Reports: Dugin Hospitalized for “Heart Attack;” Russian “National Republican Army” Claims Credit for Bombing [UPDATE 1]
Reports: Dugin Hospitalized for “Heart Attack;” Russian “National Republican Army” Claims Credit for Bombing [UPDATE 1]
I will update this post.
Background here.
IMO, either this is a fake story or they had a backup plan to take Dugin out. The “heart attack” narrative should, to say the least, be strenuously scrutinized.
In another fascinating development, a brand new group connected to Russian dissident Ilya Ponomarev, has claimed credit for the bombing.
Here’s their statement in Russian:
Here’s the translation:
During these moments, there will be many narrative cross-currents, as the propagandists jockey for position with legitimate sources. I have no idea how “real” the Republican National Army is but this is a hell of a thing to take credit for.
Dugin and his daughter are genocidal war criminals. No quarter should be given. If Russian dissidents are really taking this kind of action against “Putin’s Brain” it seems that Ukraine may become less of a priority for Putin very soon. Let’s hope so.
Just for “fun,” here is Dugin at concert for Aleister Crowley in 1995. Dugin has incorporated occult, Satanic and neo-nazi ideas into his propaganda for decades.
[UPDATE 1]
Of course “Putin’s Priest,” Head of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), Kirill, has weighed in with his condolences.
But even the ultra-fascist ROC is not regressive enough for Dugin; he is an “Old Believer” which is a group that wants to go back to a fundamentalist form of christo-fascism from before the 1660s.
Great post, Jim. I learned a number of things from it. Also, the "Old Believers" in the Russian Orthodox tradition remind me very much of the "Traditionalist" Catholics, who hate everything introduced with Vatican II brought by the Ecumenical Council and Pope John XXIII. Similar thinking, common cause?
Wtf did I just watch?
