Inspired by my field trip to the interior of the Japanese alps and the last Zen temple of the germ warfare equipped imperial stay-behind army's HQ, I dig in to this, my possible most paranoid question to date.
Edition No122 | 03-04-2025 - The story in today's episode has come as huge and bewildering shock to a lot of people. But unfortunately, is something that Jonathan Pearce and I suggested was a possibility some weeks back. And that is the full alignment of Washington with Moscow's objectives, which amount to a modern-day Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. An attempt to carve up Ukrainian territory, assets and resources, including minerals, metals, hydrocarbons and now infrastructure as well, in a neo-colonial annexation. The worst aspect is that this is likely being coordinated with a reincarnated evil empire, the Russian imperial project, the resurrection of the USSR, and a terror state that has committed innumerable war crimes, some of which amount to a modern-day genocide, comparable to the Holodomor. ----------LINKS:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/34df812ab180a9d4https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/mar/25/russia-ukraine-ceasefire-trumphttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/starmer-coalition-of-the-willing-ukraine-paris-b2722491.htmlhttps://kyivindependent.com/kremlin-warns-it-may-resume-energy-strikes-accuses-ukraine-of-ceasefire-breaches/https://kyivindependent.com/white-house-rejects-putins-proposal-for-temporary-government-in-ukraine/https://kyivindependent.com/you-cant-trust-the-russians-europes-ukraine-peacekeeping-plans-face-one-obvious-hurdle/ ----------Easter Pysanky: Silicon Curtain - https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/easter-pysanky-silicon-curtainCar for Ukraine has joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this special Easter season.

This week we chat with Katherine Marsh, author of The Lost Year, a finalist for the 2023 National Book Award for Young People's Literature. I recently discovered this book after one of our book club members selected another Katherine Marsh book, Nowhere Boy, for our August read. The Lost Year is middle-grade historical fiction and it is super timely because part of it is set in Ukraine in the 1930s. The story introduced me to a topic in Ukraine history I knew nothing about called the Holodomor. Katherine tells us all about her novel which was inspired by her relationship with her grandmother who was from Ukraine. It is a perfect book selection if you are curious about Ukrainian history that influences current events; reading this book would also allow you to check off having read something for Middle Grade March. For our book recommendations in this episode, we're talking about books in which cats are a central part of the story. We have some nonfiction selections, as well as literary fiction and graphic novels that will definitely appeal to your inner cat. If you don't love cats, you can check out these books anyway for their compelling stories OR you can wait around for Amy to muscle Carrie into a future dog episode.

Entre 1931 et 1932, une grande famine appelée Holodomor décime la population ukrainienne, faisant plusieurs millions de morts. Ne faisant suite à aucun aléa météorologique, cette famine est orchestrée par le régime stalinien, en représailles de l'opposition paysanne à la collectivisation forcée des terres. Près de cent ans après cet événement majeur de l'histoire ukrainienne, la qualification des faits en génocide fait encore débat. Pour évoquer cette tragédie méconnue, Virginie Girod reçoit l'historien Stéphane Courtois, directeur de recherche honoraire au CNRS, il est l'auteur d'une trentaine d'ouvrages consacrés au communisme français et international et au phénomène totalitaire.
With Eliot traveling Eric welcomes Eugene Finkel, the Kenneth H. Keller Professor of International Affairs at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) to discuss his recent book Intent to Destroy: Russia's Two-Hundred Year Quest to Dominate Ukraine (New York: Basic Books, 2024). They discuss the long-term Russian effort to dominate, subordinate and eliminate Ukrainian nationality, culture and language. They touch on the pillars of Russian national identify and how Russians came to see Ukraine and Ukrainians as inferior members of a hierarchy of Russian-ness and how the emergence of Ukrainian nationalism in Poland and later the Austro-Hungarian empire came to represent an existential threat to Russian ethnic domination of St. Petersburg's multinational empire in the run up to world war one. They discuss the collapse of the Russian Empire and the emergence of an independent Ukraine, the reasons for its failure and Stalin's efforts to destroy Ukrainian nationalism, his drive for collectivization of agriculture and the ensuing Holodomor -- a man-made famine that cost perhaps as many as 5 million lives. They also discuss Ukraine during World War Two, caught between the Wehrmacht and Red Army. The collaboration of some Ukrainian nationalists with the Nazis and the guerrilla war to prevent Soviet re-occupation of Ukraine which lasted into the early 1950s, cost perhaps 100 thousand lives and gave birth to the Russian notion that Ukrainian nationalism was inherently fascist. They consider Ukraine's independence in 1992, the negotiation of the Budapest Memorandum and the myth that Ukraine "gave up nuclear weapons, as well as the cultural shift that will have to take place in Russia if there is to be lasting peace that ends the current war.

Ukraina, som är ett av världens mest bördiga områden, tvingades betala ett högt pris för att bönderna motsatte sig bolsjevikernas hårdhänta tvångskollektivisering av jordbruket enligt den första femårsplanen.Från hösten 1932 till sommaren 1933 drabbades sovjetrepubliken Ukraina av massvält där minst tre miljoner människor svalt ihjäl. Svälten berodde delvis på torka, men Josef Stalin förvärrade medvetet konsekvenserna av torkan. Landsbygden tystande och liken fick ligga obegravda och det finns många fall av kannibalism dokumenterade.I detta avsnitt samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med Klas-Göran Karlsson, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet som bland annat skrivit boken Folkmord.Även om torka spelade in så var svälten i huvudsak orkestrerad av bolsjevikerna i Moskva. Kommunister i Ukraina som försökte mildra svälten straffades hårt. Samtidigt som ukrainare dog i miljontals exporterades spannmål för att ge inkomster för att investera i industrialisering. Dessutom deporterades hundratusentals bönder till Sibirien och Kazakstan där många dog av sina umbäranden. Myndigheterna förbjöd också människor att lämna Ukraina i jakt på mat.Orsakerna till svälten går att finna i bolsjevikernas vilja att krossa det nationella motståndet i Ukraina och utplåna bönderna som klass. Men också kollektiviseringen av jordbruket i sig och tvångsrekvirering av livsmedel orsakade stora störningar på produktionen av livsmedel. En tredje förklaring är torkan som drabbade området.Den första femårsplanen som inleddes 1927 skulle industrialisera Sovjetunionen på tio år. En process som tagit 150 år i Västvärlden. Här blev export av spannmål viktigt för att kunna importera teknik till den tunga industrin. Tanken var att kollektivjordbruk skulle producera överskottet, men bönderna var inte intresserade av att ge upp sin jord som den så sent om i början av 1900-talet fått äganderätt till.Kulaker definierades som rika bönder som anställde jordbruksarbetare, men i kriget mot bönderna kom begreppet att användas på alla som motsatte sig tvångkollektiviseringen av jordbruket som på allvar inleddes vid årsskiftet 1931-32.Enbart år 1930 deporterades omkring 75 000 kulakfamiljer, det vill säga cirka 300 000 individer, från Ukraina. De skickades i överfulla järnvägsvagnar mot Sibirien, Centralasien eller Stillahavskusten. Ofta dumpades människor bara ute på tundran för tvingas klara sig på egen hand.Under våren 1933 åt människorna giftiga svampar, råttor, hundar och katter samt människor. 3,2 miljoner människor dog i Ukraina under svälten, enligt historikern Stanislav Kulchitsky som baserat beräkningen på tillgängliga data från de tidigare hemliga sovjetiska arkiven. Men på grund av osäkert statistiskt underlag väljer Kulchitsky att ange antalet offer till någonstans mellan 3 och 3,5 miljoner. Arbetarens dotter, Charkiv, 1933.

Whether organic or artificial, the recent reports of flyers being dropped in London threatening Zionist-Jews, and the recent UK incident of Jewish kids on buses being attacked by other kids off the street, are examples of a rising chaos that is without context. However, we know that a woman in Canada holding her arm up like a National-Socialist and saying ‘Final Solution' was doing so as a Jew to smear Palestinian protestors; we know a man in the US putting swastikas on signs had a Jewish name and was looking to smear Republicans; we know that Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer fans in Amsterdam were ripping flags down from a private residence in a foreign country, disturbing the peace of a flood victim memorial, and attacking cab drivers, all while chanting “death or Arabs,” long before mobs gathered in resistance or some random person said ‘cancer Jews'; we also know that an Atlantic hit piece, written by the Jewish Franklin Foer, on the incoming presidential administration in the US being ‘the most Anti-Semitic Cabinet in Decades' is totally in contrast with nearly every appointment-pick being a Jewish-Zionist, Christian-Zionist, or zealot looking for war in Iran. What this tells us, alongside of 79% of Jews voting for Democrats, who receive half their campaign money from Jews, and $100 million dollar given by the Jewish Mariam Adelson to her ‘savior' who won the US Presidential election, there are multiple factions looking to make Jews victim in order to just censoring speech, protest, press, and even guns in the case of the Jewish Michael Bloomberg.We also know that according to the Council on American Islamic Relations that nearly 49% of Muslim students are being harassed or mocked in schools simply for being Muslim, most having never been to a protest. This is a constant theme that has been increasing since 2013, and a true definition of rising anti-semitism, a term which has been hijacked like the words holocaust or pogrom. In fact, despite the blatant disregard for peace or the law in Amsterdam by Jewish fans, Benjamin Netanyahu accused respondents of attacking Jews “just for being Jews,” and said that the response was nothing more than a “pogrom,” a term that refers to the calling for massacre of a particular group of people - Palestinians, Russians, etc. As is the case with holocaust being a mass killing by fire - Hiroshima, Nagasaki. Either way you divide this issue you find one group or another being made victim and given special protections against the rights of others; you find common Jews being made victim to violence by bigots fed either leftwing or rightwing propaganda; you find calls for war. All of this is setting the stage for literal armageddon, when even that is metaphoric like the Promised Land. This show is about understanding, peace, and context. If we neglect to approach these subjects as such then we are reduced to the rhetoric of the Jewish Communist Ilya Ehrenburg, who called to kill all Germans, just as today there are calls to kill the Russians, Palestinians, Ukrainians, Americans, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and so on.-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKWEBSITEPAYPALLEAVE A REVIEW ON APPLECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
Today on The Truth Central, Dr. Jerome Corsi takes a deep dive into New York Times' Reporter Walter Duranty, who was given a Pulitzer Prize for his fictional accounts of Josef Stalin's rule over the Soviet Union, serving as the communist dictator's public relations agent and promoter. Duranty's glowing stories about Stalin and the communist oppression included lies about life under the dictatorship, propping the murderous tyrant up into celebrity status (at least for those who believed the stories) and willfully hiding Holodomor - the starvation of Ukrainians - from the world.Still, there was an even darker side to Duranty and his alliance with evil: the disgraced reporter's life was one of debauchery, sinister behavior, quid-pro-quo deals with Soviet leaders and a close bond with Satanist Aleister Crowley.Visit The Truth Central website: https://www.thetruthcentral.comIf you like what we are doing, please support our Sponsors:Get RX Meds Now: https://www.getrxmedsnow.comMyVitalC https://www.thetruthcentral.com/myvitalc-ess60-in-organic-olive-oil/Swiss America: https://www.swissamerica.com/offer/CorsiRMP.phpGet Dr. Corsi's new book, The Assassination of President John F.

Could a forgotten plot to overthrow a U.S. president rewrite the history we know? Join us as we unravel the hidden layers of the 1933 Business Plot, a scheme that almost toppled Franklin D. Roosevelt. With the brilliant Chris Graves uncovering fascinating insights about General Smedley Butler, we're diving into narratives that challenge mainstream history, examining the delicate dance between power, politics, and conspiracy. From the peculiar synchronicities in personal anecdotes to the astonishing revelations around the coup that never was, we're guiding you through a web of intrigue that remains largely untold.Chris Graves joins us to dissect the intricate details surrounding the alleged fascist coup, shedding light on the covert operations of wealthy businessmen threatened by Roosevelt's New Deal.

With a keen eye on the societal tensions of the era, we explore the rebellious spirit of the Bonus Army and the geopolitical chessboard that defined the prelude to World War II. Our conversation doesn't shy away from controversy, as we question the motives behind these historical shifts and the role of influential military figures like Butler.As we weave through the chaos of geopolitical narratives and pop culture, we also tackle the unpredictable nature of AI technology and its growing influence in today's world. From Google's Gemini chatbot to the nostalgic chaos of Ronald McDonald and the Holodomor's haunting legacy, our discussion invites listeners to engage with a blend of humor, curiosity, and critical analysis. We aim to entertain and provoke thought, encouraging you to question the narratives often taken for granted and explore the complex layers of history and society.

Hold onto your tinfoil hats, folks, because Chris Abraham is back with another mind-bending episode that's less a coherent discussion and more of a verbal pinball game. This week, Chris and his incredibly patient AI co-host, ChatGPT, attempt to tackle internalized misogyny and Kamala Harris. But as usual, they take so many detours into conspiracy-theory-land that you'll wonder if they took a wrong turn at the Area 51 gift shop. Podcast Description: Get ready for a wild ride through the tangled jungle of Chris Abraham's brain as he unleashes his unique brand of political commentary on the world. This week's episode features Chris's groundbreaking theory: Donald Trump, the man who once suggested we inject bleach, is actually a secret dove of peace just waiting to bring harmony to a chaotic world. Listen in awe as ChatGPT heroically tries to translate Chris's half-sentences and stream-of-consciousness ramblings into something vaguely resembling English. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question the fabric of reality itself. Show Notes: 0:00 - Chris Opens Strong: With a completely coherent thought about internalized misogyny and Kamala Harris... Just kidding! It devolves into a rambling exploration of everything BUT the original topic within minutes. 6:30 - Enter the Orange Dove: Chris unveils his theory that Trump is a misunderstood peacemaker, a diplomatic genius disguised as a Twitter-happy billionaire. It's like watching a pigeon try to fly a fighter jet – entertaining but terrifying at the same time. 12:15 - The Art of Not Being a Jerk (in Diplomacy): In a rare moment of lucidity, Chris actually makes a valid point about how constantly insulting other world leaders might not be the best way to achieve peace. Who knew? 19:45 - Ukraine: The Conspiracy Theorist's Playground: Chris goes full-on history buff (or conspiracy theorist, it's hard to tell sometimes) with his take on the Ukraine war. Expect a crash course on the Holodomor, Ashkenazi Jews, and enough historical tangents to make your head spin. 27:00 - BRICS: The Alphabet Soup of Global Domination: BRICS, BRICS, BRICS! Chris can't stop talking about BRICS. It's the new Illuminati, the New World Order, the [insert your favorite conspiracy theory here]. 34:10 - Please, Just Pick Up the Phone!: Chris waxes poetic about the importance of direct communication, reminiscing about the good old days of the red phone and how it almost certainly prevented World War III (probably). 41:20 - And They're Off!: Chris and ChatGPT finally cross the finish line of this conversational marathon, leaving listeners to piece together the fragments of what they just heard. FAQ: Is Chris Abraham feeling okay? Asking for a friend. Honestly, we're not sure. But hey, at least he's entertaining (in a car-crash-you-can't-look-away-from kind of way). Seriously, though, what was the point of this episode? We think it had something to do with internalized misogyny. Or maybe diplomacy. Or perhaps the secret lizard people controlling the world. Your guess is as good as ours. Do I need to wear a tinfoil hat while listening to this podcast? We highly recommend it. You never know when Chris might tap into your brainwaves. Glossary: BRICS: An acronym that Chris uses interchangeably with “global conspiracy,” “shadow government,” and “they.” Internalized Misogyny: Apparently, this was the starting point of the episode, but it got lost somewhere between a discussion about Trump's hair and the Illuminati. The CEO-President-Prime Minister Club: The most exclusive club in the world, where membership is granted only to those who've mastered the art of the deal (and possibly have compromising photos of Jeffrey Epstein). Red Phone: A magical device from a bygone era that allowed world leaders to communicate without resorting to passive-aggressive tweets. Ukraine: A country that, according to Chris, is at the center of every conspiracy theory ever conceived. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chrisabraham/support

While more young people in America and Western Europe embrace the allure of socialism as told by their indoctrinators within the public school system, academia and cultural outlets, its dark history of death, torture, hunger, poverty and devastation has been whitewashed in favor of the glamorization of this destructive philosophy - one which desperately relies upon the forced total compliance of its subjects. On this edition of The Truth Central, Dr. Jerome Corsi digs deeply into a major tool in Communist/Socialist/Marxist regimes' toolbelt: The use of starvation as a political weapon, throughout history and the manipulation of facts glorifying such authoritarianism today.This is an encore presentation - The Best of Dr. CorsiIf you like what we are doing, please support our Sponsors:Get RX Meds Now: https://www.getrxmedsnow.comMyVitalC https://www.thetruthcentral.com/myvitalc-ess60-in-organic-olive-oil/Swiss America: https://www.swissamerica.com/offer/CorsiRMP.phpGet Dr. Corsi's new book, The Assassination of President John F.

A committee of the Spanish Parliament recognized the Holodomor as genocide. The resolution calls on the Spanish government to recognize the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Ukraine as an act of genocide, to publicly honor the memory of the victims of those events. The committee also called on the Spanish government to continue economic, humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine. Meanwhile, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, canceled his planned visits to Portugal and Spain due to the difficult situation at the front. Earlier it was reported that Zelensky plans to visit Madrid on May 17 to sign with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez a bilateral agreement on security guarantees between Spain and Ukraine. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken met with President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv. The head of state emphasized the importance of the US participation in the Peace Summit, especially US President Joe Biden, and also asked for help in attracting as many countries as possible to the meeting. Anthony Blinken assured that the United States would continue to support Ukraine. - Комітет парламенту Іспанії визнав Голодомор геноцидом.

Також комітет закликав уряд Іспанії продовжити економічну, гуманітарну та військову допомогу Україні. Тим часом Президент України Володимир Зеленський скасував заплановані візити до Португалії та Іспанії через складну ситуацію на фронті. Раніше повідомлялося, що Зеленський планує відвідати Мадрид 17 травня, щоб підписати з прем'єром Педро Санчесом двосторонню угоду про безпекові гарантії між Іспанією та Україною. Держсекретар США Ентоні Блінкен зустрівся у Києві з Президентом Володимиром Зеленським. Глава держави наголосив на важливості участі США у саміті Миру, особливо Президента США Джо Байдена, а також попросив про допомогу в залучення якомога більшої кількості країн до зустрічі.

Content warning for discussion of genocide. Welcome to the first spisode of Have a Day! w/ The History Wizard. This episode will discuss the early days of the field of genocide, the process by which it became a crime undernational law, the life of Raphael Lemkin, in brief, and the first time a country was charged with this crime above all crimes Intro and outro music linked here: https://uppbeat.io/track/paulo-kalazzi/heros-time Episode Transcript to Follow: Hey, Hi, Hello. This is The History Wizard and thank you for joining me for the flagship episode of “Have a Day w/ The History Wizard”. As we embark on this journey together we're going to be talking about History, Politics, Economics, Cartoons, Video Games, Comics, and the points at which all of these topics intersect. Anyone who has been following me one Tiktok or Instagram, @thehistorywizard on Tiktok and @the_history_wizard on Instagram, for any length of time. Literally any length of time at all, will probably be familiar with some, if not all, of the information we're going to learn today. However, I hope that you'll bear with me as it is important to, before we dive into the meat of the matter, make sure we've got some bones to wrap it around… Yes, that is the metaphor I'm going to go with. I wrote it down in my script, read it, decided I liked it, and now you all have to listen to it. For our first episode we are going to be diving into one of my favorite parts of my field of expertise, meta knowledge concerning the field of genocide studies itself. Yes, that's right. We're going to start with the definition of genocide. The United Nations established the legal definition of genocide in the Convention for the Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide, which was unanimously adopted by the 51 founding members of the UN in the third meeting of the General Assemble and came into full legal force in 1951 after the 20th nation ratified it. This, by the way, is why none of the Nazis in the Nuremberg Trial were charged with the crime of genocide. The crime didn't exist when they were on trial. But, to return to the matter at hand, the definition of genocide can be found in Article 2 of the Convention for the Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide and reads as follows: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. It is important to note that definition of genocide that the UN adopted is not exactly the same as the definition that Lemkin first proposed to the UN. His definition included economic classes, as well as political parties. There was, significant, pushback against the inclusion of those two categories from the US and the USSR as both nations feared that their many of their own actions could be considered genocide. Lemkin didn't fight too hard for those categories to stay in the definition, he was more concerned with ethnicity, nationality, race, and religion for, what he called, their cultural carrying capacity. Now, despite Lemkin's concern over the destruction of cultures, there is no strict legal definition of cultural genocide. The inclusion of Article 2, subsection E: Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group, could be seen as a nod to this idea, but it's not nearly enough. There was some effort to rectify this oversight in 2007 with the passage of the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which states that indigenous peoples have a right against forcible assimilation. But even that is barely a step in the right direction as the UN DRIP is a legally non binding resolution making it little better than a suggestion. Now, where did the word genocide come from? Who made it and why? The term genocide was the brain child of a Polish-Jewish lawyer and Holocaust survivor named Raphael Lemkin. Now, despite Lemkin being a Holocaust survivor and term not gaining legal recognition until 1948, Lemkin actually based his work on the Armenian Genocide, what he originally called The Crime of Barbarity. Fun fact about Lemkin, he spoke 9 languages and could read 14. Anyway, after reading about the assassination of Talat Pasha in 1921. Talat was assassinated by Soghomon Telhirian as part of Operation Nemesis (he was put on trial for the assassination and was acquitted) After reading about the assassination Lemkin asked one of his professors at Jan Kazimierz University of Lwów (now the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv) why Talat was unable to be tried for his crimes before a court of law. The professor replied thusly: "Consider the case of a farmer who owns a flock of chickens. He kills them, and this is his business. If you interfere, you are trespassing." Lemkin replied, "But the Armenians are not chickens". His eventual conclusion was that "Sovereignty cannot be conceived as the right to kill millions of innocent people" In 1933 Lemkin made a presentation to the Legal Council of the League of Nations conference on international criminal law in Madrid, for which he prepared an essay on the Crime of Barbarity as a crime against international law. This is where the world would first encounter the word “genocide” a word that Lemkin had created by combining the Greek root ‘genos' meaning race or tribe, with the Latin root ‘cide' meaning killing. Lemkin was as a private solicitor in Warsaw in 1939 and fled as soon as he could. He managed to escape through Lithuania to Sweden where he taught at the University of Stockholm until he was, with the help of a friend, a Duke University law professor named Malcolm McDermott Lemkin was able to flee to the US. Unfortunately for Lemkin he lost 49 member of his family to the Holocaust. The only family that survived was his brother, Elias and his wife who had both been sent to a Soviet forced labor camp. Lemkin was able to help them both relocate to Montreal in 1948. After publishing his iconic book “Axis Rule in Occupied Europe” with the help of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Lemkin became an advisor for chief prosecutor of the Nuremberg Trials, Robert H. Jackson. It was during these trials that he became convinced, more than ever before, that this crime above all crimes needed a name and laws to prevent and punish it. Even after the passage of the Convention for the Punishment of the Crime of Genocide Lemkin didn't consider his work to be over. The UN was brand new and had little in the way of real authority (something that hasn't changed over the past 70 years). So Lemkin traveled around to world trying to get national governments to adopt genocide laws into their own body of laws. He worked with a team of lawyers from Arabic delegations to try and get France tried for genocide for their conduct in Algeria and wrote an article in 1953 on the “Soviet Genocide in Ukraine” what we know as the Holodomor, though Lemkin never used that term in his article. Lemkin lived the last years of his life in poverty in New York city. He died in 1959 of a heart attack, and his funeral, which occurred at Riverside Church in Manhattan, was attended by only a small number of his close friends. Lemkin is buried in Mount Hebron Cemetery in Flushing, Queens. The last thing I want to discuss in our first episode is the first country to be charged with the crime of genocide before the United Nations. As we have already established, despite the Holocaust being the western world's premiere example of genocide, no one at the Nuremberg Trials was tried for the crime of genocide. So who, I can hear you asking from the future, who was the first country charged with genocide? Why, dear listener, it was none other than the U S of A in a 1951 paper titled “We Charge Genocide, which was presented before the United Nations in Paris in 1951. The document pointed out that the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide defined genocide as any acts committed with "intent to destroy" a group, "in whole or in part." To build its case for black genocide, the document cited many instances of lynching in the United States, as well as legal discrimination, disenfranchisement of blacks in the South, a series of incidents of police brutality dating to the present, and systematic inequalities in health and quality of life. The central argument: The U.S. government is both complicit with and responsible for a genocidal situation based on the UN's own definition of genocide. The paper was supported by the American Communist Party and was signed by many famous personages such as: W. E. B. Du Bois, George W. Crockett, Jr., Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., Ferdinand Smith, Oakley C. Johnson, Aubrey Grossman, Claudia Jones, Rosalie McGee, Josephine Grayson, Amy and Doris Mallard, Paul Washington, Wesley R. Wells, Horace Wilson, James Thorpe, Collis English, Ralph Cooper, Leon Josephson, and William Patterson. It was Patterson who presented the paper and the signatures before the UN in 1951. The UN largely ignored Patterson and never deigned to hear his case against the US government. And upon his return journey Patterson was detained while passing through Britain and had his passport seized once he returned to the US. He was forbade to ever travel out of the country again. The history of the field of genocide studies is long, unfortunately, far longer than the existence of a word with a legal definition and laws to back it up. We'll be going through the history of genocide in future episode, interspersed with other historical events or pressing issues of great import as we take this educational journey together. I'm going to try and put an episode together once a week, and if that needs to change for any reason I will let you know. Next week, on March 26th, we'll be learning about the Gazan genocide and the vast amount of historical context that goes into this, currently occurring, genocide. I've been the History Wizard.

Weird History: The Unexpected and Untold Chronicles of History
The Holodomor was a Soviet state-induced famine in Ukraine between 1932 and 1933. For nearly two years, Joseph Stalin starved Ukraine in the name of feeding the Soviet Union. Literal tons of food went to waste, and millions of Ukrainians died as a result. The Holodomor, or "death by hunger," was a little-known genocide that struck right before the Holocaust. Yet, just like with the Holocaust, there is a disturbing amount of Holodomor denial, even in modern times. Only 16 countries worldwide have formally acknowledged that the tragedy was indeed a genocide, and the US is not one of them. President Barack Obama made a memorial speech in 2016, acknowledging "one of the most horrific man-made tragedies in modern history." The US Senate and Congress have passed resolutions declaring that “Joseph Stalin and those around him committed genocide against the Ukrainians in 1932-1933."

Publicado en medio de la guerra que sacude Europa desde el 24 de febrero de 2022, el libro Descubriendo Ucrania, su pueblo, su historia y su cultura llega en un momento crucial en esta difícil coyuntura que nos ha tocado vivir, donde el mundo está sumido en otra guerra y donde Ucrania está en el centro del fuego y del debate. Debate entorno a su existencia como pueblo, como nación y en su lucha de subsistencia contra la Rusia de Vladimir Putin y sus bombardeos. En español no existe otro libro como este y es por tal razón que le doy la bienvenida a esta importantísima contribución para el mundo hispano sobre la cultura, la religión, las muchas historias y lenguas sobre este país hasta hace poco menospreciado o marginado bajo las narrativas de la historia de Rusia. Más de quince autores forman parte de esta extensa faena y reto de presentarnos la diversidad cultural e histórica de las tierras que hoy conforman el estado de Ucrania, proveyendo una perspectiva desde sus múltiples grupos étnicos, armenios, judíos o griegos, su vasta historia desde la época de los orígenes de los pueblos eslavos hasta cubrir las oleadas migratorias de ese país hacia Latinoamérica. Este recuento aborda temas de gran controversia en su historia, como la represión soviética y la hambruna provocada por el gobierno de Stalin en los años treinta y conocida como el Holodomor, hasta el lugar de los rusoparlantes y el Donbás en el proyecto nacional de la Ucrania moderna. Disponible en formato abierto y de una lectura accesible para todo tipo de lector, pueden obtener una copia en PDF a través de la plataforma de la editorial en el siguiente enlace: https://usi.edu.ar/publicaciones/coleccion-periferias/page/2/ Manuel Férez Gil es candidato a doctorado en Sociología por la Universidad Alberto Hurtado de Santiago de Chile.

In 1935, miner Alexei Stakhanov became a hero of labor in the Soviet Union, and the Stakhanovite movement began. But what was touted as an organic step forward to greater productivity by Stalin was truly a carefully planned PR effort. Research: Applebaum, Anne. "Holodomor".

In 2022–2023, Ukraine commemorated the 90th anniversary of the Holodomor genocide. It comes at a time when Ukraine is facing a new struggle for its survival. Russia is committing a new genocide – with the full-scale war it launched in Feb-2022. Methods to suppress Ukrainian nationhood differ, - a man-made famine, terror, and deportation in the 1930, and war in the 21st century, but the intent remains the same – and the source of this misery is Russia once more. But the Ukrainian nation perseveres, and Ukrainians themselves seem to be irrepressible, resilient, inventive, and indomitable. ---------- Lesa Morgan is a Ukrainian Holodomor researcher based in Western Australia, writing about the period of Russian genocide from 1932-1933. She has always been passionate about Ukrainian history, and her latest project is based around eyewitness interviews. Since the full-scale war she has been fundraising for Ukraine as well as assisting those who have arrived in Perth Western Australia since the war began. ---------- LINKS: https://serenitypress.org/authors/lesa-melnyczuk/ https://www.ukrainiansinperth.com/2019-dr-lesa-melnyczuk-holodomor https://www.amazon.com/Books-Lesa-Melnyczuk/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ALesa+Melnyczuk https://www.uwa.edu.au/news/article/2022/december/new-scholarship-to-provide-an-opportunity-for-displaced-ukrainian-female-national-at-uwa https://www.waterstones.com/book/silent-memories-traumatic-lives/lesa-melnyczuk/9781459666733 https://ewjus.com/index.php/ewjus/article/view/679/342 https://store.museum.wa.gov.au/products/silent-memories-traumatic-lives ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- ARTICLES: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fiction/best-books-ukraine-russia-2023/ https://granta.com/soundscape-of-war/ https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2022/12/08/ukrainian-lessons-at-the-train-station-ada-wordsworth/ https://www.theoldie.co.uk/article/language-lessons-in-ukraine-ada-wordsworth ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyśl https://kharpp.com/ Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

L'"Holodomor", qui frappa l'Ukraine en 1932-1933, fut une effroyable tragédie. Le mot, qui peut se traduire par "faim", ou même, par extension, "extermination par la faim", désigne la terrible famine qui frappa alors cette République de l'URSS.Selon les chiffres donnés par les historiens, on peut estimer le nombre de victimes entre 2,5 et 5 millions. Par ailleurs, et même si cet aspect intentionnel est contesté par certains, il ne fait guère de doute que cette famine ait été sciemment voulue et organisée par Staline lui-même.C'est pourquoi l'Holodomor est souvent décrit comme un véritable génocide.Cette terrible famine a plusieurs causes. La première résulte de la volonté de Staline d'industrialiser le pays à marches forcées. Pour cela, il avait besoin d'équipements qu'il ne pouvait qu'importer de l'étranger.Pour en avoir les moyens, il décida d'exporter massivement les céréales cultivées en Ukraine, qui était alors un véritable grenier à blé pour l'URSS. Le tiers de ces céréales est vendu dès 1930, plus de 40 % l'année suivante. C'est autant de blé enlevé à la consommation des paysans ukrainiens.D'ailleurs Staline s'en méfie. Depuis l'instauration de la NEP par Lénine, au début des années 1920, qui avait réintroduit en partie la propriété privée, ces paysans assez prospères passaient pour des capitalistes aux yeux du dictateur soviétique.Et il les soupçonne d'autant plus que le peuple ukrainien, dans son ensemble, a réussi à préserver ses coutumes. Alors, pour faire cesser ce particularisme et ces velléités d'autonomie des paysans ukrainiens, Staline décide, au début des années 1930, de collectiviser l'agriculture.Mais la majorité des fermiers se rebellent contre cette suppression de la propriété privée. Une terrible répression s'abat alors sur eux. Elle se manifeste notamment par la confiscation de toutes leurs réserves de grains.Par ailleurs, les routes sont bloquées, empêchant les paysans de trouver du secours ailleurs. Le piège de la faim se referme alors sur eux. Privés de nourriture, des milliers de gens affamés meurent chez eux ou dans les rues. On signale même plusieurs cas de cannibalisme. Hébergé par Acast.

Sixteen year old Kalief Browder spent 700 days in solitary confinement over a backpack he didn't steal, and traitor to his country, former FBI agent Charles McGonigal, only got four years in prison for being on the payroll of the Russian mafia. That and Putin's end-of-the-year speech to Russians, promising to destroy and occupy all of Ukraine, are discussed in this week's bonus episode. Joining us for urgent insights into how to navigate this all-to-familiar time of growing fascism is media historian Ray Gamache, a leading biographer of Gareth Jones, the hero of Mr. Jones, the film inspired by Jones' groundbreaking reporting on Stalin. Jones also reported from Hitler's Germany, where he warned that Hitler and his “primitive” mobs of supporters were going to transform not just Germany, but the fate of Europe. Gamache is the author of Gareth Jones: Eyewitness to the Holodomor and Gareth Jones: On Assignment in Nazi Germany 1933-34 To our supporters at the Democracy Defender level and higher, send in your questions for our Q&As.

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Anne Applebaum is back on Gaslit Nation in Part II of a discussion that spans what comes after Putin, why it seems like Russia is behind so much destabilization around the world, and why the Holodomor, Stalin's 1933 genocide famine in Ukraine, matters today. Applebaum is the author of Gulag, Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism, and Red Famine: Stalin's War on Ukraine, which cites survivor testimony that Andrea's grandfather provided the U.S. Congressional investigation of the famine. That interview begins at 32:16 of this week's episode. While the Israeli government reportedly approved a deal for a limited hostage exchange with Hamas and a temporary pause, the opening commentary includes a look at Russia's nodes in its war against the democratic alliance, including Musk and Thiel, Netanyahu's extreme far-right coalition, and Hamas, and shares solutions on how to strengthen our national security against these 21st century threats. The opening discussion celebrates the Mother of Thanksgiving: poet, novelist, journalist, abolitionist Sarah Josepha Hale, and women on the frontlines everywhere campaigning for human rights. We see you, and we're grateful for you. Thank you to everyone who does whatever they can, wherever they are, to strengthen our democracy.

Janelle Kandziora of Janelle's Interiors is featured on the cover of this Winter issue of Ojai Quarterly with her lead designer Erin Bernthal. She talks about how she brought her varied experiences to the range of residential and commercial properties on which they ply their trade. As Ojai has long been a laboratory in the art of living, this timely and relevant conversation hits home. She shares insights in what brings happiness to your environment, the mix of materials, textures, surfaces and colors that form the palette of design. Kandziora talks about her journey from an art student, dreaming of a career in teaching, to a chance encounter with her husband's hotel designer that led the flourishing career in, first Minnesota, then Palm Springs, then Ojai. We also talked about feng shui, Marie Kondo's Magic Art of Tidying, architectural styles, being "house therapists" and raising kids in Ojai. We did not talk about candlemaking, the Balfour Declaration or the Holodomor. Check out Janelle's and Erin's work at ... https://www.janelleinteriors.com/

And an important voice will join the show to explain how to build a union, especially when you're up against corporate gaslighting and intimidation tactics. Today's bonus episode is shaped by questions and comments from listeners subscribed at the Democracy Defender level and higher, including how opportunistic China benefits from the Israel-Hamas War and the nefarious Chinese connections to American protest group Code Pink, revealing a vast pro-China network on the global Left. China, Code Pink, and the sex trafficking network of Hefner-Epstein-Trump, and more are discussed in this week's bonus show. If you didn't hear your question answered this week, look out for it next week, as the Gaslit Nation Q&A continues. Dictators are dangerous for many reasons, especially because, as the social ills grow, they need a war to cling to power. Putin needed a war to maintain the status quo, and so did Netanyahu. In China, it's increasingly dangerous for social media users to expose poverty or other crises, like youth unemployment or how difficult it can be for many to put food on the table. With US foreign policy stretched thin by the war in Ukraine and Israel-Hamas, now would be an opportune time for China, which has been aggressively building up its nuclear program and A.I. arsenal, to annex Taiwan, something Xi has been outspoken about since consolidating power in 2017. Technologically dominant groups get away with carrying out genocides. So a technologically dominant China would be a danger to the world. Chatham House, the independent British think tank where in 1933 Gareth Jones shared his eye-witness account of the Holodomor, Stalin's genocide-famine in Ukraine, invited Andrea to join a Twitter Live discussion this coming Wednesday November 8 at 10:30am EST. Catch that discussion by going to the Chatham House Twitter account at that time.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 116 You have probably heard of "Net Zero," the unrealistically ambitious target of having no net greenhouse gas emissions by some point in the relatively near future (2030, maybe 2050 at the latest). A report filed in 2019 by the prestigious government-funded UK organization of engineers and scientists, UK FIRES (https://ukfires.org/), thinks Net Zero is not enough and is pushing for an insanely aggressive program called "Absolute Zero" (https://ukfires.org/absolute-zero/), absolutely zero emissions by 2050. What does it entail? Among other things, no flights, no container shipping, no red meat consumption, no cement, no new steel production, and no fossil fuel use for any reason, even plastics, by 2050. How do they expect this to be possible? Draconian governmental action combined with drastic semi-voluntary reductions in individual quality of life for all citizens. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads the Executive Summary of the UK FIRES "Absolute Zero" report [pdf (https://newdiscourses.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/REP_Absolute_Zero_V3_20200505.pdf), hosted by Cambridge University, by the way] to expose the unworkable, catastrophic insanity of their zero-emissions program in the UK and beyond, warning that it sets the stage for a Western Holodomor.
