Putin's reference to Satanism was a pointed rebuke to the New World Order elites, who – though they push militant secularism on the societies they are trying to undermine – are closet Satanists."

During the Cold War, the United States and much of the West argued that the Soviet Union was a "godless nation."[1] Last year, Vladimir Putin took that pendulum, swung it on the other direction, and landed it on the Zionist regime. As Patrick Buchanan put it then, "In the new war of beliefs, Putin is saying, it is Russia that is on God's side. The West is Gomorrah."[2] Putin said:

"Many Euro-Atlantic countries have moved away from their roots, including Christian values. Policies are being pursued that place on the same level a multi-child family and a same-sex partnership, a faith in God and a belief in Satan. This is the path to degradation."[3]

The Washington Times reported then:

"In his state of the nation address, Mr. Putin also portrayed Russia as a staunch defender of 'traditional values' against what he depicted as the morally bankrupt West. Social and religious conservatism, the former KGB officer insisted, is the only way to prevent the world from slipping into 'chaotic darkness.'
