Religion then and now. Double pressure
“If I believe in God, but he is not, then I do not lose anything. And if I do not believe in God, and He is - I lose everything. "

Printed word, the press can be equated to "arms»Mass destruction. Everyone who picks up a pen or speaks to the media should be well aware that the word is a weapon. The word can destroy or create. Everyone is responsible for the message that he carries to our planet as a whole. He must understand that he is building the future, filling the space around us first with a word and then with reality. Today, a huge army of corrupt pseudo-journalists, learned scholars, and pseudo-defenders of truth has grown. They don't care about all of us, regardless of where we live. They sell themselves and us for MONEY. They serve the interests of money and their sphere of influence. They bomb our minds with their evil in a beautiful verbiage packaging. They stir up war wherever they want. We are for them only a geopolitical map. They unceremoniously dictate their “democracy” to the peoples, and after their so-called “goodness” they leave blood and ashes, all with the support of the UN and under the slogans of the struggle for peace. And we, including the TV, are waiting for who will be next. What country, what people fall under the interests of money? And if we do not agree, democracy is immediately reinforced by bombs and hired terrorists, the overthrow of the legitimate government and its replacement with the newly established one, in order to serve the interests of the very same MONEY.
But we have not all turned into animals, have not yet all stupefied and have corrupted permissiveness and immorality with opium. And you can’t be silent when under the guise of truth-seeking and democracy they impose war and gay laws, when they desecrate shrines and encroach on the most important thing - faith, because we can wake up tomorrow and not recognize the planet. Man will lose himself. Already today, the psyche of many cannot withstand the pressure of the evil of the Latin, which is heavily replicated by the media in America, in Russia, and in other countries. Every now and then you can hear it when, like a normal person yesterday, suddenly takes an automatic and shoots everyone indiscriminately.
In the world there are many sensible, kind and not corrupt people. And we must unite and fight against ungodliness. We must bring to the surface the positive in order to raise future generations in respect for our neighbor and stop evil in the bud everywhere.
There is more good in the world, but evil is better organized!
Let's see, if we are all for peace and good, then why does Ekho Moskvy occupy a place in the Rambler rating for 3? Isn’t this design artificial?
When the USSR was a powerful and monolithic power, the ROC was, one might say, an ally of the West. West all time howled about the oppression of the Russian Orthodox Church and religion in general in the USSR. Periodically powerful campaigns were carried out in defense of religion and religious leaders in the USSR, they say, there is no freedom of speech, freedom of religion, free enterprise, freedom of market relations was required, including the free circulation of the dollar and other Western currencies on the territory of the USSR.
After the Gorbachev-Yeltsin coup (GEP), when it all became a reality, and when the USSR was cut down, i.e. Russia, has become little different from the West in form and content, the West has changed the plate. Here we should note the age-old attitude of Western Europeans to destroy the main rival in Europe - the Russian Empire. By military means, as a result of repeated attempts, nothing happened, then we chose the only possible option - “viral” camber from the inside. The USSR was successfully demolished into pieces, the fragments of which still cannot come to their senses. But the largest and most tasty morsel remained intact - Russia. The ideology of the communists and they themselves are neutralized. It turned out that almost the only stronghold of Russia, cementing society and keeping the state from self-destruction, is the Orthodox faith and the Orthodox Church. Nikita Mikhalkov once said: “The church is the last stronghold of the state.” Now the ROC is no longer an ally of the West. There has been a change in attitudes for numerous agents of influence and, of course, a well-coordinated choir in the media, both in the West and in the controlled media the territory of the former socialist community. We see the results of this activity on the territory of Moldova, in Ukraine and, of course, in Russia itself. Here the exception to the rule can be made only for the “father” empire of Lukashenka, who did not allow the country to be plundered, or I kept it, and religious and other attacks from him are impossible in principle.This is to say a word about liberal values and superdemocracy at the level of populism and universal suffrage, which Latnina has been strenuously criticizing in the last time, regretting that all this is seriously destroying European and generally Western civilization, so sweet and dear to her heart. Recall, for example, her article on the self-destruction of Detroit.
So, the West, at the beginning of 90's, saw that he was not on the way with the ROC. And set for this four main objectives:
1. Raise the flock for other denominations. To this end, the opening of the mass sects of various sects, “brotherhoods”, “cultural” centers and alternative religious movements throughout the entire former Soviet Union was financed. In Moldavia, they tried to lure me into some sect right in the route taxi.
2. To discredit the Orthodox faith, as backward and wrong. To do this, invented and built various graphs and charts.
3. To discredit the clergy in general and their church leaders in particular.
4. To drive a wedge on the one hand between the government and the church leadership, on the other hand - between the people and other major confessions.
In the Russian information space, many well-paid detractors of everything and everyone with remarkable abilities worthy of a better use have divorced.
It should be noted here that Latynina’s sophisticated and perverted mind, “activated” by generous sponsorship injections, which work as a powerful catalyst for the formation of extremely poisonous fabrications based on half-truths. On the basis of the “axioms”, the journalist seems to be building a coherent scientific concept, which has an internal logic and is served with unquestioned half-moon, with condescension to the public. If you eat genetically modified foods, you will not eat the genes themselves that turn you into a hare if you consume hare. Well this, they say, and the fool is clear, what is there to argue. Indeed, we are not turning into a hare, but the intrabiological influence of these transformations has not been fully studied. Experiments conducted by the OAGB revealed that eating genetically modified foods deprives third-generation test rats. That is, the genus of mammals, forced to eat GMOs, eventually dies out. Latynina’s article on GMOs is more like an advertising campaign of large American transnational corporations. In America itself, there are regular demonstrations of protest against companies producing GMOs. In Europe, for the time being, GMOs are, to put it mildly, wary.
Now about the relics. Here Latynina, with a fervor worthy of a better use, relishes that, they say, Orthodox relics are not real, that the Gifts of the Magi are not their gifts, and the belt of the Virgin Mary is not her belt at all. As proof of this, he conducts a whole study, where he mentions Umberto Eco, the mother of the emperor Constantine, the concubine Constantius Chlorus, St. Mark of Alexandria, Johann Calvin and the Pope. So much a man shoveled religious information who is not a professional in this field! For what? .. And then she categorically states that the huge queues lined up for touching the shrines are not the emotional outburst of believers at the genetic level, at the level of “ancestral voices”, but “television propaganda spreading the medieval type of world outlook”. In fact, it’s not even a medieval, but at least a thousand-year-old worldview type, in my opinion, it is not worse than the modern one with its total debauchery and child abuse! But, first, try to advertise on television any of your "duck", and you will not collect even a hundred of those people whose impulse is based on the Orthodox faith, the thousand-year faith of many generations of the Russian people and other peoples. But, I think, after such an article, not all can be attributed to this category of “Russian people”. I now have my personal opinion, in my understanding it has become less by one Russian person. And even if these relics are not really real, but they give people faith in good. Is it better to impose faith in the mass pedophilia, sodomy, sodomy and corruption? In this series, the blasphemy of young rebel-pusek does not look something out of the ordinary! And according to Latynina’s logic, this is quite a normal phenomenon and, unlike “imaginary relics,” these rebels are quite real and even assert themselves already in America on children's TV shows. However, whose project, to that they returned, and it would be better there would have remained. A woman with a cart, a mare is easier! For the credibility of her research, she states that all this is not happening in the 10th century, and this is happening in a country that launched a satellite into space, but forgets that it was precisely in that Soviet era that “liberals” from all over the West raised their voices in defense of the oppressed religion in the USSR.
In many articles of the yellow press, rumors are spread about the allegedly large incomes of the Russian Orthodox Church from various types of its economic activities. And where were these guardians of morality and asceticism, when the church really experienced, to put it mildly, a large shortage of not just income, but also elementary conditions for work on the part of the state in Soviet times, especially in the initial period of massive destruction of church churches? Yes, now the ROC does not stand with an outstretched hand and can afford to plan the construction of 200 temples in Moscow and the region. We need funds and considerable ones, and God forbid that the church has them, they will go to a good cause. And why Latynina and others like them do not see how oligarchs swollen on nationwide natural resources acquire monster yachts and football teams, and generally invest all money in foreign banks, fueling someone else's economy, someone else’s ideology that is being returned and imposed already in Russia on the Russian money itself? And indeed, in a strange eye you will notice a straw, in yours you do not even see a log! Or here's another point on the topic of the church - Latynina. It turns out that the boy, the shooter from the 263 school, shot a teacher and a policeman, because he was closed and, attention, “he was forced to believe strongly and to learn the Bible by heart”. It turns out that everything is simple, that there is a long time to argue, everything is clear, the church is to blame, so if he did not learn the Bible by heart, then it would be another matter, like in the “Caucasian Captive”: “... and I also destroyed the medieval fortress?”
At one time, Patriarch Kirill, at a meeting with the ombudsman for the President of the Russian Federation, P. Astakhov, said: “In the Russian Federation, we have 90 shelters, where about 1,5 live thousands of children. And if we talk about the positive aspects of working in church shelters, I would like first of all to say that a high percentage of children who study and live in these shelters receive a good education. On average, about 30% get higher education, about 25-27% - secondary special education. And, perhaps, the most important aspect of the activities of these shelters, especially at monasteries, is that, at the expense of the monasteries, children are escorted before they begin their independent lives. That is, even if they study at universities, monasteries take care of them financially, financially support them, take care of their place of residence, even to the purchase of apartments, when children enter into marriage and begin an independent life. Once again I would like to say that this is done at the expense of church funds ... "And orphans who are brought up at church institutions, according to Astakhov, differ sharply from children in ordinary orphanages:" Children have a special look, an extraordinary, divine probably the light is transmitted because there people are engaged in children not for show, not indifferent, not to write off this money ... ”The patriarch also suggests creating shelters for little mothers, because some young mothers do not have abortions, give birth, but I don’t know t where to go. So let's take the money from the ROC and give them to our oligarchs, they know how to dispose of them, and we will drive children abroad on a commercial basis, do you want it, ardent whistleblowers? .. And what about the Catholic Church doing with the children ? In the Australian state of Victoria, the Roman Catholic Church confirmed that 600 children were victims of pedophile priests, but according to human rights advocates, the number of victims, including unregistered cases of violence, can reach 10 thousand people. According to official statistics, most episodes were recorded between 1960 and 1980 years. Before the renunciation of 2013 in February, Pope Benedict XVI designated the main problem of the Church entrusted to his care: the apparent crisis of Catholicism in Old Europe. "The temples are empty," and the confession of the Christian religion becomes a pure formality. European leaders extol Benedict XVI for his “courageous deed”, but actually pursue a policy with which the Church cannot agree. Everywhere legalized same-sex marriage, the adoption of children by homosexual couples. A huge blow to the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and scandals inflicted on the priests, pedophiles, broke out just under Benedict XVI. What has been hidden for decades, but responsibility for what happened, according to unwritten canons, has been revealed stories, Pope Benedict XVI had to take over. Whether these Latin facts do not want the Latin Shenderovichs to turn their precious attention and direct their journalistic fervor there?
Now, regarding the qualifications of a hyperactive journalist in the field of denigration. Latynina: “But the uneducated segments of the population are descendants of Soviet atheists there. Educated strata - they consider themselves part of the European liberal tradition. But if there is a person who really wants to sacrifice himself for God's sake, well, he will go there, will accept Islam, go to the mountains. And it turned out that Russia is not so ready to return to primitive totemism, only instead of a totem to worship some religious object that gives many, many apartments, residences and other benefits through the sacred king and leader of society. As that stage of human development, which, as it turned out, Russia has passed. ” In its terms, all Soviet atheists were uneducated, and she considers educated only those who are part of the European liberal tradition. Here, she clearly contradicts herself, because in all of her recent “writings” she curses Europe for this excessive Euro-liberalism, whose carriers are called Runet bloggers “liberastov”. As for the last phrase, it is unclear who or what she calls a "religious subject", which distributes apartments and residences. If she sees a clergyman under the subject, then she is simply a “talking head,” although she does not know what she is saying. The conversation resembles the incoherent speech of a person under anesthesia, where doses may be charged in dollars.
It is characteristic that attacks on the ROC originate primarily from such as the Latin-Shenderovich, the warrant, the protein, the loiko. All this is happening against the backdrop of, as the Patriarch said, “a very dangerous prospect of alienation of Russians, primarily Russian youth, from the state, state structures, and business management,” and I would add to the media here. As for business, so-called. It would be more correct to describe oligarchs as especially dangerous criminals-destroyers of statehood (PLO).
Anti-Russian policy in Russia, in my opinion, is conducted by the state itself. As Kholmogorov noted, if the Russians give up on everything, the state will simply cease on our territory. And it will stop for everyone, including officials, businessmen and privileged ethnic elites.
No, guys, Democrats, only tea (Vysotsky). We Russians will go the other way. It is necessary not to “disarm” orphanages and shelters at the church (financially) and bring them to a deplorable level, like in some state-run orphanages, but on the contrary, pull state-owned ones to church ones. And I would even agree if any church leader will have hours for several thousand green, yet this is far, far from the mode of burning life in Courchevels, on yachts, islands and helicopter hunts of these crazed new Russian (pro-Western) nouveau riche. Personally, I would have put them all on my knees, praying to God, but for 200 years they will not be atone for the sins that they have created with their own people, like an alien horde. It should also be noted that one of the largest religious communities in America has a turnover of more than $ 50 billion per year, while conducting a diverse business in areas completely unrelated to religious activities, and, most importantly, that no one condemns them for it, and there is not even a mention of this in the local and foreign media! Yes, and the Catholic Church did not fold as it turned out. The German Catholic Church owned the publishing house Weltbild, which produced such “erotic” books as “Take me here and now” or “Dirty stories.” The annual turnover of the company was 1,7 billion euros. In 2009, the GCC tried to sell a scandalous publishing house, but there was no buyer, and church representatives tested a long-known method: they launched an offensive, catching the media in a “targeted persecution of clergymen”. The western church also has quite decent sources of income, such as large-scale investments in real estate or government bonds.
The Orthodox Church in Russia plays an important role as a political institution. It is the ROC that serves as the foundation on which an interfaith peace is possible. Russia is a country in which all world religions exist, and peace depends on the position of the Orthodox Church, which in other countries is often violated with bloody feuds.
In the ROC worry about the offended feelings of believers. Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin rightly, in my opinion, equated an insult to Patriarch Cyril to insult Orthodox shrines, desecrate graves and the national flag.
From reliable sources it is known that Russia has recently received a lot of money to pay for ordered articles that discredit the Russian Orthodox Church, the episcopate, and especially Patriarch Kirill. But this can be easily seen in practice, they, the “writers”, as mushrooms, climbed up in a multitude in recent years, for the entire post-war period, before they were much less, if we include the world media. Who writes: Irina Wojciech, Stanislav Belkovsky, A. Skobov, Moshkin, Loiko, Maria Miller, Stonewall ...
All these "zakaznikam" well answered blogger "Orthodox". “Perhaps, the ROC suffers from spreading rot to representatives of other confessions? We ourselves will deal with their problems. Do not interfere.
In a broader context, it can be specifically argued that there is some kind of information war going on, which the government is clearly losing for various reasons, and this also needs to be talked about. This primarily speaks of the wrong selection and placement of personnel. Instead of professionals, officials of all levels are chosen, apparently, solely on the basis of personal, family ties, when an uneducated person can be the minister of education, the health care is managed by the keeper of the pension fund, the doctor is the doctor for medicine, etc.
Typical comments on this issue in the comments Runet. Visitor "Vladislav" from Ukraine: "Our Runet for the most part, apparently, mentally ill people. All attacks on the ROC in the end will not damage the ROC, and the attackers. If you do not believe in God, this is your choice, but why are you attacking the church? Do you really have no other occupation than to count the cost of vestment of the Patriarch? American devilry could not destroy Orthodox Russia from the outside, trying to destroy it from the inside. ” Or again: “Russia” “agrees with the opinion of the Patriarch, no matter how they call him names, that the people who cannot protect their shrines have no future. Revolutions begin with the destruction of faith and morality. All this has already passed. Only faith can save this crazy world. ”
Now about the algorithm for the operation of some "friendly" Russian Internet resources, and not secondary ones, included in the 3rd or 4th hundred of the main media. An article lampooning the Patriarch was published on one of the news sites back in September 2012 But on the title page of Rambler in the center there is a large link to this article, which can be found in the headings of the .ru zone, but the link was posted on February 10, 2014. How long it stood before or after is not known , but for all these resources listed above, this was such an important article that it has been revived since 2012. In this article, someone Mikhail Moshkin describes how a certain chairman of some "OZPP", I don't know how it stands, conducted a whole study of the Patriarch's biography, where he dug right from the 60s of the last century (I wonder how much he was then) and saw that the future patriarch was ordained a hierodeacon at 22 years old, and elevated to the rank of archimandrite at 24 years old, while the rules suggest a minimum age of 25 years, and this he put forward as one of the many accusations with which he "rolled" on him. Well, firstly, in the 60s, in Soviet times, the church, to put it mildly, was not favored by the Soviet leadership. Serving the Lord was far from a prestigious business, and young people were not eager to become church ministers, as in MGIMO, and there was not an abundance of intelligent and capable ministers of Orthodoxy. And, thank God, that in those days someone discovered great abilities in a young man, which, as we now know, are fully realized, it's the same as if you entered Moscow State University at the age of 14-15, I personally don't see anything here bad. Further, the author writes about the desire for luxury and trade in religious objects at the temple, etc. As for luxury and large-scale business, by the way, not connected with religious activity, see above about the largest religious movement in America.
Fortunately, in the ROC for many years, many clever, versatile ministers of the church have accumulated, one of the brightest representatives of this cohort is Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin. Here are a few of his judgments that, in our opinion, are very relevant. "Many today speak with contempt and disdain about Orthodox nations as economically unsuccessful. They build graphs of the dependence of economic prosperity on religion. Say, atheists are the most successful, Protestants are a little less, Catholics are even less, and the Orthodox are the poorest and most unhappy." The priest does not enter into controversy with these graphomans, but recalls the following: “Many modern economists who do not suffer from market fundamentalism say that economic growth and consumption cannot be infinite and that people who can move away from the idea of indispensable and unrestrained growth , will prove more successful in conditions when this growth stops. ”Chaplin believes that there are certain circles who want to use any excuse to“ train ”the Church, to silence it and not go to societies nnuyu pad.
Against the ROC systematically and massively used dirty information technology. Even the clocks in the hands of the Patriarch already appear as something immoral. Here the principle is as simple as an orange. Whatever put on - the craftsmen of this bungled dirt. They, the spiteful critics, even tried to push the church and the authorities together with their heads, however, so far without success. (Here the group “Pussy Riot” was tried to be used as live torpedoes, see the article “Patriarch Kirill took offense at Putin.”)
But for me personally, the Patriarch’s concern over the current situation in Russia in the information space is most relevant for me, when he urges Russians not to become victims of “information technologies” aimed at “drastically changing the historical course of our Fatherland”. How powerful is the informational pressure of the world wolfhounds of disinformation, can be judged by the fact that 20 Nobel laureates and 200 writers signed up to criticize the ban on gay propaganda among children and adolescents. One can only guess about the strength and power of such pressure on the part of these wolfhounds, it is akin to a natural calamity on a global scale.
In this regard, it is appropriate to cite an excerpt from the messages of the Patriarch regarding the information with which he addressed the residents of Transnistria:
“Today there are many and many temptations, especially for the younger generation. Today, every society is information openly and often unarmed. The flow of information that falls on people, confuses concepts, prevents a person from making the right choice, to build a value system that would help him not to get lost, not to disappear, to remain himself. And this problem faces not only the individual, it faces societies and states. And we know how sometimes information flows provoke social chaos, civil clashes, wars. See what is happening today in the Middle East. After all, everything does not begin with external aggression, but everything begins with the fact that chaos arises inside. And it is no coincidence that it arises. Through information, it is possible today to influence people in such a way that it is easy to push one with the other. And especially vulnerable are those societies where there are different nationalities. It is easy to kindle the hatred of some against others, bring down public consent, turn the people, society or state into ruin, into chaos, surrender to the winners. That's why whenever you open the media, remember that you need to miss everything that comes to you from outside your bedrooms, it can be not only benevolent, but also hostile. Therefore, each person should have a criterion, that is, a measure, the ability of good to separate from evil, truth from lies, destructive provocations from the sincere intentions of people to help. And this concerns not only Transnistria. It today concerns the whole human race. This applies today to Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, all those countries with which Transnistria is connected with history and faith. And because as the Patriarch of All Russia I pray for all of you, for me there are no boundaries, for me there are no political contradictions, for me there are no right and wrong, for me there is a people who are united under the cover of our Church, and I believe, over which extends the Protection of Our Lady. ”
Active religious expansion in Russia holds a number of foreign countries. Turkey is actively trying to expand its influence in the Transcaucasian republics, in Tatarstan and even in some regions of Siberia. At the same time there is the spread of Islam in the Turkish-Saudi version, that is, the Wahhabi. Sometimes it is proposed to repair this or that educational institution at the expense of Turkey, and then open the Turkish branch in it. In Moldova, European officials still split the local Orthodox diocese, and now there was no surprise when the Moldovan metropolitan awarded the leader of one of the local political parties, the name of which includes the word “liberal” - a tireless leader of the homosexual movement.
The influence of the newly imposed religious sects in Russia has become the scale of the epidemic. You can already talk about "religious slavery." Kazan investigated criminal cases related to the activities of a religious organization found in the city. In the sect of 70, people, including children, lived in complete isolation from the outside world, without light, amenities and other benefits of civilization, fully submitting to their elderly leader, who declared himself a new prophet. According to statistics from the Russian Association for the Study of Religions, there are 80 large and at least a thousand small sects in the country. More than one and a half million people are involved in their activities. Many of them sold all their property, refused to work, friends, acquaintances, and traditional moral values only to follow the teachings of adventurers who declared themselves new prophets.
When you read articles of such "propagandists" as Latin-Shenderovichi, the authors do not leave the feeling of constant gloating over any trifle, the negative still rushes from all the holes, the feeling of disgust and the mud poured on you does not leave for a long time after reading these "creations".
In conclusion, we offer and even insist on the introduction of the institution of licenses for working in the media. Here exams should be introduced, giving the right to conduct this activity, such as:
1. Exam in Russian language proficiency.
2. Exam on the basics of Russian legislation in the field of media.
3. Methods of objective presentation of information.
4. Ethical issues when throwing information into the broad masses of the population.
5. Theoretical foundations of working with information: the theory of storage and transmission of information. Psychological and informational protection of the population, including by age categories. Separately for children, adolescents, adults, seniors.
6. The ability to properly place accents.
Information
