“Political language…is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”
— George Orwell, 1946

Celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the 14th Waffen SS Division in Lviv, Ukraine in summer of 2018. Uighur “genocide expert” Adrian Zenz was minted from this political heritage and milieu.
COMMENT: Orwell rules–still. Making lies sound truthful and giving the appearance of solidity to pure wind is very much “a happening thing” with regard to Peng Shuai.
In addition to the much ballyhooed and readily verifiably baseless claim that Peng Shuai accused Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault, the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing are being compared to the 1936 Olympics in Germany.
This is grotesquely ironic for a number of overlapping reasons:
- In the United States, the “Nazi Olympics” are remembered for the triumph of African-American track star Jesse Owens, conceptualized as refutation of the “Aryan Supremacy” doctrine espoused by Hitler.
- In Germany, however, Owens’ triumph was attributed to the remarkable track shoes he wore during the events, made by the German shoe company owned by Adolf and Rudolf Dassler. It was those shoes, according to the Nazis, that permitted the “subhuman/under mensch” Owens to be victorious.
- Both of the Dassler brothers were ardent Nazis. Rudolph was alleged to be Gestapo. The institutional ambiguities of U.S. “de-Nazification” proceedings have rendered the truth about their Nazism historically opaque. After the war, Adolf got control of the family shoe business, renamed “Adidas” after Adolf’s nickname “Adi” and the first syllable of his last name. Rudolf established another huge, internationally-renowned sporting company–Puma.
- Two Jewish-American sprinters–Marty Glickman and Sam Stoller–were pulled from the event at the last minute, apparently so as not to embarrass the doctrinaire anti-Semite Hitler.
- The coach of the U.S. track team who pulled Glickman and Stoller–Avery Brundage–later became head of the IOC and is widely viewed as a Nazi sympathizer and racist. ” . . . . [Brundage] developed a reputation as a Nazi sympathizer and a white supremacist. Brundage, who died in 1975, opposed the boycott of the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin and advocated for the America First movement, which was against the United States’ entry in World War II. The museum benefactor also expelled African American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos from the 1968 Olympic Games after they famously raised their fists in solidarity with the Black Power movement during the medal ceremony. . . .”
- The allegation that Chinese “persecution” of the Uighurs is tantamount to Hitler’s racist policies is, as Orwell put it, “pure wind.” Ironically so, in that Adrian Zenz, chief promulgator of the “genocide claim” derives his gravitas from his status as working for the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, an offshoot of the Captive Nations Committee, co-founded by Yaroslav Stetsko [spellings vary–D.E.], wartime head of the OUN/B collaborationist government of Ukraine.
- IOC head Thomas Bach’s rise in the world of sport owed much to his long involvement with Adidas.
- Women’s Tennis Association chief Steve Simon–who announced a WTA moratorium on playing in China–rose to his position of prominence, in part, through his association with Adidas.
. . . . On Twitter, the former champion and activist Billie Jean King said that the organization was “on the right side of history.” She added, “This is another reason why women’s tennis is the leader in women’s sports.”. . .
. . . . Now it (the International Olympic Committee) is taking its marquee winter event to China, a move that many critics are now comparing to one of the darkest chapters in the history of the modern Olympics — the staging of the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin, an event that Adolf Hitler leveraged as propaganda for his fascist Nazi rule of Germany. . . .

. . . . The second key factor for the shoe firm in the early 1930s was the role sport played in the racial-nationalist philosophy of Hitler. With the rise of the National Socialist German Workers Party, athletic teamwork was prioritized. The Dassler brothers did not fail to see how their economic interest would benefit from politics; all three Dassler brothers joined the Nazi Party on 1 May 1933—three months after Hitler was appointed Chancellor.[16] Rudolf was said to be most ardent believer of the three.[2] But it was Adi who decided that becoming a coach of and supplier to clubs in the Hitler Youth movement was essential to expanded production, and he joined in 1935. . . .
. . . . Several weeks before 19 January 1945, when the Soviets overran Tuschin (which then reverted to its original name, Tuszyn) and decimated his unit, Rudolf had fled to Herzogenaurach (where a doctor provided him a certificate of military incapacity owing to a frozen foot). The now-defunct unit had been folded into the Schutzstaffel (SS). The sources for what Rudolf did between his desertion from Tuschin and the funeral of Rudolf’s and Adi’s father on 4 April 1945 is among the disputed records in the American denazification panels. On the day after the funeral he was arrested and taken to the Bärenschanze prison run by the Gestapo in Nürnberg. He remained there until the Allied liberation in early May. . . .
. . . . On 25 July 1945, about two months after the arrival of U.S. troops, Rudolf was arrested by the American occupation authorities, on suspicion that he worked for the Sicherheitsdienst (the secret service of the Reichsführer-SS commonly known as the SD) engaged in counterespionage and censorship, and was sent to an internment camp in Hammelburg. . . .
. . . . He noted that both Rudolf’s wife and his brother Adi testified that Rudolf worked for the Gestapo.[41] . . .
. . . . Before Rudolf was released, Adi himself had to appear before the denazification panel. The result was announced on 13 July 1946: Adi was declared a Belasteter, the second most serious category of Nazi offenders, which included profiteers, and subjected the convict up to 10 years in prison . . . .
