No biggie: the Ukrainian Canadian Congress—a powerful lobby group driven by a nationalist-fascist ideology—celebrates Ukrainian Nazis who served in the Waffen-SS Galizien Division.

Naturally, Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland (who has a Nazi grandpa in the family closet) love the Ukrainian Canadian Congress. As @DanBoeckner points out, the UCC has huge power in shaping Canada’s foreign policy. And they sure love their post-Maidan fascists! Image
@TarikCyrilAmar What makes it even more exciting is that this same Ukrainian fascist appreciation club enjoys the patronage of the American Empire.
@DanBoeckner PS: If you want the history of Ukrainian participation in the Waffen-SS and attempts by the Ukrainian diaspora to turn it into a story of courageous resistance, read this by Per Anders Rudling:

@DanBoeckner Russian propaganda is not always wrong:

@DanBoeckner Oops. Nazi grandpa in Freeland’s family closet:

@DanBoeckner Rehabbed fascists dominate Ukrainian political life in Canada:

@DanBoeckner Check this out: Chancellor of the University of Alberta was an actual Nazi — a Waffen-SS goon who had pledged loyalty to Hitler and called it “multiculturalism.”

Canada — where’s the happy, progressive land of maple leaves that Michael Moore told us about? Image

This is bigger than just a few SS sociopaths living comfortable lives in the west…it’s about a long-running strategy by the United States (with Canada helping on the side) to rescue and rehabilitate nationalist and fascist movements and to weaponize them for imperial aims.
This approach — using nationalist movements abroad while supporting nationalist immigrant communities here at home — has been a major plank of U.S. foreign policy going back to the very end of World War II.
This support for nationalist/separatist movements and the immigrant communities that produce them has always been selective. The brain bugs of this empire of ours aren’t universalists. They care only when it intersects with their own aims...

vint cerf talks about inventing the internet and all he can talk about is military applications. a reminder that the internet at root was/is a military technology. democracy something something twitter something something.

a lot of the people mining musk's twitter files want you to think that the libs corrupted the internet, which is another way of repeating the central bullshit myth at the heart of our society's story about the internet: that it was originally pure and democratic but was corrupted
the real story is that the internet was created to strengthen the power of america’s cold war bureaucracy. so it’s not surprising that surveillance and influence dominate all aspects of the internet today —  influence and political control were why it was built.

I'm back on my Surveillance Valley bullshit again.

Does anyone still think that Silicon Valley is different from all the other oligarchic corporate clusters running our society?
In fact, given the specific origins of the Internet, I’d argue the link between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon is stronger and deeper that any of the other industries.

Reminder: This country doesn't have a single museum documenting the genocide of Native Americans.
As cynical as I am, I I’m still shocked by this largely overlooked fact.

It's funny, I think Los Angeles has two Holocausts museums. Not a single one as far as I know to the genocide of California Indian tribes — people who actually lived on that land.

I have a new post up: the U.S. government is involved in putting on a far-right, Holocaust revisionist exhibit in the heart of Kiev.

yasha.substack.com/p/america-spon…
Why is a major federal agency funded by Congress helping push this revisionist Nazi bile on the Ukrainian people?

Hint: @RFERL (spun off from the CIA and formerly known as "Radio Liberation from Bolshevism") is involved.
