A lot to say about this. First of all, it will annoy and frustrate many of our regular readers. This is not the intention. A fuller understanding of the forces at work in the world is our intention.
The RAIR article on this video can be seen here and is a solid representation of the interviewee’s meaning and intentions.
This article is our own specific examination of this material, and an attempt to put it into the greater context of the materials we use to understand the complex nature of the information battle-space which commands our attention, and forms our views of events.
A few notes in terms of Trevor’s statements on the state of the war between Russia and Ukraine: it is hard to believe that anyone that we would get to read, actually KNOWS what is taking place. This site tends to rely on this particular analyst for information on the state of the war between Russia and Ukraine as he has proven to be reliable consistently in terms of locations, wounded and dead and advancement or retreat of forces for either side of the conflict. Therefore, we tend to look at the claims of casualties in the following interview with uncertainty as to their accuracy. Not to diminish Trevor’s interview in any way whatsoever, and perhaps he does have insider knowledge on the war statistics, But that is not the focus of this piece. Alexander Dugin is, and his dialectic of MAGA Communism.
Trevor’s statement of who is best to run the world is entirely correct.
Because the USA has enjoyed total global naval dominance for some time now, the entire world has gotten richer, more peaceful and more advanced.
This is because pirates and hostile nations can no longer threaten international trade on the oceans. And where people are not doing as well as other places is usually because of the dominant philosophy of that region, and usually some form of leftism.
The problem with US global hegemony is that the USA is rapidly devolving into a communist state. And in many ways, already is.
Concerning Alexander Dugin though, this is Trevor’s direct area of expertise. And we have little doubts that he is in the bullseye on this one.

There’s the old adage that you cannot tell your friend that his wife’s cheating or that his baby’s ugly and keep the friendship. The same thing for people who bit too hard and too long on favored active measures. But there you have it, actually the graphic below. It follows classic Russian Active Measures efforts. Note the four levels of activity. 1. At the top of the AM food chain is a Russian government service like the GRU or FSB. They NEVER engage in direct contact with their assets. They create the entities that do.
2. Entities like RIAC, Strategic Culture, and Global Research are sponsored and staffed by a Russian government service.
These are the entities that make contact with their operatives who are recruited because they’re disgruntled, fired, bruised egos, down on their luck, etc.
3. Then you have Russian media like RTV and Sputnik interview the operatives along favorable lines to establish them as voices.
4. And finally, you have pseudo-populists blast the disinformation into target audiences to normalize the information while sensationalizing it.
Stephen indicates above what organizations are knowingly or unknowingly enacting the, let’s call it the Dugin Dialectic, intended to mobilize the anti-woke patriots against the woke communism we are now all aware of, for the purpose of creating “a more masculine, Stalinist communism” or as it is called in the US, “MAGA Communism.” yes, all will be explained in the video. But those who follow Stephen Coughlin’s work or James Lindsay or TIK History will know that dialectics in its simplest form is about smashing together opposite concepts in order to destroy both. We see that with the Trans movement in spades. A male or female that undergoes surgery becomes a monster, not the other sex. This is the real intention. MAGA Communism can be seen the same way. A dialectic created by Dugin to destroy the MAGA movement in order to create a communist state using the people we refer to as MAGA by appealing to their contempt of, let’s call it left, or ‘woke’ communism.
To explain the terms “left communism” and “right communism,” let’s look at chapters 3 to 5 of Postmodernism Explained by Stephen Hicks. This book is available free as an audio book on YouTube fortunately.
You can skip to this segment for a brief look at left Vs. right collectivism, although his excellent look at Nazism and the state of Germany before Hitler’s rise to power is later on in the book and is truly an excellent read/listen.
One can think of pre-WWII Germany this way.
Picture a triangle that is 40 feet high and with the bottom two corners 2 mm apart. From even a short distance away, it would look like a straight line. The bottom left is Soviet or international communism. The bottom right corner is national socialism. The differences are Lilliputian to the people observing from the top of the triangle. We can call those classical liberals, or most of us reading this site. People who believe in a republic where the state power is limited and dedicated to protecting the rights of the individual. The bottom two points of the triangle are different in determining how collectivism will be sorted out and the nature of the details of how the state power will operate, (which is absolute in both cases). They called National Socialism “Right wing” because it allowed for some minimal private control of the means of production. But it was still far left by the standards of an individualist oriented person or society.
The immediate pre-Nazi years in Germany saw street battles between ANTIFA acting for the international socialists, and the Brown Shirts acting for the National Socialists. But when the Brownshirts won those battles, the ANTIFA had no problems changing uniforms and joining the Nazis as both factions wanted to destroy the individualists at the top of the triangle. Again, that is all of us reading this site, generally speaking.
Another way of looking at this triangle might be say, how Islam would view itself compared to Catholicism V Protestantism. Some of Europe’s most bitter wars was fought between these two groups yet they would seem identical in all ways that matter to Islam.
With an understanding of dialectics, Trevor’s thesis in this video makes poetic sense. Communist thought constantly creates opposing groups or uses existing groups and makes them oppose each other for the purpose of destroying the existing order (along with both groups) and moving the culture and society to the left. (Again, meaning more state control.)
To be clear, the left means more government control and power, and less individual rights, and ultimately no individualism at all. Communism will not stop until we are all dead, certainly in one way or another such as spiritually, culturally and in terms of identity, and even actually physically dead, or, we are for all intents and purposes, a kind of insect that clones itself and like aphids, is as related to all other aphids as it is to its own direct progeny, and living and believing whatever narratives the COMINTERN demands we accept that day.
The more International term for what could also be called The Dugin Dialectic, is “National Bolshevism”. What the Christchurch Mosque shooter claimed was his affiliation. And it does dovetail with the interview we did with Brad Johnson in 2019 explaining the motives the New Zealand self described National Bolshevik had when he did his attack. While Johnson focuses on his retaliatory intention against the Islamic mass murder and conquest of the Balkans, and all of his claims are clearly true, there is another layer to the Christchurch attacker’s motives. And that is his Duginist influence.
Loudon explains that the symbol of the Dugin movement is the Black Sun. The banner of National Bolshevism. This is also one of the insignias of the Nazi Ukrainian military unit, the Azov battalion, although their use of the symbol is more Nazi than Duganist one can bet, seeing as how they are fighting Russia.
Here is a section of the cover page of the Christchurch mosque shooter’s manifesto. The Black Sun is clearly at the centre of his graphic.
Here is the interview with Trevor Loudon on Dugin and his movement to usurp the patriot MAGA movement as an agent for communism:
The only other element I wanted to add to this was teh Stephen Coughlin session with Sam Dubé from a month or so ago. This is a 3 hour plus presentation by Maj. Coughlin but taken with these other materials offers a pretty large and complete tapestry of understanding of the matrix we live in now. It is we think, sufficient to see the plays as they happen and before they happen ,as opposed to stressing over apparent contradictions or inability to recognize the thing inside the wrapper because the wrapper claims to be something other than what is really inside. In other words, the names for things is generally to sell you on the thing itself, which is dialectically opposite to the name.
Think, ‘Trans-affirming care” for ‘the state plans to sterilize and neuter your child and it is a crime if you try and stop it’ as one example.
Looking forward to any thoughts and comments on this interview and thank you all for checking out this site.
Tonight at 6:00 the Putin interview with Tucker Carlson is being broadcast on TwitterX. Whatever else anyone thinks about it, or what is said, after 911 a journalist from a major network interviewed Osama Bin Laden in his cave somewhere in Afghanistan. There was nothing wrong with that. Either you believe people should have access to information and make informed decisions, sometimes ones you don’t like, or you do not believe people should be able to deviate in thoughts, words and deeds from official state positions.
Either way, it is noteworthy that the culture is being forced to the left with each new narrative/dialectic inserted into the public info-sphere. So it seems critical to me to allow the maximum possible amount of political and religious speech, including criticism of both. Primarily criticism of both as that is the fundamental purpose of freedom of speech. To criticize religious and political authority. Anything else is gossip.
We also know for a fact that the Western narrative on the Ukraine war is brutally inseminated with lies. Lies of omission primarily. History of the Donbas must start with the Russian invasion apparently. And Russia must be judged on what they did, not what restraint they show based on what they could do. Ukraine must not be judged on what they actually do, but on the imputed nobility of their cause, despite things like press ganging for instance and primarily of Hungarians within Ukraine, but others as well. Ukraine must be judged purely as victims.
But this isn’t a movie. All the above being true does not mean that Putin is without blame. Or that he will tell the truth on Tucker. He is not incognizant of the power this interview may have on a Western audience.
Still, I sit in an interesting position. The team I have had the tremendous privilege to work with for over a decade now, and too many to name, but Gates of Vienna in particular, have been having foreign language videos translated and subtitled from many many languages.
This includes videos of Putin in Russian giving speeches to sector leaders in Moscow, meant for internal consumption. So it will be interesting to see how consistent this interview will be with some of those. If I manage to find some of those older videos, I will repost them for a compare and contrast.
Personally not really excited for this interview as curious as to what will happen to Tucker as a result. We don’t think there will be any surprises in it.
Meanwhile, a couple of clips of interest that are quasi related.
1. Ontario MPP for Lanark, now retired, Randy Hillier said when leaving office that there was no political solution out of our problems. I think Geert Wilders may have to agree.

ELECTION UPDATE: The coalition formation process to form a right-wing government has failed due to a new centrist party (NSC) pulling out over some nonsense excuse about “budgetary concerns”.
Unless a minority coalition gets formed, it seems the VVD (Mark Rutte’s party) will now try to form a coalition with the Green Left and EXCLUDE Geert Wilders’ PVV – even though Wilders won the most votes and is continuing to grow in the polls (1 in 3 Dutch people would now vote for him).
If they succeed to form this hellish neoliberal left-wing coalition it’s most likely that Frans Timmermans, the EU “climate pope” will become our new Prime Minister – sending us doing the path of national suicide even further. Timmermans is the former Vice President of the European Commission, he’s the man responsible for the EU’s insane #NetZero and #GreenDeal policies, targeting i.a. the #DutchFarmers.
He is also known for saying “Europe will be diverse and diversity is humanity’s destiny” and that there is not going to be “even in the remotes places of this planet a place that won’t see diversity in its future”. If Timmermans becomes Prime Minister it will be a huge middle finger to The People of The Netherlands who’ve in massive numbers gone out to vote for change. Some sort of national revolt will be bound to happen.
2. This is actually one of the poorer examples of dialectical enforcement from the past few years, but still notable. During the most severe period of lockdowns, especially in Quebec, stores were looted and arson attacks happened during ongoing riots by BLM/ANTIFA etc. towards the colour revolution. These were not punished, or even mentioned by the PM himself, who even took a knee in front of large crowds of BLM protestors on Parliament Hill.
Remember that time when the truckers vandalized the office of the Prime Minister?
I don’t either. https://t.co/Tdvryjo8C2

Watch and think.
If this is Russian propaganda, it would be great to hear some like it from our own leaders. It seems that Russians can still tell men from women. A pretty basic skill in the reproductive process.

Maybe look up the lyrics.
This video is from January 2017, and shows how Russia even then thought that there was something very wrong with the narrative which turned into an impeachment effort against President Trump.
We had our own people (thank you Darlin|<) check the translation from th soft coded titles in the Youtube version of this and it checked out. It is too important an interview to get this wrong. So here it is:

Once again, grudging admiration is being dragged from me by Vladimir Putin, while a greater and greater mistrust of US intel agencies takes root. After all, it was an FBI guy who fed all that info to two rookie reporters Woodward and Bernstein, to take down a president for no reason other than a personal vendetta about a job posting he felt he should have had.
I guess thats more the norm than I was prepared to accept.
Mr. Putin’s statement here about one law for all people is in fact a classically liberal one. And more so than any other leader outside of the Visigrad 4.

The Latest on the Mexican crisis, from Reuters:
EDINBURG, Mexico (Reuters) March 6, 2022 — Edinburg’s legislature voted to join Texas on Thursday and its Washington-backed government set a referendum within 10 days on the decision in a dramatic escalation of the crisis over Tamaulipas state in Mexico.
The Edinburg region of Texas — which was ceded to Mexico in 2016 by then-President Barack Obama to satisfy domestic political pressures — consists on the former counties of Webb, Zapata, Jim Hogg, Starr, Hidalgo, Willacy, and Cameron. The region is now part of Tamaulipas state.
The sudden acceleration of moves to bring Edinburg, which has an Anglo majority and has effectively been seized by Texan forces, formally under Austin’s rule came as UN leaders gathered for an emergency summit to find ways to pressure Texas to back down.
Russian President Vladimir Putin took steps to punish those involved in threatening the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Mexico, ordering the freezing of their Russian assets and a ban on travel into Russia.
The Russian Navy announced a guided-missile destroyer, the Archangel, was heading to the Gulf of Mexico in what it said was a long-planned training exercise and not a show of force.
The Edinburger legislature voted unanimously “to enter into the Republic of Texas with the rights of a citizen of the Republic of Texas”.
The vice-governor of Edinburg, home to Texas’ Gulf of Mexico military base in Port Isabel, said a referendum on the status would take place on March 16. He said all state property would be “nationalized”, the U.S. dollar could be adopted and Mexican troops would be treated as occupiers and be forced to surrender or leave.
The announcement, which diplomats said could not have been made without U.S. President Rand Paul’s approval, raised the stakes in the most serious east-west confrontation since the beginning of the Great Collapse.
First of all, I would like to send a big thank you to all my long suffering translators. I know how hard you work and it is deeply appreciated. It is a labour of love to do these jobs and none of us are paid. So thank you all for caring enough to do this, what I feel is very important, work for everyone’s benefit.
This short clip by Vladimir is just another indicative clip of how the Russian state views things. I wish more Western nations had the same conviction.
