Facebook’s Public Policy Manager for Ukraine Kateryna Kruk’s Nazi and Fascist Manifestations

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 5, 2019 ⋅ Post a comment

In FTR #1074, we high­light­ed Face­book’s appoint­ment of Katery­na Kruk to be its Pub­lic Pol­i­cy Man­ag­er in Ukraine. Kruk is very close to the Atlantic Coun­cil, which was effec­tive­ly posi­tioned by Face­book to han­dle its man­age­ment of “Fake News.” The Atlantic Coun­cil is a foun­da­tion­al ele­ment of the push for a new Cold War and has pro­found links to both U.S. intel­li­gence and the fascist/Nazi milieu that grew out of the Rein­hard Gehlen spy orga­ni­za­tion. In addi­tion to hav­ing worked with Svo­bo­da dur­ing the Euro­maid­an protests, Kruk has man­i­fest­ed oth­er Nazi and fas­cist affil­i­a­tions: 1.) In 2014, she tweet­ed that a man had asked her to con­vince his grand­son not to join the Azov Bat­tal­ion, a neo-Nazi mili­tia. “I couldn’t do it,” she said. “I thanked that boy and blessed him.” And he then trav­eled to Luhan­sk to fight pro-Russ­ian rebels. 2.) In March 2018, a 19-year neo-Nazi named Andriy “Dil­ly” Krivich was shot and killed by a sniper. Krivich–pictured above, at right–had been fight­ing with the fas­cist Ukrain­ian group Right Sec­tor, and had post­ed pho­tos on social media wear­ing Nazi Ger­man sym­bols. After he was killed, Kruk tweet­ed an homage to the teenage Nazi. (The Nazi was also lion­ized on Euro­maid­an Press’ Face­book page.) 3.) Kruk has staunch­ly defend­ed the use of the slo­gan “Sla­va Ukraini,”which was first coined and pop­u­lar­ized by Nazi-col­lab­o­rat­ing fas­cists, and is now the offi­cial salute of Ukraine’s army. 4.) She has also said that the Ukrain­ian fas­cist politi­cian Andriy Paru­biy, who co-found­ed a neo-Nazi par­ty before lat­er becom­ing the chair­man of Ukraine’s par­lia­ment the Rada, is “act­ing smart,” writ­ing, “Paru­biy touche.” . . . .

We have not­ed the pho­to of Bara­boo, Wis­con­sin high school stu­dents giv­ing the Nazi salute at their junior prom Now, Bara­boo Ukrain­ian-Amer­i­can youth have erect­ed stat­ues of Ukrain­ian pogromist Simonon Petlu­ra (translit­er­at­ed spellings vary), along with Ukrain­ian Nazi lead­ers Roman Shukhevych and Stephan Ban­dera.


The CIA and Fox News Background of Trump’s New Minister of Truth

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ February 15, 2019 ⋅ Post a comment

The State Depart­men­t’s “Min­istry of Truth” is going to be head­ed by a Fox News and CIA vet­er­an, Lea Gabrielle. Designed to neu­tral­ize what the Pow­ers That Be deem to be for­eign pro­pa­gan­da, the bland­ly-named Glob­al Engage­ment Cen­ter has been exem­pli­fied by its attempts to por­tray as “Russ­ian dis­in­for­ma­tion” the ver­i­fi­ably Nazi char­ac­ter and polit­i­cal her­itage of the OUN/B suc­ces­sor orga­ni­za­tions wield­ing the police, edu­ca­tion­al and nation­al secu­ri­ty reins in Ukraine. ” . . . . Gabrielle, who begins her job on Feb. 11, was described to reporters by deputy spokesman Robert Pal­ladi­no on Thurs­day as ‘a for­mer CIA-trained human intel­li­gence oper­a­tions offi­cer, defense for­eign liai­son offi­cer, Unit­ed States Navy pro­gram direc­tor, Navy F/A‑18C fight­er pilot, and nation­al tele­vi­sion news cor­re­spon­dent and anchor at two dif­fer­ent net­works. . . .” Cur­rent Sec­re­tary of State Mike Pom­peo was for­mer­ly head of the CIA.


More Pro-Nazi B.S. from “The New York Times” With Regard to Ukraine and the Russia-Gate Psy-Op

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ January 18, 2019 ⋅ Post a comment

A “New York Times” arti­cle spun the pres­ence of Ukrain­ian pow­er bro­kers Ser­hii Lovochkin (also translit­er­at­ed as Ser­hiy Lyovochkin) and Andrii Arte­menko at Trump’s inau­gu­ra­tion as prov­ing “Russ­ian” col­lab­o­ra­tion. In FTR #967, we doc­u­ment­ed that Arte­menko net­worked with Trump’s spook point man Felix Sater in an ANTI-Russ­ian con­spir­a­cy, as well as the fact that Arte­menko was a mem­ber of Pravy Sek­tor, one of the OUN/B suc­ces­sor orga­ni­za­tions that came to pow­er through the Maid­an coup. The “Gray Lady” pre­dictably failed to note that fact. In FTR #1022, we not­ed that Lovochkin and his sis­ter are deeply impli­cat­ed as col­lab­o­ra­tors of Man­afort in the Maid­an sniper provo­ca­tion which brought Pravy Sek­tor, Svo­bo­da, the Azov Bat­tal­ion milieu and the oth­er OUN/B suc­ces­sor orga­ni­za­tions to pow­er in Ukraine.We fur­ther doc­u­ment­ed this con­nec­tion in FTR #1023.


John Conyers Co-Sponsored House Resolution Condemning Narendra Modi for Promoting Nazi Ideology in Textbooks

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ September 3, 2018 ⋅ Post a comment

In FTR #1015, we not­ed the issu­ing of school text­books glo­ri­fy­ing Nazism while Naren­dra Modi head­ed the Indi­an state of Gujarat. In FTR #998, among oth­er pro­grams, we not­ed John Cony­ers’ active oppo­si­tion to the OUN/B suc­ces­sor orga­ni­za­tions in pow­er in Ukraine, and his ouster by the #MeToo move­ment, which dis­plays symp­to­matic fea­tures of an “op.” Of par­tic­u­lar inter­est is the appar­ent role of far right blog­ger Mike “Misog­y­ny Gets You Laid” Cernovich–an inter­est­ing per­son to sig­nal the destruc­tion of one of the few active­ly anti-fas­cist law­mak­ers by on osten­si­bly “pro­gres­sive” polit­i­cal move­ment. It is inter­est­ing and sig­nif­i­cant that Modi also co-spon­sored a House Res­o­lu­tion con­demn­ing Mod­i’s sup­port for Nazi racism and ide­ol­o­gy. ” . . . . The spon­sor, Rep. John Cony­ers (D‑MI) said the State Depart­ment ‘has dis­cussed the role of Modi and his gov­ern­ment in pro­mot­ing atti­tudes of racial suprema­cy, racial hatred, and the lega­cy of Nazism through his government’s sup­port of school text­books in which Nazism is glo­ri­fied.’ The res­o­lu­tion said Modi revised school text­books, which men­tioned the ‘charis­mat­ic per­son­al­i­ty of Hitler the Supre­mo’ and failed to acknowl­edge the hor­rors of the Holo­caust. . . .” Worth not­ing in this con­text is the fact that Pierre Omid­yar active­ly assist­ed the rise of both the OUN/B fas­cists in Ukraine and Mod­i’s BJP/RSS fas­cists in India, as dis­cussed in FTR #889.


Ustachi and the ABN at the World Cup

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 16, 2018 ⋅ One comment

The Croa­t­ian foot­ball [soc­cer] team gave voice to Ustachi and OUN/B fas­cist ide­ol­o­gy in the World Cup match­es being held in Rus­sia. ” . . . . The Pres­i­dent of the Croa­t­ian Foot­ball Asso­ci­a­tion, Davor Šuk­er. . . . had even been pho­tographed in 1996 at the grave site of Ustaša Fuehrer Ante Pavelić.[5] . . . . Even before the Croa­t­ian play­er Domagoj Vida’s remarks became known, one of his team­mates staged a provo­ca­tion, by refer­ring pos­i­tive­ly to his coun­try’s fas­cist past dur­ing the World Cup in Rus­sia. Fol­low­ing the Croa­t­ian team’s vic­to­ry over the Argen­tine team, Dejan Lovren enthu­si­as­ti­cal­ly chimed in a song of the Croa­t­ian singer ‘Thomp­son’ that starts with the words ‘Za dom — sprem­ni!’ (‘For the Home­land — Ready!’).[1] This had been the slo­gan of Nazi Ger­many’s col­lab­o­ra­tor Ustaša fas­cist move­ment, which had ruled the Croa­t­ian state between 1941 and 1945 and par­tic­i­pat­ed in the Holo­caust. . . . Fol­low­ing Croa­t­i­a’s vic­to­ry over the Russ­ian team, a video clip emerged show­ing the Croa­t­ian play­er ded­i­cat­ing his team’s vic­to­ry to the Ukraine, while chant­i­ng ‘Glo­ry to the Ukraine!’[2] This is a slo­gan of anoth­er of the Nazi col­lab­o­ra­tors — the Orga­ni­za­tion of Ukrain­ian Nation­al­ist (OUN). . . . the OUN par­tic­i­pat­ed in the Holo­caust and mur­dered over 90,000 Poles, and thou­sands of Jews. ‘Glo­ry to Ukraine! Glo­ry to the Heroes’ (‘Slawa Ukrai­ni! Hero­jam slawa!’) was their pop­u­lar greet­ing. On the same video clip, the Croa­t­ian assis­tant coach Ogn­jen Vuko­je­vić added: ‘This vic­to­ry is for Dynamo [Kiev] and Ukraine.’ Both the OUN/B and the Ustachi main­tained pro­found links to the Gehlen “Org” and, through that, the CIA and BND in the post-World II peri­od. The Ustachi have been part of the GOP since the imme­di­ate post-war peri­od. The Vat­i­can has also been instru­men­tal in main­tain­ing the Ustacha pres­ence on the world stage.


Key EuroMaidan Coup Player Had Insider Information on DNC “Hack” Before Senior Democratic Officials

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 25, 2018 ⋅ Post a comment

Ukrain­ian Maid­an Coup orga­niz­er Vic­to­ria Nuland knew about sup­posed Russ­ian “hacks” of the DNC months before senior Demo­c­ra­t­ic Par­ty offi­cials were so informed. In FTR #943, we not­ed the Ukrain­ian fas­cist links to the sup­posed con­fir­ma­tion of the “Russ­ian” author­ship of the “hacks.” We fur­ther devel­oped the Urkain­ian fas­cist link to the sup­posed con­fir­ma­tion of the “Russ­ian” hacks in FTR #981. Giv­en Nuland’s strong links to the OUN/B suc­ces­sor orga­ni­za­tions in pow­er in Ukraine, it is rea­son­able to ask if she may have involved them in the U.S. “response” to the Russ­ian “hacks.”


Pravy Sektor Hit Man in “Russian” Assassination Plot

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ June 6, 2018 ⋅ Post a comment

We are being told that Russ­ian intel­li­gence plot­ted to kill an anti-Russ­ian jour­nal­ist Arkady Babchenko. Turns out the hit­man was a Pravy Sek­tor vet­er­an hired by the Ukrain­ian ser­vice. We are told that this was alleged­ly a counter-intel­li­gence gam­bit. Note that in past dis­cus­sion of the SBU, Ukrain­ian intel­li­gence, we not­ed that: Valen­tyn Naly­vaichenko Ukrain­ian intel­li­gence chief fol­low­ing the Orange Rev­o­lu­tion of 2004 and after the Maid­an coup, was very close to Pravy Sek­tor and ran the SBU along the lines of the OUN/B World War II fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion that was a Third Reich ally. The SBU oper­a­tive in charge of the “inves­ti­ga­tion” of the MH17 shoot­down called for the destruc­tion of Ukraine’s Jews.


Nazi Militias Assume Municipal Security Duties in Ukraine

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ April 4, 2018 ⋅ One comment

The Kiev city gov­ern­ment recent­ly signed an agree­ment giv­ing C14 – the mili­tia lit­er­al­ly named after the white suprema­cist ’14 words’ slo­gan – the right to estab­lish a “munic­i­pal guard” to patrol the streets there. ” . . . . But con­nec­tions between law enforce­ment agen­cies and extrem­ists give Ukraine’s West­ern allies ample rea­son for con­cern. C14 and Kiev’s city gov­ern­ment recent­ly signed an agree­ment allow­ing C14 to estab­lish a “munic­i­pal guard” to patrol the streets; three such mili­tia-run guard forces are already reg­is­tered in Kiev, and at least 21 oper­ate in oth­er cities. . . .”


The #MeToo Movement Missed This One: “You Fucking Communist Cunt, Get Out of Here!” (Richard Mellon Scaife’s Directive to a “Columbia Journalism Review” Reporter, Related by Al Franken)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 8, 2017 ⋅ 2 comments

Even before becom­ing a Sen­a­tor, Al Franken would have been a tar­get for the far right/GOP, hav­ing sur­faced details such as the stri­dent­ly misog­y­nis­tic assault by GOP finan­cial king­pin Richard Mel­lon Scaife: “You fuck­ing Com­mu­nist cunt, get out of here,” he said to Karen Roth­my­er of the ‘Colum­bia Jour­nal­ism Review.’ He went on to tell her that she was ugly and that her teeth were ‘ter­ri­ble.’ Of Ms. Roth­my­er’s moth­er, who was not present, he said, ‘She’s ugly, too.’ Sens­ing that it was time to wrap up the inter­view, Ms. Roth­my­er thanked Scaife for his time. He bade her farewell with a cheery ‘Don’t look behind you.’ . . . .” Leeann Twee­den worked for GOP/right-wing echo cham­ber Fox News [sports] for years, in addi­tion to mod­el­ing for Play­boy. Franken’s down­fall was sig­naled by long-time GOP and Don­ald Trump dirty trick­ster Roger Stone. John Cony­ers was a lead­ing Con­gres­sion­al crit­ic of the Nazi Azov Bat­tal­ion. Cony­ers’ down­fall was sig­naled by “Alt-Right” lumi­nary Mike Cer­novich.
