| 3 |  🇺🇸AFU RECRUITERS BRUTALLY ABDUCTED A PRIEST OF THE UOC
🇺🇦РЕКРУТЕРИ ЗСУ ЖАХЛИВО ВИКРАЛИ СВЯЩЕННИКА УПЦ.
On July 23, in the city of Lutsk, in broad daylight, employees of the Territorial Recruitment Center abducted Fr. Ioann Kuzminskyi, a clergyman of the UOC.
Fr. Ioann is the rector of the St. John Church of the UOC in the village of Liubche.
Disturbing videos from the scene show the priest shouting and resisting as several TRC employees force him into a minibus.
According to attorney Mykyta Chekman, his legal team has taken up the case and is preparing all necessary legal filings. He also stated that, according to available information, TRC representatives threatened witnesses and urged them not to contact the police.

| 4 | Where is the "West" and its "freedoms"? (See above.) The West supports these antihuman activities. Where is the Ecumenical Patriarchate and its swelling words about human dignity? Yet, its "Tomos" has provided the ground for these violent attacks on people and even Orthodox priests. The EP bears responsibility for every priest kidnapped and sent to the front lines. Its support for the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church makes it culpable. Lord have mercy. | 153 |
| 5 |  +1🇺🇸UKRAINIAN ARMY RECRUITERS ABDUCT UOC PRIEST IN LUTSK, VOLYN REGION!
🇺🇦ТЦК ВИКРАЛИ СВЯЩЕННИКА УПЦ У ЛУЦЬКУ !
This harrowing footage shows the abduction of a priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) by recruiters from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Archpriest Ioann Kuzminsky, rector of the St. John the Merciful UOC church in the village of Lyubche (Volyn Oblast), is dragged away by his arms and legs by men in military uniforms.
They are wearing balaclavas to conceal their identities.
The Orthodox priest cries out and struggles as he is forcibly shoved into a minibus. Father Ioann's relatives tried to rescue him but had no chance.
The Ukrainian authorities are discriminatly abducting UOC priests in order to forcibly send them to the front. At the moment there are hundreds of such caces.
The canons of the Orthodox Church prohibit clergy from taking up arms or shedding blood. For them, being sent into military service is often a death sentence.

| 7 | The OCU leader, Epifaniy Dumenko, continues to form a fantastic parallel reality in which his structure is the largest in Ukraine.
⭕️ In his latest report, he states that the OCU consists of 9,200 parishes.
According to the UOC data from last year, OCU raiders and militants have seized more than 1,500 churches during their existence.
Over the year, these figures have increased, because all this time thieves continued to take away shrines from Orthodox Christians.
Dumenko himself claims about some 200 "parishes" that were re-registered in the OCU during the year.
Obviously, 99% of them were captured by raiders.
The OCU can take away churches and add them to its statistics on paper. However, you can’t hide the truth. All these hundreds of UOC parishes continue to exist, and the shrines seized by thieves are either closed or half-empty.
⭕️ Next comes there is the most anecdotal point.
Dumenko, referring to KIIS data, states that “according to all key indicators, the OCU, even in the conditions of the anomalous existence in Ukraine of the non-canonical jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate, continues to be the largest religious association in our country and one of the largest Local Churches.”
He incites hatred and claims that his followers are almost 11 times more than Orthodox Christians.
🎪The head of the structure, who for a more or less ordinary service has to bring in extras from different regions of the country (not even cities or localities, but countries), talks about some kind of “mass support”.
At a time when OCU photographers are afraid to take general photos from services in cathedrals, so as not to inadvertently illuminate the emptiness, the head of the OCU is giving out these shameful fantasies.
Even the Church persecutors, like Filipovych and co., admit that the largest Church is the UOC.
So who are these OCU fables aimed at?
⭕️ Ironic against the background of this bravado is the number of OCU clergy named by Dumenko — 6,000. This is 0.6 clergy per OCU premises.
Incredible evidence of incredible support.
⭕️ The OCU head also claims 90 monasteries and convents. But, even more ironically, it is embarrassing to mention the number of monks.
According to the latest data, there were 233 of them. Minus 63 OCU hierarchs - 170. We have 1.8 OCU monks per monastery. This would also be evidence of strong support.

| 8 | This is interesting because I remember reading somewhere that Nazis established controlled ghettos for Jewish people in WWII. Many were eventually walled off and patrolled by police/military to confine and segregate. This is always presented as a terribly evil action on the part of the Nazis. It's interesting that a similar, at least it seems to me, policy is being enacted by a Zionist State. Humm.

| 9 | The OCU leader has once again demanded that UOC hierarchs and believers accept the terms of the Tomos and unite around the “Kyiv See.”
Epifaniy Dumenko has described the continued existence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church as a “challenge” to church life in Ukraine. The OCU head again accused the UOC of ties to the Moscow Patriarchate and acknowledged that there is no dialogue between the two structures, according to the OCU website.
Speaking at the Bishops’ Council on July 14, 2026, Dumenko complained that the commission he established in February 2026 under the leadership of Simeon Shostatskyi had received no response from His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry.
“There has been no official response from the leadership of the Metropolia headed by Metropolitan Onuphry – just as there was no response to any of our previous statements and appeals,” the OCU head complained.
Dumenko once again demanded that UOC hierarchs and believers accept the terms of the Tomos and unite around the “Kyiv See.” The OCU head also thanked everyone who had left what he called the “uncanonical, spiritually harmful, and morally bankrupt subordination to the Moscow Patriarchate.”
According to him, “the final liberation from the yoke of the ‘Russian world’ is vitally necessary for Ukraine and spiritually beneficial for Orthodoxy.”

| 10 | Interesting. Not that I have much trust in the voting as a way to change much of anything. Nonetheless, at least people are seeing the issues. Data center controversy unseats powerful Utah lawmaker | 960 |
| 11 | “A servant of the machine, the man must become a machine himself, and thenceforth his work has nothing really human in it, for it no longer implies the putting to work of any of the qualities that really constitute human nature. The end of all this is called in present-day jargon ‘mass-production’, the purpose of which is only to produce the greatest possible quantity of objects, and objects as exactly alike as possible, intended for the use of men who are supposed to be no less alike; that is indeed the triumph of quantity, and it is by the same token the triumph of uniformity,” Rene Guenon. The Reign of Quantity, pp. 60-61. | 247 |
| 12 | “Does the injustice in life upset you? This shows that you love the people who wallow in it and feel sorry for them. And if you love and pity them, obviously intuitively feeling the presence of a grain of goodness in every human being, then do you know that the Lord, Who is omniscient and all–seeing, will not allow even a small particle of these grains to perish, but somehow He will unite all that is good together? Our joy is the opportunity to serve this unity; our sorrow is the awareness of our weakness in this service. But this sorrow is healed by faith in the Lord Who helps all those who seek help. And joy cannot be overshadowed by our unworthiness, because serving the Lord is not alien even to dumb animals and inanimate nature itself,” New Hieromartyr John Steblin-Kamensky. | 288 |
| 13 | Modern day "Israel" is an ideology, it is the ideology of Zionism. Although this ideology revolves around a "Jewish" ethnicity, it is not ultimately about "Jews." Many Jews are not Zionists and are even Christians. It's my opinion that its important that we focus on the ideological teaching of modern "Israel", because like many ideologies before it, it is destructive and anti-Christ. Its fruits reveal this clearly. It is undeniably rooted in Talmudic Rabbinical teachings. When these teachings and ideologies are professed as "true" the adherents act accordingly. Thus, the ideological system of the State of Israel reveals itself to be antis-Christian. Ideologies enslave people, sometimes willingly and unwillingly. Currently, the anti-Christ agenda of Zionism is clearly revealing itself. May the Lord have mercy. As Christians are attacked in Israel, government shows little concern | 337 |
| 14 | Is there a less obvious way to say we have sold the Gospel out to pander to the worldly powers? (see above article.) How much concerted energy does it take to be this hypocritical? One is free to dislike Putin all day long, but to promote Zelensky as a "beacon of hope" totally ridiculous. | 296 |
| 15 | St. Nicholas National Shrine to Honor Zelenskyy at Beacon of Hope Dinner
NEW YORK — The St. Nicholas National Shrine Board of Trustees has announced that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will be honored at the 2026 Beacon of Hope Dinner, scheduled for Sept. 26, 2026, at Casa Cipriani in New York City.
The black-tie event will feature cocktails, an award dinner, and an after-dinner reception, with organizers describing the evening as a gathering centered on faith, hope, resilience, and unity. The shrine’s board said Zelenskyy is “a most worthy recipient who illuminates the path forward in times of great challenge.” The event’s promotional materials stated, “History will be in the room."

| 18 | “We have placed too much hope in politics and social reforms, only to find out that we were being deprived of our most precious possession: our spiritual life. It is trampled by the party mob in the East, by the commercial one in the West. This is the essence of the crisis. The split in the world is less terrifying than the similarity of the disease afflicting its main section,” A. Solzhenitsyn, Harvard Address. | 314 |
| 19 | I made a post about the above event a few days ago. Some asked who from Mt. Athos comprised the delegation. The above article answers that. Now delegations from Athos are supporting the gathering of thieves, robbers, and violent persecutors. Terrible. If the OCU is a "profound spiritual movement and a return to truth" then all hope is lost in this world. | 358 |
| 20 | Athonite Delegation Participates in OCU Service at Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra
KYIV — An Athonite delegation led by Archimandrite Bartholomew, abbot of the New Esphigmenou Monastery on Mount Athos, participated in an Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) service held July 10 at the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
During his remarks, Archimandrite Bartholomew described the creation of the OCU as "not a political act" or merely an administrative change, but rather "a profound spiritual movement" and a "return to the truth."
