NATO’s Nazis Support Ukraine’s Nazis

Posted on by

From Niqnaq blog: [Lila: my excerpting and emphasis; this is not an endorsement of any other position on this blog, which I came across while hunting for information which was sound and well referenced.]

ITEM

On Feb 27 2022, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland held a scarf bearing the slogan “Slava Ukraini,” meaning “Glory to Ukraine,” with the “Blood and Soil” colors of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) (who collaborated with the Nazis during WW2 and massacred thousands of Jews and Poles). She then proceeded to post this picture onto her Twitter account (replacing it hours later with a picture of her without the “Blood and Soil” scarf) and accused her detractors of “reeking of Russian disinformation”. This controversial picture of Freeland was reported by Canada’s National Post…… Not irrelevant in all of this is the fact that Freeland’s grandfather was the chief editor of a Nazi newspaper during WW2 in Galacia and that she is indeed aware of this and apparently unapologetic. Whenever she is questioned about this, she does not deny anything, but simply blames such a focus of inquiry on Russian disinformation with the intent to “destabilize Western democracies.” That is, it is not a question of what is one’s historical or ideological background, but a question of “whose side are you on?” Interestingly, it was the Canadian newspaper “The Globe and Mail” who reported this story, titled “Freeland knew her grandfather was editor of Nazi newspaper,” thus, not a Russian publication last time I checked. And upon whom did they base such information? None other than Freeland’s own uncle, John-Paul Himka, who is now professor emeritus at the University of Alberta. According to the Globe and Mail, Freeland was aware for more than two decades that her grandfather Michael Chomiak, was the chief editor of a Nazi newspaper that vilified Jews and supported the Nazi cause. Globe and Mail writes:

Krakivski Visti [Krakow News] was set up in 1940 by the German army and supervised by German intelligence officer Emil Gassert. Its printing presses and offices were confiscated by the Germans from a Jewish publisher, who was later murdered at the Belzec concentration camp. The article titled ‘Kravivski Visti and the Jews, 1943: A contribution of Ukrainian Jewish Relations during the Second World War’ was written by Ms Freeland’s uncle, John-Paul Himka, now professor emeritus at the University of Alberta. In the foreword to the article, Prof Himka credits Ms Freeland for ‘pointing out problems and clarifications.’ Ms Freeland has never acknowledged that her grandfather was a Nazi collaborator and suggested on Monday that the allegation was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. In 1996, Prof Himka wrote about Mr Chomiak’s work for Kravivski Visti, a Ukrainian-language newspaper based in Krakow that often published anti-Jewish diatribes including ‘certain passages in some of the articles that expressed approval of what the Nazis were doing to the Jews.’…..

ITEM

Then there is the strange case of NATO tweeting in celebration of international women’s day, this past Mar 8, a picture of a female Ukrainian soldier wearing the Black Sun symbol which is tied to Nazi occultism, and Satanism. NATO wrote in their post: “All women and girls must live free and equal,” sending a very mixed message. NATO also ended up taking down their picture of the Black Sun symbol.

John McCain visits Ukraine in Dec 2013 in support of a regime change. The world should have been appalled and horrified at such an exposure of US criminality and duplicity. That the US had directly and loudly encouraged and financially supported a revolution that resulted in many tragic deaths, only to steal the Ukrainian people’s right to choose their own government democratically. The Americans also encouraged the Ukrainian people to fight for the EU Deal. And the Ukrainian people received the EU Deal that they were literally dying for. Where are they today? The poorest country in all of Europe. Ukraine used to be among the richest countries in Eastern Europe, known as “the breadbasket of Europe.” However, this economic fact is harder and harder to come by since Ukraine was a part of the USSR when their economy was at its peak. A most inconvenient truth. It is for this reason that you will be hard pressed to find any GDP graph of Ukraine that begins earlier than 1991, the date of their independence. From 1991 to 1997, Ukraine lost 60% of their GDP (1) and suffered five-digit inflation rates. (2) Who was Ukraine beholden to during this massive recession that has never really ended for Ukrainians? The IMF. [More on this story in Part 2.]

ITEM

On Jan 23 2018, Joe Biden was invited to speak at a CFR platform about an article he co-authored with Michael Carpenter titled “How to Stand Up to the Kremlin: Defending Democracy Against Its Enemies.” ……. Joe Biden makes the following admission at this 2018 CFR platform:

I went over I guess the 12th, 13th time to Kiev, and I was going supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they didn’t. So they said they had it [the loan] they were walking out to press and I said nah, I said I’m not going or we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said ‘you have no authority, you’re not the president, the president said,’ I said call him. [laughter in background] I said, I’m telling you’re not getting a billion dollars. I said you’re not getting a billion and I’m gonna be leaving here. I think it was about six hours. I looked I said I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Oh son of a bitch. He got fired. [laughter in background] And they put in place, someone who was solid.

ITEM

During the EU Deal dispute that was used to trigger the Ukrainian protests, it has since been discovered that part of the conditions of this “deal,” which was strong-armed by the IMF, was the demand that a significant rise in utility rates (first and foremost electricity and gas) be implemented while the income of Ukrainians stayed the same. Who was Ukrainian President Yanukovych’s point person in the US during the Ukrainian protests and EU Deal controversy? US Vice President Joe Biden. The Ukrainian people had no idea. The very deal they were fighting and dying for was to directly benefit corrupt gas companies such as Burisma Holdings and their foreign shareholders, to the economic detriment of the Ukrainian people. A similar situation to what most of Europe is facing today under a plethora of glorious “EU Deals” in the midst of an energy crisis.

ITEM

In addition, the NYT has just recently published an article confirming that the notorious Hunter Biden laptop that was claimed as “Russian disinformation” by our trustworthy fact-checkers, is in actual fact, AUTHENTIC. A very important piece of information that should have been made available to the American people before they chose who would be their next President. This important piece of information was denied to the American people by the very thing that is proclaimed to be defending “national security,” the unelected and anonymous but all powerful, “fact-checkers.”..

ITEM

So, we all know Joe Biden has been promoted, um “elected,” President. Where are Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt today? Nuland serves as the Under Sec State for Political Affairs of the US. Pyatt serves as the US Ambassador to Greece. Nuland, not one to shy away from unflattering spotlight, has again made headlines. This time on the American, starts with “bio” ends with “lab,” situation in Ukraine…..

ITEM

What did not make the headlines with equal vigour is what Nuland did after her failed diplomatic visit to Russia this past October, which was according to French journalist Thierry Meyssan, to “impose” Yarosh onto President Zelensky. On Nov 2 2021, President Zelensky appointed Dmytro Yarosh (leader of the Right Sector 2013-2015) as Adviser to the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeri Zaluzhny. Nuland is of Ukrainian Jewish descent, thus her ongoing support for neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian government and military since 2014 is disturbing on multiple levels. Right Sector has close connections with Trident (Tryzub) and Patriot of Ukraine. All three groups are right-wing nationalist, neo-Nazi, paramilitary movements as well as political parties. Look it up for yourself, not even Wikipedia is denying this. Yarosh was the leader of Tryzub starting in 2005. Tryzub led to the formation of the Right Sector, to which Yarosh was also leader of between 2013-2015 and continues to have a great deal of influence on all these groupings. Dmytro Yarosh has been on Interpol’s “wanted list” since 2014.

Recall that in 2014, the US “influence” on the newly formed Ukrainian government was raising concern, specifically around members of Svoboda and Pravyi Sector (Right Sector) holding five senior roles in the new government, including the post of deputy prime minister. This story was reported by Reuters.

ITEM

On Jan 1 2022, hundreds of Ukrainian nationalists held a torchlight march in the capital of Kyiv, seen in the above picture, to mark the birthday of Stephen Bandera one of the leaders of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and its paramilitary unit the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) who fought alongside the Nazis during WW2 and massacred thousands of Jews and Poles. These Ukrainian nationalists are shown in the above picture holding the Svoboda and UPA “Blood and Soil” flag. The latter being the same emblem Chrystia Freeland held this past February. This event was reported by The Times of Israel. I wonder, will Freeland’s press secretary dare to call this another classic case of “KGB disinformation”? So what is going on here? Are there real Nazis in Ukraine that are being selected, with US and possibly NATO backing, to play a political and military role? And if so, why?

Alfred McCoy: Ukraine War Will Birth New World Order

Posted on by

On Democracy Now, Professor Alfred McCoy explains why the Ukrainian war will give birth to a new world order.  That is, a new New World Order.

Lila: Perhaps it is in this sense that the predictions since 2015 from various Rabbis that we are living in messianic times and that the moshiach has arrived/is arriving can best be understood. After all, if this new order,  diminishes the United States and NATO, which it seems to be doing,  then the fall of Edom/AntiChrist, associated in the minds of the Rabbis with Western  Christianity/Europe/North America, must be accompanied by the rise of the Messiah, which in this geopolitical reading, is the new NWO, led by Russia and China, ostensibly, with Israel playing a mediating role.

Ukraine Military Medical Chief: Castrate Wounded Russian “cockroaches”

Posted on by

Gennadiy Druzenko, head of Ukrainian military medical service, boasted on Ukraine 24 channel that he “gave strict orders to castrate all the wounded” Russians “because they are cockroaches, not humans.”

He further implied that, at the hands of his unit, Russian prisoners of war “will die in very large numbers” so that surviving Russians remembered Ukraine with terror “like the Germans remembered Stalingrad.”

RT also reports: “A darling of the Western media amid the Russian attack on his country, Druzenko is fluent in English and has been readily speaking to the likes of CNN and the New York Post about the work of what these outlets have dubbed the “medical angels.”

 

Jews and Latvians Imposed The Holodomor On Ukraine

Posted on by

Eric  Margolis at the Toronto Sun:

As Britain’s socialist government cleared the way for a gaudy show trial of that Great Satan of the left, Chile’s Gen. Augusto Pinochet, the 65th anniversary of this century’s bloodiest crime was utterly ignored. Leftists now baying for Pinochet’s head don’t want to be reminded of the Unknown Holocaust. In 1932, Soviet leader Josef Stalin unleashed genocide in Ukraine. Stalin determined to force Ukraine’s millions of independent farmers
– called kulaks – into collectivized Soviet agriculture, and to crush Ukraine’s growing spirit of nationalism. Faced by resistance to collectivization, Stalin unleashed terror and dispatched 25,000 fanatical young party militants from Moscow – earlier versions
of Mao’s Red Guards – to force 10 million Ukrainian peasants into collective farms. Secret police units of OGPU began selective executions of recalcitrant farmers.
When Stalin’s red guards failed to make a dent in this immense number, OGPU was ordered to begin mass executions. But there were simply not enough Chekists (secret police) to kill so many people, so Stalin decided to replace bullets with a much cheaper medium of death – mass starvation. All seed stocks, grain, silage
and farm animals were confiscated from Ukraine’s farms. […]
OGPU agents and Red Army troops sealed all roads and rail lines. Nothing came in or out of Ukraine. Farms were searched and looted of food and fuel. Ukrainians quickly began to
die of hunger, cold and sickness. When OGPU failed to meet weekly execution quotas, Stalin sent henchman Lazar Kaganovitch to destroy Ukrainian resistance. Kaganovitch,
the Soviet Eichmann, made quota, shooting 10,000 Ukrainians weekly. Eighty percent of all Ukrainian intellectuals were executed. A Ukrainian party member named Nikita Khruschchev helped supervise the slaughter. During the bitter winter of
1932-33, mass starvation created by Kaganovitch and OGPU hit full force. Ukrainians ate their pets, boots and belts, plus bark and roots. Some parents even ate infant children.
The precise number of Ukrainians murdered by Stalin’s custom-made famine and Cheka firing squads remains unknown to this day. The KGB’s archives, and recent work by Russian historians, show at least seven million died. Ukrainian historians put the
figure at nine million, or higher. Twenty-five percent of Ukraine’s population was exterminated. […]
Kaganovitch and many senior OGPU officers (later, NKVD) were Jewish. The predominance of Jews among Bolshevik leaders, and the frightful crimes and cruelty inflicted by Stalin’s Cheka on Ukraine, the Baltic states and Poland, led the victims of Red Terror to blame the Jewish people for both communism and their
suffering. As a direct result, during the subsequent Nazi occupation of Eastern Europe, the region’s innocent Jews became the target of ferocious revenge by Ukrainians, Balts
and Poles. […] Stalin’s murder of millions was simply denied, or concealed by a left-wing conspiracy of silence that continues to this day. … Socialist luminaries like Bernard Shaw, Beatrice and
Sidney Webb and PM Edouard Herriot of France, toured Ukraine during 1932-33 and proclaimed reports of famine were false. Shaw announced: “I did not see one under-nourished person in Russia.” New York Times correspondent Walter Duranty, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his Russian reporting, wrote claims of famine were “malignant propaganda.” Seven million people were dying around them, yet these fools saw nothing. The New York Times has never repudiated Duranty’s lies. […] Western historians delicately skirt the sordid fact that the governments of Britain, the
United States and Canada were fully aware of the Ukrainian genocide and Stalin’s other monstrous crimes. Yet they eagerly welcomed him as an ally during World War II. …
None of the Soviet mass murderers who committed genocide were ever brought to justice. Lazar Kaganovitch died peacefully in Moscow a few years ago, still wearing his Order of the Soviet Union, and enjoying a generous state pension.” (Toronto Sun,
“Remembering Ukraine’s Unknown Holocaust,” December 13, 1998) In a sickening display of Talmudic insolence, Aleksandr Feldman — the leader of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee — sought to undermine a Ukrainian government motion to prosecute a case against the Soviet criminals who orchestrated the Holodomor genocide, for the predictable reason
that all of the names on the published list of conspirators were Jewish:

“KIEV, Ukraine (JTA) — A Jewish group in Ukraine is objecting to a criminal case brought over the “Great Famine” committed in the 1930s. The nation’s security service is pressing
the case against a list of former Soviet officials accused of committing the Holodomor, which caused the deaths of millions in Ukraine in 1932-33. Most of the names on the
list were Jewish. Ukrainian lawmaker Aleksandr Feldman, leader of the Ukrainian Jewish Committee, said last week that it was “a farce” to press the case. “All organizers of the
Great Famine are dead,” he said. Last July, the Ukrainian Security Service released a list of high-ranking Soviet state and Communist Party officials — as well as
officials from NKVD, the police force of Soviet Russia — that essentially blamed Jews and Latvians responsible for perpetrating and executing the famine because most of the names on the list were Jewish. The Ukrainian Jewish Committee called on
the secret service to revise the list, which incited interethnic hatred, in order to clear up the “inaccuracy.”” (JTA, “Jewish Group Objects To ‘Great Famine’ Case,” June 15, 2009)

David Stockman: Ukraine Is A Fake Kleptocracy, Not Worth World War

Posted on by

In a historically informed and insightful piece on the background of the Ukraine war, David Stockman puts the failed kleptocracy of Ukraine and its tin-pot clown prince into proper historical perspective:

On April 26, 1954 The decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet transferring the Crimea Oblast from the Russian SFSR to the Ukrainian SSR. Taking into account the integral character of the economy, the territorial proximity and the close economic and cultural ties between the Crimea Province and the Ukrainian SSR….

So, yes, there is every reason for a Kiev government which finally sues for peace to return Crimea to Russia, which owned it all along; and in which Ukrainians accounts for less than 15% of the predominant Russian speaking population. For Washington to claim otherwise and encourage Zelensky to hold out is tantamount to a naked case of hegemonic arrogance.

After all, during the long decades of the Cold War, the West did nothing to liberate the “captive nation” of Ukraine – with or without the Crimean appendage bestowed upon it in 1954. Nor did it draw any red lines in the mid-1990s when a financially desperate Ukraine rented back Sevastopol and the strategic redoubts of Crimea to an equally pauperized Russia.

In short, in the era before we got our Pacific port in 1848 and even during the 170-year interval since then, America’s national security has depended not one whit on the status of Russian-speaking Crimea and the Donbas regions of eastern Ukraine. The fact that the local population of the former in March 2014 chose fealty to the Grand Thief in Moscow over the ruffians and rabble that have seized Kiev amounts to a giant, “So what?”

Still, it was this final aggressive drive of Washington and NATO into the internal affairs of Russia’s historical neighbor and vassal, Ukraine, that largely accounts for the current dangerous confrontation. Likewise, it is virtually the entire source of the false claim that Russia has aggressive, expansionist designs on the former Warsaw Pact states in the Baltics, Poland and beyond.

The latter is a nonsensical fabrication. In fact, it was the neocon meddlers from Washington who crushed Ukraine’s last semblance of democratic governance when they enabled ultra-nationalists and crypto-Nazis to gain government positions after the February 2014 coup, which threw-out Ukraine’s legitimately elected, Russia-leaning president.

In this context, moreover, the history of the 1930s and 1940s must never be forgotten. As indicated above, Stalin decimated upwards of 15% of the Ukrainian population during the Holodomer (starvations) and then moved huge numbers of Russian-speakers into the Donbas to safeguard its chemical, steel and armaments industries from the defiant locals who were sent to Siberia.

Thereafter, when Hitler’s Wehrmacht came charging through Ukraine on its way to the bloody battle of Stalingrad, it had no trouble recruiting hundreds of thousands of vengeance-seeking Ukrainian nationalists to its ranks to do its dirty work: That is, the brutal liquidation of Jews, Poles, Gypsies and other untermenschen.

In fact, during the fall of 1941 began the mass killings of Jews that continued through 1944. An estimated 1.5 million Ukrainian Jews perished, and over 800,000 were displaced to the east; at Baby Yar in Kyiv nearly 34,000 were killed in just the first two days of massacre – and all of these depredations were assisted and often executed by local Ukrainian nationalists.

Then, of course, the tide turned and the Red Army came marching back though the rubble of Ukraine on its way to Berlin. After their victory over the Germans at the Battle of Stalingrad in early 1943, the Soviets launched an equally brutal scorched earth counteroffensive westward, searching high and low for traitors and collaborators among the Ukrainian population who had allegedly aided the Wehrmacht.

The Germans thus began their slow retreat from Ukraine in mid-1943, leaving wholesale destruction in their wake. In November the Soviets reentered Kyiv, where guerrilla activity intensified amid bloody revenge killings which claimed huge numbers of civilian victims. By the spring of 1944 the Red Army had penetrated into Galicia (western Ukraine), and by the end of October Ukraine was a bloody wasteland, once again under Red Army control.

So it may be fairly asked: What Washington lame brains did not understand that triggering “regime change” in Kiev in February 2014 would reopen this entire blood-soaked history of sectarian and political strife?

Moreover, once they had opened Pandora’s Box, why was it so hard to see that an outright partition of Ukraine with autonomy for the Donbas and Crimea, or even accession to the Russian state from which these communities had originated, would have been a perfectly reasonable resolution?

Certainly that would have been far preferable to dragging all of Europe into the lunacy of the current military showdown and further embroiling the Ukrainian factions in a suicidal civil war.

Needless to say, Zelensky gets none of this in the slightest – even though as a native and Russian speaking son of southeastern Ukraine, he actually grew up in a part of modern Ukraine that had been Russian for 370 years!

That’s right. He’s just the perennial short guy feasting on his 15 minutes of fame. But enough is enough already. In a rational world this double-talking creep should have been sent packing this morning by the US Congress, but these war-obsessed nincompoops can’t see the handwriting on the wall.

So once again, here it is. This is where the story ends – even as Washington wages Sanctions War on the entire global economy and thereby the American people as well.

How Ukraine Will Be Partitioned After Kiev Capitulates

In any event, a TV actor who has no script other than that handed to him by his Washington/NATO overseers is one thing. And at the end of the day, it small potatoes compared to the grotesque negligence and misdirection of Sleepy Joe’s own keepers.

That is to say, Secy Blinkey and Snake Sullivan should be bent over the above map in earnest conversation with their Russian counterparts as to the fine points of the partition, and the meaning of “neutrality,” “de-nazification” and “demilitarization” of the green area of the map, which is to become the future “Ukraine,” if there is to be anything left at all.

Needless to say, they are not even talking to the Russians. They are, in fact, so red in tooth and claw with the blood of economic warfare that they would drive the global economy to collapse rather than acknowledge that they – and they alone – brought this horrendous situation to the doorstep of the world.”

 

The Holodomor Happened, First Reported By A Never-Credited Jewish Journalist

Posted on by

Yet another dishonest debate raging in the Unfree World, stirred up by the war in Ukraine.

The Holodomor has been politicized for decades and it is now being contested in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Those who believe that the Ukrainians support Nazi collaborators [a belief I also share although I dispute this reading of the Holodomor] are jumping on a post by a Canadian professor who says it’s an invention of the globalist/imperialist British think-tanks, including the Fabian Society and the Round Table, to which the best known reporters on the Holodomar, Gareth Jones and Malcolm Muggeridge, have connections.

Meanwhile, The New York Times has repudiated its own reporting by Pulitzer prize- winning Walter Duranty, for glossing over the famine as genocide-denial. It is true that the NY Times circulates disinformation during contemporary crises, as it is part of the Mockingbird [CIA disinformation] media.  Granted also that The Times repudiated Duranty most likely only in order to preserve its own credibility, once it became widely-known that Duranty’s propaganda was coerced by sexual blackmail by the KGB, ala Epstein. But we need not jump like Pavlovian dogs to the opposite side.

Consider which ethnicity was represented in the greatest proportion in the ranks of the notorious NKVD, the Stalinist secret police, which enforced the Red Terror:

As opposed to Eastern European nations, the Russians did not settle the score with their Stalinist past. And us, the Jews? An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name “Genrikh Yagoda,” the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU’s deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin’s collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system. After Stalin no longer viewed him favorably, Yagoda was demoted and executed, and was replaced as chief hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the “bloodthirsty dwarf.”

Yezhov was not Jewish but was blessed with an active Jewish wife. In his Book “Stalin: Court of the Red Star”, Jewish historian Sebag Montefiore writes that during the darkest period of terror, when the Communist killing machine worked in full force, Stalin was surrounded by beautiful, young Jewish women.

Stalin’s close associates and loyalists included member of the Central Committee and Politburo Lazar Kaganovich. Montefiore characterizes him as the “first Stalinist” and adds that those starving to death in Ukraine, an unparalleled tragedy in the history of human kind aside from the Nazi horrors and Mao’s terror in China, did not move Kaganovich.

Many Jews sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and have blood on their hands for eternity. We’ll mention just one more: Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD’s special department and the organization’s chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel sadist.

In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of Jewish origin. They too, of course, were gradually eliminated in the next purges. In a fascinating lecture at a Tel Aviv University convention this week, Dr. Halfin described the waves of soviet terror as a “carnival of mass murder,” “fantasy of purges”, and “Messianism of evil.” Turns out that Jews too, when they become captivated by messianic ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest known by modern history.

The Jews active in official communist terror apparatuses (In the Soviet Union and abroad) and who at times led them, did not do this, obviously, as Jews, but rather, as Stalinists, communists, and “Soviet people.” Therefore, we find it easy to ignore their origin and “play dumb”: What do we have to do with them? But let’s not forget them. My own view is different. I find it unacceptable that a person will be considered a member of the Jewish people when he does great things, but not considered part of our people when he does amazingly despicable things.”

Consider that Canada is in the US’s backyard and a lot of intelligence operations take place there out of the purview of American journalists and under the thumb of Zionist/Jewish think-tanks/institutions whose primary focus is to make sure that sacred victims stay forever sacred lest the entire globalist project unravels.

Let the Slavic world, both Ukrainian and Russian, be careful not to be provoked by outside forces, into a war of Orthodox Slav against Orthodox Slav that only destroys Christendom for a third time.

The Holodomor happened and its truth depends neither on Jones nor Muggeridge though Jones himself did not get the credit that Muggeridge did at the time:

To begin with, it was Jones’s name, more than any other, that was associated with speaking out about Stalin’s famine. True, the Manchester Guardian had broken the story one day before Gareth Jones, in three unsigned articles published on 25, 27, and 28 March 1933 under the byline “An Observer’s Notes.” (2) But by an accident of history, their author, Malcolm Muggeridge, was able to reposition himself as the sole champion of the starving, while the public record of Jones’s role languished in newspaper archives and his diaries and letters gathered dust in the family home. So there was little reason to disbelieve Muggeridge when he wrote in his 1973 memoir: “no other foreign journalist had been into the famine areas in the USSR except under official auspices and supervision, so my account was by way of being exclusive.” (3)

The truth is rather different. On 29 March 1933, Gareth Jones had turned up in Berlin, his notebooks full. He held a press conference at which he described what he had witnessed of the lethal consequences of Stalin’s Five-Year Plan. It made headlines in several U.S. papers and was reported in the British press: “Famine Grips Russia. Millions Dying. Idle on Rise, says Briton. Gareth Jones, Lloyd George Aide, Reports Devastation. Tours Farm Areas, Finds Food Gone.” (4) (One of the jobs Jones had already packed into his short career was aide to former British Prime Minister David Lloyd George.) Jones then went back to England and wrote a front-page article, the first of several under his own byline, for the Daily Express. (5) The episode should have launched Jones on a career as stellar as Muggeridge’s, but within two years he was dead–murdered by Chinese bandits in Inner Mongolia, a day short of his 30th birthday. (6)

Jones himself was preceded by another unknown journalist, which those who have resurrected Jones’ reputation and those who have vilified it both fail to even mention.

This silence suggest that the current Canadian debate is intelligence-created and intended to polarize and inflame the debate.

It does nothing for truth or peace.

To repeat, the Holodomor story was broken BEFORE Jones and Muggeridge might have appropriated it for their own end [if we grant that they did].

It was broken by Rhea Clyman an unknown Jewish journalist whom no one ever credited.

 

Rhea Clyman, a Canadian freelance journalist, was the first reporter to witness the start of the Holodomor in September 1932. In an attempt to inform her readers of how fifteen years of communism had treated the ordinary Soviet citizen, she packed up a car with provisions, supplies and gasoline and embarked on a four week long road trip through the southwestern parts of the Soviet Union. Starting from Moscow, passing through Ukraine, the Don Cossack Republic and ultimately ending in the Caucasus. As Clyman passed through the Ukrainian villages, she encountered the grim reality of collectivization:
The villages were strangely forlorn and deserted. I could not understand at first. The houses were empty, the doors flung wide open, the roofs were caving in. I felt that we were following in the wake of some hungry horde that was sweeping on ahead of us
and laying all these homes bare. In one village I thought I heard a dog barking. I wanted to go back and look, but there was something in the stoical abandon of these homes that terrified the intuition of a stranger. When we had passed ten, fifteen of
these villages I began to understand. These were the homes of those thousands of expropriated peasants?the kulaks?I had seen working in the mines and cutting timber in the North. We sped on and on, raising a thick cloud of dust in front and behind, but still those empty houses staring out with unseeing eyes raced on ahead of us.116
Clyman stopped in another village, attempting to buy some extra provisions from the peasants, but she was quickly informed that her money was useless here. The food was long gone, and the children of the village had been reduced to eating grass in order to survive: The woman explained that in this village no one had any eggs or milk to sell; the cows and chickens had been slaughtered long ago. They were all starving in the spring.
[…]
?We are good, hard-working peasants, loyal Soviet citizens, but the village Soviet has taken our land from us. We are in the collective farm, but we do not get any grain.
Everything, land, cows and horses, have been taken from us, and we have nothing to eat. Our children were eating grass in the spring….? I must have looked unbelieving at this, for a tall, gaunt woman started to take the children‘s clothes off. She undressed them one by one, prodded their sagging bellies,
116 42
pointed to their spindly legs, ran her hand up and down their tortured, mis-shapen, twisted little bodies to make me understand that this was real famine. I shut my eyes, I could not bear to look at all this horror. ?Yes,? the woman insisted, and the boy
repeated, ?they were down on all fours like animals, eating grass. There was nothing else for them.?117
After this shocking discovery Clyman vowed to herself to share the peasants‘ desperate message with the world, and expose the suffering that was caused by Stalin‘s collectivization.
However, on 27 September Clyman was arrested by the GPU in Tbilisi on the final leg of her journey, and forcibly removed from the country on charges of publishing defamatory articles about the Soviet Union. A claim that was based on her previous articles describing conditions
in Soviet prison camps in Karelia.118 Upon her return in Canada in the Autumn of 1932, she wrote a series of twenty two articles based on her experiences in Ukraine for The Toronto
Evening Telegram entitled ?Famine–Land?. Curiously enough, the paper decided to delay publication of Clymans stories until May 1933, weeks after Jones had broken the news of the
famine internationally. And despite Clymans compelling account of events, her articles had little international impact.
It remains unclear whether Jones had any knowledge of what happened to Rhea Clyman and her stories of the famine. She is never mentioned in any of his articles, diaries and notes.”

Lila: If that is not a blood and soil ideology, I don’t know what is. And it makes perfect sense to me that Zelensky, who, while he may be Jewish, is also and more fundamentally an acolyte of Klaus Schwab, a Nazi and also Jewish. That is strange only to people unwilling to confront the ideology of the West, which is surely premised, despite all the hocus-pocus about diversity and equality, on Jewish exceptionalism, given that all races and faiths can be equally criticized in public with impunity, except one. That one cannot be named, except with veneration or with reference to its sacred victimhood, the one faith that cannot be blasphemed.

Andrei Martyanov: Ukie War Crimes, West’s Ignorant Punditry, and FASHbook Lies

Posted on by

Andrei Martyanov on war crimes in Donetsk; Facebook and Meta facing reprisals in Russia; and the bloviating frauds from the Ivy League/Oxbridge circuit…or do I mean circus?….who dominate the Western media.

 

The war crime by 404 against civilians in Donetsk will not stay unsolved, by now it is known who and how gave an order to use Tochka U against civilians in Donetsk. This is the only type of the warfare combined West is capable of conducting: propaganda BS and killing civilians. I don’t know, can anyone explain to this boy what is the real war?

Jake Sullivan, the national security advisor to US President Joe Biden, has warned Russia that NATO would go “full force” if any strike is recorded on NATO territory – intentional or not – after Moscow attacked a Ukrainian military base near the Polish border. In an appearance on CBS’ ‘Face the Nation’ on Sunday, Sullivan was asked by host Margaret Brennan whether the current US policy was “that any strike into Polish territory or airspace, intentional or unintentional” would be considered an attack on NATO. “The president has been clear repeatedly that the United States will work with our allies to defend every inch of NATO territory, and that means every inch,” Sullivan responded, explaining that “if there is a military attack on NATO territory, it would cause the invocation of Article Five, and we would bring the full force of the NATO alliance to bear in responding to it.”

Can somebody also explain to this ignoramus that NATO’s “full force” militarily in terms of conventional response is primarily virtual because… well, again, he should have attended a serious military institution to get a real education, not studying the BS of political “science” and “international relations” in Yale and Oxford–stalwarts of the West’s production of ignoramuses for top political jobs in Anglo-American world. We can see results of such an “education” all over the place, including “destruction” of Vasily Bykov by ukie MLRS. Do not expect integrity and honor from those people. Same goes for tangible evidence of destruction of the ship. Don’t hold your breath–these are Western media, they lie for a living.

This, however, I think is too late for Meta.

Facebook’s parent company Meta has changed its policy guidance on tolerance to hate speech to prohibit “condoning violence” against “Russians in general” and to ban calls for the death of heads of state, Reuters reported on Monday, citing a memo posted on the company’s internal platform. The Sunday post, published by Meta’s global affairs president, Nick Clegg, and seen by Reuters, suggests that Facebook is “narrowing the focus” of its content moderation policy to make it “explicitly clear” that a previous decisions made last week should not be interpreted as “condoning violence against Russians in general.”

Too late, creeps. The policy was already in place and, as with the murder, you cannot roll it back and say that things are cool now. Doesn’t work like this. Obviously they should worry.

Russia’s Prosecutor General filed a legal complaint with the nation’s courts demanding all Meta platforms be outlawed and the company itself be designated an extremist organization in Russia over allowing hate speech against the country’s nationals. Facebook was banned in Russia even before these developments over discrimination towards state-owned and state-affiliated Russian media outlets.
