The Rio Tinto Corporation today is a symbol of neo-colonialism, a symbol of the power of money and a symbol of the destruction of the environment that, like the tick that penetrates the human organism, penetrates the organism of the targeted state. Just as a tick to suck blood out of a man's body uses a "trunk", which also serves as its anchor, Rio Tinto to suck natural wealth out of the state uses corruption, and as a tick infects a man, Rio Tinto poisons the people and leaves a wasteland in the state.
The starting point of Rio Tinto's penetration into Serbia is the Valley of Jadra.
The Vucic regime has been stripped of, and is no longer able to hide, service to this powerful and extremely dangerous enemy of Serbia and the Serbian people.
Rio Tinto is the "lacmus paper" that today brings to light every institution in Serbia and every man, it clearly shows who is with the Serbian people and who is with their executioners, who is faith and who is infidel. This "lacmus paper" has been dipped into Serbian state institutions, political parties, those in power and those in opposition, patriotic and other Serbian organizations, governmental and non-governmental organizations, scientific and cultural institutions, media..., all the way to the individual. He is also involved in the Serbian Orthodox Church and religious communities.
The effort, it would be even panicked, of the Vucic regime to introduce Rio Tinto into Serbia, is exactly proving to be a dividing point: who is, by their act or retreat into the mouse holes, with him with the enemies of Serbia and the Serbian people, and who is not. Many are Vucic's regime tied itself to benefits: money, employment, social status, protectionist business, the abolition of crime. However, a good part of the Serbian people is not for sale.
"People's suffering has its limits," Metropolitan Amfilohije told me in an interview. Has the uninsured people in Serbia reached that border? Is Jadar the current Cer, Kolubara, Kajmakčalan, Košare and Pastrik, and the whole of Serbia Kosovo a field. Is it a place of choosing who will stand at Cer with the Serbian soldier, and who will join the Croats and Bosnian Muslims in the Austrian army, is it a place of the New Testament of Lazar?
This division shows a particular challenge to the Serbian Orthodox Church. It has always been torn between the influence and control of those in power, even the occupying or vassal, and the people's Salvation. And, with all the gifts of the baptized people and the clergy, with the special consequences of the gifts of the high clergy, the Serbian people survived through their orcan history thanks to the Serbian Orthodox Church. She's on the same challenge today.
"Who is a Serb of Serbian descent, / and of Serbian blood and knees,/ and did not come to fight in Kosovo...", and this year on Vidovdan we remembered Lazar's curse. Lazar's vow, the choice of the kingdom of heaven in relation to the earthly – also, especially at the liturgy, with amvon.

"And to us the priests of God the most high, to all of us who in the act of ordination held Agnec on the East Side Of The Venerable table while the bishop read that we would answer for him in the terrible judgment, here is an opportunity to test whether our liturgical sermons, lectures, lessons to the faithful people, stand out from the Gospel or are they" graves lined', the Pharisaic Rolling of empty words,' I wrote, and published, 4. March last year, after Vucic managed to climb another step on the long ladder of recognition of Kosovo as a state.
Here we, the priests of God The Most High, have a wonderful opportunity to listen to Ava Justin, whose relics, for the salvation of the Serbian race, we carried in Belgrade this year's Salvation procession, that "the authorities should be obeyed while reflecting the Divine Order in the world". The Rio Tinto Corporation, of course, is not the fruit of the Divine Order in the world, not even the service of it.
And let us hear Ava's terrible warning, delivered about St. Sava in 1971. years and all the time: "Let us not let this still believing people of God one hour come to the point that today's Bishops no longer recognize themselves as carriers and Guardians of the Apostolic-patristic faith, as the Orthodox people have known to do so many times in their baptismal history."
As always in troubled times, such as this, The Church is in danger of its unity being violated. The Serbian Orthodox Church today…
But the unity of the Church is established and maintained on Christ, on his apostles, on the Holy Fathers. And in no time, not even this one, is the unity of the Church possible to establish on the ruler, not even on Vucic and his regime.
The unity of the church can be violated in her clergy, especially high. But the unity of the Church, as the Eta warns, can also be broken between the clergy and the Lao (the faithful people), which is far more destructive. It is happening to the Serbian Orthodox Church that by preserving the unity of the high clergy, the unity of its clergy and Laos is threatened. That crack is already yawning and spreading rapidly.
Branislav Matić is 2019. "the Church will either lead the resistance to treason, or it will have this resistance against itself."
Last year or the previous year, I wrote, and published, that every dinar that the Vucic regime wields on the Serbian Orthodox Church is the door to the Serbian people. Neither the completion of the Church of St. Sava with the money of the Vucic regime, even if Vucic had built it as he claims, is worth one pediment of the lost state terrorism, let alone all of Kosovo and Metohija; nor all other churches built or rebuilt with the money of the Vucic regime are worth a single soul's loss in the western New pagan flood by which Vucic regime opens Serbia's doors; not all the benefits that the clergy of the Serbian Orthodox Church have from the Vucic regime are worth suffering in misery…
"For what good is a man if he gains the whole world and harms his soul?
Or what kind of redemption will a man give for his soul?"the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Mark wrote to us in the Gospel.
The cry of Ava Justina today is stronger than when he said to him: "Blessed fathers, why have we become a rabbit? Where is the freedom with which the Lord Christ sets us free?“
What is it that a man should carry within himself in order to bring a wolf into the sheep for any and all of his benefits, and even for the sake of his life, if it is at stake for him, those sheep that have put him in a position to be able to decide their fate. And what it is that a man must carry within himself in order to support, actively or silently, his act for any benefit of him who brings the Wolf Among the sheep. Finally, how is it that the pastor of the church silently watches where the Wolf breaks from God his trusted flock.
The people of Serbia strongly resisted the destruction of Jadra, and the destruction of other parts of Serbia that follow. Public opinion polls in Serbia show that the vast majority of people have recognized Rio Tinto in Jadro as a fatal danger. It is possible that Vucic's regime will temporarily withdraw from this pressure again, as it did two and a half years ago, when the opening of lithium mines in the Valley of Jadar stalled, also under pressure.
A few days ago, mainstream media in Serbia published: "Vucic announced great news: the average salary in Serbia for the first time exceeds 100,000 dinars". It seems that the ground trick, used many times, did not work this time.
For several decades, the Western mammoth value system of life has softened, oppressed Serbian gender before its destruction: before political and economic capitulation, before the stretched recognition of Kosovo as a state, before the media quintessence, before the occupation of education, science, medical and social institutions..., before the ritual oppression of its the dignity of public manifestations of LGBT ideology and the placement on the state pedestal of the public lesbian era, with moral, ethical and spiritual decline of epic proportions.
The new colonial Vucic regime is the promoter of this deep suffering of the Serbian people, through which all the time perfidiously, by improving and then using its weaknesses, it pours a horn instead of a candle. Starving the people's ears and carefully and thoroughly nurturing its corrupt potential, the Vucic regime in Serbia successfully implements the list of tasks of the colonizers in whose service it is. But "nobody burned until dawn," our uncorrupted ancestors inherited. Now the Serbian people have reached the wall and have nowhere to retreat. Now he has come to"to be or not to be."
It is possible that Rio Tinto Vucic will be what Djukanovic was the law on freedom of religion. What then will those who have connected themselves with him, be they in the world or in the Church?
It is possible that attachment to Vucic is still not attachment to a corpse, but it is certainly, and all the time, attachment to the sin of deep suffering of the Serbian people.
It is possible that the current rebellion of the Serbian people against the Vucic regime, caused by the introduction of the Monster Rio Tinto to a feast in Serbia, is used and channeled by the Masters to these vicna marifetluks. But it is not to be believed that this future government, however servile to the new colonizers, can be a greater deception to the Serbian people than the one that has been pursuing the interests of the enemies of Serbia and the Serbian people secretly, openly pledging patriotism.
