fears, even though lots of water has passed beneath the bridge of history.&nbsp;&nbsp;Indeed,&nbsp;<em>much has been done<\/em>&nbsp;expressly to conceal&nbsp;<em>those waters, full of greed, ambition, illusion and delusion<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;The modern intelligensia is guilty of&nbsp;<em>sins of omission<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0002 Here is&nbsp;<em>a brief remediation of that sin<\/em>, which, unfortunately, may itself be a transgression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Cold War ends in 1989,&nbsp;<em>many difficult to comprehend events<\/em>&nbsp;follow.&nbsp;&nbsp;Boris Yeltsin supervises a firesale of Russian state property.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maybe, &#8220;firesale&#8221; is not the right word.&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8220;A mind-bending transfer of ownership&#8221; may be better.&nbsp;&nbsp;Soon, oligarchs corral entire industries and markets.&nbsp;&nbsp;Russian GDP falls like no tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, before&nbsp;<em>the wholesale transfer of Russian commodity wealth<\/em>&nbsp;is fully consummated, Vladimir Putin steps from under the wings of Yeltsin&#8217;s weakness and corruption.&nbsp;&nbsp;Following a series of explosive events, Putin manages to secure leadership of&nbsp;<em>the listing ship of the Russian State.<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;He rights&nbsp;<em>the boat,<\/em>&nbsp;sending many overboard (so to speak).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The predatory wolves of the American Empire<\/em>&nbsp;do not forget.&nbsp;&nbsp;They lick their wounds.&nbsp;&nbsp;They plan their revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0003 Oh, so that is the reason why&nbsp;<em>nearly every mouthpiece of the American Regime<\/em>&nbsp;denounces Russia, as if it is still&nbsp;<em>the Soviet Union of old<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;When the Americans win, they want total surrender.&nbsp;&nbsp;So,&nbsp;<em>the American citizen<\/em>&nbsp;remains informed that&nbsp;<em>the Cold War&nbsp;<\/em>never really came to a conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as America once looked to the East and saw an &#8220;iron curtain&#8221;, Russia now looks West and experiences a &#8220;word curtain&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0004 Of course,&nbsp;<em>this brief transgression into history<\/em>&nbsp;is required to introduce the tragic philosopher, Alexander Dugin.&nbsp;&nbsp;From 1989 on, Dugin formulates and proposes new ideas concerning&nbsp;<em>the fact that Russia did not totally surrender to America&#8217;s empire religion<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;His struggles culminate in a book that finally breaks through&nbsp;<em>the Western word-curtain<\/em>&nbsp;about&nbsp;<em>how bad Russia is<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;That book is titled,&nbsp;<em>The Fourth Political Theory<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;First published in Russian, an English translation comes out in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three years later, Razie Mah electronically publishes&nbsp;<em>Comments On Alexander Dugin&#8217;s Book (2012) The Fourth Political Theory<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;This commentary is available at smashwords and other e-book venues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0005 Simultaneously, as well as more amazingly, Michael Millerman decides to make&nbsp;<em>the philosophical work of Alexander Dugin<\/em>&nbsp;the topic of his doctorate in philosophy.&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, that does not go well.&nbsp;&nbsp;How dare this young intellect challenge the current narrative.&nbsp;&nbsp;Dugin should go into a box.&nbsp;&nbsp;He is a fascist.&nbsp;&nbsp;Or rather, a communist.&nbsp;&nbsp;Or something similarly unsavory, like a Eurasianist.&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, that box should never be opened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0006 Michael Millerman, like Pandora, opens the box.&nbsp;&nbsp;And the last monstrosity to emerge is hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He actually graduates with his doctorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The subsequently blacklisted Millerman<\/em>&nbsp;starts his own school.&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>The cancelled Millerman<\/em>&nbsp;publishes the book that I currently examine:&nbsp;<em>Inside Putin&#8217;s Brain: The Political Philosophy of Alexander Dugin<\/em>&nbsp;(2022: Millerman School).&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, Millerman starts a school.&nbsp;&nbsp;Look and see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>0007 In these blogs, I comment on chapter two, titled, &#8220;The Ethnosociological and Existential Dimensions of Dugin&#8217;s Populism&#8221;.\u00a0\u00a0This chapter is originally published in\u00a0<em>Telos<\/em>\u00a0(Winter, 2020).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order for the reader gain an acquaintance with the Greimas square, I recommend blogs appearing at www.raziemah.com for January 2023.\u00a0\u00a0These blogs include\u00a0<em>Looking atAlex Jones&#8217;s Book (2022) The Great Reset<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Notes on Daniel Esterlin&#8217;s Book (2020) 2045 Global Projects At War<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>0001 In late 2022, Americans loathe the Russian civilization because the Soviet Union was a existential enemy during&nbsp;the Third Battle Among the Enlightenment Gods: The Cold War Among Materialist Ideologies&nbsp;(1945-1989 AD).
