TASS: "The office of the Security Council of the Russian Federation considers it increasingly urgent to carry out the de-satanization of Ukraine." Russian disinformation has now jumped the shark of its hybrid warfare campaign, having failed in making a Ukraine “dirty bomb” a credible threat even as mass bombardment has terrorized the civilian population.
Putin mentioned satanism in his September speech as well as the GOP trope of the LGBTQ threat against heterosexuality even as Satan does tend to favor a gender binary in his self-presentation, although recent US dominionist discourse now claims something, something… trans-scapegoats.
Invading Ukraine to impose denazification failed, now RU wants de-satanization, more likely because they want the US and other nations’ right-wing swing to fundamentalist religions to be entangled in the support for Ukrainian sovereignty. Putin seems to want to help the GOP election turnout in two weeks, aside from helping some Chechens rationalize their participation in future Ukraine combat.
Apparently because the culprits are “using network manipulation and psycho-technologies” rather than being about an actually evident Church of Satan, the real perpetrator might be the Murdoch media empire. Trumpists are the real “totalitarian hypersect”.
The TASS article claims that a US-based “Church of Satan” has spread across Ukraine. The article quotes the assistant secretary of the Security Council who suggests satanic collaboration with Ukrainian authorities, claiming that “all this Satanism finds a lively response and support from the official Ukrainian authorities”. He further claims that by “using network manipulation and psycho-technologies, the new authorities have turned Ukraine from a state into a totalitarian hypersect” of the Satanic Church.
The Kremlin and Russian state media initially justified their invasion of Ukraine as “de-Nazification” operation – despite the fact that Ukraine’s President Zelensky is Jewish and not a single far-right political party holds a seat in Ukraine’s parliament.
The Kremlin’s “de-Satanization” narrative aligns with comments given by Vladimir Putin in September 2022, during which he claimed that The West is “moving toward open satanism”.
On July 8, 2022, Kremlin spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused Canadian sanctions of being “satanist.”
