THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: The Cold War may be over, but the threat of communist Russia has not changed, and the United States has been out maneuvered by one of the oldest tricks in the book - the Trojan Horse.
When the USSR was dismantled in 1991 it was not the end of communism. Then General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev assured the Communist Party that Karl Marx's dream had not died. It was simply changing. The old state was being dismantled because it was bureaucratically unsustainable. In order for communism to advance, it must be liberated from the Soviet state to freely spread throughout the world as "Socialism." Russia was economically broke, and needed time to recover by carefully adopting some capitalist models within a general socialist mindset. It was generally assured that Communism would return to Russia, after a brief absence, under the banner of Socialism. This was nothing new you see, for the USSR always regarded itself not really as "communist," but as the "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics."
The election of Russian President Boris Yeltsin gave the West hope. It was believed that in spite of Gorbachev's pro-communist (pro-socialist) rhetoric, Russia would fully embrace a capitalist economy once the people had a taste of freedom. That didn't happen. In fact, after several years of recession (bordering economic depression) the people began to clamor for the return of communism. Thus Gorbachev's prediction came true with the election of former KGB agent Vladimir Putin...

| Vladimir Putin is the embodiment of the Russian Bear |
Regardless of what you think about Senator John McCain, you must concede that this Cold War veteran has significant knowledge of international affairs, especially as they relate to the institutes of the former Soviet Union...
Vladimir Putin stepped out of the presidency in 2008 due to a Russian law that term limits presidents to no more than two consecutive terms. Unlike the American law that term limits the U.S. president, the Russian president may return to office after sitting out one term. Now it looks like Putin is preparing to throw his hat back in the ring for the 2012 Russian election...
(Reuters) - Russia's paramount leader, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, hinted on Monday he would return to the presidency in 2012 for six more years and said democracy protesters marching without permission deserved to be beaten.Regardless of what happens in the future, we can be sure of a few things. First, Putin will continue to lead Russia further into Communist Socialism. Putin himself is a dictator in the making, a fairly popular one, as he's led the Russian people into economic stability they've not known in decades. He's done this primarily through oil supply and demand. Second, the United States will soon slide from economic recession into depression as the Socialist Trojan Horse we've ingested soon gets the best of us. As a result of this, the West will be increasingly unable to respond to Russian military advances. As John McCain prophetically warned - "watch Ukraine next."
Asked by the Kommersant daily newspaper in an interview whether Russia's 2012 presidential election did not worry him because he had already decided it, Putin replied:
"No, it interests me like...I wanted to say like everyone, but in fact more than everyone else. But I don't want to make a fetish out of it."
Putin ruled as president from 2000 to 2008 before handing the presidency to his chosen successor Dmitry Medvedev, in order to observe a law banning a third consecutive term.
However Putin will be free to run again in 2012 for a newly extended term of six years...

In the long run we know what the final result will be. The Russian Orthodox Church does act as a force for good within Russia, but it does not have control of the state. As a result it is politically helpless. Concerning the beginning of the Great Chastisement promised to come upon the whole world by many Catholic seers and mystics, I will leave you with these predictions...
Russia will march upon all the nations of Europe, particularly Italy, and will raise her flag over the dome of St. Peter's. Italy will be severely tried by a great revolution, and Rome will be purified in blood for it's many sins, especially those of impurity. The flock is about to be dispersed and the pope will suffer greatly.
-- Sister Elena Aiello, 1954
Father, tell everyone that our Lady has, frequently, announced to me that many nations will disappear off the face of the earth. Russia is the scourge chosen by God to punish mankind, if we, through prayer and the sacraments do not obtain the grace of their conversion. Tell them, Father, tell them that the devil has begun a decisive battle against our Lady, because what most afflicts the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the fall of souls of religious and priests.
--- Sister Lucia dos Santos, Fatima Seer, 1961

Sir Catholic Knight I was told as a child of a prophecy that one day Holy Russia would be called upon to re-Christianize West.
It seemed absurd back then but now....
Here's an amazing story, Mr Knight:
In doing repairs to the Kremlin walls, workers uncovered a 16th century Icon of Christ which had been covered over during the soviet era. In a ceremnoy attended by President Medvedev, Patriarch Kirlll re-dedicated and blessed the icon and restored it to its place of honor outside the kremlin walls. Medvedev stated "with the return of this holy image, the Kremlin now has another line of defense" Pete Frey
That Russia will one day be converted there is no doubt. Our Lady assured us that in the end her Immaculate Heart would prevail. However, there is an interim period, which we have not completely passed through yet. The old Russian bear will lash out one more time before he is finally leashed by our Lord and Lady. When that day comes Russia will be converted. This we know for sure, and the groundwork for this has already been laid.
Sir Knight, my point, however, was "which nation is more Christ centered in its government and society?" Could you imagine Sarkozy saying something like that? Or Angela Merkel, or any leader of formerly catholic countries? Certainly America's leading muslim would call such a statement "divisive" I have often thought that it is AMERICA that spreads more error through the world than Matuzka Rossia: everything from McBurgers, to hollywood sleaze, violence and destruction of the family. It is WE who need to be converted..Perhaps Russia will be called upon to re-convert the west. Pete Frey
There is a common misunderstanding that often gets played on topics like this. I think perhaps it is a remnant of our Cold War training in childhood. It's the misunderstanding of "Russia = Bad" verses "America = Good." Thus when we speak of the dangers of Russia, it is automatically assumed, perhaps subconsciously, that we are championing the cause of America and/or Americanism.
In my case, nothing could be further from the truth. When I speak of the dangers of Russia, I do not do so from a pro-American standpoint. Even though I am an American, and I love my country, that does not mean I support my country right or wrong. A true patriot speaks out when his country is wrong, and lovingly seeks to correct it.
It is true the West has adopted many of the extreme Secular (Militant Atheist) mindsets previously promoted by the old Soviet Union. That's part of the Trojan Horse we've swallowed, and it's slowly killing us, making us enemies of Christ and his Church. Our Lady warned us through the three Fatima children that Russia would spread her errors around the world, and indeed she did, right into our own American universities, news rooms and government buildings. The Soviet state was dismantled, but the "errors of Russia" were not. They had already spread around the world, continue to rot what is left of Western Civilization, and destroy what's left of our country.
Meanwhile Russia has recovered financially, and sands ready to make a resurgence, not as it's former Communist self, but as a modified version, adopting capitalist principles where it is self-serving, but couched in the general Socialist mindset.
The only thing Russia has going for it is the resurgence of the Russian Orthodox Church and it's Byzantine Catholic counterpart. This is the seed of Russia's conversion which I have no doubt was planted by Our Lady of Fatima. Still yet, the seed is just barely taking root now, and still has much to grow....
...I assert that the old Russian bear will strike again before it's conversion is complete. This is consistent with current trends, and the message of various Catholic seers. These same seers tell us the Great Monarch from France, allied with Spain, will confront Russia's forces in Germany, and there suffer a great defeat. Then suddenly, according to the seers, Russia is miraculously converted. This seems to coincide with the infamous three-days of darkness.
Now this is just pure speculation on my part, but I suspect Russia will undergo a coupe while her armies are fighting the great Great Monarch in Germany. Just as Russian troops were forced to withdraw from World War I to deal with the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, so I personally suspect her armies will once again be withdrawn from Europe by the new Czar once the coupe is complete. This new Czar, in my opinion, will be coronated by the Russian Orthodox Church (seeking reunification with Rome) and will be allied with the Great Monarch. Then and only then, in my opinion, will Russia be truly converted.
As for the United States, I personally don't believe we will exist as one nation beyond the Great Chastisement. As Our Lady warned us, entire nations would completely disappear from the earth. I believe ours was one of the ones she was referring to. Since the United States was born by the "secret sect" so many Catholic seers have warned against in ages past, I believe it is bound to go the way of extinction when the "secret sect" is finally suppressed. (Trust me, it WILL be suppressed someday.) Thus our nation, as we know it, will disintegrate. Most likely it will be divided, parceled out among the European monarchs, with the Eastern portion returned to a future Catholic King of England. The middle portion falling under the rule of the Great French Monarch, and the Western portion (along with Mexico and other Latin American nations) being returned to the King of Spain. Of course since all of them will be allied with the Great Monarch, and the world will essentially be united under him, the parceled portions of the Late Great United States will just be for administrative purposes.
Sir Knight,
For France and Spain to spearhead the challenge there first has to be a great conversion in both of these countries. France, today, is over run with Muslims and Spain is ruled by Socialist as well as a swelling Muslim population. While I am not well read on prophesies - are there any that foretell the re-conversions of France and Spain in order for the Russian conversion to proceed.
Hank from Texas
It's actually quite the opposite Hank. According to the approved seers and mystics of the Church, the apostasy will actually continue to get worse in France and Spain, as well as all the Western European countries until the Socialist-Muslim alliance is ready to take over. Riots will erupt in Europe, spreading into civil wars. Russia Invades Europe in order to "stabilize" the region, appearently in the wake of an impotent and useless USA that is unable to do anything. (Effectively NATO is defunct.) That's when the Great Monarch arises. He arises in a period of desperation. The irony to the whole thing is that even though he is heir to the French crown, the French people will not want him, but they will be forced to take him because he will be all they have left to survive. It will be this Great Monarch, along with a Holy Pope who will restore the Church by defeating the Muslims and the Socialists, thus bringing conversion to Europe. There is of course a sign sent from God at the same time which will wake up the whole world from it's slumber. It is a great and terrible sign, that cripples the enemies of God thus giving the Great Monarch and his allies the advantage they need to win the war.
Back when my late mother was growing up Michigan's UP, she heard this over and over again from the lips of her Finnish immigrant father. "Never trust the Russians"! Considering how the 20th century turned out, and Russia's behaviour today, that turned ot to be pretty good advice!
Scotju
I'm assuming that Russia will only first be converted after the Eastern Schismatics return to the true Church. Otherwise, how could they be converted, when Catholicism is so persecuted and derided there?
Yes Matariel, my understanding is that the conversion and the reunification with Rome happen simultaneously. How I don't know. All I know is it will happen, as our Lady of Fatima promised, and it will come about the same time as the Great Monarch's victory over the Russian Socialists and radical Muslims.
There have been rumblings of Putin's declaration of embracing Christianity (Orthodox version), I cannot vouch for them, just that it has been in several different places. It has been documented that he, and many of the inner circle have been in regular attendance at various Orthodox services.
If that is so, he would not be the first ruler to embrace "religion" to further his ambitions, the history of France had several rulers that did just that, and more than once.
But reading about what others have posted, interesting.
