RI... Globalists, who want to be the only elite in the world, have forced different but in some ways similar countries to unite against them. How did this happen, and why has the President of Russia become a symbol of resistance to globalization?
How the globalists hung the Soviet elites out to dry
The collapse of the USSR was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the late 20th century, yet part of the Soviet elite had high hopes for it, having done everything they could to make it happen. The Soviet system did not allow them to fully enjoy the fruits of their positions, and Stalin’s imperfect system of checks and balances put their status at permanent risk.
The United States made a very good offer to the Soviet elite.Calling off the ideological confrontation, they would get rid of the socialist system, declaring it outdated, and in return, they would gain their “rightful” place as part of the future global world elite. This is how the Soviet Union met its untimely demise.
As early as 1992, it became clear that their American partners had left the gullible Russians out to dry, taking advantage of human weakness to “solve the Russian issue once and for all” and become the sole world hegemon. The collapse of the Soviet Union was followed by war in Chechnya and the attempt to have Russia itself collapse into a number of conflicting or competing national and regional entities.
It was time for the elites to find a way out.
The Putin phenomenon
The rise of the current Russian leader and his characteristics are analyzed in many articles and books. I will mention a few.
Vladimir Putin is not a protester, nor “heavenly punishment” for the system that brought down the USSR. He is the product of a sector that felt “cheated” and tried to restore the former Soviet status quo, without returning to the socialist system, which weighed on the elites in the 1980s. Thus, his efforts to build state capitalism, his reliance on the former Soviet elites who privatized Soviet property, with only Washington's outright henchmen opposing him and eventually crushed.
To understand Vladimir Putin’s logic, we need to remember that he is a judoka. Judo is not simply a martial art, but first and foremost a philosophy. Here is a quote from Russian Wikipedia:
“Unlike boxing, karate, and other martial arts that place special emphasis on striking, the foundations of judo are throws, submission holds, grappling, and choking techniques on the ground. Strikes, and some of the most dangerous techniques are studied only as kata. Judo differs from other forms of wrestling (Greco-Roman, freestyle) by its reduced emphasis on physical strength and a wide variety of permitted techniques. With its important philosophical component, judo is based on three main principles: mutual welfare and benefit in order to achieve greater progress, the most efficient use of body and spirit, and “softness controls hardness. The judoka is traditionally expected to strive towards the goals of physical development, preparation for hand-to-hand combat, and consciousness, which requires discipline, perseverance, self-control, respect for etiquette, and understanding the relationship between success and the efforts necessary to achieve it.”
This is an apt description of Vladimir Putin’s leadership. In addition to style, one also needs a loading point, values and structures that can be built using the right style.
Who should be our allies? Traditionalists and Conservatives!
Finding the right loading point is very important. The question is not how to find the model (in this case, of a nation), that you like and that corresponds to your worldview. You need to find a matrix that enables you to achieve this goal using available resources — all this being consistent with the philosophy of judo. In other words, a matrix that would not fragment society but would help recruit enough external allies to help implement your program.
Today, if we examine the people Russia relies on abroad, we’ll see a significant, consistent trend. All, without exception are traditionalists, conservatives, and therefore, anti-globalists.
This logical sequence is very important. In any war, hot or cold, you have to understand who your enemy is and what your ultimate goal is. It’s obvious that Russia’s main enemy in the Third World War that has already begun is not the United States as a country, but the US elite, who consider themselves to be the “world government” of globalization.
Let’s recall the philosophy of judo: “The relationship between success and the effort necessary to achieve it.”
If Russia were to declare the United States as her enemy, this would antagonize the population, which though diverse, to a great extent hates a leadership that has ignored the country’s domestic problems, a parasite that leverages US power to solve its own problems. Putin the Judoka could not afford to let this opportunity go to waste.
There is a significant revolt against the globalist interests of the American elites, in the US and in Europe, as well as across the wider world. It’s the globalists who are the enemy, not the United States, the EU or any other entity. Just see how the European Union is tearing itself apart. In every country in Europe, enemies of a globalized world order, each and every one of whom are traditionalists and conservatives, are rising. Countries that were formerly strangling Russia are now faced with a schism within their own communities and are frantically scrambling – but miserably failing – to build a new matrix, with judo in its purest form the only possible outcome.
Traditional values, or What LGBT and ISIS have in common
The new transnational cultures and countercultures imposed on the world by the globalists, from “people with non-traditional sexual orientation” to ISIS, in fact, are doing the same thing – destroying the traditional world as they prepare the arrival of one that is to be shared.
The LGBT “culture” was created to destroy decadent Europe, while for the religious East they created a fanatical ISIS (after “Al-Qaeda”).The idea of a global caliphate goes together with global values, the key word being “global”. The idea of bringing the world together is threatened by these “values”, creating a united front of resistance to a world so different, and yet so similar, driven by a common goal.
The “Putinization” of the world
Vladimir Putin has chosen a path of development for his country that is attractive to other leaders, and it’s not about imitation. More likely, similar problems call for similar solutions. Seeing your neighbor come out victorious from the same or a similar situation that you are now facing, you follow in his footsteps rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.
The first example, which is now in the spotlight, is the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdo an. Setting aside our prejudices, we see that just like the President of Russia, he uses the traditions of his people as a springboard to fight for their place in the sun (with support from the local elites, none of whom are particularly eager to be crushed by the globalists). He spent his political career rooting out the Kemalists, who “betrayed the national interest” by being at the West’s beck and call. His Justice and Development Party is essentially a center-right traditionalist party, fundamentally no different from France’s Popular Front headed by Marine Le Pen, and other similar, though diverse, anti-globalists. All this makes them natural allies of Putin’s Russia.That is what pushed Erdogan back into “Moscow's tight embrace”. It was the only possible outcome.
The second interesting, colorful, anti-globalist surfaced in the United States. Many people say the rise of Donald Trump is accidental or unique, but in fact, it is neither.
For decades, “traditional” Americans, who couldn’t care less about a Pax Americana, have not had a charismatic leader. They do not want to become the foundation of a new world order, they simply want their country to live the way it did under their grandfathers: rich, peaceful, and trouble-free. They do not need eternal war with everyone just so Wall Street fat cats can multiply their fortunes.
Hence Trump. Having announced his candidacy for the office of President as a Republican, Donald Trump literally exploded that party from the inside by showing how far removed the “leaders of the nation” are from the aspirations of ordinary people. After a brilliant campaign based on the idea of bringing America back to its old path, he crushed all his rivals and was recently nominated as the official candidate of one of the two main parties in the country.
Trump is calling on the US to cast off the shackles of globalism and experience the same transformation that Russia experienced in the 1990s,regaining its industrial capacity and setting clear, realistic goals.
On its face, Erdo an and Putin, and even more so Donald Trump and the President of Russia, have nothing in common. They do not try to be friends just for friendship’s sake. They do not profess boundless love for each other, but they do profess love for their respective countries. And their respective programs leave no room for the globalization that the Anglo-Saxon elites, who believe they are Chosen, have been building for several decades.
This is what unites such seemingly incompatible leaders.

Tatarewicz • Reagan America may have collapsed the Bolshevik Jew USSR but failed to notice that the same "Jews of the worst type" were taking political control domestically to serve Israeli-Rothschild interests.
The Israeli lobby, its Sayanim "army," think tanks and media associates make sure only Israel-supporting Democrats and Republicans are elected to Congress which then votes billions in military and other aid to Israel and trillions to fight (Palestine-supporting) enemies of that illegal state in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, thus ignoring a deteriorating domestic infrastructure plus making it next impossible for Americans to do business abroad.
Yurasumy and fellow scribes need to clearly identify the Globalist/Neocon cabal and explain their globalization-or-perish philosophy 'else we won't come up with a plan to deal with their destructive rampage.
Media Watch • I think politics is becoming a nationalist vs Globalist divide, rather than left vs right that the world grew up with in the 20th century. Globalism represents a strange, counter-intuitive amalgam of hard capitalism and international socialism, what is becoming known as neo-liberalism. This ideology contains such elements as unfettered movement of labour and capital across borders to enrich the boards of global corporations and all that implies for the destruction of jobs and living standards back home. The international socialism elements find this attractive because their ideology is based on "no-borders" as representing some kind of solidarity with the "repressed" peoples of poorer countries, and their natural contempt for indigenous populations as privileged inheritors of their colonial past. This is all presented is a super progressive wrapper, with such obvious elements as active promotion of LGBT and minority rights.
Nationalism is growing organically, bottom up, as a counter weight to globalism, in that people are becoming increasingly aware that they are being injured by the rampage of globalism, and angry that no matter who is elected, nothing changes. Nationalism today, is of a different variant to 20th century nationalism, which was a top down ideology based on racial supremacy and mythologies of fallen peoples that could be restored to their former glory. None of this is present in the new nationalism, because it is a grass roots reaction to events, and therefore largely incoherent and devoid of any defining ideology. It's supporters may not even define themselves as nationalists. +7
Elton Johann • The end of the USSR was the death of any western democracy that might have existed. Reagan & his neocons batted the communist Soviet elites with a sweet offer that they couldn't refuse, " if you end Communism, we will close our eyes and let steal your countries and become wealthy billionaires." Continue, " you can steal the banks, the factories, the hotels, the oil refineries, the buildings, the land and put your names on the titles. " Follow the money and you will find the truth. I was in Romania in 1990 and I witnessed all those former communist thugs becoming super wealthy overnight. They went from living in a one bedroom flat and a 30 years old Renault (Dacia) car into owners of the whole city. +4
Tony B. Kjell Hasthi • The truth is that any other "ism," such as socialism, communism, fascism, never gets beyond coffee house talk unless it is financed. There is only one "ism" that can finance anything and that is criminal capitalism. The soviet was just another monopoly capitalist owned form of slavery from day one. Owned by criminal bankers out of Britain, Germany, Sweden, the U.S. and a few other banker families.
Capitalism itself could not exist without the Rothschild criminal monopoly of debt at usury pretending to be money. Ever since these evil criminals got governments to borrow their phony "bank credit" at usury instead of creating their nation's money free of charge, that cabal has owned the earth and practically everyone in it. Study the Russian Federation central bank and you will find it is no different than every other central bank.
Tony B. ...Marxism is just talk without financing. It could not finance itself into existence. The history of Bolshevik financing is very easy to find today. It was financed by such as Kuhn, Loeb and Jacob Schiff from the U.S. They were NOT Marxists, they were bankers and financier millionaires when a million was a lot of money. They saw profit in owning Russia. In Europe there were various banking families involved such as the Warburgs. Many of these families owed their fortunes to the Rothschilds. By the way, Marx said he was never a "Marxist." Also, many of the original Bolsheviks were Jews from the slums of the East Side of New York. Some of them became high leaders in the soviet, changing their names to Russian sounding ones. The soviet was anything but native Russian in its beginnings. It was a theft of the property of native Russians.
