Russia and the Moslems

Last week, a big mosque was opened in Moscow, and Putin attended the opening ceremony.

Reuters:

President Vladimir Putin opened Moscow’s new grand mosque on Wednesday, urging Russia’s Islamic leaders to stand against extremism at a time when some 2,400 Russians are fighting with Islamic State in the Middle East.

Russia, home to some 20 million Muslims, has fought two wars against Chechen separatists in the mainly-Muslim North Caucasus region where an Islamist insurgency is still simmering and some rebels have sworn their allegiance to IS.

Unveiling the new mosque built of light stone, capped with turquoise and golden cupolas, Putin said Russia must educate its Muslim youth to prevent them from becoming religious extremists.

“This work is particularly important today as attempts are undertaken to exploit religious feelings for political purposes,” Putin said during the opening of the mosque, which is said to cost some $170 million.

“We see what’s happening in the Middle East where terrorists of the so-called Islamic State discredit the great world religion, discredit Islam by sowing hate, killing people… destroying the world’s cultural heritage in a barbaric way.”

…

Adopting Russian Orthodox Christian terminology for an important house of worship, the building is called the Moscow Cathedral Mosque. Its main golden dome and tall minaret reflected the style of many Orthodox churches, except for the Islamic crescents atop them.

This situation has been dealt with by some sectors of the White nationalist community – including some commenters on this site – in the way that the media has dealt with Clock Boy. The thing has been misconstrued on a ridiculous scale, and I will here break down the details of why the whining about this is either the result of being uninformed, being stupid or shilling.

I tend to believe it is more shilling than anything else, given that “uninformed” is not really a very good excuse in the age of Google. All of what I am going to reveal here is information easily accessible to anyone interested in typing it into their search bar.

Jewkraine All Over Again

Before we get into the Moslem issue, let us look back on the last time Putin fought Jews and was attacked by alleged White Nationalists for doing so.

Just as an army of anti-Russian shills appeared as soon as Putin stood up against the Jews of the Ukraine and their NATO allies, a similar surge in shilling has taken place since Putin has made moves to stand up against Israel and the US in the Middle East.

Although I hate to say it, it must be said: much of this anti-Russian shilling is originating on Stormfront. I am acquainted with Don Black, and consider Dr. David Duke a personal friend, and I blame neither for being incapable of fully regulating the discussion which takes place on that forum. For the record, their stated views on Putin are very similar to my own.

However, being a reader of that forum, I must note that there is a concerted effort by a group of posters to purposefully distort the reality of what Russia is. Many aggressively supported (and some still support) the Jewish-backed coup in the Ukraine, which was paid for by George Soros and other Western Jews and entirely run by local Jews.

To restate: I am an avid supporter of Stormfront, and the existence of Stormfront is the reason that I have not ever attempted to start my own forum. What I am stating here is simply a fact: the majority of the memes in support of the Jewish-backed revolution in the Ukraine came from there. But, to be fair, there was also heavy shilling on the chans. Yesterday, I was attempting to get updates on the Syrian happening, and literally had to go to Reddit because the shilling on both chans was so intense no information could be communicated.

The Maidan

I was, from the beginning, very critical of the Maidan revolution, given that there were from the start Jews commanding the army of mercenaries dressed-up like National Socialists.

The Daily Stormer was the first English news outlet to report on the fact that Vitali Klitschko and Arseniy Yatsenyuk were both Jews. The Jews themselves came out and bragged about Poroshenko being a Jew.

Eventually, the leader of the allegedly nationalist group “Pravy Sektor” came out and pledged allegiance to Jews, and then it came out that the second in command was himself an ethnic (and religious) Jew. During the violent overthrow of the Ukraine’s elected government, Mossad agents were openly commanding “nationalist” mercenary groups. Jews went on to brag about their role in the coup, talking about how great it was for Jews.

At this point, anyone claiming that the Maidan was a good thing must be assumed to be a paid shill, because if they were actually so stupid as to believe it is a good thing after all of this information has come out and we have seen the results, they wouldn’t be able to read or type on the internet.

This is not meant to say that it isn’t possible that a certain percentage of the revolutionaries were genuine in their nationalist sentiment, but surely they were duped. Presently, the Jewish revolutionary government of the Ukraine is attempting to purge these nationalists who they paid to overthrow the government, and there may well be a second revolution (though it is unclear how they will manage that without Soros money, unless they decided to accept Putin money).

With Regards to Shilling in General

I obviously don’t have the ability to know who is a shill and who is simply low IQ, confused or lacking basic information, but all of these elements work together as shills tend to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

For the record, I want to say that I have no problem with less intelligent individuals of the White race, and try to make this site one which is appealing to a wide range of persons of different backgrounds, different ages and different intellectual capacities. However, I would advise people to take IQ tests, and if they score low, they should probably take that as a cue to listen more and comment less.

And we shall now return to the issue at hand: the Moscow mosque and Islam in Russia more generally.

Russian Society has Nothing to do with Modern “Multiculturalism”

The presence of Moslems in Russia is being portrayed by some as though it somehow relates to the modern Western concept of “multiculturalism,” which is mainly rooted in mass immigration by unassimilable populations of a foreign religion and – more importantly – a different race. The governments of the Western nations pushing this concept, after importing these people, then attempt to force integrate them.

Russia, on the other hand, has been an empire for over a thousand years, and always had multiple ethnic and religious groups within its territories.

Islam in Russia: It’s Not a New Thing

Not to go into overmuch detail here, but a quick history lesson is in order.

The first Moslem sector of the Russian Empire was Volga Bulgaria, founded in 922. The area was then absorbed by the Golden Horde in the 13th century, which also conquered and subdued most of the Russian Empire’s southern regions.

In 1480, after having been pushed out of Romania by Stephen the Great ten years earlier, the Golden Horde attacked Moscow and was defeated by Ivan III.

Having failed against Romania and Russia, the Horde then attacked Poland, after which point it pretty well disintegrated, and the Tartar regions – Crimea, mainly – became a part of the Ottoman Empire.

From the 15th century, until the hammer was brought down by Catherine the Great in 1783, Crimea was a Moslem Khanate. Catherine annexed the entire region, and this was welcomed by many of the Tartar Moslems, who were fed up with the Ottomans for various reasons; others fled across the Black Sea to Ottoman lands. The Ottoman’s then signed a treaty officially giving Crimea to Russia.

Russia moved ethnic White Russians to settle in the area, but did not force out every single Moslem, as many of them were comfortable with Russian rule and pledged allegiance to the Empire.

During the 19th century, Russia fought two wars and conquered the Caucus region, which had been a part of the Iranian Caliphate. This was part of a greater effort against the Ottomans and Moslems generally.

During these conquests (reconquest, really) of Moslem lands (were talking about a thousand year period here), there were various attempts to remove Islam, which involved, at some points, burning mosques, moving Christian Russians into the predominantly Moslems areas and/or moving Moslems into predominantly Christian areas. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t.

Also during the 19th century, the Russian Empire captured much of central Asia, and though this related to the wars with the Ottoman and Persian empires on some level, the conquests were much more driven by the “Great Game,” a term used for competition between the Russian and British empires for control of central Asia. Much of this region was Moslem and ended up as a part of the Russian empire; it is still under Russian influence today, with many ethnic Russians living there and Russian being spoken as a second language by most of the native people.

Then Came the Soviet Union

After the Bolshevik revolution, the Russian Empire became the Soviet Union, and continued to control large portions of Moslem land.

Following the collapse of communism, the Jewish oligarchs, working with the now fully-Jewed West, planned to break the entirety of the Empire up into a bunch of little powerless countries. Many parts did break off, including the Ukraine, the Baltic states, and most of the Central Asian territories.

Here’s a map.

When Putin came to power, his entire intent was to preserve the Russian empire, which had, for over a thousand years, been dominated by White Russians, but also contained vassal states which were a minority or majority non-Christian and/or non-White.

His clear goal was to retain as much of the former Soviet Union (which was merely a low point in the Russian empire which lasted less than a hundred years) as possible.

Chechnya

When Putin first took control of Russia, Chechnya, a majority Moslem state of what is now called the Russian Federation (because no one uses the term “empire” anymore – sort of like how we don’t call Blacks “Negroes” these days), attempted to revolt and break-off as an Islamic state.

During this period of revolt, Chechen separatists engaged in terrorism across Russia.

Putin promptly crushed this revolt, brutally, following both the terrorist attacks inside Russia and the Chechen invasion of Dagestan.

Low intensity conflict lasted up through 2009. Presently, the state is ruled by Ramzan Kadyrov, an ally of Putin.

All These Details

All that information is simply to establish the fact that Islam in Russia has no relationship whatsoever to the present situation of Islam in Western Europe, which is entirely the result of Jewish policies of mass immigration from Moslem countries we have never had anything to do with.

Presently, there is very little conflict between Moslems (who are actually mainly White) in Russia and the Orthodox White Russian ruling establishment.

Putin has repeatedly, in no uncertain terms, made it clear that Russian Orthodox Christianity is the foundation of the Russian Federation, and that any attempts to establish Islamic law in Russia will not be tolerated.

Putin fully explained his views on the concept of “multiculturalism” in Europe and the differences between this and the Russian situation, in a 2012 essay.

From it:

The “melting pot” of assimilation is stalling and smoking, unable to “digest” the growing migration flow. In politics, a reflection of this fact has been “multiculturalism”, which rejects the notion of integration through assimilation. It elevates the “right of minorities to be different” to the absolute and, at the same time, fails to balances this right with civil, behavioral, and cultural obligations with regard to the indigenous population and society as a whole.

In many countries, closed national and religious communities are forming, which not only refuse to assimilate, but will not even adapt. There are neighborhoods and entire cities where generations of immigrants are living on welfare and do not speak the language of the host country. The response to this situation has been a rise of xenophobia among indigenous populations in an attempt to protect their interests, jobs, and social benefits from the “foreign competitors”. People are shocked by the aggressive pressure on their traditions and way of life, and are seriously threatened by the possibility of losing their national identity.

…

Despite all the superficial similarities, our situation is fundamentally different. Our national and immigration problems are directly linked to the collapse of the Soviet Union and, in essence, Greater Russia, whose historic foundations were built back in the 18th century. To the subsequent inevitable degradation of state, social, and economic institutions. To the enormous gap in development on the post-Soviet territory.

…

This civilizational identity is based on the preservation of a Russian cultural dominance, which flows not only from ethnic Russians, but all carriers of this identity regardless of nationality.

You can read the whole thing here.

It is, unapologetically, a blueprint for a multi-ethnic Empire. But, as you see in the last bit I quoted there, a multi-ethnic empire based on the cultural dominance of White Russians. This is the exact same thing Russia has been for over a thousand years.

Putin is following the traditions of Russia, established a very long time ago, in every way you can imagine. To condemn his regime is to condemn the entire history of the Russian empire.

Putin has even gone so far as to restore the Cossacks – driven out by the Bolsheviks – as an official state-backed paramilitary force. There is even talk of reestablishing the Romanovs as the royal family.

For the record, the Russian system is not at all dissimilar to any other historic European empire. The old American idea, which included conquests of Indian, Mexican, Caribbean and other lands (as far as the Philippines) was also almost identical to what Putin outlines as the current Zeitgeist of the Russian Federation.

Also worth adding is that America presently has a number of Red Indians, making up 2% of the total population, which do not cause any problems. They are welfare leeches, of course, but this is not a huge issue in the greater scheme of things (I generally try to concern myself with the greater scheme of things).

Even Hitler himself aligned himself with Arabs and other Moslems, who would have been incorporated, on some level, into the Reich if he had won the war.

This is not to say that Putin is the new Hitler, as he is clearly much less focused on race. At the same time, I don’t think there is too much race-mixing in Putin’s Russia. It is not like Khazaki or even White Moslems are walking around on the streets of Moscow with White women. They would actually be attacked.

If this did become an issue, I would not be surprised to see Putin passing laws with regards to inter-religious marriage, just as he has passed laws against gay marriage. Putin is a populist, and the popular opinion in Russia is definitely against this concept. However, due to the basic social framework of Russia, it is almost inconceivable that it would become an issue in the foreseeable future.

And now, context having been sufficiently established, back to this mosque.

This is Not a New Mosque

The headlines in the mainstream media, which those in the White Nationalist community attacking Putin do not seem to question, is that this is a new mosque, built by Putin. Both of these things are untrue.

The Cathedral Mosque, as it is called, was originally built in 1904, under Czar Nicholas II. In 2008, it was deemed structurally unsound, and so it was deconstructed and rebuilt. This reconstruction finished earlier this year, and the mosque was opened last week.

So, in order to assert that Putin must be part of some Jewish multicultural conspiracy because he allowed this mosque, you would also have to assert that Czar Nicholas was also part of a Jewish conspiracy, which, of course, involved him and his family being murdered by Bolshevik Jews.

I would go so far as to assert that the Czar being involved in a Jewish conspiracy to have himself and his family murdered as part of a Jew conspiracy makes significantly more sense than the current theory being promoted by anonymous internet posters that Putin’s intervention in Syria is part of a Jewish conspiracy, as it would be so much less complicated.

But then you can say, “well, why allow the mosque to be rebuilt after it was torn down?”

There are 16 million Moslems in Russia, due to the historical reasons outlined above. The Cathedral mosque is one of four mosques in Moscow, a city of 12 million people. The mayor of Moscow, who is a member of Putin’s party, has said that there will be no new mosques built in the city. And Putin has agreed.

This is not a new mosque.

While there is no reason to encourage Islam, there is no real reason to offend it either, as most of these Moslems are loyal to Russia, most of them are in fact White, and they are not causing problems within Russia proper, and at this point, are not even causing any serious problems in the Caucus region.

So, it seems to me, that the logical thing would be to get along with these people. While of course making it clear to them that Russia is a Christian country which tolerates Islam on the non-negotiable condition that all Moslems respect Christian social and cultural norms.

The Options Here?

Other than attempting to get along with Moslems who are attempting to get along with him, Putin’s options for dealing with the fact that Russia has a Moslem population with hundreds of years of roots in the region would be as follows:

a) Ethnic cleansing – the military could be used to either exterminate, forcibly convert, or expel the 16 million Moslems living in the Federation, or

b) Behave with open hostility towards the Moslem population, by condemning and complaining about them publicly, which would inevitably lead to the kind of hostilities we saw in Chechnya, bombings and so on, and ultimately further loss of Russian territory and influence.

To me personally, it makes sense to try to get along with these people, which make up over ten percent of the population of the country.

Things are Going Well

The relationship between the majority White Russian population and the minority Moslem population is now very good, due to Putin’s success at making it so.

When Putin took power, Chechnya was attempting to separate and terrorizing White Russia.

Things are very different now.

Just yesterday, the leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov (who sat next to Putin during the Cathedral Mosque opening ceremony), said that Putin is not going far enough with his fight against Jew-backed terrorists, and volunteered to send his people into Syria to assist in a ground war against ISIS and other anti-Assad forces.

IBT:

After the news of Russian airstrikes in Syria Wednesday, Chechnya’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov said he was ready to send his best fighters to support Moscow’s efforts and fight the Islamic State group, the Russian state news agency Tass reported. Kadyrov, the Kremlin-backed ruler of the Chechen republic in Russia’s North Caucasus region, said he fully supports President Vladimir Putin’s decision to send warplanes to Syria and begin a bombing campaign.

“If Russia’s Supreme Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin issues an order, we are ready already tomorrow to send world-class specialists who have no equal in the West. We have the experience and knowledge,” Kadyrov wrote on his page in a social network, according to Tass. “I’m convinced that the evil [ISIS] should be eliminated in its lair. We cannot wait until they come to our towns and villages.”

Several thousand Chechen servicemen are ready to participate in the fight against ISIS in Syria if there is such a need, Kadyrov told reporters in his capital of Grozny, Tass said.

Seems like the type of guy you would want on your side, rather than try to ethnically cleanse because of his religion.

Race and Religion

The Moslem issue in Russia is more about religion than race – another thing that is being obfuscated in the discussion in White Nationalist circles.

That isn’t to say all Moslems in Russia, or even in Chechnya, would meet Nuremberg Law standards of Aryan. But probably a majority of the 10-12% Moslem minority in the country would. Most of the rest are East Asian.

Crimean Tartars would be the exception, as they are most certainly a Turkic people.

In Conclusion

I do not deny being a Putin apologist. I have been this for many years now.

This does not, however, mean that I support his entire ideology (in fact, I do not), nor does it mean that I am unwilling to question him. And as the reader is aware, I have regularly questioned certain aspects of his rhetoric. But the reality is, though there is occasionally some rhetoric I find distasteful, there is very little to question with regards to his actual actions.

The fact that this Moscow Mosque situation has been so aggressively and purposefully distorted – again, turned into a White Nationalist version of the Clock Boy mythology – shows that there is very little to actually criticize him on, but nonetheless an army of anonymous trolls will magically appear out of nowhere and start pushing open and obvious distortions of reality.

People will post pictures of Putin meeting with Jews and say “look, he’s standing with them, it means he’s controlled by them.”

Well, here’s the former President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, warmly greeting Jews.

Does this mean Iran is secretly controlled by Jews?

This sort of thing is just appealing to the lowest common denominator, many of whom are autistic or very low IQ.

Though the issue of Putin’s relationship to the International Jewry was at one point debatable, it isn’t any more. He is now in Syria, literally bossing around Netanyahu. So whether you agree with his exact ideology and vision for humanity or not (as I say, I don’t completely agree with it myself), to say that he is some kind of puppet for the Jews is now so far beyond retarded, that it is difficult for me to believe that anyone saying it is not a paid shill.

Or simply stupid.

This article is long enough that we can probably say with confidence that the low IQ element is not reading this paragraph, so I am going to go ahead and speak very frankly to the high IQ element. The sad reality is that a large portion of the people we are dealing with in the pro-White movement are simply dumb. As I said above, there is nothing wrong with some people being less intelligent than others. I do not look down on these people, and neither should you. But at the same time, we need to be aware that these people are very easily confused by shills, and that those with lower intelligence are in fact much more likely, statistically, to comment or post on forums than people with higher intelligence.

The more elite among us (and I am not a genius, but I do have a higher than average IQ), need to be aware of the fact that we are often dealing with people who are less intelligent, and do our best to guide them in the right direction in ways they are capable of comprehending.

The problem with Russia is that it is weird and alien to most other Europeans. So it is difficult to simplify. But, with this move into Syria, and the direct confrontation with Netanyahu, simplifying the situation for the lower IQ element has just gotten a whole lot easier.

I am hereby calling on the higher IQ readership to try and comment more, and to, with compassion and without condescension, explain things to those with lower IQs.

I Have Never Said “Putin is the Savior of the White Race”

Regardless of the number of people saying that I have said it, I have never said that “Putin is the savior of the White race.” This is a strawman, designed to confuse the easily-confused about a situation that is much more nuanced than that.

In my view, Putin’s core agenda is to leave a legacy of having been an historical figure who won big and changed the world.

This, in my view, should be the goal of all real men. In order to truly live, you must confront the fact that you will some day die. You must own that reality. The understanding that your existence is finite must be a core part of who you are, and guide every decision you make.

An Old Norse proverb, from Hávamál in the Poetic Edda, oft-quoted by the late Dr. William Pierce, reads:

Cattle die,

kinsmen die

you yourself die;

I know one thing

which never dies:

the judgment of a dead mans life.

We are so used to slimy politicians, who simply shill for the shekels and often also to support whatever weird sexual behaviors they are involved in, that perhaps we have difficulty comprehending the idea of a real man with a real personality who has higher goals than the material. But in my honest belief, Putin is one such figure. He is considering how the history of humanity will have been changed by his having existed.

His enemies are our enemies. And this alone makes him a friend.
