Righteous Russia - Part 8

Systems and Shadows

New to Righteous Russia? Start Here.

In this series so far, we have explored pieces of Russia’s past—both real and projected onto us by the powers that would be—examined what we can of its present through the fog of Fifth-Generation Warfare, and taken our own stabs at predicting its future, and by extension the future of our multi-polar, sovereign world.

We have explored everything from the centuries-long PsyWar conducted on the collective mind of the west when it comes to the ‘Soviet Red’ Russian, just as we have attempted to shed light on the suffering, both literal and spiritual of the Russian peoples over that time period. We have explored the doom of the early and mid-twentieth century, the false hope of the late twentieth century, and the globalist-eschewing leadership demonstrated thus far in the twenty-first century—a point of analysis that is only recently garnering attention.

We even took a detour to explore the potential long-term future I envision, with Russia as one of two or three mirrored sovereign empires we might see that will help to lead and bolster us into a world that is somewhat difficult to imagine under the present circumstances. This is a concept I will return to in the finale of Righteous Russia. But for now, I want to concentrate on the more immediate future, and explore what moves Russia and its most public and potent allies are making from a foundational level that could go a long way toward ripping out [their] system of control from the roots.

In order to understand how this can be and is being accomplished, however, we need a refresher or a clarification on who [they] are and what their system entails.

Simply put, while [they] have gone by many names and have spawned many factions throughout the centuries, and, the deeper the rabbit hole goes, perhaps much longer than that, the reason I tend to distill their operation down to one broad, bracketed word is because it is … incomplete to refer to them as any of the following:

A Globalist Cabal.

The Deep State.

A Decentralized Criminal Apparatus.

A Centralized Financial Cartel.

Now, those of you who’ve been following the Shadow War for any length of time, and whose research has reached back long before the public-facing Trump era, will know that all of the above monikers are accurate. But, [they] are all of the above, and then some. It is in reducing them down into a single force that we can best define them and, therefore destroy them given the right strategies, and that is what I firmly believe world leaders such as Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are doing.

Additionally, as discussed in many features I write around these parts, we cannot know what we cannot know, and while I do make predictions and projections, I do not pretend to be able to see what we cannot see.

What we are watching is a titanic war being fought in the mists over an eternal lake. We stand on the shore, observing flashes and plumes, gouts and gusts and storms raging over the roiling waters. We cannot see who is fighting at all times. We catch glimpses of leaders and enemies, and sometimes the two merge and meld back into the vapors, leaving behind the ghosts of images we puzzle over while the discordant sounds of their tumult resumes in the smoke.

But water tells the truth. And if we are calm and quiet, keen of mind and purposeful with our discernment, we can read the ripples that come back to shore, and see what story they tell.

That is what I attempt to do at Burning Bright, and that is what I have attempted to do with the Righteous Russia series.

So, if we have accepted that [they] are a great many things, all unified in common, dark purpose, which of their institutions are most powerful and thus, most threatening to our designs and the designs of all sovereign men on the shore?

The Bank.

Cliché. Reductionist. Broad.

Say whatever you want, but know that, in subverting the definition of money and therefore exchange throughout our history, [they] engineered the ultimate masterstroke. By allowing these illusionists and alchemists to transform gold, silver and honesty into slashes on parchment and numbers on screens, promises without backing and with the threat of usury underlying it all, they took the foundation of our freedoms.

Over the decades, they have first issued national representations of money and then stripped them of their inherent value, further detaching them from pegs to true wealth, power and production and melding the many hydra heads of the fiat beast into an affront to trade and as a result, to the honesty of doing a thing, making a thing and the good word of trading it.

Most of us know this. Some on a baseline, instinctual level. Others on far more advanced, detailed and historical bases than I.

The Bank is our grand enemy. And The Bank is everywhere. It has many names and takes many forms, but it is all the same beast, and it has been enslaving each nation and wielding one against the other for an age. No wars have been fought that did not have the Bank’s tacit approval or planning. No battles have been lost without the seesaw balance of gain tipping ever in its favor.

No nation has ever prospered without its blood being drained by those whose name finds its origins in the vampiric myth of the Carpathian Mountains.

The enemy we are fighting is mythic, and there are few men in this world who have managed to stand against them for long. History is littered with the bodies and melancholy memories of those that have tried. We will leave their names aside for now.

Vladimir Putin is one of those still standing. He has learned from the mistakes of the others and he has either engineered or fortified an alliance that now stands as the greatest chance we have had in centuries of not simply standing as a bulwark against their subversion, but in marching forward for the first time, lockstep and resolute, intent on wiping their scourge from all lands.

But first, Putin did so in his own lands, and therein lies the first true, verifiable evidence of the war in the mists. The one that matters most, and the one Russia has been fighting longer than any other.

Vladimir Putin, while long grinding against [their] operations, issued his firmest declaration of war several years ago in 2018, when he made the following statement to Russian Parliament for the world to hear:

Via TASS

“Certainly, we are thinking about what we need to do in order to get free of this burden. Furthermore, our partners are helping us by introducing all these unlawful restrictions and violating principles of the global trade, because the whole world sees the dollar monopoly is unreliable; it is dangerous for many, not only for us,” said Putin.

He continued, declaring that, “This is not merely a separation from the dollar; this refers to the need of strengthening our economic sovereignty.”

And perhaps most telling:

“We used to behave naïvely, but now we see that the WTO [the World Trade Organization] rules are all too often broken, the restrictions are imposed for political reasons, which they call sanctions. Plus more and more of them are imposed to secure its favorite competitive advantages.”

My, my, my. How prescient, wouldn’t you say? Banks and sanctions. Vampires and threats.

Now, this was not the first time Putin had spoken about the hegemony of the U.S. Dollar, nor the need for Russian monetary sovereignty. It was, however, the first time he had so boldly fired a shot across the bow of the beast itself.

In the years that followed, while most of the international media and cultural attention was caught up in the great MAGA Crusade in the west, Putin was going to work in the east, diversifying from the U.S. Dollar into gold and other foreign currencies, the better to set a foundation and to pivot should he take Russia out of the Banking Cartel’s system entirely.

In addition to shoring up his own nation’s financial security—the key marker in sovereign ability—Putin began forming alliances with other nations who were similarly antagonistic toward the Banking Cartel. You may have heard of them.

BRICS. Soon to be BRICS-SATE.

Brazil. Russia. India. China. South Africa. Saudi Arabia. Turkey. Egypt.

Hardly a collection to scoff at, and representative of half of the world’s population and nearly half of its GDP, the BRICS alliance is the beginning of the end for [them,] which might give you some indication of exactly why its leaders, from Putin himself to Jair Bolsonaro and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (a name many of you recognize as being one of the earliest ‘surprise’ allies of Donald Trump,) these leaders have begun to build a parallel economy not on fiat threats and promises, but on oil, gold and food.

In short, they are replacing the unreal with the real. Illusion with truth.

This is a unified front against the U.S. Petrodollar, a moniker that is only national insofar as the Federal Reserve Bank is currently the chosen alpha branch of the cabal, but which bears no allegiance nor fealty to American politicians or people. The Petrodollar has been the most effective and insidious tool of international economic slavery the world has seen in some time. In forcing nations to trade the lifeblood of their own lands in the fiat of the very empire that has sought to dominate and subjugate them, the bankers have both captured and mocked would-be sovereigns the world over.

And for any that have stepped out of line in the ensuing decades, from Saddam Hussein to Muammar Gaddafi—and in the more distant past, the scions of the Kennedy clan—subterfuge and threat was actualized, resulting in assassinations and wars that served to simultaneously eliminate threats to the false system while ensuring profits for it.

Vladimir Putin has long known that, in order for Russia to achieve true sovereignty and strength on the world stage, the Petrodollar must be destroyed. And he knows as well, that, powerful as Russia is and rich as it is, even she cannot do so alone.

Aside from his public alliances with the aforementioned nations, I believe Putin has engineered a Reverse Hegelian Dialectic to trap the Controllers in their own game.

You know the technique: problem, reaction, solution … with the former created to serve the latter.

As I have said in many a piece, weapons—even those of the most insidious and subversive psychological variety—are merely tools, and we have allowed [them] to wield them exclusively for far too long.

In Putin’s version of the Hegelian Dialectic, the problem has been identified as the Petrodollar, which is itself representative of a closed loop trade system. It is ‘inside money’ that penalizes actual production and leeches value from nations that would dare to run their own economies on anything that isn’t green-tinged debt.

You see, all [they] are is a collection of Systems.

The Media Industrial Complex is a system of projected ‘expert’ authority that obfuscates rather than spreads the truth. Politicians are a collected human system of parasites, leeches and Globalist marauders, not leaders. The financial system we discuss today is not based on production, but on debt, projection and intentional confusion.

All the West is a System.

From psychological to political to financial, the end goal of Globalism and thus, slavery is to create Systems and collectives of everything. Systems are the death of sovereignty and free will. Systems invite servitude. They are not alliances out of choice, but chains out of cold function and artificial necessity.

Systems without Substance. That is what [they] have offered the world. They have built layers of illusion atop the real, and done so with such long-term vision and dogged, whipped determination that most have forgotten the difference between the two.

Tom Luongo put it quite well in a recent piece discussing Putin’s war on the Petrodollar:

“Today’s ‘Inside Money’ standard, known colloquially as the Dollar Reserve standard, is actually what I like to call ‘Milton Friedman’s Nightmare.’ It is nothing more than a system of competitively devalued and inflated debt-based scrips running around drinking each other’s milkshakes until everyone’s glass is empty.”

Systems without Substance. Promises built atop lies. Oceans of rotting nothing built atop something that has been buried so deep it has been lost. Forgotten.

But not by all.

As a reaction to this very real problem, Putin has weened his nation off of the dollar and has begun to put the pieces in place for a solution—that being an open trade system, pegging his own sovereign currency to oil and allowing for its settlement in gold. Not only has this insulated Russia from the dollar, but it has encouraged other nations to trust in trade with Russia herself, knowing that such trade is not predicated on the Ruble alone, but on the golden money of God underlying the value of everything from antiquity to the modern age.

Gold is the universal language, with each respective currency acting as translation layers atop it. Gold provides the trust, while a variety of currencies provide the diversification and accounting for each nation’s respective and REAL production, whether that be in the form of oil, wheat or any number of commodities.

In so doing, Putin has begun to show the world that an era of outside money is possible. Money pegged to each nation’s real wealth, measured in production, resources and services rather than solely on the arbitrary medium of exchange. And while gold may be the trust underlying this new system, it is only a representation of the truth of each sovereign nation’s production.

Immutable and eternal.

The Petrodollar is merely the latest in a long line of dominant—and temporary—fiat currencies throughout human history that are eventually revealed as little more than faith-based ponzi schemes enforced through violence and centralization. By removing the dominance of the one, other sovereigns will find the chance to rise up and level the economic playing field.

And if and when the projected ‘value’ of that dominant fiat is exposed as the lie it is, the people will not blame Vladimir Putin and his sovereign alliance. They will blame the illusionists that sold them the lie in the first place.

For the true wealth of the banking elite—an enemy that, though indistinct is largely recognized by minds in all nations and on all manufactured ideological ‘sides,’—lies in the assets they stole from us, the financial bubbles they pumped up and then blew up in cycles whose timing they pretend to be ignorant of.

These assets are treasures that can and will be returned to the free peoples of the world when the hall of mirrors they have erected lies in shattered shards.  

Putin, with Russia behind him is in the midst of engineering their fall.

And as I said before, he is not alone in this task. He has amassed a mighty fellowship that has the Deep State Controllers quaking in their vampiric boots as if a forest of silver spears stands aligned against them.

Together, Russia and China—perhaps the most enigmatic of nations on the world stage, and one I plan to take the risk of diving into in my next long-form series—have the power to confront the entirety of the west on financial terms. Combine this with my belief that the U.S. Military apparatus, which has long been used as the unwitting enforcement arm of the Globalist Bankers is currently in a state of Devolution, and therefore, utterly inert for [their] ends, and the ground has never been more ripe for Putin, Xi and the other leaders of the Sovereign Alliance to make their moves, and to do so boldly as the gold and potent as the oil underlying them.  

In China alone, Russia has an ally that can account for enough GDP to threaten the hegemony of the Globalist West, especially when combined with the production capacity of India, a new, major ally that has joined in with the collective the Deep State would have you conditioned to view as a New Axis of Evil.

The expansion of BRICS is not just saber rattling. It is a herald of the future to come. A future that is being laid out before our eyes, and a distinct signal that Russia is not nearly as isolated as NATO-aligned Deep State nations would have you believe.

As we explored in the last entry of Righteous Russia, at the end of the day, power is power. Not the appearance of it. Not the threat of it. Not leverage on behalf of it. The thing is the thing.

And while Russia no doubt wields significant power, even that mighty siren could be undone, and has in the past should her enemies surround her like wolves on a flagging bear. Like jackals on a tiger. But now, without the fangs of the U.S. Military and having earned the ire of other sovereign states, the Deep State collective known as the European Union would do well to heed the warnings and diminish before they are destroyed.

The counter to a System is Substance. The counter to subterfuge is boldness. The counter to a lie is the truth.

Regarding all of the above, it’s doubtful I’ll find much argument in this community, but one question rises above the rest: in the war against [their] Systems, is Putin’s Gamble working?

In truth, wars are not linear. Which side is winning and which side is losing often depends on the time, the theater and the engagement, not to mention the perspective of the observer.

Still, recent developments suggest that the EU is on the back foot, which means the Globalists are on the back foot … which means the Bank is on the back foot.

Without the compromised and misled might of the U.S. Military to suck into another forever war in the alternately frozen and thawing mires of the proxy Prussian state of Ukraine, the only teeth the Bankers have are sanctions, and as we have discussed in the recent past … the teeth of jackals are yellowed wicks in the face of the tiger’s open maw.

Putin, as it turns out and as we continue to see with each passing day and each passing alarm sounded over the impending dark winter set to engulf the subjugated peoples of Europe, does not bluff.

Sanctions cannot take away Russia’s natural resources nor its international alliances. The FED, the ECB and the BIS can print dollars and euros and settle debts and disputes in ledgers, but they cannot create anything, and they cannot wield that which they no longer control, that being literal might to go along with the illusory kind. We—and by extension, Vladimir Putin—have Donald Trump and his Combatant Commanders to thank for that, revealing the American contingent’s current role in the planned demolition of the System of Systems.

But why has Russia been chosen to lead the charge on this and many other fronts in the Shadow War?

Russia, as it turns out controls 30% of world wheat production, 17% of its corn, 32% of its barley and 15% of its fertilizer. It is one of the most oil-rich nations on the planet with one of the largest stockpiles of gold, and perhaps the only military that could stand for any length of time on an open battlefield against that of the collected west.

Russia has countered the sanctions of the west with consequences. They have begun a domino effect that has chiseled the first cracks in the Petrodollar pillar—an obelisk that many have died to preserve, even without their knowing. A dark spire that led to Forever Wars that eventually shattered the very left-right paradigm that prevented Americans from unifying for decades before.

As is typical of ingenious, insidious Prussian strategy, the Controllers subverted the real with the unreal. They made the representation of a thing more valued than the thing itself. This recalls the philosophical differences between Plato and Aristotle, the former of whom considered the ideal of a lion its most perfect state of non-being, and the latter of whom argued that the thing itself—the lion on the plains—was the ultimate form in place of the ideal.

Unlucky for [them,] Vladimir Putin is not the representation of the Russian Tiger or the Soviet Bear. He is the tiger. He is the bear. And he is done threatening.

You’ve seen it in the EU, where the fallout of withheld Russian energy threatens instability that could rival that of the engineered World Wars. You’ve even seen it beginning in the U.S., where the Federal Reserve seeks new words and narrative spells to cast upon the populace in defense of their parasitic existence.

The Controllers’ explanations of their crumbling system and the need for it in the first place recalls the phenomenon of a frustrated parent answering legitimate curiosity from a child with that magical, eternal lie of a word … ‘because.’ The parent has taken on the role of a central authority figure—a deity—to the child. A being with the power to explain something without explaining it.

The Banking System is one of many Systems the Controllers have used to subvert Republics the world over. The System is their stand-in for God, lacking morality, empathy or virtue. The System works to preserve itself. It is self-fulfilling and self-perpetuating … and if problems do not exist for it to solve by way of its core functions, problems must be created. If no problems are created, the System loses its life blood, and all systems run on the same life blood.

Belief.

Putin and his allies—overt and silent-running, to be revealed in the time of Donald Trump’s choosing—hold the keys to Deep State hegemony in their hands. This Sovereign Alliance has cast allies as enemies and twisted the magicians’ spells back around on them.

In closing, I will not say that we are not on a road toward instability and even strife as these Systems come crashing down around us, but I have argued in the past and I believe wholeheartedly that, when all is said and done, and when we are picking up the pieces left in the wake of the Shadow War, figures like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will not be seen as destroyers, but as builders.

The pillars are crumbling. The supports are trembling. The foundation is being laid.  

We have lived a long time in a world of systems and shadows. But there is light in the flashes of foam on the lake, and if you watch the ripples along the shore, you’ll see flecks of gold in their quieting wakes.

These are not heralds of despair, but of hope. Steadfast, unyielding and inevitable as dawn to the fleeing night.

As darkness to light.
