Putin is Stalin, both Equal Another Ukraine Holodomor

Posted on April 21, 2014April 21, 2014 by Denise Simon

While VP Biden flew to Kiev today to show shallow solidarity with Ukraine, one must know that Kiev is the birthplace of the former Soviet Union, the keys to the kingdom of history, which is ripe for a re-birth.

Ukraine has a very nasty history and in recent decades has worked to find itself among a true democratic nation, learning to finds it’s way in the modern era. Putin is following the Stalin doctrine and is blocking Ukraine/Crimea from further advancements.

It begins with famine, disease, genocide and death, lots of death where Jews were no exception. Recently, the agenda for all Jews to register and pay a tax or leave the country, of which some leadership in the world is calling disgusting, it proves a multi-track mission that is a carbon copy of the KGB/FSB under Stalin.

A holocaust survivor sees this clearly and has spoken out to the Jews in the region to get out now. How can this be in this time, where historically, all lessons were learned and trials and documents have proven the history, but yet never seems to be written or taught?

What can Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton or John Kerry know and what have they ignored as they dither on the policy with Russia, Ukraine, Crimea or any of the other Baltic States? They know and they ignore, as there are too many staffers and historians in the administration that provide context and facts. Additionally, all administrations have deep ties to academia where professors on all sides of arguments and debate deliver research, white papers, documents and thesis on all parts of the globe, so currently the matter of Russia, Ukraine, Crimea and more historical content has been dusted off as recently as 2009 when the real Russia goal of annexing additional nations is the sole quest of Putin.

The question of Holodomor must be reviewed as a window of what may come soon in that region. After some digging, this University of Chicago professor knows the history and created an assignment for his students and other assigned professors. Within this assignment, there are facts that are not disputed.

“One of the universal lessons of the Holocaust is that national,

ethnic, racial, or religious hatred can overtake any nation or society,

leading to calamitous consequences. To reinforce that lesson, such

curriculum shall include an additional unit of instruction studying

other acts of genocide across the globe. This unit shall include, but

not be limited to, the Armenian Genocide, the Famine-Genocide in

Ukraine, and more recent atrocities in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda,

and Sudan.”

Holodomor means “death by starvation.”

Although we will never know the exact number

who died in Ukraine during this period, the Ukrainian government today estimates that, taking into

account data related to the demographic consequences of the famine, “Ukrainian losses resulting

from the famine of 1932-1933 total no fewer than ten million people”. This campaign, purposefully

orchestrated by Joseph Stalin and his Soviet cohorts, included summary executions for hoarding

grain and deportations for resistance*.

Why is the Holodomor Unknown?

There are two reasons: The Soviet Union never

admitted its existence and many correspondents in the West, primarily Walter Duranty of the New

York Times, were complicit in covering it up.

What are the Implications of the Holdomor in Today’s Geopolitical World?

The Soviet genocide against the Ukrainian people was part of a centuries-old pattern of behavior by

Moscow’s rulers. The Soviets were following in the footsteps of their Czarist predecessors who

denied the existence of a separate Ukrainian nation. The return of Russian chauvinism under

President/Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, the rehabilitation of Stalin in today’s Russia, the questioning

of Ukraine’s right to exist as an independent nation by many Russians, as well as the continued

denial of the Holodomor/Genocide by Russian governmental officials, are troubling developments,

not only for Ukrainians but for all freedom-loving people throughout the world. ***

The purpose of this curriculum guide for educators is to acquaint them with this tragedy.

Myron B. Kuropas, Ph.D.

It should be noted here that Walter Duranty worked for the New York Times and was a paid agent of the KGB. Not to be overlooked, the KGB created the PLO, Black Liberation Theology and sought to defeat the Vatican.

During the winter of 1932-33, some ten million Ukrainians living in the Union of Soviet

Socialist Republics (USSR) died of forced starvation. They perished during a Genocide

Famine (hereafter referred to as the “Holodomor”, the current Ukrainian term used to identify

the calamity) engineered by the Soviet government which had three major objectives in that

part of its expanding empire:

1. To annihilate a significant portion of that segment of the Ukrainian population which had

most vociferously and openly resisted increasingly oppressive Soviet rule.

2. To terrorize the surviving Ukrainian population into submission to Soviet totalitarian

domination.

3. To provide funds for Soviet industrial expansion from the sale of expropriated Ukrainian

wheat and other foodstuffs to the rest of the world.

Just as the Jewish Holocaust is not simply a “Jewish issue”, the Holodomor in Ukraine is not

simply a “Ukrainian issue”. Both genocides have universal implications. The Holocaust is an

example of genocide perpetrated by an overtly racist, fascist regime which had as its

avowed purpose the annihilation of the Jewish people. The Ukrainian Holodomor is an

example of genocide perpetrated by a Communist regime which, while calling itself

internationalist, was contaminated by Russian chauvinism. For Russian Bolsheviks,

Ukrainian ethno-cultural self-assertion was a threat to both the primacy of Russian culture in

Soviet affairs, and to the centralization of all authority in the hands of Soviet dictator Joseph

Stalin.

Although the Holodomor in Ukraine is one of the greatest crimes ever perpetrated against a

single nation in the 20th century, the West is hardly aware of it ever having taken place. This

is so for four reasons:

1) consistent denial by Soviet officials;

2) conscious cover-up by influential Western correspondents reporting from Moscow;

3) a dearth of information about the Soviet Union’s crimes within its own borders, crimes that

since the collapse of the Soviet Union appear to be fading from public consciousness, both

here and abroad;

4) an information vacuum regarding Ukraine and its people among American academics, the

mass media, and the general public where the prevailing view was that Ukrainians were

Russians who spoke a Russian dialect. Even though Ukraine has been an independent

nation-state since 1991, this perception, still promoted by many Russian intellectuals,

remains an accepted fact in many American circles.

This professor’s document is here to be read, it is filled with indisputable citations and quotes from those where were there.

So we now know this administration’s policy on Russia with regard to Ukraine and Baltic States is feckless and most of all deadly.

NYT says FBI at Fault due to Failed Russian Cooperation

Posted on April 9, 2014April 9, 2014 by Denise Simon

When it comes to the Boston bombers investigation, the New York Times released a piece today stating that the FBI could not do more in depth investigation as the Russians would not cooperate with full details.

Frankly, as the case is spelled out by the NYT the text leads to more invasive tools rather than effectively bypassing political correctness for the sake of checks and balances between the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security.

All kinds of agencies were tapped for the investigation into the Tsarneav family yet, no one within any part of the real investigation did real analysis and tracked back to the family getting false asylum/refugee status much less police reports or school records or social welfare programs or used fusion center data.

No one bothered to check all variations of spelling in databases, no one checked travel documents no one checked expired visas. When anyone comes to the United States under duress conditions and seeks asylum or refugee status, they cannot travel back to the country from which they fled for obvious reasons, so how did the parents of the brothers or Tamerlin get to travel back in the first place?

The typical narrative of the Department of Homeland Security is to defer to ‘homegrown terrorists’. Such is the case in the NYT article with this quote, “At this point it looks like they were homegrown violent extremists,” the senior official said. “We certainly aren’t in a position to rule anything out, but at this point we haven’t found anything substantive that ties them to a terrorist group.”

Across agencies, there is technology that is available but who is really has the skill set to exploit the technology for the sake of keeping the homeland safe?

Check this quote, ‘The report was produced by the inspector general for the Office of Intelligence Community, which has responsibility for 17 separate agencies, and the inspectors general from the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and the Central Intelligence Agency. It has not been made public, but members of Congress are scheduled to be briefed on it Thursday, and some of its findings are expected to be released before Tuesday, the first anniversary of the bombings.’

As for blaming the Russians, this is how the New York Times lays it out. ‘Russian officials had told the F.B.I. in 2011 that the suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, “was a follower of radical Islam and a strong believer” and that Mr. Tsarnaev “had changed drastically since 2010 as he prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country’s region to join unspecified underground groups.” Okay, well if political correctness was set aside and the FBI did not have to be so sensitive to Islam/Muslims then, real hands on agents would have been more aggressive and assertive with clues and tracking. Well my guess most of the agent hang out at the Dar al Hijrah mosque anyway.

Well there are countless outside groups that have proof of the domestic threats posed to our homeland by those just like Tamerlan and his family, we just had one such Moroccan that was arrested last Monday.

Okay, read the NYT piece for yourself, clearly they are giving a pass to all agency personnel. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/10/us/russia-failed-to-share-details-on-boston-marathon-bombing-suspect.html

Muslim Brotherhood, an FTO

Posted on April 3, 2014April 3, 2014 by Denise Simon

Mohammed Morsi was removed from office in Egypt by the Egyptian military due to his tyrannical and deadly regime which is the doctrine of the Muslim Brotherhood, of which he is a charter member. Only recently, Saudi Arabia has in addition to Egypt declared the Muslim Brotherhood to be a foreign terror organization. In addition to the Muslim Brotherhood, Saudi also declared Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic State of Iraq and al Nusra as has Bahrain and the UAE. It must be noted that Turkey and Qatar have refused to follow suit.

A turn must be made now to see just what Britain is doing regarding the Muslim Brotherhood. The UK has seen over the many years a major spike of Islamic movement and the troubles are mounting especially in England. Fighters have been trained and sent from the UK to Iraq and Syria and then often return to Britain trained in Islamic jihad and it is playing out in the streets of London as we saw with the murder of Lee Rigby. Prime Minister Cameron, of Britain has officially ordered an investigation into the Muslim Brotherhood and it is long overdue. The question remains, how honest and revealing will be the results of this investigation and to what potential and additional radical fallout?

Okay, so we have a handful of countries that are finally taking a proactive posture to address Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood, but what about Barack Obama and the United States? Well, CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood is firmly planted in federal government and within our education institutions as well as the FBI and law enforcement.

Let’s go deeper. CAIR is trying hard to stop a documentary showing in various locations around America titled Honor Diaries. See www.honordiaries.com for more information. But, while al Jazeera, funded by the Muslim Brotherhood is now broadcasting in America, there are even a handful of members of Congress that are in full cadence with the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR. CAIR is working diligently to stop this documentary from airing anywhere in America and with some success.

But how stupid can people really be to ignore the results of the Holyland Foundation Trial, how they ignore Anwar al Walaki who was a supporter of al Qaeda that went through the ranks of several mosques in America most of all Dar al Hijrah in Virginia. Sadly we have a Virginia legislator, Alfonso Lopez, a democratic candidate for Congress that is angered by any vocal opposing views of Dar al Hijrah such that he is on the offensive. Read more here.

There is much behind the actions, the publications and the contents of the prayers at Dar al Hijrah and many other like mosques located in Atlanta, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, Dallas and on the West Coast.

But given the political correctness of the Obama administration and that of the State Department, which was in fact born from previous administrations but taken to new levels since 2008, it seems America will not assume the same objectives of Saudi, UAE, Bahrain or even Great Britain. Maybe a petition is in order posted on the White House website is in order to declare CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood to be a foreign terror organization.

Now, while there is a global reach of al Jazeera, it seems Hamas is getting bolder as they are launching too a satellite television station. Hamas is joining the ranks of social media tool users to convey messages serving the Palestinian causes.

Remember it is the Palestinians that are historically bent on removing all Jews from Israel to reclaim the land and they have been attacking Israel in various forms for many years. Currently, the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has been working both sides of Israel and the Palestinians to come to a peace agreement, where it was announced this week that after more than a year of talks, once again, all parties left the negotiating table last week.

Oh, one more thing, the Russian KGB established the PLO, the Palestinian Liberation Organization in 1964. More than 400 Palestinian representatives were hand chosen by the KGB. More background can be found here.

In summary, come on America, first learn all of the history and facts and then begin to expose and fight back. Sharia law cannot co-exist with our Constitution.

Putin in the Red Zone, WH and NATO in Lockeroom

Posted on March 31, 2014March 31, 2014 by Denise Simon

While Vladimir Putin is moving to Federalize Crimea and Ukraine, the Baltic States are not getting any support from NATO as Article 5 (an attack on one is an attack on others) is but a quiet whisper. The United States has an agreement with Ukraine titled the Budapest Memorandum. This is a handshake that the United States will come to the aid of Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up their nuclear weapons which they did, gave them up to Russia. But while eyes are on Russian forces at Ukraine’s border with Russia, many other Baltic States are in deep worry as to what comes next. John Kerry met with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov for four hours on March 31 in Paris to work out the next moves of each while Kerry required Russia to move their troops. Russia has refused, yet there was some troop movement where some take this as a sign to calm tensions. It needs to be known however, such is not the case.

Russia is performing military drills at the border of Finland.

Finland Frets as Russia Launches Military Drills on Its Doorstep

According to Dr. Jonathan Eyal, international director at London’s Royal United Services Institute think tank, there is “no question” that these exercises show that Russia is testing its power in the region, which was reshaped by the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

“In pure capability terms, the Russians are preparing an operation,” Eyal said. “The question is: Is there an actual military threat? I do not think there will be.”

Eyal said that while Russia’s annexation of Crimea has put a spotlight on its foreign policy, tension with Finland and Sweden is not new. This was shown as recently as last year when Russian jets flew toward Swedish airspace, causing Stockholm to scramble its air force, he said.

But he said that Scandinavia and the Baltic states have sensed renewed danger in recent days because “Putin is an opportunist, and if the opportunity arises he will pick up on it.”

Andrew Kutchins, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the proximity of the drills had made the alarm most palpable in Finland.

“The people of Helsinki are nervous,” he said. “What Putin is doing is sending shock waves through Europe.” However, Kutchins added that the likelihood of immediate military action appeared “very far-fetched.”

This anxiety was heightened Sunday after one of Putin’s closest former advisers told the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet that the Kremlin would seek “historical justice” by reclaiming Finland and ex-Soviet countries as part of an enlarged Russian Federation.

“Putin’s view is that he protects what belongs to him and his predecessors,” wrote Andrei Illarionov, according to a translation by the Moscow Times.

“Parts of Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic states and Finland are states where Putin claims to have ownership,” said Illarionov, who is now a senior fellow at the Washington, D.C.,-based Cato Institute.

Illarionov, who was chief economic adviser to Putin until 2005 and is described by the Moscow Times as an outspoken Kremlin critic, said Putin could argue the Communist revolution of 1917 was a “treason against national interests.”

“It is not on Putin’s agenda today or tomorrow,” Illarionov added. “But if Putin is not stopped, the issue will be brought sooner or later.”

“Finland isn’t Ukraine”

The reason experts think Finland is more secure than Ukraine is that although neither are members of NATO, the former is more protected by its European Union membership.

“Finland isn’t Ukraine,” said Oliver Bullough, commentator and author of “Last Man In Russia.” “It might not be a NATO member but it is in the European Union and you can bet that if Russia were to start invading members of the E.U., the E.U. would have something to say about it.”

Bullough said the Russians had a “grudging respect” for the Finns because of the way they resisted Moscow’s Red Army during World War II. Apart from Britain and the Soviet Union, Finland was the only European nation involved in the war to avert a foreign occupation.

Research consultant Kathleen McInnis pointed out that Finland is connected to NATO in that it has taken part in NATO-led actions, including Kosovo and Afghanistan.

“Recently there has been discussion in Finland about joining NATO, but opinion remains in favor of a defense partnership with Sweden,” said McInnis, who is based at the London-based think tank Chatham House.

Add to that Finland’s recent agreement to start discussions with Sweden over a defense partnership, and an incursion by Moscow looks less likely.

Perhaps the key difference between Finland and Ukraine is that Putin does not have a tangible excuse with which to exercise the Kremlin’s influence abroad.

In the swift annexation of Crimea, he spoke of the need to protect ethnic Russians living in the peninsula from what he called the illegitimate fascist regime in Kiev.

But Eyal said that it is wrong to assume Russia’s only option is a brute-force invasion.

“Russia could put pressure on Scandinavia not to come to the aid of the three Baltic states [Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania], which do have Russian ethnic minorities,” he said. “Or they could warn in advance for Finland and Sweden not to join NATO. It’s a key foreign policy for Russia to prevent NATO’s enlargement.”

Albina Kovalyova reported from Moscow. Alexander Smith and Alastair Jamieson reported from London.

So what is being said about Finland?

One of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest ex-advisers has claimed that the ex-KGB agent ultimately wants to reclaim Finland for Russia.

Andrej Illiaronov, Putin’s economic adviser between 2000 and 2005 and now senior member of the Cato Institute think tank, said that “parts of Georgia, Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic States and Finland are states where Putin claims to have ownership.”

“Putin’s view is that he protects what belongs to him and his predecessors,” he said.

When asked if Putin wishes to return to the Russia of the last tsar, Nicholas II, Illiaronov said: “Yes, if it becomes possible.”

Illiaronov admits that Finland is not Putin’s primary concern at present but, if not stopped in other areas of Eastern Europe, the issue will one day arise. Russian troops are currently massing on the eastern border of Ukraine, following Russia’s recent annexation of Crimea.

“Putin said several times that the Bolsheviks and Communists made big mistakes. He could well say that the Bolsheviks in 1917 committed treason against Russian national interests by providing Finland’s independence,” Illiaronov told a Swedish news website.

He believes that Putin is not planning to invade Ukraine for territorial gain but rather “the goal is a pro-Russian puppet government in Kiev.”

“Six years ago Putin conquered Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Georgia. The west let him do it with impunity, and now he has got Crimea,” he continued.

“Now, eastern and southern Ukraine is destablised so that the self-defence forces can take power there. If the situation allows, it may be a military invasion.”

Finland was a part of the Russian Empire for 108 years but broke away in 1917 at the end of the first world war.

The Scandinavian nation was attacked at the beginning of the second world war by the Soviet Union, with Finland fighting the winter war and the continuation war in resistance and losing 10% of its pre-war territory.

Finland is not a member of Nato, so any invasion of its land would not constitute an attack against all members under Article 5 of Nato’s founding Washington Treaty.
