Delusional Bartholomew and Karloutsos, Promote Lies On Ukraine

Bartholomew: I will not put the Patriarchate’s decisions under the judgment of other Churches!! 

Karloutsos talks about “the ‘inanities’ spouted by Tucker Carlson!!”

By Nick Stamatakis

Those of us who follow closely the events in Ukraine are aware of the dire situation of the Ukrainian Army, which has been eradicated in numbers that are beyond anyone’s imagination.  The Western Main Stream media, the US government, its 3-letter agencies, other institutions, and the leadership of E.U. have started to admit the basic facts:

• The sanctions against Russia have failed (German FM Annalena Baerbock admitted it a few days ago – link here).  She was among the foremost proponents of sanctions and she is now among the many admitting their failure.
• The sanctions have strengthened Russia financially, and its GDP is growing, according to the IMF, a crucial Western institution!!
• The sanctions made Russia stronger militarily: its military factories work 24/7 and produce huge amounts of material.  Russia is ten years ahead in missile technology and recently put the hypersonic Sarmat nuclear missiles into combat duty. How fast are these? Twenty-seven times the speed of sound – practically unstoppable.
• The Ukrainian counteroffensive that started three months ago has failed.
• The real numbers talk about 400,000 to 500,000 dead Ukrainians, and even the NY Times admitted that there is no space in graveyards in Western Ukraine (link here).
• Military experts repeat that because the Russian army played a defensive game, they likely have only 40-50,000 dead.

Against these basic facts, Pat. Bartholomew and Karloutsos, who were since day one acting as operatives of the CIA in Ukraine and everywhere else, are feeling the same “pain”
(to use a mild word), for their total failure as the rest of the Western leadership.  They display the same signs of panic and desperation, i.e., defying reality on the ground and lying, lying, lying until there will be no other option but to admit their failure.

Here is what Pat Bartholomew had to say:

• He will not convene a Panorthodox Synod or a Council on Ukrainian Autocephaly! He will not put the Patriarchate’s decisions under the judgment of other Churches!! This statement alone should allow other Orthodox primates to call a Panortgodox Synod and condemn him as a heretic! He is not the only one allowed to call Panorthodox Synods!
• Rumors have been going on for a while that, after the failure in Ukraine, Bartholomew is trying to apply the same “papism” to Moldova now, seeking to make it an autocephalous church (it is now under the Moscow Patriarchate). But there he will have the significant obstacle of the Romanian Patriarchate: Romanians have a long and painful history on who truly the Phanaritiots are!!
• He accused the Moscow Patriarchate of “justifying an unjust, unholy, unprovoked, diabolical war against a sovereign and independent country, Ukraine.” Not one word against those who, for ten years (since 2014), overthrew a democratically elected government in Kiev, and started killing Russian speakers in Donbas by the tens of thousands – among them many Greeks.
• He laments that “150,000-200,000 Russians have been killed” and “over “100,000 Ukrainians”…  He would not dare pronounce the real number (stated above) that is not only supported by historical data (ratio of deaths between offenders and defenders at previous wars) but also by satellite images of fresh graves and other evidence.  Nobody argues this is not a tragedy – no matter what the real numbers are.  But the evident truth is that Russia consciously chose a defensive positioning and minimized the deaths on its side.
• He presents Met. Epiphanios as a “victim” while it is evident that Epiphanios supports the neonazi government in Kiev that: a) outlawed free press and opposition parties and canceled free elections. b) outlawed the Russian language, and c) attacked the faithful of the under Met. Onufriy (UOC), who leads the autonomous Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the Moscow Patriarchate, consisting of 70% of the Ukrainian Orthodox.  Instead, he insists that more Ukrainians soon will support the heretic Epiphanios…
• He mentions NOT ONE WORD about the attacks on Lavra monasteries, the birthplace of the Russian Orthodoxy and the rumors that he wants them under the Phanar as “stavropegiac”.
• He closed with a message of hatred, expressing his certainty that Ukraine will win the war, because “the truth wins, life wins and the light is victorious over darkness.”  Not even if he was addressing the Christian wars against the Muslims would he ever use such statements…

My friends, this has to be understood as a manifestation of the pain Bartholomew feels under the weight of his mistakes. One of the “seven stages of grief…”

Karloutsos on the other side in a recent interview by 27east.com takes the discussion to a new level attacking even Tucker Carlson!!

• He ignores the neonazi attacks on the 1,000 yr old Lavra Monasteries, and refers to “defrocking one pro-peace (ONE!!) priest and for “substituting the word ‘peace’ for ‘victory’ in Putin-centric prayers mandated by the Russian Orthodox Church hierarchy.”
• He refers to a supposed blessing by a priest of a statue of Stalin when it is clear to all that know Russia that the country has no relations with communism anymore and is fully back to its Orthodox roots…
• Interestingly, he admits that “the Russian Orthodox Church has been historically delegated as the authority to watch over the Ukrainian Orthodox Church”.  But he keeps lying that the Ukrainians asked for their own Church!!! The truth is that Victoria Nuland and the warmongers in DC wanted to use the Constantinople Patriarchate to create a “wedge” between Ukraine and Russia.
• He says that Patriarch Kirill “blessed the Russian army’s weapons”, ignoring the history of Orthodox Hierarchs blessing the Army throughout history!! Shameful!!
• And he closes by attacking Tucker Carlson: “The agonizing conflict in Ukraine, noted Karloutsos, “is a great deal more nuanced than the ‘inanities’ spouted by Tucker Carlson.” 

No more comments from me! The answer to the operatives of the CIA (and the Devil), Bartholomew and Karloutsos, will be given by Christ himself!! They stole and exploited His Church for money and passing glory, they will get the answer directly from Him!
