"But don't forget that the real issue is not to prevent rape," I counter her. "The real issue is to develop the Principle of Universal Love that honors all, and to develop this principle it for its own imperative and its own brightness and the joy it brings, by which the rape issue becomes secondary and falls away as any error invariably does as an error is without truth and therefore without a history. Do you think that Moses understood this or whoever authored the Decalogue?"
"Isn't it amazing how much came out of us poking at the upcoming Thousand Year Celebration of the Christianization of Russia?" said Anton after we had eaten.
"Yes, even the opening speech at the conference had been spiked with expressions taken directly from Russian Church liturgy, did you notice that?" I asked.
Anton didn't answer. Instead she asked if I had seen the Danilov Monastery. She said that it is a large complex of buildings built in the 1300s, which was now in the process of being restored to its former magnificence for the celebration. "It's just four kilometers from the Kremlin," she said. She said it is set up to be the new headquarters of the Patriarchy of Moscow and that its opening is planned to coincide with the official start of the Thousand-Year Celebration. She explained that for its reconstruction a special account had been opened up at a branch of the State Bank in Moscow. Volunteer workers and student brigades had worked day and night to assure that the massive task of the restoration would be completed on time. Anton offered to take our English group on a tour through the parts that were already completed in order to demonstrate to the group that the restoration of the Byzantine System, as I had explained it to her. She said that she would show us the complex to demonstrate that Thousand Year Celebration wasn't a fairy tale that she had invented. She also said that there were similar brigades busy throughout the entire European part of the USSR, restoring old monasteries, church frescoes, and icons.
"Obviously this frantic buildup is not intended to introduce Christian aspirations and the Principles of Universal Love into the Soviet world," I interrupted her.
She agreed with me this time.
I suggested that the massive buildup appears to be intended to generate a deep patriotic hype in the population along the line of modern mystic occultism, something linked to the Mother Russia, Matushka Russ, the Mother Earth type mentality that has also been foisted onto the West since the late 60s with a different garment attached. I suggested that this movement towards primitivism in the shadow of Byzantine mind control that renders mankind equal with the dust of the Earth was suddenly and conveniently given the stamp of legitimacy in Russia under the mantle of an established religious tradition that was rooted in the soil of Russia. I even suggested that the timing of the celebration seemed to coincide with her country's military buildup under the Ogarkov Plan that called for a limited nuclear blitz against the West, with the goal to invade Western Europe after the blitz. I suggested that the ultimate goal of the Ogarkov Plan was to win a nuclear war against the United States. I told her that I had seen with my own eyes some of the already unfolding preparations for it in East Germany. I told her that I had seen the Russian tanks in mass maneuvers that would invade the West in the chaos of the unfolding nuclear holocaust. I told her that I seen the pipes for the fuel lines that would power the invasion force. I suggested to her that it would obviously be easier for the Soviet State to demand the Russian people to bear the enormous burdens and sacrifices that even a small nuclear war would bring, if this war could be defined as having a holy purpose with a mythical flavor, like Matushka Russ. "That's sophistry," Anton, and sophistry is mental rape. You will quite literally celebrate Russia's Thousand Year subjection to a form of deep-cutting rape. Fortunately, the opening speech at the conference was bad sophistry, which made it more obvious. Compared to the master sophist, Pericles of Athens, what we heard was very crude sophistry. Even the Romans were better at it, and Hitler's propaganda minister. They just don't do good sophistry anymore. And that's something to celebrate, Anton, because Pericles, the master of the game got his endless war off the ground, his Seventy Years War, called the Peloponnesian War. I really hope that Russia's Ogarkov Plan doesn't get to the implementation stage, which it probably won't. Nevertheless, the Byzantine model is a model for imposing mental rape, rape upon the soul."
