"There are no more opponents of Putin's course and, if there are, they are mentally ill and need to be sent off for clinical examination. Putin is everywhere, Putin is everything, Putin is absolute, and Putin is indispensable"

-Aleksandr Dugin

When Hillary Clinton was SoS, this is the bastard whose strategy she was up against.


"Dugin is seen as an author of Putin's initiative for the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation. He considered the war between Russia and Ukraine to be inevitable and appealed for Putin to start military intervention in eastern Ukraine. Dugin said, "The Russian Renaissance can only stop by Kiev."

Dugin's weaponized fake news -

"In the 2014 article by Dmitry Bykov "Why TV, Alexander Dugin and Galina Pyshnyak crucified a boy", Channel One Russia's use of the aired story by Dugin and Pyshnyak about the allegedly crucified boy as a pretext for escalating the conflict was compared to the case of Beilis. On 9 July 2014, Dugin on his Facebook account wrote a story that a 6 year old child was allegedly nailed down to an advertisement board and shot to death before his father's eyes. On 16 July 2014, Novaya Gazeta provided a videotape of its correspondent Eugen Feldman walking along the main square in Sloviansk, asking local old women if they had heard of the murder of the child. They said such an event did not take place. The website Change.org hosted a petition of citizens who demanded "a comprehensive investigation with identification for all persons involved in the fabrication of the plot.""

And by "Liberalism", he means our Constitutional frame of government and society, not the way conservatives intentionally misinterpret the word.

We are facing a monster chameleon that is neither left nor right, but will put on the mask of either to further it's aims.

2. There are a lot of figures in and around the Russian government who take Dugin very seriously.

He's far from some isolated nutjob. He's a rather influential nutjob.

4. Uh.. welcome to DU

Your defense of this Russian is intriguing. What, exactly, is the state of the "Russian mainstream"?

[orangecrush]

6. Enquiring minds

And all that!

8. It feels just like good old times at DU again.

Spring of 2014 and what not. Those were a fun bunch.

11. Oh we've "figured you out" alright

14. I'm afraid

He was found out.

Now he has to go back and face the music.

[orangecrush]

5. Quite so

[Petrushka]

12. I'm confused. How is ALEKS (at the link you posted) realted to Putin and/or Dugin?

Edited to add:
What/where/who is the source of the quotations you included in your OP?

[orangecrush]

13. Fixed it!

The quotes were from the wiki article on Dugin, I really appreciate you pointing it out!

Not sure what happened there!

And, to our fallen comrade...

За (ваше, твоё здоровье!

[Petrushka]

18. Dziękuję---i jeśli napoje są w domu, okrzyki!

I did a 2-way through google translate---English to Polish and, then, Polish to English. I'm still laughing at the result.

[orangecrush]

19. Got it!!!!

15. Oh, and guess who endorsed the fascist creamsicle?

"Aleksandr Dugin, otherwise known as “Putin's Rasputin," has endorsed Donald Trump for president of the United States.

Aleksandr Dugin is a key theorist of the ideological underpinnings of Putinism. His "Eurasianism" seeks to provide a basis for uniting not only Russia, but all the world's anti freedom forces, under Moscow's banner against the West.

What Russia needs, says Dugin, is a "genuine, true, radically revolutionary and consistent, fascist fascism." On the other hand, "Liberalism, is an absolute evil. . . .Only a global crusade against the U.S., the West, globalization, and their political-ideological expression, liberalism, is capable of becoming an adequate response. . . . The American empire should be destroyed."

21. Thank you! I bookmarked the link in Reply #15 and the one in your previous reply to look at later.

I've been in front of the computer screen for too many hours already today. My eyes are screaming for a break and my bottom feels like it's about to give up the ghost! I'll boot 'er up again tomorrow. Hang in there!

'bye!

[orangecrush]

22. Thank you!

Have a nice rest!

24. After 10 hours of much-needed sleep, I just opened that weeklystandard link and . . .

. . . holy Moses! I feel like I'm about to tumble down a rabbit-hole . . . more links! . . . and links within links!

And, as if that isn't enough to keep an olde biddy busy and off the streets, I ordered Putin vs Putin: Vladimir Putin Viewed from the Right which caught my attention somewhere or other in the past couple days of being side-tracked from whatever it was I initially came online to do.

Ultimately, after more than four score years, this internet is proving to enable some pretty good exercise for the thought processes . . . if not the bodily functions.

[orangecrush]

25. I'm ready to fall over

Not much sleep last night...

Glad you are having fun and learning at the same time, it keeps me going to!

[Petrushka]

27. I looked at that weeklystandard link again and opened the hyperlink for . . .

. . . the Katehon think tank wherein Dugin's endorsement of Trump appeared. Anyway . . .

I did a little bit of nosing around that think tank, took a peek at the "About us" page, and found the Supervisory Bord members---but, other than the Board members' photos and names, there's no background information "about" any of them. http://katehon.com/about-us

Having received Dugin's Putin vs Putin book yesterday---thanks to my daughter's Amazon Prime account---I checked the index to see if any of that think tank's Supervisory Board members were listed in the index and found only one: Sergey Glaziev. A footnote on page 53 of Dugin's book says: "Sergei Glaziev (b.1961) was one of the co-founders of the Rodina party. He currently works as an aide to Putin for the development of the Customs Union." So, now . . .

Questions, and more questions: Rodina party? Customs Union? And, for that matter: Katehon?? That word is one letter short of being "katechon" . . . and---of all things!--- "katechon" appears twice in the P vs P index! Curiouser and curiouser. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katechon









Hope you took time to get some rest, orangecrush. Resisting the temptation to boot 'er up late last night, I decided it was more important to my physical and mental health to get another night's sleep.

16. Putin is a Duganist. He's following the blueprints Dugan created to a T.

Putin wants Civil War in the US. He wants us to violently fight Republicans, races to despise each other, and extremists to rise to power in our country. He's an IRL version of Littlefinger.

Republicans are on our side. We disagree with them, if not loathe some of them, but we can never raise guns st each other again. That's what Dugan and Putin want. They want to divide and conquer us, just like they're doing in the EU.

[orangecrush]

17. Exactly

They are trying like hell, but this is still America, and many are starting to feel like something isn't right with all of this.

I observed it in a gathering of different ages, races, political views, vets, etc. watching the NFL games Sunday.

Just about everyone agreed the purpose of Trumps interference in the NFL was to stir up shit, and no one likes it.

It's instinctual, imo.
