I'm sympathetic to your point, and enjoyed the article, not least because I enthusiastically studied structuralism and post-structuralism, as well as the wonderful Mikhail Bakhtin, in the 1980's when it really entered Anglo-Saxon academia. All this hit when I was studying the 4C Church, and I had Augustine on time, memory and signs to entertain me. In fact the whole community was talking about signs, language and social allegiances. All this to create communities of faith. So maybe this isn't as new as we like to think.

Anyway... I feel in this case we do have a verifiable reality, Hormuz is closed to the west, triggering economic stress. Those US bases in the Gulf were largely destroyed, and they were chased out of the Gulf.

On the level of discourse America has been humiliated and Israel's power is waning.

Both the real and discursive worlds are changing. This is good.

'Real' (royal, royalty) and 'real' (reality) are the same word. I do not know about other languages but that relationship and following interpretation are founded in the Logos of Romance Languages.

When the Talmudo-Satanists murdered the Russian Royal Family they tore the fabric of reality, they believed, to their advantage.

Since all the minor Royal Houses of Europe, more or less, consented to their sacrificial and ritual deaths, especially at the hand of the Talmudic Jews, they lost all Royal power to continue to hold the fabric of the universe together. How far they have fallen since then can be seen in the scandal sheets.

Once broken, the Vertical Axis of order, to which 'reality' itself is pinned, is almost impossible to restore. . Putin, in this sense, has been a miracle worker. I believe that Bakhtin, as the polar opposite of materialist Chomsky, understood this but could only speak of it elliptically

The above is based, in part, on my feeble understanding of the central mystery of the Logos.

This is brilliant, and I find myself troubled reading it. Like catching the a glimpse of the true nature of things as they stand today and where we are headed.

In other words, we have now entered completely into a war of the minds, something which the Scriptures have preached for thousands of years--good vs. evil, and we are just now catching up to that concept?

Is that a reasonable conclusion?

Dugin is not promoted as he has been cast as 'Putin's Brain' and that is the end of it. To be fair, the West is not allowed to hear what Putin says either.

I may be trying to get my head out of a steel cage of contradictions but isn't Post-Modernity just Neo-Barbarism? The circle always closes.
