After many, many requests, Matthew Raphael Johnson has finally done a podcast on the Iron Guard, the political vehicle for the ideas of Corneliu Zelea Codreanu (1899-1938) in interwar Romania. Primarily, it is about the ideology of the movement and its policies during the brief reign of the “Legionary Government” in 1940.

A trial has been set by a faction of the Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of the Americas. The defendant is Matthew Raphael Johnson, suddenly deemed too far right for this tiny synod’s image. The promoter of this purge is Bishop Joseph (Royer) of Canada, a new bishop received into the church just two years ago. Up until now, Johnson’s “Orthodox Nationalist” podcast and writings were followed by synod members with full support. Something changed.
Bishop Joseph is on the far left. This seems to be a lot of bishops for 100 people.
On this Boiler Room we expanded the concept of coopted cults to cover more mainline religious movements and their use by the state or other entities. Branco Malic and I engage in a friendly, civil exchange concerning Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic differences. We also cover bizarre TV preachers and their notorious scams.
In the 1990s, the “voice of Russian nationalism” was Vladimir Zhirinovsky. I was not the first to notice that his antics and incoherence was working in favor of Yeltsin. His real name is Edelstein. The consummate showman, he would appear whenever Yeltsin was in trouble or the opposition against him in the west grew. He would scream something about “nuking New York” for no reason, usually while in a speedo. This happened so many times that it was clear they were working together.
Why is violating a sports ritual such a big deal?

Nationalism is one of those terms anyone can use for any purpose. From alt-right to radical left, being termed ‘nationalist’ defines you clearly and distinctly as someone somewhere on the spectrum ranging from ‘radical patriotic saint’ to ‘radical reactionary demon’.
Contemporary art is often criticised as pointless or overvalued by art market elites. Even the word ‘artist’ has lost much of its meaning. The many ongoing global socio-political crises seem to make even the idea of art fade into insignificance. Most art either reflects local reality (landscapes, cityscapes, portraits) or internal ‘reality’ (surrealism, conceptual art). But there are artists (in this case, I will focus on painters) who do not shy away from depicting the difficulties facing ordinary people or the elites who create those difficulties in the first place.
