The significance of the meeting that recently took place between Trump, Putin and their respective retinues on a US military base near Anchorage, Alaska, is not what it seemed. To contradict a commonly espoused opinion, it had precious little to do with Russia’s Special Military Operation to demilitarize and denazify the former Ukraine — that’s being adequately handled by the Russian army and no help from the US or its European lackeys is needed.

Rather, what took place in Alaska was an attempt at a transfusion of psychic energy from Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, Russia’s leader for the last quarter of a century and standing alongside such great Russian leaders as Peter I (the Great), Ivan IV (the Awesome) and Joseph Stalin. Putin is not just respected and admired but loved by his people and his approval rating hovers around the 80% mark — something that is utterly unattainable for all Western leaders. The egregore of Russia’s rulers, which has been alive, though not always well, for a thousand years, is alive and well now, perhaps the strongest it has ever been, embodied in the person of Vladimir Putin.

The egregore of the American president, on the other hand, is alive but quite far from well and fading fast. Not only is it weak, but it is being sucked dry by psychic energy leaches from the EU, NATO, the US deep state, the Zionist lobby and a wide assortment of other mental parasites. And so, in the interest of easing world tensions, Putin made a gracious offer to Trump to stand together, shake hands and have a friendly meeting where nothing was decided and no deals were signed, but a few possibly good ideas were floated in confidence. What Trump achieved along the way is a transfusion of psychic energy from Putin, his egregore gaining strength by the sheer fact of the two of them standing together at a symbolic altar on which was spelled “Alaska 2025” in huge letters. But the effect was fleeting and Trump’s nostalgic fondling of the photo from that event (while bragging about it) is not going to change the fact that the American egregore is fading away and that with it Pax Americana is disappearing and being replaced by a gradually developing Pax Russica.

I will discuss the details of this process in my next article. For now, here is a rerun of an oft-requested article from a year ago in which I delve into the nature of egregores and the American egregore specifically. This is important background material that needs to be understood before we can move forward.

Most of humanity is unconscious of the fact that they live and move in a world of phantasmagoria, in which their sense of national identity, the laws which they have internalized and by which they live and even the words they use to describe themselves are determined to a rather surprising extent not by any rational consideration but by the results of magic rituals that were first performed in the dim past and which continue to be performed today. Although we wish to see ourselves as fully rational and motivated by calculations of self-interest and by conceptions of individual and public good, it is rather hard to deny that what we regularly confront is various forms of group psychosis: obsessions, fixations, infatuations, emotional attachments, devotions… fanaticism. To deny that such powerful forces do exist is to deny human nature — in turn, to deny reality. The hardcore skeptical empiricist, it turns out, is driving blindfolded — unable to see the invisible yet important psychological lay of the land. And while the refusal to properly perceive and address matters of individual psychology mostly gives rise to personal failings and minor tragedies, such willful blindness with regard to group psychology can lead to arbitrarily horrible outcomes.purifying force. This is why books are burned rather than composted, used as mulch or fed to goats, and why witches are traditionally burned at the stake. Since egregores tend to become attached to certain buildings and sites, these have to be thoroughly demolished, leaving no stone upon a stone: “And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, there shall not be here left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be cast down.” (Matthew 24:2)
