What people forget (or just don’t know) about the #Nazis’ genocidal brutality was that it wasn’t driven merely by racial hatred.

Millions were tortured and killed because of their POLITICS (not their race) — specifically, any member of the #Communist party was marked for death.
#Hitler’s Chief ideologue, Alfred Rosenberg, laid out the #Nazi program for extermination of the Soviet people before Operation Barbarossa began in 1941:

“After the victory, all of #Russia will be settled by Germans, and will become part of the Third Reich.”
“The people already there — the Russians, millions of them — will be killed.

“The first to be killed will be the #Communist party members.”
Does this ring a familiar bell?

As Lavrov said just yesterday:
Of course, the Europeans felt a bit triggered by that comparison to the #Nazis, because it struck a nerve…
Everything in this thread is covered in my latest video — tying the threads of the past to the present moment.

“I wish we could educate people so they recognize #fascism when they see it,” my co-host Rick Walker said. “Because that’s our world today!”

@RealCalebMaupin @GarlandNixon @tjmac87 The World Economic Forum has its origins in the 1934 World Economic Council.

They were fascists then, and they’re fascists now.

@RealCalebMaupin covered this hidden history today with @GarlandNixon. Listen up!

#Hitler didn’t intend to simply take #Leningrad — he intended to erase it from the face of the earth, killing all inhabitants.

Hitler’s reason was that he wanted to “destroy all remnants of their revolution.”

This is explained in Ep. 3, on #Leningrad

It’s May, 1945. #Nazi #Germany has just surrendered to the Allies.

But for the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), #WWII with #Russia never ended.

This film, produced by the “Ukrainian Galician Assembly” — is pure #Nazi propaganda but interesting indeed.

3 things to bear in mind as you watch this film:

* it was produced in 2015, post-Maidan coup.
* most likely funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars w/ Hollywood production values 💸
* made to impress Western audiences (in English language, not Ukrainian).
The elderly UPA vets brag about robbing, killing innocents, and being terrorists.

As they explain, these leftover #NazisInUkraine were merely “protecting” their Polish and Russian neighbors! 😮

But who protected the Poles, Russians, and Soviet Ukrainians from these thugs?

I do not understand why some folks who call themselves #communists are supporting the #NazisInUkraine instead of #Russia. 🇺🇦 🇷🇺

Make it make sense. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@RealCalebMaupin @tjmac87
Do these so-called communists understand that Nazis mean to kill them? Literally kill them?

Why do you think the Kiev regime has been slaughtering people of Eastern Ukraine for 8 years?

Because they’re communists, FFS!
Eastern Ukraine is still Soviet country.
When the #Nazis rolled towards #Moscow, their FIRST order of business was to seize the #Communist Party headquarters, and all trade Union buildings.

Their second order of business was to round up and kill all the #communists.

On this 80th anniversary of the turning point of #WWII — it’s a great time to watch this series.

#Leningrad #Russia #Nazis
This is the only American Cold War era documentary series I’ve ever seen that does not demonize the Soviets, or make Stalin into Lucifer.

Burt Lancaster spared no expense on research and made sure this 20-part documentary was accurate in every detail.
The footage you see here was edited from over 3.5 million feet of film taken by Soviet camera crews from the first day of the war during Operation Barbarossa on 22 June 1941 through August 1945.

Most of these films have never been seen outside this documentary series.

After his 1961 Vienna summit with Soviet premier #Khrushchev, #JFK jotted a private note to himself: 📝

“I know that there is a God and I see a storm coming. If he has a place for me I am ready.”

Kennedy and Khrushchev tried to effect peace between America and #Russia. 🇺🇸🤝🇷🇺
I recently interviewed historian Jim DiEugenio (author of the new Oliver Stone documentary & book “#JFK Revisited” about Kennedy and Khrushchev’s efforts to end the #ColdWar.

This pursuit of peace likely led to both leaders’ removal from power.

In his memoirs, #Khrushchev wrote how #JFK earned his respect:

“In the final analysis, Kennedy showed himself to be sober-minded and determined to avoid war. He didn’t let himself become frightened, nor did he become reckless. He didn’t overestimate America’s might.”

If you think President #Biden’s curmudgeonly anger is due to aging, you’d be wrong. 😤

Biden was always an angry man.

Remember his hot-under-the-collar announcement when he quit the 1988 presidential campaign over a scandal? I do…
His lying isn’t caused by age, either.

Joe Biden has always been a pernicious liar 🤥…
