoc parliamentary coalition and the dismissal of the government controlled by Plahotniuc, he left Moldova on the same day as Ilan Shor, fearing arrest. Both fled on their personal planes. Plahotniuc arrived in the USA, then in Turkey, and Shor in Israel. Shor has since carried out “from exile” a vast campaign of political corruption in Moldova through huge funding, creating parties, organizing mass demonstrations and desiring to seize power.

Moreover, a couple of years ago, Ilan Shor landed in Moscow―arriving there, as the press says, on the personal plane of Roman Abramovich, the oligarch domiciled in London and nicknamed “Putin’s wallet”. Shor also enjoys the protection of Sergey Kiriyenko-Israitel, a former Prime Minister of Russia, who caused the total economic collapse of that country in 1998. Yet Putin kept Kiriyenko in key positions for 25 years and awarded him the highest state distinctions, because it was Kiriyenko who during his premiership had promoted Putin to the position of director of the Russian security service, the FSB. From 2016 onwards, Kiriyenko has been the first deputy of the head of the Russian presidential administration.

With such accesses, Shor has at his disposal the entire state and propaganda apparatus of Russia. He is publicly on display alongside Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Alexander Dugin; and he casts himself as a dissident and as Leader of the Moldovan Opposition in all the Russian media. Nothing could be more disgusting and cynical than seeing a state like Russia promote a crook―definitively convicted to 15 years’ imprisonment for huge financial damage to the state―as “Leader of the Moldovan opposition” fighting an evil pro-Western government. Professor Dugin has even published an immense article about the history of Moldova (taken from his monumental “Noomakhia” or Mind War series), which he concludes triumphantly thus:

The most suitable candidate for the post of head of the republic is Ilan Shor, who set up the Victory parliamentary bloc, which meets the interests of Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union.

More than that, Dugin managed to describe this immoral character and common criminal as “brave Ilan Shor”. Just what constitutes the political splendor and the courageous character of this impostor, Dugin does not tell us, but he diligently carries out his propaganda mission.

In conclusion, dear Dr. Nass, I hope I haven't upset you or any other friends in our international family. Yet, to recall Aristotle’s saying, “Plato is dear to me, but dearer still is truth”.

P.S.: In my view, Trumpism and Putinism are tools of manipulation on a global scale, designed to distract us from the rapid and implacable encroachment of technocracy. For those who know the true global power structure, which exercises control over politics through financial-banking system and technological, cultural and media tools, to be seduced by puppets of the technocratic plutocracy like Trump and Putin would be unacceptable.

P.P.S: It seems that the Putin-Trump tandem has the same masters above them, who are cajoling VIPs en masse into the MAS (the mainstream alternative media, David Icke’s turn of phrase) in order to manipulate the world with the illusion of an alternative to the so-called globalists. I have listed above several senior members of tribe. How about Freemasonry, secret societies, transnational corporations, Big Money, Big Tech, Big Media, Big Pharma, the military-industrial complex, etc.? Are Trump and Putin able to annihilate this beast, or are they rather the projection of these kinds of occult group? Or, since Trump became once again President of US, is the world no longer ruled by private entities which rank above the nation states? Who is stronger, Trump or his sponsors? And how about the demonic figure of Elon Musk in his team, the man praised by Dugin from the beginning of his panegyric about the American (false) messiah?
