An MP from 2010 to 2024, the 56-year-old Jack Lopresti has joined the Azov Brigade. Ukrainians are among the very few people with a safe and legal route to asylum in Britain, so expect an influx from the Ukraine of that and of Svoboda, Pravy Sektor, the National Corps, C14, the Aidar Battalion, the Donbas Battalion, the Dnipro-1 Battalion, the Dnipro-2 Battalion, the Kraken Regiment, and all the rest of the displayers of the Sonnerad, the Wolfsangel, and the plain old Swastika.
That is the Ukraine that in Ternopil has named a football stadium after Roman Shukhevych, on a street named after Stepan Bandera. It is the Ukraine of Andriy Biletsky, to whom “the mission of Ukraine is to lead the White Races of the world in a final crusade for their survival against the Semite-led Untermenschen”. And it is the Ukraine of Pavlo Lapshyn, the 2013 murderer of 82-year-old Mohammed Saleem in Birmingham. Lapshyn went on to put bombs outside three mosques in this country. He belonged, and presumably still does belong, to the Wotanjugend, which is closely allied to the Azov Brigade, being led by its “political ideologist”, Alexey Levkin. In August 2020, Lapshyn pleaded guilty to a count of preparing an explosive substance in his cell.
In Britain, as at least across Europe, the Greens are right behind the war in Ukraine. Of course, they have deep reactionary roots, and they and the Far Right cross over on the ground of paganism, occultism, pseudohistory and pseudoscience. Therefore, it is not merely laughable that Zack Polanski has claimed to be able to hypnotise women to make their breasts grow larger. That is potentially as pernicious as Julius Evola. Likewise, the court of Tony Blair featured Carole Caplin and her clairvoyant mother, the Temazcal of Nancy Aguilar and the stone circle of the wonderfully monikered Jack Temple, Cherie’s BioElectric Shield that had been given to her by Hillary Clinton, and much else besides.
We knew that centrism and right-wing populism were con tricks to sell exactly the same economic and foreign policies to different audiences by pretending to wage a culture war, while Fascism was inherent in both of them, only ever arising by their joint enterprise. We pointed out that they constituted a single milieu. But we were right beyond our worst nightmares. Whereas QAnon hallucinated that God had raised up a deliverer in the person of Donald Trump, the Epstein Class is made up of centrists, right-wing populists, right-wing elitists, and the world’s only famous anarcho-syndicalist and libertarian socialist.
The Epstein Files call to mind Eusebius in Book I, Chapter XXXVI of his Life of Constantine: “But the crowning point of the tyrant’s wickedness was his having recourse to sorcery: sometimes for magic purposes ripping up women with child, at other times searching into the bowels of newborn infants. He slew lions also, and practised certain horrid arts for evoking demons, and averting the approaching war, hoping by these means to get the victory. In short, it is impossible to describe the manifold acts of oppression by which this tyrant of Rome enslaved his subjects: so that by this time they were reduced to the most extreme penury and want of necessary food, a scarcity such as our contemporaries do not remember ever before to have existed at Rome.”
That was Maxentius in 312, on the eve of the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, the eve on which Constantine received his famous vision of the Cross. In that Sign, Constantine conquered, and Christendom began, bringing at least some degree of restraint to intercourse with Saint Paul’s elemental spirits, which are Saint John’s fallen angels, and which the human race worships in the absence of Abrahamic monotheism, not as worthy of worship, which they are not, but as deserving of fear, which to an extent they are. They are real, and the startlingly similar accounts and depictions of demons on different sides of the world arise from different people’s and different peoples’ encounters with the same ones. They always return to the fore when the Faith is in retreat.
The extreme depravity did not go underground. It went, as it were, overground, continuing in circles so elite that the rest of us could not usually see them. But we have seen them from time to time, and this is one of those times. Such are both the roots and the fruits of the refusal of the recapitulation in Jesus Christ and His Church of all three of the Old Israel, Hellenism, and the Roman Empire. In hoc signo vinces.
Fascinating.
