Reader David Phillips sent this translation of Alexander Dugin’s analysis of Trump’s election, in which he declared that the hegemony of modern liberalism was at last over. Dugin, as I noted in an earlier post, is considered “Putin’s Brain.”

Now, he says, Russia and America will “drain the swamp” together. Rid it of its corrupt elements.

“The Swamp” is to become the new name for the globalist sect, the open society adepts, LGBT maniacs, Soros’ army, the post-humanists, and so on. Draining the Swamp is not only categorically imperative for America. It is a global challenge for all of us. Today, every people is under the rule of its own Swamp. We, all together, should start the fight against the Russian Swamp, the French Swamp, the German Swamp, and so on. We need to purge our societies of the Swamp’s influence. Instead of fighting between ourselves, let us drain it together. Swamp-drainers of the whole world unite!… We need a Nuremberg Trial for Liberalism, the last totalitarian political ideology of Modernity. Let us close this page of history….

The USA is the Far West of the world. It is the space of Midnight. And there the final point of the Fall is reached. The moment at hand is one of a change of poles. The West turns into the East. Putin and Trump are in two opposite corners of the planet. In the 20th century, these two extremes were embodied by the most radical forms of Modernity – capitalism and communism. Two apocalyptical monsters – Leviathan and Behemoth. Now they have turned into two eschatological promises: Putin’s Greater Russia and America liberating itself under Trump. The 21st century has finally begun.

So all we need now is the Fire.

This is scary stuff. Lunatics of the world, unite. Your time has come.
