Prof. Glenn Diesen: Ideology and the War Against Russia 

"Pseudo Journalists have made Journalism one of the least trusted, most dishonest, craven, careless, cynical Anti Intellectual, power obsessed, herd like profession in existence, whose incompetence and duplicity has led directly to the deaths, and displacement of millions of people" Julian Assange - WikiLeaks.

Prof. Glenn Deisen one of the few good man with moral integrity that's a pleasure listening two him.Thank you

What a treat it is to hear what this man has to say

Glenn's book on the Ukraine war, along with his excellent daily analysis of events, is undoubtedly among the top sources of truth regarding the current situation in Ukraine and the wider global changes we are seeing unfold. Thanks for inviting him to share his thoughts.

excellent podcast being irish living in Dublin ireland 🇮🇪 I couldn't agree more with the prof.

"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." Hermann Goering From an interview in his prison cell with G.M Gilbert 18 April 1946 Just prior to his suicide to avoid execution.

Thanks for inviting Prof. Deisen to participate in the panel.

I recommend reading Glenn Diesen's books, such as "Russophobia" and "The Ukraine War & The Eurasian World Order". Great professor!

“Truth is a lonely warrior” /Plato/

Excellent presentation.

Few people and organisations have the courage to voice and listen to different opinions. thank you.

Professor Diesen is one of the greatest intellectuals of our lifetime. Thank you Sir for being such an honorable person,defending truth.

I'm enjoying it to listening professor Diesen.

Thanks Glenn for all your work.

The "west" and in particular the US doesn't make "mistakes". Everything it does has a purpose. It was literally doing everything possible pushing Russia to war in Ukraine. Thank you Glenn!

what a level headed LEGEND

Prof Glenn it was a great pleasure listening To you SIR

This channel is super! Thanks Boston community church!!!

Очень качественный анализ происходящего, но я не согласен с некоторыми выводами. Потому что это похоже на оправдание западной политики, сводя ее к недопониманию. А я практически уверен, что они отлично понимали, что делают, и редкие моменты личности, которые противоречили этой политике доминирования и превосходства, являются исключением, только подтверждающим правило. Начнем с того, что концепция развития западного мира всю историю строилась на превосходстве и доминировании, где ты либо раб, либо господин. И все античеловеческие идеологии, разделяющие людей на «господ» с привилегиями и «рабов» с ущемленными правами, такие как нацизм, расизм, фашизм, колониализм и так далее, родом из западной «цивилизации». То, что со временем основными декларируемыми «ценностями» стали демократия, свобода, равенство и право на достойную жизнь, дало очередной рычаг доминирования над остальным миром и способ оправдания их действий. По сути, они создали в реальности иллюзию, где все это существует в обществе их собственного электората, но отрицает наличие всех этих ценностей у остального мира. И, как следствие, приватизирует за ними право на мораль и все эти ценности, которыми они оперируют в собственных меркантильных интересах. Поймите, невозможно утверждать право на свободу мнения, отрицая право на противоположное мнение другой стороны, невозможно говорить о демократических процедурах выбора населения, отрицая этот выбор, если он вам не нравится. Вот почему сейчас это выглядит как антиутопический роман Оруэлла, где война - это мир, свобода - это рабство, и незнание - это сила. И хочу поговорить о концепции лидерства. Хотеть лидерства - это вполне естественное чувство, сложившееся за счет социальной и культурной эволюции человечества. Но лидерство может быть достигнуто за счет разных концепций получения этого лидерства, которые кардинально отличаются по своей сути. Рассмотрим два из них, которые я условно назову: «доминантное» и «престижное». Доминантное - за счет силы и принуждения, где лидера боятся и не противоречат его мнению, чтобы не вызвать гнев и не получить последствий. Второе - «престижное», где лидерство достигается за счет компетенции, знаний и возможностей получить часть престижа и выгоду от присоединения к этому лидеру. Также в престижном лидерстве точкой роста является не рост за счет отъема ресурсов у других, а за счет общего роста, где вы растете совместно, вносите свой вклад в общий рост. И, на мой взгляд, очевидно, какое из них выбрала западная политика и какое лидерство хочет видеть весь остальной мир. Это популярность лидерства с концепцией «престижа» не так сложно увидеть в политике стран типа России и Китая, особенно на основе новых образований типа BRICS, куда стремятся попасть большинство стран, не входящих в западный альянс и преодолевших страх перед лидером по принципу «доминирования». И по поводу выводов. Я имею в виду слова гостя по поводу того, что он не отрицает вины России, но мы, как запад, ее спровоцировали, но мы не зло. Ну он же довольно подробно показал причинно-следственные связи и как развивалась ситуация. Тогда вопрос: разве Россия вела все к конфликту? Нет. Разве Россия не пыталась встроиться в общую концепцию запада? Пыталась. Разве то, что делала Россия, не было ответом на развитие ситуации со стороны запада? Конечно, это были ответные шаги по защите. Тогда где тут вина России? Более того, Россия много раз говорила и предупреждала, что расширение НАТО вызывает беспокойство, но главное, что как раз в духе демократии и свободы, что безопасность одного государства не может быть обеспечена за счет безопасности другого!

Brilliant presentation thank you professor Diesen

Sn excellent and truthful presentation as all who were following the issues since 2000 know!

A highly needed appeal for diplomcy and peace ❤

This should be required viewing for everyone in the West.

Thank you. It is the best analysis of the conflict I have ever listened to. You are right a word "peace" is a real taboo. The liberal democracy has to win for a whatever price. Good luck.

Thankfully im listening Prof. Glenn Deisen. The situation what I'm facing here in Finland is exactly what he describes. Propaganda is overwhelming and if expressing any diplomatic behaviour, you will be closed out from society. Traumatic situation. And exactly after the first health scam and traumatic period also.

This man is so clear headed. Impressive!!

Superlative presentation.

A great program

Very eloquent overview of the current situation. Including confronting us with our own ugliness - but important that we see it and know what the rest of the world is seeing.

Great statement ❤❤

Thanks Boston Community Church for shining a light. Great guest Prof Deisen and talk.

Thank you.

Falou e disse! Parabéns Professor Diesen!

I lived in Ukraine I lived in Russia I'm now living in Kazakhstan, and I follow the American internal politics on daily basis. What you're forgetting to say is that all the past Soviet republics are liberal democracies and nothing else. They are not ideal liberal democracies, neither is the US itself! All of our republics have unconstricted freedom of speech, multiple political parties, tolerance towards minorities and sacrality of private property. It's absolutely insane how one can misspel democracy for autocracy for the great cause of warmongering.

Foreign policy responsibility has been deligated to the US. Especially, in europe, any criticism is repressed about this vassalhood. As the US is finding with Israel, delegating your foreign policy to another country, whose interests do not completely align is a recipe for disaster. Russia is overwhelmingly strong, so who can you get to use as a battering ram. Some vasssal no doubt.

Brilliant

Thank you for sharing the Truth!!!

❤❤❤

Considering international organizations have been run since WWII by nazis, capitalists and neo-cons Kennedy maked it sound like Europe has not actively managed colonial states, permitted coups and color revolutions by the US. The entire system completely has supported the occupation of Palestine feom before it started, that it is ridiculous Kennedy strongly alluded to Europe being a place of integrity and peace missions. He further suggests Western media only recently has sided with the oppressor when the mdeia has always been run by and for the purpose of capitalism and oppression of the working & marginalized class. He was just another branch of the oligarchy.

Beautiful and much needed podcast in the turbulent state of international relations today. Thank you, CCB, for hosting Prof. Deisen.

"To exchange one ideology for another is not necessarily an advance: the Enemy is the gramaphone mind, whether you like the record being played at the moment of time" George Orwell in his 1984 Novel.

Crystal clear truth

This presentation is why YT, despite its increasing propensity towards censorship under 'ignorance is strength' governmental pressure, is such a valuable resource. Enjoy it while it lasts....

thanks to Prof. Diesen for a well explained history of the EU/NATO/Ukrainian conflict going back to the days of the Yanukovich govt. toppled in 2014. Of course CIA and MI6 and other EU nations security services similar to those 2 nations covert operations organization would know that all of them were actively supporting Ukraine's political opposition groups to create political instability in Ukraine we recall as the Orange Resolution or non-elected political leaders who brought a lot of turmoil to Ukrainian society. Victoria Nuland stated back in 2014 that the US had spent $5 billion dollars fomenting political instability in Ukraine from the the late 90's right up to 2014's coup. Finally I'll remind those who want a deeper understanding of why wars are fomented, propagated and fully supported by Western nations like the USA, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Canada etc. is because wars are profitable - for the bankers who demand them and their clients tightly intertwined interests of the military'-industrial complex. There ia a symbiotic relationship between international bankers of NYC, London, Paris, Frankfurt, Geneva, Milan etc. in that much of the if not a majority of these war industries are partially owned by international bankers. When you look at warfare in Western capitalist states going back to the mercantile and early capitalist stages of development, international bankers have seen all wars as profit centers - they love to have wars cause wars are profitable for them. They don't care which sides wins - only that they will profit from funding these wars. Until we can eliminate these international bankers from their past and current roles as war fomenters and supporters, wars like what is going on now in Ukraine will continue. Wars like Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan - all of them since WW2 were fought for the bankers and their closely tied partners - the military-industrial complex.

Really the best historical analysis I have heard.

The defense of peace and the reactivation of the socialist project are today’s priorities. In this context, China is playing a fundamental role in this global transformation,; unlike the United States, China is applying an anti war, win-win strategy.

There you go, the whole truth.

It was the EU through France and Germany who were supposed to make Ukraine abide by the Minsk agreements. By their own admission they had no intention of that, leading to the present conflict. The persicution of Russian speakers in Ukraine was a crime which forced Russia to respond.

We live in evil times. Demonic. At the end of the age.

Brilliant no argument against it. We are truly in George Orwell’s dystopian 1984

The words choosen in describe the West ideology is amazing

Important to learn history. Thank you for adding critical context and missing history. We are in dangerous times for the world. We are a danger to the rest of the world.

Appreciating you for your beautiful annalicess

That is right

Sound arguments like this are urgently needed. (A link to the cited JFK speech would help to strengthen the case)

NATO's working assumption is that Russia will never use nuclear weapons. They opine that previous red lines have been crossed without consequence. I think it is a suicidal approach. We hope sense will prevail and a negotiated settlement reached.

The West created the security competition when NATO moved east of the Oder river which has snow balled into the current geopolitical crisis we have today.

Western European culture is essentially authoritarian and has always been. One book that sheds light on this is "The Dawn of Everything, a New History of Humanity", by Graeber and Wengrow. Another book, which I find heartbreaking, is "Dark Continent: Europe's Twentieth Century" by Mark Mazower. What we are seeing in the EU, NATO, and the US is just the reemergence of this dark character. Diesen is one of those fighting it.

5:01 that idea of breaking up Russia, NATO and the EU has got the idea from the French during WWI. This was their plan for Germany. Break it up and de-industrialise it.

At least the bots love your little story

One cant heal lunacy with educattion

Thesis: a ceasefire with renouncement of a membership of NATO and continuity of military developments allowed would not necessarily create a disadvantage for Ukraine.

I agree with every single word of Professor Diesen's brilliantly comprehensive and thoroughly detailed account and analysis of this entire matter. Exactly as I see it. Indeed, ever since the end of the Cold War, I have been arguing against NATO Eastward expansion for fear of fomenting the very situation that we now have in fact. Have any of our blind Western ideological fanatics considered, for example, the unbridled geopolitical chaos they would create if their absurd unforced policies to dismantle the Russian Federation were successful? I learned the Russian language and obtained a Soviet Studies degree back in the 1980s. I lived among and interacted every day with people in Russia for a month in 2012 and thoroughly enjoyed my experiences in Moscow, St. P., and Kursk. It might surprise many Americans that the Russians are not at all the monsters that we have been taught they are, but, in fact, are pretty much like you and me. As for JFK, I have long suspected that the single most likely reason that he was assassinated on November 22, 1963, was his decision to end the Cold War as he so eloquently announced and defended it in his American University speech delivered on June 10, 1963.

Everything he says is accurate

In my Bible, it is written something like, 'Peace would be the fruit, or deed, of JUSTICE'. And in yours?

You may not be arguing that we are evil, but if arguing for peace is seen as evil, those who see it that way ARE evil and their ideology IS evil. There is no way to get around that.

Bravo Glenn for doing this, "confrontation is success" is wholly evil. We should be aiming for Gorbachev´s vision of a common European homeland without military alliances.

Wow, let's try that with Netanyahu.

😂😂😂THE WEST IS DEMOCRATIC?? THE CIA OVER THREW AN ELECTED GOVERNMENT IN UKRAINE

🎉

Why do they demand either a comedian or a senile person should be the leader of Russia

Finally a European has some COMMON SENSE😮

Well said

Prof Diesen stop worrying anout Russia, Russia will be fine. Worry about your own little country of Norway which has only 5 million peolle and is being overrun with foreigners. Worry about that Professor...

Smart and onist coment

only facts , common sense and truth dont count against hatred and evil greed

The fact that the US, ramped up exponentially under Reagan, chose to fight and arguably 'win' the Cold War by massively outspending (and ultimately bankrupting) the Soviets on weapons also sowed the seeds for the future with a disproportionately politically influential Military Industrial Complex with an insatiable appetite. Political lobbying and revolving doors have long played a part in US politics, but this is likely when the MIC truly and irreversibly metastisized with the US body politic.

In germany, it is an accusation, to understand russians... 😳⚠️

It was very interesting to listen to Prof. Deisen. Thank you very much. However, I think he missed to give us a lot of important information on how it started. And I think it all started in Crimea. Hopefully he can talk about it someday soon.

Fools rush in.

✌️

It is a pitty, you don't give the link to the RFK speach in the description...

Unfortunatedly is based On religious Grounds!!! the Anglosaxon Christian Evangelicals will Never Accept or treat Others as EQUALS!!! greetings from Mexico

Many factions in the US and most in the EU see Russians and Eastern Ukrainians, for that matter, as "less then." Far from going extinct, fascist idology has always found various levels of safe haven world wide with strongholds in the US, GB, Germany, West Ukraine, Romania, most Baltics, Finland, Norway and few others.

hey professor, tell us about your experiences in the russian miniluv.

Klokkerent!

It is constantly said that Russia also made mistakes. Just which one??

From 16 to n 32 countries. How would the west feel if someone did the same to them?

Some people like to be alone , i dont

The Europeans are not stupid Norway included. Peace under detente with today's Russia means massive long term defence spending like in Cold war years and universal conscription. The long term ncreases in borrowings or cut back in social spending would be huge. Cynically, it is much better to provide massive funding to Ukraine for a few short years and if Russia is soundly beaten EU can revert back to enjoy the peace dividend again and the generous welfare state

They did a really bad job when they did my back surgery ,

So, in a nutshell, peace to the this cabal of psychopath and warmongers means that every one have to roll over, toe the line and accept them as the world's master. Shut up and obey, get out of my way when we decide to plunder your nations and then, and only then, we can talk about peace. I have never been a religious individual in any sense whatever, but the forces of good & evil is a real thing independent of religion--that is quite obvious to me; and, it is also obvious to me who represents the forces of evil.

At last a drop of wisdom and hope for a diplomatic solution in a sea of hatred and stupidity

funny how IDEOLOGY was noticed (very rightly) by the presenter on the side of NATO, EU and US. that war in fact was even called IDEOLOGICAL, but the Russian position is narrowed to a pure security concern. no attention is paid to the beliefs system opposing the Western hegemony concept. in fact the author, no matter how neutral he might appear, does not see Russians as a party holding any values or presenting a sound alternative to the Western agenda which is in fact got lost in ethnic hatred. in 1990s Russians never saw the CHANGE as own Cold War loss. they had a VISION of new post-socialism society which they followed in building a new TYPE of state. by many measures that new Russia was POST-IDEOLOGICAL. The core of that vision of the NEW Russia, was delivered by Andrey Sakharov's idea of "convergention", inevitable merger of socialism and capitalism, which he saw as a condition for world peace and for true freedom of thought. The new Russian state embedded these principles to the new 1993 Constitution. which PROHIBITS any ideology being attached to the state (art 13). Russian government is technocratic, made of sound field experts no matter which party they belong to, not made by one party mates like most Western governments are. So economic decisions are also FREE from ideology (good to reflect this in economic finds and failures at both sides. ideology does not just kill peace, but kill own economy too) Another feature of New Russia is even further enhanced EQUALITY. 1996 law on Cultural National Autonomy was added to already existing self-ruling territorial Autonomies for biggest minority groups. the new law extended self ruling rights to minor local ethnic groups in minority in own historical lands and to IMMIGRANTS who too received full scope of cultural rights and self-ruling format. in New Russia all restrictions from freedom of speech were removed with one exemption - USSR 1926 law banning HATE SPEECH was kept (discontinued in Ukraine). Russian principle of hate speech ban is unparalleled to Western. punishment is based on impact, media and politicians are punished for any attempt to undermine or upset any identity group. while public is free to rant as long as any physical violence was committed. So free speech is granted to PUBLIC, not media. media is restricted in spreading hateful downgrading messages. There was a discussion in 1990s in Russia about potential value of DE-COMMUNISATION. it was rejected by wide public opinion exactly because FREEDOM of thought for all, would not be possible if one type of ideas were put above another. so communist legacy, including Lenin monuments were left around as a sign of TOLERANCE not as a sign of communist remaining. As for "Stalinism" 1991 law in New Russia gave compensations and pensions to these who lost parents in Stalin repression. while millions of ww2 orphans lost parents in battle with nazis never received anything. these small nations which were misplaced during ww2, received free land in historical areas. So new POST-IDEOLOGICAL STATE built in Russia in 1991-1993 first of all delivered CIVIL PEACE establishing more equality, true freedom of beliefs and paying historical soviet debt. USSR Cold War propaganda WAS NOT HATEFUL in any form or shape. the internal ban of hate speech was applied to ALL media messages. that is why it was so EASY for soviet people to move into a non confrontational world model straight after Cold War. while Western Cold War propaganda WAS FULL OF ETHNIC HATE towards Russians. that is a main reason post-Cold War Western media was and is full of HABITUAL HATE towards Russians. that is why Cold War NEVER ENDED and extermination of all Russians and their state became a new aim. the post-USSR Ukraine has anti-Russian trends from the start. "Ukraine - not Russia" was a concept for building New Ukraine. a title of the book by Kravchuk - first Ukraine president. After coup 2004 Nazi collaborators were made heroes. Coup 2014 made neo-nazism main policy line.banning local languages in school for 2/3 of the locals.Yanukivich won elections twice 2004 and 2012 thanks to one project - a Regional Language Law, giving minorities equal cultural rights. remarkably how EU did not have any objections to such obvious ethnic discrimination. as it was seen as WESTERN model of INTEGRATION, just applied not to immigrants but to locals. but not seen as a big dead, being in fact ETHNIC and CULTURAL CLEANSING. while Russia enjoyed good 20 years of true freedom of throught, EU IMPOSED severe "de-communisation" demands in all Eastern European states which aimed to join EU. Ukraine had it too. that campaign in fact turned into ETHNIC HATRED towards Russians as it mirrored the Western Cold War messages which were seen "effective" as they "won" Cold War. as a result of "decommunisation" Ukraine never had a day of freedom of thought. instead it jumped straight from Soviet propaganda (free from ethnic hated theu) into Western Cold War propaganda, while USSR DID NOT EXIST at the point. So instead Russians were HATED. While Ukraine and all Eastern Europe countries NEVER were governed by Russians. in fact through out Soviet time they SELF GOVERNED by own communists. The difference in policies are seen very well when we compare state policies in Crimea under Ukraine and under Russia. in Ukraine, major local ethnic groups Russians (85%) and tatars (12%) had no language rights, Ukrainians (2%) by knowing the state language took all governing, accounting, legal posts. Tatars misplaced by Stalin, got no compensation, no land, and severe de-communisation propaganda turned them into HATING local Russians, some of whom in fact were living in old tatar dwellings. in Russian Crimea. three official languages, choice of own language for schooling, tatars got self ruling AUTONOMY (law 1996) and free land (law 1991) and got no reason to hate anybody. when you LIMIT understanding of this war to Russian SECURITY concerns, you IGNORE LOCAL PEOPLE values of equality, fairness and justice. they DEVELOPED governing format for a state of their wish. and THAT IS WHY Russians Russians volonteer to this war, and know what they die for. Russian borders are open and no draft is needed. while Ukraine locked the borders for men, hunt them, shoot at sight these who resist the draft, media are banned, local church is banned, schooling in local languages is banned. you started your journey - GO ALL THE WAY. because Russians WANT to go back to a post ideological state of their desire, but it does one work in isolation when the West invests BILLIONS INTO BRAINWASHING Russian youth last 30 years aiming to get a "regime" change.

Well, good luck EU and US with your plan. Better sit down because it will take forever to achievement.😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
