In the May issue of Free Speech, I discussed he
mass murder of the leadership stratum of the Polish nation by the Soviet secret
police in the Katyn Forest in April 1940. We discussed that genocidal atrocity
in the light of the ongoing Jewish campaign to portray Jews as the principal
victims of the Second World War. A good deal of interest in that article was
expressed by readers, many of whom had not been acquainted previously with the
facts of the Katyn atrocity. I will now explore this general subject further.
Here is some information about the fate of the Ukrainian nation at the hands of
the Soviet secret police.
In 1943 Germany
was at war against the Soviet Union. Twenty-five years earlier, at the end of
the First World War, when communist revolutionaries were attempting to take
over Germany, Adolf Hitler had sworn to devote his life to fighting communism.
He was only a corporal at the time, recuperating from his war wounds in a
military hospital, but 15 years later, in 1933, he became chancellor of
Germany, and in 1941 his army invaded the Soviet Union with the aim of
destroying Soviet communism. The German Army pushed far into the Soviet empire
and liberated all of Ukraine from the communists.
In May 1943
units of the German Army were stationed in the Ukrainian city of Vinnitsa, a community
of 100,000 persons in a primarily agricultural district. Ukrainian officials in
Vinnitsa told the Germans that five years earlier the NKVD -- the Soviet secret
police, very similar to our FBI -- had buried the bodies of a number of
executed political prisoners in a city park. The Germans investigated, and
within a month they had dug up 9,439 corpses from a number of mass graves in
the park and a nearby orchard.
Unlike the
Poles murdered in the Katyn Forest, all of these bodies found at Vinnitsa were
those of civilians, most of them Ukrainian farmers or workers. The bodies of
the men all had their hands tied behind their backs, like the Polish officers
at Katyn. Although the men's bodies were clothed, the bodies of a number of
young women were naked. All of the victims had been shot in the back of the
neck with a .22 caliber pistol, the trademark of the NKVD executioners.
The Germans
called in an international team of forensic pathologists to examine the bodies
and the mass graves. The international team, which included pathologists from
Belgium, France, Netherlands, and Sweden, as well as from several countries
allied with Germany, examined 95 mass graves and conducted a number of
autopsies.
Including the
autopsies already performed by Ukrainian medical personnel in Vinnitsa, 1,670
of the corpses were examined in detail. The identities of 679 of them were
established either through documents found in their clothes or through
recognition by relatives, who flocked to Vinnitsa from the surrounding countryside
when they heard that the graves had been uncovered.
The authorities
estimated that in addition to the 9,439 bodies exhumed, there were another
3,000 still in unopened mass graves in the same area. The international team
concluded that all of the victims had been killed about five years earlier --
that is, in 1938. Relatives of the victims who were identified all testified
that the victims had been arrested by the NKVD in 1937 and 1938. The relatives
had been told that those arrested were "enemies of the people" and
would be sent to Siberia for 10 years. None of the relatives had any idea what
the reason was for the arrests and testified that those arrested had committed
no crimes and were engaged in no political activity. As I said earlier, nearly
all of the victims were farmers or workers, although there were a few priests
and civil servants among them.
By interviewing
a large number of people who had some knowledge of what had happened in
Vinnitsa and the surrounding region in 1938, the Germans were able to piece
together the following picture. In 1937 and 1938 gangs of the NKVD's jackbooted
thugs roamed the villages and towns of Ukraine, arresting people in a pattern
that seemed almost random to observers. One victim's wife reported that as the
NKVD goons dragged her husband away they said only, "Hey, you dog! You've
lived too long." Other observers thought they saw a pattern. A Ukrainian
who was renting a part of his house to a Jewish lawyer refused to sell the
whole house to the Jew when he offered to buy it at an unreasonably low price.
A few weeks later the Ukrainian homeowner was arrested by the NKVD. Another
Ukrainian who had threatened to beat up a minor communist functionary who made
a crude pass at his sister was arrested shortly thereafter. It seemed that many
of the arrests were the settling of personal scores and that anyone who had
crossed a Jew was especially likely to be arrested.
All of this was
nothing new for Ukrainians. They had borne the brunt of the communization of
the Soviet Union for nearly two decades. Ukraine was primarily an agricultural
nation, a nation of farmers and villagers, and as such was regarded with
suspicion by the Jews and the urban rabble who filled the ranks of the
Communist Party. The communists championed the urban workers, but they wasted
no love on farmers and villagers, who tended to be too independent and self-sufficient
for communist tastes.
During the
civil war which followed the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the Ukrainians
wanted to opt out. Ukrainian nationalists wanted no part of the Soviet Union.
In 1921 and 1922 the Red Army occupied Vinnitsa, and Ukrainians were butchered
wholesale by the Reds in order to kill the Ukrainian nationalist spirit. The
craving for Ukrainian independence nevertheless kept flaring up, and further
massacres followed, notably in 1928.
Ukraine was the
stronghold of the kulaks, the independent farmers and small landowners, always
regarded with special hatred by the communist bosses. Stalin gave the job of
exterminating the kulaks to his right-hand man in the Kremlin, Lazar Moiseivich
Kaganovich, known later as the "Butcher of Ukraine." Kaganovich, the
most powerful Jew in the Soviet Union, supervised the collectivization of
Ukrainian farms, beginning in 1929. To break the spirit of the kulaks, Ukraine
was subjected to an artificial famine. The NKVD and Red Army troops went from farm
to farm, confiscating crops and livestock. The farmers were told that the food
was needed for the workers in the cities. None was left for the farmers. And in
1933 and 1934 seven million Ukrainians died of starvation, while Kaganovich
watched and gloated from the Kremlin.
Perhaps in 1937
and 1938 the bosses in the Kremlin simply thought that it was time to apply the
lash to the Ukrainians again. In any event, the NKVD was given the task this
time. The NKVD was even more Jewish than the rest of the Soviet communist
apparatus. The commissar of the NKVD until September 1936 had been the Jew
Genrikh Yagoda, and he had staffed his instrument of terror and repression with
Jews at every level. And those who were not Jews were the worst sort of Russian
and Ukrainian rabble, the resentful louts and ne'er-do-wells who saw in
communism a way to get even with their betters. In any event, the Ukrainians
were fully aware of the preponderance of Jews in the secret police, and they
suspected that there was a Jewish angle to the pattern of arrests in 1937 and
1938. And indeed, it did seem as if the Talmudic injunction to "kill the
best of the Gentiles" were being followed, for those who were arrested
seemed to be the most solid, steadiest, reliable, and irreproachable of the
Ukrainians.
Thirty thousand
were arrested in the Vinnitsa region alone, and most of these eventually were
sent to the NKVD prison in the city of Vinnitsa. This prison had a normal
capacity of 2,000 prisoners, but during 1937 and 1938 it was packed most of the
time with more than 18,000 prisoners. Throughout much of 1938 a few dozen
prisoners were taken from the prison each night and driven to a nearby NKVD
motor pool area. There their hands were tied behind their backs and they were
led, one at a time, a few hundred feet to a concrete slab in front of a garage.
The slab was used for washing vehicles, and it had a drain at one side with an
iron grating over it. Just as the prisoners reached the edge of the slab they
were shot in the back of the neck, so that when they fell onto the concrete
their blood would run into the drain. This was what the NKVD men jokingly
called "mokrii rabota" -- "wet work" -- and they had had
plenty of experience at "wet work." A truck parked next to the slab
kept its engine racing so that the noise of the engine would cover the sound of
the shots. While the next prisoner was being led up, a couple of NKVD men would
throw the corpse of the previous prisoner into the truck. When the night's
quota of victims had been murdered the truck would drive off with its load of
corpses to the fenced-in park or to the nearby orchard, where new graves
already were waiting. And this "wet work" went on night after night,
month after month.
So why is this
gruesome story important to us now? After all, this massacre of Ukrainians in
Vinnitsa took place 60 years ago. I'll tell you why it's still important to us,
aside from the fact that these Ukrainians were our people, our kinfolk, part of
our race.
First, you
might ask yourself why you have never before heard about Vinnitsa, and I'm sure
that's the case for about 99 per cent of you. Of course, Alexander Solzhenitsyn
wrote about what happened at Vinnitsa, in the third volume of his Gulag
Archipelago, but you're not likely to find that in the rack at the checkout
counter. And Ukrainians and Germans have written about it, although for the
most part their writings have never been published in English, because
publishers in this country understand that it would be Politically Incorrect to
publish anything about Vinnitsa. Much better that people just forget about it.
Isn't that odd,
though, when we continually hear so much about Auschwitz? Isn't it odd that
when Jewish groups are using their political influence to have laws passed in a
number of states requiring high school students to take courses about the
so-called "Holocaust," what happened at Katyn or at Vinnitsa is never
mentioned in high school? The excuse given for requiring students to study the
so-called "Holocaust" is that it was the greatest crime in history, and
we should know about it so that we won't repeat it. But then why shouldn't we
learn about Katyn, Vinnitsa, Dresden, and a thousand other atrocities where our
people were the victims, and so the lesson should be even more pertinent for
us?
We all know the
answers to these questions, but I just want you to think about their
significance. To Jews, Auschwitz is important because Jews died there, and
Vinnitsa is not important, because only Gentiles were killed there. And the
media bosses are, of course, mostly Jews. They keep rubbing our noses in
Auschwitz, because they want us to feel guilty, they want us to feel that we
owe the Jews something for letting it happen. The Jewish media bosses never
mention Vinnitsa because Jews were the guilty ones there. Besides, they make a
lot of money by promoting the "Holocaust." It's certainly not going
to help their profits to divide the attention and the sympathy of the American
public between Auschwitz and Vinnitsa. And it's certainly not going to help
their effort to extort billions of dollars in "Holocaust" reparations
from the Swiss and from everyone else to admit their own guilt at Katyn and
Vinnitsa.
If Poles
controlled the news and entertainment media in America, we'd hear a great deal
more about Katyn, I suspect. If Germans controlled our media we'd hear much
more about the terror bombing of Dresden. And if Ukrainians controlled our
media, every high school student would know about Vinnitsa. But it's the Jews
who control our media, and so all we hear about is Auschwitz: never even a
whisper about Vinnitsa. That's important. We ought to be concerned about that.
We ought to be concerned whenever any part of our history is suppressed, is
hidden from us. We ought to find out why. It might help us to make sure that what
happened to us at Vinnitsa never happens to us again.
I'm sure that
you've all heard the maxim that the best defense is a strong offense. Do you
remember the persecution all through the 1980s of John Demjanjuk, the retired
Cleveland auto worker whom the Jews accused of being "Ivan the
Terrible"? John Demjanjuk is a Ukrainian who came to America after the
Second World War. In 1978 the Jews made a big hullabaloo about Demjanjuk being
a guard in a German prison camp during the war, and the U.S. government
obediently hauled him to court and stripped him of his citizenship. Then he was
handed over to the Jews for crucifixion and deported to Israel. The mass media
in America were full of sensational stories for 15 years about Ivan the
Terrible and how the Ukrainians had helped the Germans persecute the poor,
innocent Jews.
This strategy
worked for the Jews. The Ukrainians kept their heads down instead of raising
the issue of Vinnitsa. Of course, even if they had begun trying to tell
Americans about Vinnitsa or about what Kaganovich had done to the Ukrainian
kulaks, who would have heard them? Ukrainians don't own the New York Times, the
Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Time magazine, Newsweek
magazine, or U.S. News & World Report. The Jews own all of those
media. And the Ukrainians don't own Hollywood, so they can't make movie dramas
about Vinnitsa either, like Steven Spielberg does about the so-called
"Holocaust."
The Jews have
been getting away with presenting a grossly distorted version of history to us,
a version in which they are the completely innocent victims, and our people --
the Ukrainians and Poles and Germans -- are the bad guys who have been
persecuting the poor Jews for no reason at all. They've been pumping out this
propaganda in concert, consciously and deliberately, without a single major
medium under their control deviating from their party line. People try to tell
me Jews may control the media, but they don't conspire with each other.
Baloney!
And because
they've been getting away with giving us a falsified version of history,
they've been able to change America's foreign and domestic policies in
directions to suit themselves, to our enormous disadvantage. Everything which
has happened in the Middle East, for example, since the Second World War is
based on this false history.
More than that,
everything that has happened in Europe since the murder of 12,000 Ukrainians at
Vinnitsa in 1938 has been based on the Jews' power to control what we learn
about our history, about what is happening and has happened in the world around
us. The U.S. government allied itself with the Soviet government in 1941 for
the purpose of destroying Germany. The communists were presented to the
American public as the good guys, as worthy allies, and the Germans were
presented as the bad guys. And the American public bought that lie because they
didn't know about Vinnitsa or about a thousand other atrocities committed
against our people by the communists.
When the
Germans brought in the international commission to examine the graves in
Vinnitsa in 1943, the controlled media kept the news from the American people,
just the way they kept the news about the Katyn Forest genocide away from the
American people. And because of this, there was no real opposition to turning
half of Europe over to the communists at the end of the Second World War. If
Katyn and Vinnitsa had been publicized, so that every American voter knew in
detail what the NKVD had done at Katyn and at Vinnitsa, the politicians in
Washington never would have been able to get away with turning the Poles,
Hungarians, Rumanians, Bulgarians, Croats, Serbs, Czechs, Slovaks, Balts, and
all of the Germans in the eastern part of Germany over to these communist
butchers. The politicians in Washington got away with this not just because
they were in the pockets of the Jews, but because the American people weren't
given the truth. And because we weren't given the truth millions more of our
people died at the hands of the NKVD after the war, all of eastern Europe was
plundered by the communists for 50 years, and there was a Korean War and a
Vietnam War -- which there wouldn't have been if we hadn't kept the communist
empire alive. Because of our own ignorance, because of the lies we'd been told
about what happened in Europe, we lost more than 100,000 of our best young men
in the Korean and Vietnam wars alone.
So you see, it
is important what the public is told. It is important that our people know the
truth about our history, even about things which happened 60 years ago. And I
intend to do everything I can to give them the truth.
Now, I believe
that you can understand why the Jews try so hard to keep me off the air, why
they bring pressure against every radio station which carries American
Dissident Voices. They are desperate to keep the American people in the
dark about Vinnitsa, Katyn, and their other crimes. And I am determined to tear
down the curtain of silence and darkness and give truth and light to our
people.
There is some urgency about this, because the Jews are continuing to
push for laws against what they call "hate speech" -- which means any
speech which contradicts their lies. They have succeeded in getting such laws
passed in other countries. If I tried to make this broadcast in Canada or Britain,
for example, the police would arrest me and shut down the station before I
could finish. Let's not let that happen in America.
