AbundantHope Front Pages Pdf *58-- Page 1 Political Information Dec 16, 2019 - Fires Rage in Canada as Professor Attacks the Myth of Holodomor Matthew Ehret: University of Alberta Assistant Professor Dougal MacDonald raised hell on November 20 by writing in a personal Facebook post that the 1932-33 genocide of Ukrainians referred to as Holodomor never happened but was rather a "myth fabricated by Hitlerites". Ron: YEAH RIGHTTT! Lenin said "tell a lie big enough and often enough it becomes the truth". The Jew led Bolsheviks who Alexandr Solzhenitsyn said tortured and murdered 66 million Russians* say they didn't starve to death 7-10 million Christian Ukrainians, they just starved to death of their own accord in the Ukraine which was the breadbasket of Europe prior to the Jews' Bolshevik COUP in Imperial Russia in 1917. * "You must understand. The leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. The October Revolution was not what you call in America the "Russian Revolution." It was an invasion and conquest over the Russian people. More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators."- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918-2008), Nobel-Prize-winning novelist, historian and victim of Jewish Bolshevism (Marxism). The Bolsheviks used repeated famines (Holodomors) in their conquest of Imperial Russia. See eg: The Three Holodomor Genocides - http://abundanthope.net/pages/Political_Information_43/The-Three-Holodomor- Genocides.shtml Some excerpts: Lenin even outlined the need for famine by stating "destroying the peasant economy and driving the peasant from the country to the town, the famine creates a proletariat..." At which point he exposed the real purpose for instigating the Jewish Bolshevik famine. "It is precisely now and only now, when in the starving regions people are eating human flesh, and hundreds if not thousands of corpses are littering the roads, that we can (and therefore must) carry out the confiscation of church valuables with the most savage and merciless energy, not stopping (short of) crushing any resistance." He continued, "The greater the number of representatives of the reactionary clergy and reactionary bourgeoisie we succeed in executing for this reason, the better". Violent torture and confiscation of food proved such an effective method of crushing Tambov that the cycle was repeated in the Ukraine in areas resisting occupation by Jewish Bolshevism. It is a matter of record that international relief organizations were forbidden to operate in Ukraine until January 1922 confirming that the Jewish Bolshevik authorities had no wish to alleviate the suffering they had inflicted until they were quite sure that the population had been ‘pacified'. Meanwhile, the Russian populace was in the grip of an equally destructive Bolshevik engineered famine and it is estimated that across both famines as many as 5 million ethnic Europeans were murdered... AbundantHope Front Pages Pdf *58-- Page 2 Yet it is Naftaly Frenkel, a Jewish businessman and member of the Cheka who is best known for his role in the organisation of work in the Gulag starting with the concentration camps of the Solovetsky Islands, recognised as one of the earliest sites of the Gulag. Frenkel personally invented the notorious you-eat-as-you-work system, also known as the nourishment scale. Like the larger scale Holodomor genocides-murder by starvation this destroyed weaker prisoners in weeks and induced a phenomenal death toll greatly supporting Lenin's "bloody war of extermination"... Nikita Khrushchev also played a very significant role in the Holodomor genocide of 1932-33 in which as many as 10 million ethnic Europeans were murdered. On the basis of performances in that Bolshevik engineered famine in 1934 he was promoted to a full member of the Communist Party of the Soviet construct. What proceeds is part of a witness statement made at the extensive hearing on the role and responsibility of Nikita S. Khrushchev in Stalin's inhuman and barbarous persecution of the Ukrainian people held by the House Committee on Un-American Activities On September 9th-11th, 1959, 16 days prior to Khrushchev's capped 12 day visit to America. ... There is no doubt that in order to become a full member of the Central Committee, Khrushchev had to prove to the Jewish Bolshevik regime that he was worthy of this promotion. This he did in executing the policy of forced famine in the Ukraine. Nevertheless, on January 13th, 2010, Kiev Appellate Court posthumously found the Jewish Cheka guard Lazar Kaganovich alone guilty of genocide against Ukrainians for his participation in the 1932-33 Holodomor and even "though Kaganovich was pronounced guilty as a criminal, the case was ended immediately following sentence without fanfare or any significant media attention indicating either Jewish appeasement or more likely Jewish interference". Furthermore, there was the usual failure to mention the 1921-22 or 1946-47 genocides even though Kaganovich was a full member of the 13th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th Orgburo or organizational Bureau, the department responsible for all assignments within the apparatus of the Communist Party meaning that he was in office from April 3rd 1922 - March 18th 1946. Clearly Khrushchev's role in the second Holodomor was concealed for he had a further nefarious task to perform for the Jewish Bolshevik agenda. In 1959 the ‘terrible Swedish Jew' president Dwight D. Eisenhower* invited him to America. No president of America had ever asked a Bolshevik premier to visit the United States before and curiously it was journalist Alistair Cooke that presents some insight-"Not a tour of America to see what America is about but a free campaign tour provided by the state department, an incomparable advertisement at the American expense of the glories of communism and the coming violent decline of the western world." * Be aware that the Sephardic Rockefellers controlled US and were in secret alliance with Lenin and Stalin's Bolshevik Soviet Union from 1917 until Christian Russians ousted the Bolshevik's from power in the USSR and defeated the US in the Battle of the Harvest Moon on 27 September 1977. See eg: Dr. Peter David Beter - Audio Letter No. 26 ff - http://www.peterdavidbeter.com/docs/all/dbal26.html Also be aware that Eisenhower was promoted to be the Supreme Commander of the Allied military during WWII over the heads of far more senior and seasoned Generals. ... the cycle in the 1932-33 and 1946-47 followed the Russian and Ukrainian forced famines of the early 1920's. Areas of resistance corresponded with high grain seizure AbundantHope Front Pages Pdf *58-- Page 3 and the greatest suffering categorically proved a Bolshevik punishment regime. By 1946 Jewish Bolshevik grain seizure had coursed [sic] rampant starvation throughout the population of Vinnytsya region in central Ukraine. Reports state that in 1932 375, 923 tons of grain were confiscated from Vinnytsya region following which the region's population starved.

    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/2011/08/07/book-review-osama-bin-laden-scheuer/ Book Review: Osama Bin Laden Matthew Partridge finds Michael Scheuer‘s work to be extremely useful as a guide to the motivations of Osama Bin Laden, and the extent to which Al-Qaeda was different from more conventional terrorist groups. Osama Bin Laden. Michael Scheuer. Oxford University Press. February 2011. Find this book: Google Books Amazon While doing research in America five years ago, I came across a letter in President Truman’s correspondence file offering $50,000 for the opportunity to display a live Hitler in a cage around the country. While it was clearly preserved as an example of the facetious correspondence the White House regularly has to deal with (other letters in the file included a schoolteacher volunteering the services of her and her pupils as mediators between Truman and Stalin), this illustrates the problem of how both governments and historians deal with history’s monsters. Of course, as insurgents, rather than rulers, Al-Qaeda and its affiliates were responsible for tens of thousands of deaths in Yemen, Somalia, Iraq and New York, rather than the millions killed by the Nazis. Nonetheless, the attempt to downplay Bin Laden’s significance, by anonymously burying him at sea and releasing claims that he was addicted to pornography, risks obscuring the gravity of his crimes, his ideological underpinnings and the fact that Islamism did not die with him at Abbottabad. As Michael Scheuer, the former head of the CIA’s Bin Laden unit notes in his biography, entitled simply Osama Bin Laden, “Washington did not chalk off Lord Howe as a fool and a womanizer”.

Grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions are international offenses and perpetrators can be prosecuted abroad if accountability is not pursued at home. The US torture policy, instituted by the Bush administration in the context of the “war on terror” presents a contemporary example of liability for gross crimes under international law. For this reason, classification and secrecy have functioned in tandem as a shield to block public knowledge about prosecutable offenses. Keeping such information secret and publicizing deceptive official accounts that contradict the truth are essential to propaganda strategies to sustain American support or apathy about the country’s multiple current wars.

  • Constructivism, Strategic Culture, and the Iraq War
    ASPJ Africa & Francophonie - 4th Quarter 2011 Constructivism, Strategic Culture, and the Iraq War TOBY LAUTERBACH* ccording to constructivists, the United States went to war in Iraq because the dominant strategic cultural norm, that of seeking geopolitical stability through multilateral deterrence, appeared bankrupt to the Bush administration after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 (9/11). This led elites in the administration to view Ademocratic regime change in Iraq as imposing an international norm of hegemonic global policing through unilateral preventive war. Given short- comings in the existing literature, this article makes the constructivist case for explaining the Iraq War. For constructivists, a proposed normative shift in American strategic cultural ideas played a causal role in the US invasion of Iraq. For those constructivists who take an ambitious perspective, the attempt to shift the norms of America’s strategic culture—and thus its national security policy—precipitated that invasion. A more cautious analyst would contend that the normative shift advocated by the Bush administra- tion worked in tandem with interest-based calculations, such as geopolitical logic, in leading to that military action. The Iraq War was supposed to prove the viability of a new norm—unilateral preventive war—advocated by neo- conservative norm entrepreneurs and traditional conservative converts as well as sympathizers in the Bush administration. This was part of a larger strategic cultural vision advocating the hegemonic promotion of democracy through force. Advocates intended that a new perspective on war, the hege- * Theauthor is a PhD candidate and former instructor at Purdue University.

Looking for a New England, the sequel to his Psychedelic Celluloid, is published on 28 January 2021. Details of what it covers can be found at <https://youtu.be/YmcL6K9PYyg>. Simon also noticed this in my ‘View from the Bridge’ in Lobster 68 (2014). Boris and the City If you wondered what the subtext was to Mayor of London Boris Johnson’s announcement in early August that he would be trying to return to the House of Commons, the answer lay in a story in the Daily Telegraph on 8 August headed ‘Brussels plots fresh City of London power grab: European Commission calls for greater powers for Brussels regulators in move likely to inflame tensions between City and Europe’. Reading (just) between the lines of his speech it is obvious that Boris is offering himself as the leader of the Conservative Party who will take the UK out of the EU to preserve the City of London as the financial crime centre of the world economy. *new* Footnotes-R-us You have noticed how web links (URLs) in the footnotes of Lobster articles in many instances now include not only the original ‘long’ URL but a TinyURL as well.

    Violent Non-State Actors in World Politics Edited by Klejda Mulaj HURST & COMPANY, LONDON 10 Al Qaeda From the Near to the Far Enemy and Back (1988-2008) Mohammad-Mahmoud Ould Mohamedou All hopes to the contrary notwithstanding, it seems as though the one argument that the Arabs are incapable of understanding isforce, - Hannah Arendt' By the mid-to-late 2000s, Al Qaeda had essentially completed the mission it set out to achieve twenty years earlier. For all practical purposes and against all odds, the subsequent phases that have been discerned in the conflict with its foes were in effect just additional opportunities for the group's existing global gains; it has outlived the George W, Bush administration, has engi- neered further political decrepitude in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and threatens to conduct potential new attacks on Western targets, The conven- tional wisdom, rehearsed from 2004 on, held that it was the transformation of Al Qaeda that had been the key reason for its survival and resurgence. Close examination of the group's history reveals that the strength of Al Qaeda lies, in point of fact, not so much in its post-September 11 mutation-a logical evasive step which many other terrorist or insurgent groups had enacted • 'Peace or Armistice in the Near East', Review of Politics, January 1950, p. 56. 207 VIOLENT NON-STATE ACTORS IN WORLD POLITICS AL QAEDA: FROM THE NEAR TO THE FAR ENEMY AND BACK previously-but more in its inherent adaptability and its faculty to innovate and setting it in motion dramatically under the local leadership of Abu Musab constantly.
