Mind Control, Standardized Masses, and Conditioned Reflexes
“How can human behavior be controlled?” This question was posed by Vladimir Lenin to Ivan Pavlov in 1919. I've spent numerous years reading and studying Soviet tactics and methodologies in Russia leading up to and following the 1917 Revolution. My interest focuses on the anti-religious methods and propaganda used by the Soviets. Over time, I …

A Famine to Hear the Word of the Lord
Below is a translation from Russian of a word from St. Dimitry of Rostov. He speaks of the famine to hear the Word of the Lord. I found his words first and foremost a challenge to myself and from there I thought it profitable to share them with my readers. I find it worthy to …

At current, even within Orthodox circles, the idea is being put forth that if I, as a person, truly cared about others I would stay at home. This staying at home includes forgoing attending church. Some are saying things like "don't try to be a hero." Others are proposing that staying at home is …

You’re Free Not to Think
An important goal of secular humanism, one that must be clearly understood, is to stir up issues where they do not, or at best slightly, exist. Class or racial tension must be maintained; in fact, an old communist teaching instructed its adherents: if there are no tensions, they must be created. Our "leftist" humanist friends …
Antichrist is a Nice Guy
In the person of the Antichrist resides the culmination of a whole spiritual trajectory of fallen humanity and its rebellion against God. He is the ultimate manifestation of mankind's desire to live without God. This desire is not strictly atheistic, that is, a complete and total rejection of the idea of God. The spirit of …
