The CIA’s Allen Dulles personally recruited Mykola Lebed, a top aide to Stepan Bandera, the leader of the fascist OUN-B, after #WWII, according to a 2010 study by the U.S. National Archives.

Even before the war was over, OSS were recruiting top #NazisInUkraine as spies…
The CIA set him up in an office in New York City from which he directed sabotage and propaganda operations on the agency’s behalf inside #Ukraine against the Soviet Union. 

The 2010 U.S. government study says:
John Loftus was the #Nazi hunter who found Lebed living in NY and was trying to prosecute him in the 80’s & 90’s, but was stonewalled at every turn by the CIA.

This 1992 NY Times article explains :

nytimes.com/1992/09/17/us/…
This Declassified CIA Internal memo details how the Agency would respond to the above article in the New York Times:

“No comment.” 🤐 Image
Although the memo was declassified under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act in 2004, parts of it are still redacted.

The US Attorney General personally approved the immigration of Mykola Lebed.

Arguably the highest-ranking Nazi war criminal ever to enter the US, Lebed was the head of the SB, the Ukrainian version of the Gestapo, and one of the top 20 war criminals wanted by the Soviet Union.
In the updated author’s foreword to his book “America’s Nazi Secret,” John Loftus wrote about how the New York Times knew about Lebed and protected him.

“In return for scoops, the Times washes the dirty laundry of the intelligence community. They all know how to scrub a story." Image
The Justice Department knew all about Lebed, too — and had no interest in prosecuting him.

Loftus continues: Image
Image
Instead of banning Nazi immigrations, DOJ said the law legalized the immigration of former Nazis as long as they did not try to establish a Fourth Reich in America. Worse, that twisted interpretation was deployed to obstruct the DoJ’s Nazi hunters three decades later. Image
After FDR’s death, all efforts to prosecute Nazi war criminals and war profiteers practically ceased in the United States, Loftus wrote. Image
There was a time, not all that long ago, when even CNN told the truth about the CIA’s use of Ukranian #Nazi war criminals like Mykola Lebed, such as this article from 2021: Image
But then, the #UkraineRussianWar began a year ago this month — and the mainstream media suddenly developed amnesia about the #NazisInUkraine.

Here’s the full article from 2021, which hasn’t been memory-holed yet. Read it before it disappears!

In 1985, the Justice Department pawned this Ukrainian mass murderer off to Congress as an innocent leader of the Anti-Nazi resistance.

Almost everything the Justice Department has ever told Congress about Nazis in America has been a conscious and deliberate lie.
“The hunt for Nazi war criminals has been a mere public relations effort to placate Jews and WWII veterans,” Lebed’s nemesis John Loftus wrote in his book “America’s Nazi Secrets” — and sadly, he turned out to be right.
When John Loftus published his first book exposing the CIA’s dirty work with #NazisInUkraine such as Lebed, a CIA-funded propaganda newspaper The Ukranian Weekly published this forceful denial of his charges in the Nov. 28, 1982 edition. They were lying.

ukrweekly.com/archive/pdf2/1…
In that same issue of Ukrainian Weekly, we see CIA propagandist Mykola Lebed himself as a featured speaker at a conference dedicated to rewriting the history of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army’s #Nazi collaboration in #WWII.
(Pictured 2nd from left) Image
The personal papers of Mykola Lebed were consulted for this 2022 paper published by the University of Vermont about the Ukranian nationalist movement, their #Nazi collaboration, and later, their collaboration with US and British intelligence.

On February 22, 1972 the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine hijacked Lufthansa flight 649, demanding a $5 million ransom for the release of 192 onboard.

The skyjackers also had a celebrity hostage: 19 year-old Joseph Kennedy, son of #RFK — their human bargaining chip. Image
Young Kennedy had been touring India with his uncle and aunt, Senator and Mrs. Edward M. Kennedy.

The Senator's wife, Joan, had accompanied Joseph to New Delhi while her husband returned to the United States, but left India ahead of her nephew.

Joe boarded the plane alone.
The PFLP hijackers seized the plane about an hour after it took off from New Delhi, around 1 a.m.

Bombay air control authorities said they received this message from the plane: “Call us victorious Jidda. If you call us Lufthansa, we won't answer you.” ✈️

When he was arrested after the #RFK assassination, one of Sirhan’s appellate lawyers says there was a newspaper clipping in Sirhan’s pocket that discussed the incongruity of Kennedy’s advocacy for the oppressed while also supporting Israel over Palestine. bentley.umich.edu/news-events/ma…
Sirhan’s friend and appellate attorney says he cannot be certain there was not some sort of conspiracy, but has little doubt Sirhan shot Kennedy. “Sirhan never said there was somebody else,” Jabara insists.

The official motive for Sirhan’s murder of #RFK was “anti-#Zionism.” Image
Sirhan blamed his murderous rage on trauma he had suffered as a child in Palestine.

At age 4 he witnessed the bombing of Damascus Gate, the death of his older brother, a man disemboweled by a bomb and the family was forced to relocate after Israel was created in 1948.

Nazi Germany waged an extensive propaganda campaign to spread Nazi ideology in the Arab world.

University of Maryland Prof. Jeffrey Herf and American University Prof. Richard Breitman discuss how Nazi ideology still lingers in the 21st Century.

Prof. Breitman served as director of historical research for the Nazi War Criminal Records Interagency Working Group, which helped to bring about declassification of more than eight million pages of U.S. government records under the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act.
If some of these talking points sound familiar today, now you know where they originated…

According to an April 25, 1966 Tom Wicker article in the New York Times (“CIA: Maker of Policy, or Tool?), President #Kennedy vowed privately to an aide after the Bay of Pigs incident in Cuba, that he would “splinter the CIA in 1000 pieces and scatter it to the winds.”
#JFK didn’t complete his mission to fully destroy the CIA (some believe the Agency got him first) — but here’s what he DID do.

In June 1961, two months after the Bay of Pigs — he issued National Security Action Memos (NSAM) 55 and 57.

history.state.gov/historicaldocu…
NSAM 55 called for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, not the CIA, to be his primary military advisors.

NSAM 57 declared “any large paramilitary operation wholly or partly covert… is properly the primary responsibility of the Department of Defense with the CIA in a supporting role.”

CIA chief visiting with both Mossad and Hamas this week.

Let that sink in… 🤨 axios.com/2023/11/05/cia…
What if the CIA wasn’t merely “tracking” Hamas’ plan to attack Israel a month ago today, but actively encouraging the attack?

Why no action taken on the prior warnings?

Just a reminder that… 👇🏻 Image

#RFKJr grew up in a family that strongly supported #Israel. He says he was “shocked” when his kids came home from college with views of Israel as an evil, apartheid state.

No matter what side you take, I hope you’ll listen to RFK argue his position.

It is important to understand the history of why generations of Democrats (and Republicans) have supported Israel.

It all started in 1944, when both parties adopted planks in their platforms advocating for a Jewish state in Palestine.

A fascinating story that Benjamin Netanyahu’s father played a key role in. Read this thread 🧵…
#RFKJr’s views on Israel were largely shaped by his father, who instilled those values in him as a child.

Then came 1968.

Imagine believing that a Palestinian murdered your dad… only to have your mind changed after 45 years. I tell that story here.👇🏻
