Canada's 'Nazi scandal' has been sitting in plain sight for decades. In 2010, the #Ukrainian Canadian Congress tried do draw a big equals sign between soldiers and others killed fighting the Nazis, and Ukrainian #Nazi collaborators who killed them. #Hunka

The 'First Division of the Ukrainian National Army' referred to above is the 14th #WaffenSS #Galizien Division. Below is their commanding officer, Friz Freitag. Fritz kept a diary, reducing his mass murder to such banalities as "114 prisoners taken, 283 Jews shot." Image
The Canadian state in the 1940s and 50s WANTED #Nazis, to go after #socialists in the working class. Upon arrival, that's just what the Nazis did. They attacked workers meetings across the country. On October 8th, 1950 they bombed Toronto's #Ukrainian Labour Temple .

The #RCMP dropped SS membership as a barrier to entry to Canada in 1951 - AFTER the #WaffenSS members bombed the Labour Temple. Why? Canadian state #anticommunism. The file on the case is still secret, and the suspects went on to successful careers. #Hunka is not unique. Image
Canada's 1948 Standing Committee on Immigration and Labour made explicit the desire of the Canadian state for #anticommunist immigrants. Senator Thomas Crerar: "the displaced persons who come to Canada are exercising a very healthy anti-communistic influence.” #Hunka Senate of Canada. King's Printer For Canada. Proceedings of the Standing Committee on Immigration and Labour. 29th January and 4th February, 1948.

Today I’m going to begin to describe how the Organization of #Ukrainian Nationalists, (#OUN) progressed from publishing antisemitic articles in its theoretical journal, Rozbudova Natsii (Building the Nation) to genocidal incitement, from 1928 (left image) to 1941 (right image).
Rozbudova Natsii, #4, 1928. (author’s comments in bracketed text) Contents 1. D. Andrievsky – Steps towards construction 2. Jacquito Trezziono – a (sympathetic) Philosophical Political Assessment of Fascism 3. Mykola Stsiborskyi – Echo 4. Dr. Volodymyr Galan – How to understand Americanization 5. I. Stobar – The Imponderable (an argument against rationalism) 6. E. Konovalets – For a history of the Ukrainian Sich Rifleman in the Ukrainian Revolution 7. Official Notifications 8. Official Business of the OUN Chronicles (of Ukrainians) 9. Ukrainians in the USSR 10. Under Polish rule 11. ...
Lviv, June July 1941. Ukrainian People! --Until now, we have been operating underground. There we prepared for the harvest and repelled the attacks of the enemy who wanted to destroy us and You. Now we ascend. We are starting the armed struggle. The Moscow prison of peoples -- the USSR is collapsing. The leadership of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists announced on all Ukrainian lands the INDEPENDENT UKRAINIAN STATE. But this Independence must be defended in battles. By order of Stepan Bandera, on the order of the Regional Command of the OUN, the first columns of fighters - sol...
How was the #Holocaust in #Ukraine ideologically prepared? How did demands for an 'independent' Ukrainian state lead to its destruction by German #imperialism? Due to the large body of evidence, we will divide our exposé. Here we deal with the period 1928 to Spring 1933.
Rozbudova Natsii Masthead, 1928, #1.
Ukrainian Nationalists welcome Nazi military parade. The banner reads, "Slava Bandera" in Ukrainian, and "Cheers to the German Volk... "
The OUN had been preparing itself ideologically to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing in Ukraine since 1928. These preparations began in the first issue of R.N. which came out openly against democracy, against the Soviet Union and socialism. Our Position. 1928 #1. He criticizes the older nationalist generation "These are the remnants of either underground political work under the burden of the Tsarist regime, or the remnants of the socialist and democratic psychosis that gripped Europe in the 19th century, or the offspring of the parliamentary system of the former Austrian Empire, or the result of the hypnosis of the Moscow-Tatar satrapy, which occupied one sixth of the globe , and the red imperialism of Moscow, which is competing for mastery over the whole world. All our existing ideologies and allegiances have their ro...

1941. Ukrainian nationalists under Stepan Bandera with Nazi support, organized expedition groups which followed the advance into the USSR. Instructions were contained in a document, 'Struggle and Activities of OUN During Wartime.' The document contains explicit genocidal orders.
To subvert the natural aversion workers have to murdering each other, the OUN had produced constant racist incitement in its journal, Rozbudova Natsii, since 1929. But a sense of hopelessness was also cultivated. The new document attacked workers' hopes for socialist revolution.
Tragically, the political degeneration of the revolution under the Stalinist bureaucracy had opened up the ideological space for OUN's propaganda, which exploited the social division which had opened up in real life between the parasitic bureaucratic caste and the working class.

#Canada imported thousands of #Nazi collaborators and far-right nationalists after WWII as part of a conscious policy, worked out with industrial capital, to smash the organizations of the working class. The #mining industry in particular worked to crush #socialist influence. Image
In order to grow the economy after WWII, Canadian capital needed to re-open the country to mass immigration to grow the absolute size of the labour force, the source of all value creation. But what kind of new immigrants would be preferred? Toronto Star, March 18th, 1...
"There's one man in the group of recent arrivals who threatened to crack heads when the Communist line is expounded..." Anti-communist workers were preferred because they were subordinate to capital, could be manipulated using religion and nationalism, and would accept lower pay. Globe and Mail, Feb 23, 1948

As some of us celebrate the #Soviet victory over Nazism, let us remember the filthy role of the Canadian state, before, during and after #WWII. Prime Minister King, a vicious anti-Semite, was the most pro-appeasement leader in the British Empire, and was fond of Hitler Image
The Canadian state's interest in WWII was to use the war to whip up #nationalism and stamp out #socialist organizing at home, and to defend British #imperialism abroad. The Canadian state was happy to take on a founder of the Nazi Party, Otto #Strasser, as a political advisor. Image
Strasser's plan was to stage a #coup, so that the #Allies could cut a deal with the 'good Nazis.' But Strasser was a fraud, and only reluctantly, when no 'good Nazis' could be found to cut a deal with, did the Allies invade. The cream of the Nazi army was defeated by the #Soviets Image

An upcoming conference in Washington DC on April 25th and 26th puts paid to all the phony claims which American imperialism has put forward about #NATO's war aims in Russia. The conference posits building no less than 41! 'post-Russian' petty states! 1/7

Good morning Twitter! I'm back! Profile and DMs are fully restored. Now to share with you the images that seem to have got be banned (when Tweeted in a thread including a right wing Ukrainian journalist at the Kiev Post who had blocked me for tweeting our wsws article on Ukraine)
The jorno took offence to my characterization of Ukrainian nationalism as being dependent upon world #imperialism. But facts are facts. Here's a primary source - from the WWII report of the Vice US Consul to #Poland about the tight relationship between #OUN-M and the #Nazis.
Next, a declassifed 1946 #CIA secret history of the #Ukrainian #Nationalists since #WWI, used to brief the OSS in 1946 about possible recruitment of #Ukrainian ex-Nazis into the OSS, later the #CIA. #OUN was subordinate to #German #military #intelligence since the early 1920s.
