THE TRUTH ABOUT UKRAINE
NO HOLDS BARRED.

If my dear mother, a Holocaust survivor, was alive, she would have this to say about Ukraine: ‘Loz em brennan’ (let them burn).
To help understand her statement, you might recall one of the most terrible events in WWII, known as Babi Yar. It’s a deep ravine in the main city, Kiev in Ukraine. In 1941 in the period of just 2 days, almost 34,000 Jews were murdered there! Think about that number. And it was all done by men shooting at innocent civilians. A very personal way to commit mass murder. That was nothing like carpet bombing a city from the air. As far as we know, that extreme murder rate had never been achieved until then. Of course the Nazis organized the killing. But it was the Ukrainians who actually did the killing. You see, the Ukrainians had such a blood lust for killing Jews that even the Nazis had to stop them. The Germans were in love with organized killing and documenting every ‘perfect’ thing they did. So when the Ukrainians were running around trying to murder every Jew they saw, the Nazis intervened and instructed them on how to do it efficiently and more organized.
Since then the Germans have laws (serious laws) against joining any neo-Nazi party. They have also paid out millions of dollars to Holocaust survivors and their families. The Ukrainians have literally gotten away with murder.
Today, decades after the war, Ukraine has more neo-Nazi groups than any other country in the world! (Yet another world record) And they are not forced underground in any way. The largest of these, Azov, is unofficially part of their parliament. Many fools consider them to just be nationalistic. Although some members might be, most are thugs. Their flag is similar to a swastika and they are antisemitic to the core, just like their grandfathers were.
Azov flag
When Putin says he wants to de-nazify Ukraine, he’s not lying. I have no doubt that we will soon be hearing of stories leaked out of Ukraine, blaming it’s small Jewish population for the trouble they are in now. I already have heard some.
Ukraine is not a democracy and never has been. It is as corrupt as Russia or perhaps more so. Definitely more antisemitic. Since 2014, Ukraine has become the world’s most popular money laundering state. Oligarchs run it mob style and chose the then actor Zelensky to be their presidential puppet. The WEF’s Klaus Schwab bragged about helping elect him and his equivalent Canadian puppet Trudeau. Just about every rich and famous player has been to Ukraine. And came back with even more money. From Bill Gates to Joe Biden, from George Soros to the Clintons. They all know that Ukraine is open for business. Even the CIA opened deadly bioweapon laboratories there because they couldn’t open them anywhere else!
I am sick and tired of people (especially Jews) depicting Zelensky as a hero or worse, a Jewish hero. Zelensky is as Jewish as Bernie Sanders or George Soros. Technically he was born Jewish but that’s where it ends. He left his Judaism by the road side years ago. He is no real friend to Israel and tolerates the neo-Nazis in his own government quite well. He does what his masters tell him to do and say. He has probably been paid off by Soros who is loving all of us Western nations spending billions to prop up this corrupt state and leader. Do you recall their capitulation to then VP Biden to fire their prosecutor who was looking at the fraud committed by the Burisma corporation who had Hunter Biden as a board member? They wanted the billions of US dollars from the Obama administration and would do anything for the money. So they did. Biden bragged about it on TV! Here’s a clip if you haven’t seen it. Quite incredible: Joe Biden brags about firing Ukrainian prosecutor
To be sure, I’m no fan of Putin. He’s a brutal dictator and I certainly wish that he hadn’t invaded Ukraine. Many innocent people will die as a result, no doubt. But to see it from his view, Ukraine has a population of about 40 million people. About half are Russians! The other half come from various tribal factions like Ruthenians, etc. If you look at the history of Ukraine, it belonged to many different empires and states until recently. My father was brought up in a city called Lvov in Poland before WWII. Now it belongs to Ukraine under the name of Lviv. If my dad was alive he could tell us stories of how the people of the city would hunt Jewish boys like him down on the way back from school and beat them up. This was well before WWII. The neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine have been running roughshod on all Russian citizens and businesses there. I will include a video here where you can see it. These videos and my facts here are not typically found in the mainstream media (yet). But over time the truth does slowly leak out and you’ll hear more about what I’m saying here. I urge you to watch this video, it will hopefully wake you up from the constant babble I hear 24/7 about how noble the Ukrainians are. Ukraine neo-Nazis.
Today on social media I see many people with a Ukrainian flag. I’ve read articles written by good writers (both Jews and Gentiles) who are piling on the backs of Ukraine and espousing how brave the people are and how wonderful Zelensky is. Why are we giving them this kind of false idolatry and PR?
I view this war like I did when Iran and Iraq were at war years ago. Two evil states killing each other. Mostly I feel sorry for my fellow Jews who remain in Ukraine. It’s hard to say how many they are but I can guess about 100,000 poor Jews still live there. If you want to help the cause, you should donate to organizations that help them. I’m proud of my Jewish homeland, Israel who is already planning on sending planes to bring them to Israel.
If we learn anything from this war it’s that we (Jews and Israel) cannot rely on anyone else to guarantee our safety.
Calling Putin names won’t help.
Of course this entire war could have been prevented if President Trump was still the US leader. He had the US on a course of energy independence and strength. The US, Canada and even Israel could have supplied all the oil, gas and coal that Europe needed. But thanks to the cognitive mess we call Joe Biden, he undid all that and gave a pass to the Russian pipeline to fuel Germany and the rest of Europe. Israel discovered huge reserves of oil and gas underground and under its territorial waters in the Mediterranean years ago. The plan was to build a pipeline to ship it to Crete & Greece and then on to Europe. The Trump administration sponsored the project. But the Biden administration cancelled it. Strong sanctions now will hurt Russia and all of us as well.
Israel needs to be very careful as to how it deals with this war. It has a relatively good relationship with Russia at the moment and shouldn’t assume that it can jump on the sanction bandwagon with many other countries without risking some serious repercussions in Syria and elsewhere.
To sum up: I stand for my Jewish people in Ukraine and for all the good Christians there as well. I pray for their well being and I have donated money for them. I wrote this article because another narrative needs to be heard. You might not want to hear it, yet here it is. I might lose some friends over this but the situation isn’t black and white. Most geopolitical events are complex. I don’t consider myself an expert. I am not. But like most things in the news, a narrative is being developed by people we should not trust but people are caught up in that 24/7 news cycle and are quick to hop on the mainstream media’s bandwagon. I for one, will not lose too much sleep if Ukraine disappears. I’ll leave it up to Him to decide how things play out there. I do believe in karma….
How ever one looks at the situation, it’s certainly not worth risking a world war over, G-d forbid! Recall the events leading up to WWI. A Serb assassinated the Austro-Hungarian archduke. Because of various treaties signed by various world powers at the time (Britain, France, Germany and Russia) this small incident brought on the war! A brutal war that no one wanted.
We are at a crossroads here too. We must be very careful what we wish for. Urging our countries to send troops and planes over there can easily spark something no one wants (perhaps except the WEF and people like George Soros). I am not an isolationist by any means. But we do have other means at our disposal to de-escalate this. Opening our energy sectors in the US, Israel and even my own country, Canada, to serve Europe and thereby cut out Russia is probably the best and most effective way. Of course electing strong principled leaders that are not corrupt is an absolute requirement as well!
I’m just seeing this post now. Thanks for publishing my blog post Ted.
As I knew I would, I lost some colleagues over this but I gained many more.
Some friends and relatives asked me why am I so in love with Russia. Or they say ‘I just wish that Zelensky and Ukraine will wipe out Putin and Russia with our help.’
These types of comments represent an immaturity common in children.
Clearly I am not in love with Russia. Although it’s worth noting that both my parents and millions of others (especially Jews) were saved by Russia during WWII. A fact that is rarely mentioned. Like most Jewish Poles, they escaped to Russia when Germany advanced into Poland. My dad joined the Russian army and my mother was sent to a gulag in Siberia. It sure as hell wasn’t a party but it sure as hell was a million times better than a visit to Auschvitz, G-d forbid! For that reason alone I will never despise Russia like I do the many Muslim states that continually try to destroy my Jewish homeland. But I am no shill for Putin or Russia. Unlike so many, I don’t swallow the MSM BS on Russia or any other damn thing. I know exactly who Putin and Russia are.
In a later blog I suggested that all of those people (both on the Right and Left) who blindly and ignorantly support Ukraine at all costs, think it thru. Let’s pretend that with the billions of dollars of aid and military equipment (and even soldiers) that we supplied to Ukraine, that Ukraine wins the war. Russia is virtually wiped out. Now what? Will you trust one of the most corrupt and compromised world leaders to take over Russia, a country that has more tactical nukes than any other country in the world, by far? I sure as hell would not! Recall just a few months back that Ukraine fired 2 missiles into Poland and tried to blame it on Russia. Since Poland is part of NATO, the US and other NATO states would have to declare war on Russia. Of course the US, Russia of course and most NATO countries knew within minutes that it was Ukraine who fired those missiles. But madman Zelensky and his bosses (Soros, Biden administration, WEF and others) tried to get us (the world) involved in WW3 with Russia and it’s allies like China! Meanwhile Putin and Russia have had those nukes for decades and how many has he fired so far? None. No WW3 as yet. Putin is no Ayatolla and Russia is not Iran.
Let me address the 2nd childish comment: ‘I wish that Zelensky would just wipe out Russia and hang Putin in the public square.’
Reality is quite different that the scenario I posited above. That is, Ukraine has no hope in hell of winning a war against Russia. Even with all of our help (the billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine) Ukraine has no chance. In fact they have already lost the war but the MSM refuses to publish this. The main reason is that (as I wrote in my blog above) Ukraine is so bloody corrupt that most of the aid is simply stolen and is resold in the black market. Zelensky, like his heroes Arafat and Abbas is simply pocketing the money. He continues to buy multi million dollar estates throughout the world. Again the MSM and the governments who continue to throw money his way are deathly quiet about his sick corruption.
So here we are over a year later. Who is suffering? Ukrainians for sure. Europe will be very cold this winter (it was cool last winter too). We here in Canada and the US are also suffering. It’s not all due to the war in Ukraine but surely a lot is.
Like Ted, I blame the US as the main culprit. Instead of trying to de-escalate the war (and they could have stopped it months ago), they are pushing for WWIII.
Janet Levy emailed me about Zelensky’s speech in 2020 to the World Economic Forum.

Black lives matter, except on the Polish-Ukraine border. In a blatant show of racism, African students fleeing the fighting in Ukraine were refused entry into Poland because of the color of their skin. It would appear that Europe might be western and a liberal democracy, but they also have a serious problem with racism.
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Poland to let in all people who are trying to flee Ukraine, saying they “have the same right to safe passage under U.N. convention, and the color of their passport or their skin should make no difference.”
Emily, a 24-year-old medical student from Kenya, told the Guardian that she was able to reach a hotel in Warsaw only to be refused a room because she was Black. She was told by hotel staff the rooms were only for Ukrainians.
Isaac, a Nigerian man trying to get into Poland, told the BBC that Polish border staff told him they were “not tending to Africans“.
“They stopped us at the border and told us that Blacks were not allowed. But we could see White people going through,” said Moustapha Bagui Sylla, a student from Guinea told France24. He said he fled his university residence in Kharkiv as soon as the bombing began.
“They won’t let Africans in. Blacks without European passports cannot cross the border (…). They’re pushing us back just because we’re Black!” said Michael, a Nigerian student to France24. “We’re all human,” he added. “They should not discriminate against us because of the colour of our skin.”
How people look, the color of their skin and hair, as well as the language they speak, and where their grandparents came from are all sources of racism, and the western liberal media has a problem with racism as well.
On Saturday, David Sakvarelidze, Ukraine’s former deputy general prosecutor, spoke to the BBC, suggesting that it was harder for him to watch white people fleeing conflict.

MIDEAST DISCOURSE

From article pointed to by Peloni
Studies I have authored, analyzing the Maidan massacre trials (ongoing since their start in 2015) and investigations in Ukraine, reveal overwhelming evidence that the Maidan protesters were massacred by snipers positioned within Maidan-controlled buildings and not by government snipers or Berkut (riot) policemen, who have been accused of picking off dozens of demonstrators. Such studies include a peer-reviewed article, a book chapter, and papers and video appendices presented at major academic conferences, including at the recent virtual World Congress of the International Council for Central and East European Studies in Montréal. With some notable exceptions, such evidence was not reported by the Western media, which from the start blamed government snipers and the Berkut police for the massacre of the Maidan protesters on the orders of then President Yanukovych.

All evidence shows this was work of agents provocateur
The aim was a coup. This is what the Democrats carried out. But the Republicans were with them which is why Trump never spoke on this.
The results we see on the News today.
As Reader pointed out things like this are spun by the Republican Trump Party
The US has already forbidden Israel to build its pipeline.
The US wants no competitors.
Russia is not a dictatorship and Putin (with all the flaws I am sure he has) is not a bloody dictator.
Moscow has just removed all the COVID restrictions in the city.
The Baby Yar massacre was conducted for 2 days in September of 1941 mostly by the Germans (special units, SS, Wehrmacht, police, etc.) aided by the Ukrainian police and the local “volunteers”.
The killings at that location went on afterwards also.
There are tens of thousands of other victims – communists, Gypsies, partisans, psychiatric patients, etc.
I wish people researched more thoroughly the material they want to write about.
FelixQuigley:
Visceral!
At last someone talking sense about what’s going on. From the very start I could not at all understand why Zelensky was being hailed a hero and how Ukraine was being billed as an upstanding democracy and a poor victim of the Russian beast. Please. Read some history. Even before Babi Yar, between 1918 and 1921 Ukrainians massacred an estimated 100,000 Jews. The country has been dominated by criminal oligarchs for as long as Russia has been run by rich criminals like the one in power now. Zelensky is the perfect foil for the thugs and neo-Nazis who can say, Look we have a Jewish president, we can’t be Nazis or God forbid, antisemites. The fact that Zelensky allows himself to be used in this way should say it all. But it’s even worse. He actually plays the Jewish card for sympathy all while his Nazi Azov battalion rains death on the poor people of Mariupol all of whom are Russian. Barely five years ago the government renamed main streets in their major cities after the Nazi sympathizers who fought the Russians.
A very similar take on this can be seen here from a Canadian from Hungary:
https://rumble.com/vw7b6r-great-insight-on-the-russiaukraine-invasion-usabidenweftrudeaufreeland-invo.html
I think we’ve entered to an era of history where the world is the playground for psychopathic oligarchs, cartels and gangsters. It matters not whether the come from the East or the West. They all have in common their own personal interests to the exclusion of the common people anywhere. Ukraine was the playground for the Obama, Biden, Clinton criminals after they fomented their coup against the Russia oriented oligarchs. The Western gangsters AKA politicians wanted Ukraine for the resources, especially wheat and the oil pipelines that cross its territory from Russia. But they pushed the bear too far and are now being thrown out in favour, once again, of the Russian gangsters led by Putin. Le plus ça change le plus ça reste la meme chose. The more things change the more they stay the same. As Hobbes said: The powerful will do what they will and the weak will suffer what we must.
Very compelling summary by Leon. I know he acknowledges that he is not an expert on the subject, but I think he does an excellent job summarizing the subject.
For anyone unfamiliar with the Maidan Revolution which should be called the Maidan Massacre, please read “The hidden origin of the escalating Ukraine-Russian conflict-The Maidan massacre”:
https://johnmenadue.com/ivan-katchanovski-the-hidden-origin-of-the-escalating-ukraine-russian-conflict-the-maidan-massacre/
This is a must read article that covers a great many facts about Maidan, the Civil War and the investigations into the origin of the conflict. Among other revolations cited here is the fact that members of the Far-Right Svoboda Party told them weeks prior to the Maidan massacre that
Larry Johnson also recently wrote an article specifically on the Azov Battalion called “Yes, The AZOV Battalion is a Nazi Sympathizer”:
https://turcopolier.com/yes-the-azov-battalion-is-a-nazi-sympathizer/
I will study this article some more.But initially strikes me very forcefully that the same mentality which loved the Palestinians and hates Israel also loves the very sound Ukraine and hates Russia
Something primitive going on
