The #NazisInUkraine have been trained, armed, and funded by the CIA since the 1940s as an anti-#communist guerilla terrorist militia. They are the Mujahideen of #Ukraine.
As you might recall, the CIA's creation of the Mujahideen to fight commies didn't work out so well for us.
Here's how the CIA created the same kind of terror cell in Ukraine -- a Frankenstein monster that pre-dated the Mujahideen by 30 years and led us to the present #RussiaUkraineWar :
The origins of #NazisInUkraine began with the “Germanization” of the Ukrainian population — with a special emphasis on children — during the #Nazi occupation of #Ukraine in WWII.
More on how the Ukrainians were “Germanized” by #Nazis in a radical re-education campaign and transformation of society.
“Himmler placed himself at the forefront of ‘Blood and Soil” social engineering in what was to be a new, thoroughly “Germanized” land.
This documentary, produced by Ukrainian nationalists, tells the story of how and why the OUN-B emerged in the decade before #WWII.
The film is propaganda, but interesting nonetheless if you strive to understand both points of view in this 100-year war.
Anyone else notice at 16 minutes in, the image of a 1938 cable from the “Ukrainian Bureau” of London?
Hmmm… was British intelligence working with these OUN-B Ukrainian nationalists prior to the outbreak of #WWII? 🧐
Would make a lot of sense, actually.
These Ukrainian nationalist propaganda films are almost hilarious in their revisionism.
Notice how they gloss right over their collaboration with #Nazi Germany and weave a narrative of how they lived in total peace and harmony with their Jewish population… 🤥
In this vintage 3-hour interview with historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., Special Assistant to #JFK, he makes clear that President Kennedy intended to end US involvement in the #VietnamWar
after winning re-election in 1964.
(Skip to around 17:00) 👇🏽
Schlesinger goes into more detail on Kennedy and Vietnam around 56:00 when a caller asks him to elaborate further.
Thank heavens for @cspan. In the 80s and 90s, before podcasting was a thing, this was the only place to see an in-depth, longform 3 hour interview like this one. 👏🏼
Eugenics and race played significant roles in Ukrainian interwar nationalism, yet remain largely unstudied.
The Ukrainian nationalists’ understanding of the racial makeup of their imagined community was contradictory as they struggled to reconcile their desire for racial purity
If you are a SNAP recipient, you probably got an email like this recently advising that Congress has decided you don’t really need the extra $60/month in food stamps — because we must send more money and weapons to #Ukraine.
