Only a united light can pierce the darkness in which we have all found ourselves — Arbak Khachatryan

Today we publish another conversation with the well-known independent human rights advocate and political scientist, author of ‘Ukraine–Armenia–Russia: A Third World War?’ and ‘On the Threshold of Nuclear Winter.’ His assessments and forecasts are remarkably accurate. So what must national leaders and the international community do to emerge from this large-scale geopolitical crisis?

— Mr. Khachatryan, your political struggle and activities of recent years could fill many volumes, and if all the years were described, there would not be enough paper. Yet our readers can form an impression only by reading a small part of your articles and interviews; the other side of the coin is hidden. When those articles were written, most of your contemporaries did not believe your political forecasts; a few even called them provocations. Today, unfortunately, everything you predicted has become reality. ‘The Forecasts Are Coming True,’ ‘An Azure Sky Instead of a Nightmare,’ ‘When a Flawed World Collapses, There Is a Chance to Create a Just Form of Government,’ ‘The Decisive Hour Has Come,’ and so on — and how many interviews devoted to Armenia… As a journalist, I want to use facts, your articles and interviews to show and prove to everyone that everything you spoke about has happened.

You can untangle the most difficult political knot and point to a way out that offers salvation. Frankly, I feel hurt on behalf of us all: why did the most powerful people in the world not listen to you?

Perhaps we would not have found ourselves in such a disheartening situation?

— Today time moves faster and political events change rapidly. We must act in time. You are now reading what I said 20–30 years ago or six months ago and saying, yes, you anticipated everything correctly. But I do not anticipate; I analyze everything and see. Everything I wrote about was relevant then, and action had to be taken that very second; otherwise you miss your chance. Today is a time for instantaneous decisions and lightning-fast action. People are disoriented. Do you not know that a person’s thinking, actions and life depend on the informational and psychological environment?

Journalism’s importance lies in presenting material impartially and honestly. In other words, people are morally and spiritually nourished by your information. No offense to you, but journalism has discredited itself. The entire world gets information from you, yet the proportion of commissioned information is now so excessive that a liar is not believed even when telling the truth.

— You are right. Today society does not know what or whom to believe. Five minutes of looking at an international news feed will confront you with diametrically opposed opinions, for example about Russia’s fate…

— I am simply certain that the course Russia has chosen today — restoring and preserving family values and fighting the banking system — will mean that very soon, in six to eight months, or perhaps a little sooner, Russia will become the center or one of the centers of a multipolar world.

— And yet you amaze me. Following a false denunciation by the Armenian authorities and a decision by the Russian authorities, from 2003 you spent almost three years in Lefortovo. Before that, Armenia’s special services detained you. Even after you were declared almost the number-one terrorist and a friend of Osama bin Laden, effectively stealing three years of your life, you did not become embittered and remain an optimist; your forecasts are the same…

— Out of habit, you are trying to see whose interests lie behind me… Understand that I am a child of the USSR, my home is Armenia, and I love Russia very much. If you do not love your home, you cannot love your neighbor either. Yes, I was held in the KGB basements of Armenia and Russia, but despite that I continued to fight. From there I asked that cancer cells, such as the leaders of dwarf states, not be allowed to multiply, which ultimately led to a global catastrophe. At one time, every one of them submitted to a strong Russia and licked it from head to toe.

But with their artificial values, at the first opportunity they betrayed Russia and will continue betraying the country that gave birth to them. This will continue until Russia awakens again, and then those dwarfs will come running back and ask to return. I am convinced of this. In any case, today only from Russia do I hear at an official level about the importance of preserving family values and traditional sexual relations. Only here have any levers at all been used against the banking system and unaffordable loans.

Banks are already being called bloodsuckers, despite the fact that people do not fully understand how to change this system properly. Of course, none of this is enough. It does not matter whether the interest on your loan is low or high; there should be no interest at all. Lowering interest rates does not mean you are reforming the banking system. Understand that banks are not simply buildings: they are metastases of the main cancerous tumor, the structures that keep all states and the international community under control through their sanctions.

Most representatives of the notorious ‘elite’ studying at prestigious foreign universities have a different orientation. The single-celled brain of a Yale University faggot, trained in how to steal officially through banks and stock exchanges, cannot teach how to build a proper system. There may, admittedly, be exceptions who understand the full destructiveness of the global financial octopus. When values are fully restored and Russia begins transforming into the strongest world center, I urgently ask the country’s leader to bring the banking system entirely under state control for the period of so-called global chaos or the building of a multipolar world.

This is so that financial defectors do not once again use their scraps of paper to corrupt the people’s values, only just cleansed of filth, and poison the people’s consciousness. I blame the possessors of great wealth for nothing, but I have become convinced that big money is like drugs. If the financial rats who fled come running back and, for example, private banks remain in the country, their big money will again corrupt people, get them addicted to the drug and replace values. All loopholes must be closed.

A leopard cannot change its spots. Look: chemists, physicists, engineers, doctors and so on are worthy and respected professions. But why should these people depend on banks and bankers, who, without producing anything or making an effort, have today become society’s ‘golden and wealthy’ elite? Being a banker is merely a profession and a job for a person, with a decent salary, nothing more. Culture, meanwhile, is not the mass-produced trash and vulgarity fed to today’s society to rake in big ‘bucks.’ Culture is responsible for human society’s spirituality and morality.

Therefore, in times of crisis, culture must not be funded only with what is left over, or pushed aside until better times; on the contrary, this sphere, so vital to humanity, must be strengthened.

— Mr. Khachatryan, typing your initials into a search engine brings up numerous articles on a wide range of subjects, but all sound an SOS about the threat of humanity’s destruction through moral decline and the substitution of true human values by the global governing octopus. Many then sincerely did not understand what was being discussed, or perhaps pretended not to understand, whereas today it has become fashionable to speak about family values and humanity’s forgotten fundamentals. In reality, though, the process of restoration is progressing slowly and hesitantly…

— Look: on the one hand, we speak about restoring family values, spirituality and morality; on the other, we champion soulless artificial intelligence. We are already trapped in a wretched global, soulless matrix, and by switching the program from the ugly banking-and-credit one to the artificial-intelligence one, we essentially change nothing. Humanity needs human intelligence, values, joys and sorrows, and our world — a human world. We want our children to grow up understanding that what matters most in human life is friendship, supporting one’s neighbor, love for one’s mother and homeland, rather than interest rates, money and the pursuit of them.

And what is a homeland? It is your ancestral home, your family, rather than simply a soulless territory to be viewed pragmatically: if you are not raking in ‘cash’ there, you can discard it, mortgage it to neighbors for considerable dividends, or even sell it and cold-bloodedly leave, for the time being, for another territory to drain its local resources.

— If we project this soulless global model of artificial intelligence onto a smaller one, a family for example, what do we get?

— Armenian mothers, for example, and not only they, are already beginning to raise their voices in protest; they do not want to bear children for this system. Look: a mother lovingly carries her child for nine months and gives birth, and then what happens to that child? It is immediately plunged into the poisonous atmosphere surrounding us of unjust government devoid of love and care, falling into the clutches of state structures, the banking and credit parasite, and so on. Already living in this toxic atmosphere herself, the mother is forced to keep taking out unaffordable loans to raise and educate her beloved child.

Immediately immersed in this poisonous environment, the little one learns the soulless rules of the game early: ‘respect and reverence’ depend on how much money one has. Our children’s idols today are moneybags of every kind, rather than intelligence and honesty, dignity and pride, selflessness and love. This matrix swallows everyone, young and old, turning them all into slaves of a soulless system. And if we add wars and mothers’ pain for dying sons, whom that same monster devours without feeling?

Look at the indescribable pain in mothers’ hearts as they mourn fallen heroes being buried in Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan. Their child is the most precious thing they have, and their weeping will soon spread across the earth. Stop using mothers for your paltry political ends. We have had enough of this cheap propaganda in which our sons become heroes… posthumously… And which of them is the true and greater hero: the soldier fighting for the Armenian side or the Azerbaijani side? If a soldier killing his enemy of the same age could feel his own mother’s comparable pain for a second, surely wars would end too.

But our heroes inhabit a soulless matrix, carrying out the whims of local, high-ranking clowns. And note that, unlike ours, the latter’s sons are in a ‘safe golden cocoon.’ So whom are the soldiers of different countries dying for? What is more, mothers in other countries are already joining Armenia’s mothers, who threaten to ‘close the maternity factory.’ Protests that come from the heart have a tendency to grow like a snowball. Can you imagine the demographic blow awaiting our planet?

— Perhaps that is what the global elite wants. After all, was it for nothing that these ‘gentlemen’ spoke about the need to reduce the earth’s population?

— Whoever digs a pit for someone else will fall into it himself. I would not be surprised if tomorrow these creatures were forced to use ‘advanced’ innovative technologies and artificial intelligence to make a ‘scientific breakthrough’ and, to make life easier for their ‘beloved women,’ create human incubators. These would gestate, for either two, five or nine months, and bring into the world a new generation of mercenary, soulless biorobots, deprived of love and unaware of such a feeling even in the perinatal period. Today it seems like science fiction, but consider that in 1869 Jules Verne’s submarine was science fiction too. — Mr. Khachatryan, does that mean hope for the salvation of all humanity should be linked to our mothers uniting?

— A mother’s capital is her children. A child is the fruit of love between a man and a woman. Today there are, of course, also real rather than fictional single mothers, who give birth in the name of love, by real men rather than an invented God. But only by uniting and refusing to be used in primitive political games can the mothers of the earth, with their instinct to protect their child, their family and therefore their country, achieve the impossible. Only a mother can unite the forces of light around her: educated, intellectual and spiritual representatives of the human community. Only united light can pierce the darkness in which we all find ourselves. All my hope rests with mothers, regardless of race or religion, skin or eye color. As one famous person said: ‘If mothers ruled the world, there would be no damned wars in the first place!’

P.S. At the end of our conversation, Arbak Khachatryan remarked ironically that perhaps God had decided to teach people a lesson and turned the world upside down, awarding the laurels of primacy to traders, speculators, moneylenders, jesters and buffoons who once lacked social prestige.
