Vicki Victae - Victoria Nuland exits the stage after three decades of Trotskyite Jihad

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I admit that this will open me up to accusations of ‘midwittery’, but my second favourite film of all-time is Ingmar Bergman’s 1957 classic “The Seventh Seal”.1

So ubiquitous has this movie become (and so archetypal are its characters) that lauding it is like praising a glass of water for being so refreshing on a very hot summer’s day. Yet I keep coming back to it time and time again because of the many, many things that make it so repeatedly watchable and constantly enjoyable. From the stark black and white cinematography, to its gallows humour and witty dialogue, but also because of its overarching themes of good and evil, light and dark, faith and reason, cynicism and redemption. It is simply a perfect movie.

No character in The Seventh Seal is more archetypal than that of the character known as “Death”. Adorned in a full-length black cloak, with a face powder-white, Death was the constant companion for Antonius Block the Knight, Jöns the Squire, the acting troupe and their baby, Plog the Blacksmith, and the rest, as they sought respite from the Black Death that stalked the land.

Antonius Block, freshly returned from the catastrophic Crusades in the Holy Land, holds both a running dialogue and a chess match with Death, the purpose being to buy himself some more time among the living. Unfortunately for Block, “Death waits for no one”. Death did not wait for Block, he was merely enjoying the chess match while it lasted.

So many scenes from this movie have become part of our modern culture through parody, spoof, or even homage. One such scene is the very last one, the one known as “The Dance of Death”. In this scene, we see Death leading the group to its mortal end, as he carries a scythe in hand. Death and The Scythe are fused together in our collective minds.

The mere image of Bergman’s Death is frightening enough, but it’s in the scenes where he is equipped with his scythe that the immediacy of his threat, which doubles as his raison d’etre, is plain for all to see. Bergman’s Death is fatalistic in its inevitability, although he himself often veered towards Existentialism, a philosophy that rejects the concept of fate altogether.

Bergman’s Death is above all, brutally honest. Death promises you nothing but death. There is no sugar coating what he intends to do to you. There is no trickery, no false promises, nothing but The End. Death will arrive and swing his scythe, sparing no one. To be fair, such blunt honesty is admirable….at least I think it is.

The United States Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, and until this past week the Acting Deputy Secretary of State, Victoria Nuland promised “freedom and democracy” in place of death, and brought cookies instead of a scythe. Despite these differences, the end result from her efforts was always the same: death.

Almost three weeks ago, I wrote a satirical essay on the death of Russian politician and western asset Alexei Navalny. The piece was intended to be funny because Navalny was a very silly man, and he deserved no better. You can read it here if you haven’t done so already:

Victoria Nuland is the total opposite of Saint Alexei, Patron Saint of Russia and Liberal Democracy, in that she is a very, very serious woman. She deserves to be treated with the utmost seriousness, as the amount of damage and carnage that have resulted from her life’s efforts have been enormous. One can satirize Vicki, but that would be too nice to her. Her butcher’s bill is far too large for a cheeky retrospective to do it justice.

If asked to summarize Vicki in one sentence, I would reply with: “Vicki Nuland spent her professional career in the service of US Empire, with a specific focus on a Trotskyite jihad against Russia.” I will explain this shortly, but let me just say that what Rome represents for the Islamic jihadi, Moscow does for our Vicki. Before we delve into the my arguments, let’s take a look at her career up until now.

Well, he's on record saying he hated what the Bolsheviks did to his country..

I hate what they've done to mine too.

...so there's that.

But Putin went after the CIA-installed government of Ukraine

Giving the CIA waaaaay too much credit there. No external force could have mustered 800,000 demonstrators in the streets of Kyiv, which is what motivated Yanukovych, to flee to his handlers in Moscow. Whereupon the Ukrainian parliament impeached him, naming Olexander Turchynov as interim president, and setting new election for May 25th.

Only folks so naive as to be unable to see past Putin's propaganda believe the "CIA coup" myth.

....You're not one of the J6 people rotting in a Washington, D.C. jail cell, nor are you Rudy Giuliani.....

Yes, we've got serious problems here. We've had professional rioters tearing up and burning down our cities. Some supported by outside forces; (BLM probably, Antifa certainly).

We've got serious problems with our elections, which has led to some real bad actors being in power in Washington. What are you doing to clean that up? Are you contributing to Judicial Watch or True the Vote? You can you know, but in Russia such organization aren't even allowed to exist. Are you volunteering as an election watcher? Don't allow that in Russia. Are you studying candidates for local and state offices, and voting for the best ones? WE still have elections right down to sheriffs and traffic court judges.

But no, you're just fulminating at me on FR.

"...but in Russia such organization aren't even allowed to exist."

And why should I give a crap about what Russia has, or doesn't have? You seem to be obsessed with it though.

"What are you doing to clean that up?" "Are you volunteering as an election watcher? Are you studying candidates for local and state offices, and voting for the best ones? WE still have elections right down to sheriffs and traffic court judges. But no, you're just fulminating at me on FR."

LOL!! I confronted you about your concerns over Russia, and now you've switched the topic to insinuate that I don't vote, don't pay attention to candidates, or haven't done my part over the past 55 years that I've been able to vote. In my day, you had to be 21 to legally vote, not 18. Are you of an age where you remember that? What have you done in the past 3 1/2 years since you've been on Free Republic? I've been here 26 years, so come back and lecture me when you actually have something concrete, and not insinuations you made up.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Refer yourself back to your post #40p and start again.

And BTW I’m older than you are, or claim to be.

[reasonisfaith]

You think Obama and Nuland are not CIA operatives?

By the way, the CIA stole their middle name.

[mass55th]

Please refer yourself back to my comment #40 which I cut and paste below, and then show me where I said anything that would encourage you to rant about elections, or even question me on what I'm doing as a voter to make changes. I never mentioned elections or anything to do with them.

"Of course you'd say that. You're not one of the J6 people rotting in a Washington, D.C. jail cell, nor are you Rudy Giuliani, President Trump, Mike Lindell, etc., that are being prosecuted into bankruptcy by a corrupt FBI, and DOJ. Frankly, as someone who grew up in the 50's with air raid drills, and the fear-mongering of a constant threat of nuclear attack, I don't really give a crap about Russia or Ukraine, whether Putin poisons his political enemies or not, or what happens in either of those two countries. Nor do I give a crap about Europe. We saved their asses twice. Third time is not the charm. Nor could we even do it today with this country being on a downward spiral to its own demise. What I do care about is my own country being destroyed from within by the home-grown commies that blossomed in the U.S., while we were fighting the spread of communism in Europe."

And here's your response:

"Yes, we've got serious problems here. We've had professional rioters tearing up and burning down our cities. Some supported by outside forces; (BLM probably, Antifa certainly). We've got serious problems with our elections, which has led to some real bad actors being in power in Washington. What are you doing to clean that up?

Somehow you dumped your topic of Russia, and ended up somewhere in la la land that had nothing to do with anything I said.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

I think I found a guilty conscience.

As Shakespeare wrote: "Methinks the lady Freeper doth protest too much".

You haven't actually done anything to improve our political situation here, have you? No contributions to Judicial Watch or True the Vote, for example? Just grousing about it on the internet, and going ballistic when you get exposed for a hypocrite.

[mass55th]

Still can’t admit that you went bizarrely off topic, and then spewed insinuations about my political activities that you know nothing about, and is none of your business. That’s not you Larry Klayman, is it?

Chad, you're getting more bossy, quarrelsome and demanding every day. Is something bothering you?

Perhaps she can help you. It's certainly worth a try.

"And guess what Chad? I don’t have to prove anything to you! You’re not my boss, my spouse, my parent or my God."

Ahhh! I see you've met the inimitable Chad as well. What a pompous ass eh? Probably has nocturnal emissions at night dreaming about making condescending comments to people on FR.

How many times do you think Chad was stuffed into a locker in middle school?

I’d say, too many to count.

And he still hasn’t gotten over it.

[mass55th]

"How many times do you think Chad was stuffed into a locker in middle school?"

How many times did he ask people to stuff him into those lockers? He hates himself so much, I can imagine he'd do that just to get the attention. Attention whore Chad!!
