   The CIA’s Neo-Nazis

   (May 25, 2000) – Formerly one of the youngest members of the Hitler Youth, Friedhelm Busse,  roused the crowd with anti-foreigner and anti-American vitriol that elicited loud cheers from shaven-head teenagers and 20-somethings who waved illegal imperial German black-and-white flags. Violence erupted after Busse ended his pep talk with a line from an old Nazi song: “We’re marching for Hitler day and night because of the need for freedom and bread.”

   Busse’s status as an elder statesman among hard-core neo-Nazis in Germany is all the more troubling given that his checkered past includes a controversial stint with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.Back in the early 1950s, Busse joined the Bund Deutscher Jugend (BDJ), an elite, CIA-trained paramilitary organization composed largely of ex-Hitler Youth, Wehrmacht and SS personnel in West Germany. Busse and his fellow Bundists were primed to go underground and engage in acts of sabotage and resistance in the event of a Soviet invasion. But instead of focusing on foreign enemies, Busse’s “stay behind” unit proceeded to draw up a death list that included future Chancellor Willi Brandt and other leading Social Democrats (West Germany’s main opposition party), who were marked for liquidation in case of an ill-defined national security emergency.

   The Bund’s cover was blown in October 1952, when the West German press got wind that U.S. intelligence was backing a neo-Nazi death squad. Embarrassed State Department officials, who tried to cover up the full extent of American involvement with the youth group, admitted privately that the scandal had resulted in “a serious loss of U.S. prestige.”

     In reference to this article, did you know that Ronnie Reagan, back in the early fifties, was a spokesperson for the Crusade For Freedom? I believe that’s in Christopher Simpson’s BLOWBACK.

   Declassified archives document ties between CIA and Nazis

   On June 6, 2006, the US national archives released some 27,000 pages of secret records documenting the CIA’s Cold War relations with former German Nazi Party members and officials.

   The files reveal numerous cases of German Nazis, some clearly guilty of war crimes, receiving funds, weapons and employment from the CIA. They also demonstrate that US intelligence agencies deliberately refrained from disclosing information about the whereabouts of Adolf Eichmann in order to protect Washington’s allies in the post-war West German government headed by Christian Democratic leader Konrad Adenauer.

   Eichmann, who had sent millions to their deaths while coordinating the Nazis’ “final solution” campaign to exterminate European Jewry, went into hiding in Buenos Aires after the fall of the Third Reich. Utilizing friendly contacts in the Catholic Church and the Peron government in Argentina, Eichmann was able to reside in the South American country for 10 years under the alias of Ricardo Klement. He was abducted in 1960 by Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence agency, put on trial in Israel and executed in 1962.

   The documents show that the CIA was in possession of Eichmann’s pseudonym two years before the Mossad raid. The CIA received this information in 1958 from the West German government, which learned of Eichmann’s alias in 1952. Both the CIA and the Bonn government chose not to disclose this information to Israel because they were concerned that Eichmann might reveal the identities of Nazi war criminals holding high office in the West German government, particularly Adenauer’s national security adviser Hans Globke.

   When Eichmann was finally brought to trial, the US government used all available means to protect its West German allies from what he might reveal. According to the declassified documents, the CIA pressured Life magazine into deleting references to Globke in portions of Eichmann’s memoirs that it chose to publish.

   In addition to the revelations regarding Eichmann, the documents chronicle the CIA’s creation of “stay-behind” intelligence networks in southwestern Germany and Berlin, labeled “Kibitz” and “Pastime,” respectively. The Kibitz ring involved several former SS members. In the early 1950s, the CIA provided these groups with money, communications equipment and ammunition so that they could serve as intelligence assets in the event of a Soviet invasion of West Germany.

   Stepan Bandera – Hero or Nazi Sympathizer

   On January 22, 2010 Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko honored Stepan Bandera by posthumously bestowing on him the state honor, “Hero of Ukraine.”  The Soviet KGB assassinated Bandera, a Ukrainian nationalist-in-exile, in 1959.  Many Ukrainians, including Ukrainian émigré groups in Canada, pressed Yushchenko to grant the honor, which, according to one statement, “would restore justice and truth about the Bandera and the…struggle for liberation that he headed.”  To this day, many Ukrainians view Bandera as a martyred freedom fighter.

   As an uncompromising leader of the militant, terrorist branch of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), Bandera became a Nazi collaborator who lived with his deputies under German protection after World War II began.  In preparation for the attack on the USSR, the Nazis recruited Bandera’s followers to act as Ukrainian-speaking policemen and to serve in two Ukrainian volunteer army battalions.  By working with the Nazis, Bandera hoped to free Ukraine from Soviet rule and establish his own government there.  An independent Ukraine, Bandera promised, would remain friendly to Germany.

   Historian Karel Berkhoff, among others, has shown that Bandera, his deputies, and the Nazis shared a key obsession, namely the notion that the Jews in Ukraine were behind Communism and Stalinist imperialism and must be destroyed.  “The Jews of the Soviet Union,” read a Banderist statement, “are the most loyal supporters of the Bolshevik Regime and the vanguard of Muscovite imperialism in the Ukraine.”  When the Germans invaded the USSR in June 1941 and captured the East Galician capital of Lvov [Lviv in Ukrainian], Bandera’s lieutenants issued a declaration of independence in his name.  They further promised to work closely with Hitler, then helped to launch a pogrom that killed four thousand Lvov Jews in a few days, using weapons ranging from guns to metal poles.  “We will lay your heads at Hitler’s feet,” a Banderist pamphlet proclaimed to Ukrainian Jews.

   The Germans intended to keep Ukraine for themselves.  They arrested Bandera for his intransigence on the issue of independence, but released him in 1944 when it appeared that his popularity with Ukrainians might help stem the Soviet advance.  But whatever their disappointment with the Germans, the Banderists never disagreed with their Jewish policy in Ukraine, which eventually killed over 1.5 million Ukrainian Jews.

   This is a truth that many in Ukraine, particularly in its western parts, deny.  In his book Erased (2007), Omer Bartov discusses the large bronze statue of Bandera that stands in a park in the east Galician town of Drohobych, most of whose 15,000 Jews were murdered.  The park stands on the site of the town’s former Jewish ghetto, but there is not so much as a plaque in the park to memorialize the Jewish dead.  This and other examples like it make a condemnation of Yushchenko’s step necessary.

   Lenin beheaded, Bandera erected - Ukraine returning to pre-WWII fascist era collaborating with the West.

   But the rest of the story, much of which is revealed in CIA records released in 2007, reveals irony in Yushchenko’s award.  After the war Bandera lived in Munich.  British intelligence used him to help run agents into Ukraine to gather intelligence and to help the Ukrainian underground against the Soviets.  The CIA used some of Bandera’s former cronies for similar reasons, but never used Bandera himself, owing to Bandera’s infatuation with his own legend.  “Bandera,” said one CIA report from 1948, “is by nature a political intransigent of great personal ambition [who] has…opposed all political organizations in the emigration which favor a representative form of government in the Ukraine, as opposed to a mono-party, OUN/Bandera regime.”

   A well known historical fact about Nazi collaborator Pieter Menten in East Galicia. He was unmasked by journalist Hans Knoop and his trial in The Hague brought many facts about local pogroms and executions of the Jewish population. The Ukrainians in Lviv played a major role of collaboration with the Nazis. The defense attorney Van Heijningen was well known to me. There was major media coverage of Pieter Menten’s trial in The Hague.

   I have just been reminded that the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs is Virginia Nuland, appointed by Obama (yeah, WTF?)  in 2011.  She was on the Bush Cheney NSC between 2003 and 2005–yep, the Orange Revolution.

   And:

   Nuland is the daughter of Yale bioethics and medicine professor Sherwin B. Nuland, the family’s original surname being Nudelman. One of Victoria’s grandfathers was Meyer Nudelman from a family of Jewish immigrants who came to New York City from the Russian Empire.

   Victoria Nuland graduated from Choate Rosemary Hall in 1979 and has a B.A. from Brown University. Nuland is married to historian Robert Kagan, with whom she has two children. Nuland says that she speaks Russian, French, and some Chinese.

   Yes, that Robert Kagan, one of the rock-ribbed neo-cons in DC.  Prep-school, Brown,…might as well be a 1%-er herself.

   I don’t think the whole process was a false flag op, but once the government had killed protesters last fall, the US-Svoboda relationships in CIA could assert themselves.

   And there is the cynical thought that Israel would love some more Ukrainian Jewish refugees to bump up the electorate in the Jewish state.  Or are Kagan-Nulands just naive about Svoboda?

   Raider seizure “Ukrainian Truth” – whether the government’s fault?
   Media and advertising, September 4, 2013, 16:46

   “Whether the government engaged in provocations against” Ukrainian Truth “? Waiting for an answer” – such an editorial appeared on the popular site pravda.com.ua.  Who is behind the provocation, and where does the power?

   After all websites with all their content are on the border of the legal field of Ukraine.  Officially to register can only print media.  A popular site with a domain pravda.com.ua is not.

   Official owner of the domain is pravda.com.ua Olena Prytula Kirova 18/3 kv.7, Simferopol (source: https://www.hostmaster.ua).  Most likely, she for some reason did not attended to ensure the legitimacy of media ownership called “Ukrainian Truth”.

   Therefore, the title of an editorial UP “whether the government engaged in provocations against” Ukrainian Truth “?”  – Paranoia in its purest form.  Do not need to mindlessly throw accusations of “provocations” “fraud.” Manual UP own fault that the media did not register in time under its own brand.  And now only the power, but rather its judicial branch, can help protect this brand.

   Honestly, it would be better attended to investigate who is behind this newspaper “Ukrainian Truth”.  For this example, you can call the telephone number provided in the registration data of its publisher – Open-news has the same name.  Or stop by for a visit at the same place.  But it is difficult.  Much easier “on the machine” rush usual baseless allegations …

   @somebody #73 : One can see a major representation of the older generation participating in the violent demonstrations and occupation of Independence Square. One renowned militia, Aleksandr Musytschko, had fought in Chechnya and in the Ossetian War of 2008 against the Soviets Russians. I recall in the sixties, Polish immigrants in the US send their first borns to fight the commies in Vietnam. Hatred of occupation accompanied with atrocities leave deep scars for decades. IMO the differences between East and West in the Ukraine cannot be reconciled through more violence.

   NY Times and other media reported about the “lad from  Lvov” [Lviv in Ukrainian] and now seen as a hero. Not surprised, the “lad” came with an arms haul from a government military depot.

   Everything you know about Ukraine is wrong  by Mark Ames

   (Pando Daily) Feb. 24, 2014 – Although I’m deep into the reporting of my next story about the Silicon Valley Techtopus, it’s hard for me not to get distracted by events in Ukraine and Russia.

   I haven’t lived in that part of the world since the Kremlin ran me out of town, so I’m not going to pretend that I know as much as those on the ground there. Still, I’ve been driven nuts by the avalanche of overconfident ignorance that stands for analysis or commentary on the wild events there. A lethal ignorance, a virtuous ignorance.

   Virtuous ignorance about world affairs used to be the exclusive domain of neo-con pundits, but now it’s everywhere, especially rampant on the counter-consensus side — nominally my own side, but an increasingly shitty side to be on.

   Nearly everyone here in the US tries to frame and reify Ukraine’s dynamic to fit America-centric spats. As such, Ukraine’s problems are little more than a propaganda proxy war where our own political fights are transferred to Ukraine’s and Russia’s context, warping the truth to score domestic spat points. That’s nothing new, of course, but it’s still jarring to watch how the “new media” counter-consensus is warping and misrepresenting reality in Ukraine about as crudely as the neocons and neoliberals used to warp and Americanize the political realities there back when I first started my Moscow newspaper, The eXile. So, yes, I wanted to comment on a few simplifications/misconceptions about Ukraine today.

     Would sure like to see an accounting of that $5 billion the US spent on “regime change” in Ukraine.  Or shouldn’t that be regimes changes given the ever shifting alliances among the major three thugs that have been running things over the past dozen years.

     As for “who were the snipers?” — we’ll know if ever there is a faction in power that didn’t benefit from the work of those snipers and would benefit from exposing and indicting them for murder.  Otherwise, they’ll remain unidentified which is the way things usually go because the same “handmaidens” are hired by all the powerful elite factions.

     Ron Paul: Leave Ukraine alone!

     Last week Ukraine saw its worst violence since the break-up of the Soviet Union over 20 years ago.

     Protesters occupying the main square in the capitol city, Kiev, clashed with police leaving many protesters and police dead and many more wounded. It is an ongoing tragedy and it looks like there is no end in sight.

     The current conflict stems from a divide between western Ukraine, which seeks a closer association with the European Union, and the eastern part of the country, which has closer historic ties to Russia.

     The usual interventionists in the US have long meddled in the internal affairs of Ukraine. In 2004 it was US government money that helped finance the Orange Revolution, as US-funded NGOs favoring one political group over the other were able to change the regime. These same people have not given up on Ukraine. They keep pushing their own agenda for Ukraine behind the scenes, even as they ridicule anyone who claims US involvement.

     A recent leaked telephone conversation between two senior government officials made it clear that not only was the US involved in the Ukrainian unrest, the US was actually seeking to determine who should make up the next Ukrainian government!

     Senator John McCain, who has made several trips to Ukraine recently to meet with the opposition, wrote last week that the US must stand up to support the territorial integrity of Ukraine, including Crimea.

     Why are US government officials so eager to tell the Ukrainians what they should do? Has anyone bothered to ask the Ukrainians?

     —snip—

     If you asked most Americans how they feel, my bet is that you would discover they are sick and tired of the US government getting involved in every crisis that arises. Certainly the American people want none of of this intervention in Ukraine. They understand, as recent polls have shown, that our interventionist foreign policy is only creating more enemies overseas. And they also understand that we are out of money. We could not afford to be the policemen of world even if we wanted to be.

     And I bet if we asked the Ukrainians, a vast majority of them would prefer that the US — and Russia and the European Union — stay out their affairs and respect their sovereignty. Is it so difficult to understand why people resent being lectured and bribed by foreign governments? All we need to do is put ourselves in the place of the Ukrainians and ask ourselves how we would feel if we were in the middle of a tug-of-war between a very strong Canada on one side and a very strong Mexico on the other. We would resent it as well. So let’s keep our hands off of Ukraine and let them solve their own problems!

     Amen.

    The suggestion by US Radio Free Europe that the sniper activities around February 20 were the responsibility of the Ukrainian Berkut under Minister of Interior was false and pure fabricated propaganda.

    Is bloody KGB plan of Ukraine’s collapse carried out? Written by: Валерій Дротенко and published on 08.12.2013.

    The original name of this article was Is bloody KGB plan of Ukraine’s collapse carried out by Ukrainian Security Service General Gandzha and criminal Chebotarev?

    Several days ago, the opposition MPs, Lieuteant-General Gennady Moskal, Colonel-General Nikolai Palamarchuck and Lieutenant-General Vitaly Yarema spoke about overheard preparations for provocations to be held on Maidan. According to the information from retired generals of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are several gangs of 5-7 thousand of so-called “titushky” concentrated near Kiev. Titusky (termed after the surname of a notorious gangster Vadym Titushok, who’s beaten journalists during earlier protests rally in Kyiv, being covered by government and never jailed for that) are government sponsored hooligans. These gangs are backed up by Alexey Chebotarev, “a person who sells alcohol and is on friendly terms with Zaharchenko”.

    Our editorial staff has received the confirmation of these data from Palamarchuk and Yarema from the competent source, which, of course, wished to remain anonymous. The inside story is as follows. Deliberately bloody crackdown on Maidan on the night of November 29th to 30th  and Sunday events on the Bankova Street were provoked by Chebotarev’s bandits and funded by “black cash” from Chebotarev’s gang which was received for market protection of counterfeit vodka and alcohol smuggling.  The same source covers “unofficial bonuses” of Berkut fighters and of Special Forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Chebotarev himself is backed up by his curator at Ukrainian Security Service, Head of National Statehood Protection, General Sergei V. Gandzha.

      Ethnic and Liguistic division of Ukraine into East and West is a myth

      (spilno.tv) – So, as we can see, ethic and linguistic division of Ukraine is a myth, which was created and believed in by Russian propaganda. In the nearest future Russia has to admit that this is a myth or make a strategically miscalculation in their actions due to using wrong information. Besides, existing biases toward the ethno-linguistic predominance or significant presence of Russians on some territories of Ukraine is mainly the result of discriminating language policy and state terror towards the Ukrainians during the period of time, when Ukraine was a part of the Russian Empire and the USSR.

      I hope that foreign mass media and individual journalists will check the facts given in this article and will gradually stop nourishing this solely Russian neo-imperial myth.

    Is this site hacked??? Shows map with Russia occupation of Crimean peninsula with invasion forces poised to enter Southern Ukraine and Eastern Ukraine. A large Swastika symbol covers portion of Western Ukraine. A provocative piece of propaganda. The cached version of Russian website is a bus and train transportation scheduler for buying tickets and making reservations.

    Russia and Ukraine feud over carnage? Why isn’t this massacre in overthrow of Yanukovich a concern of human rights for the European Union, the US government and members of US Congress? Collateral damage, just move along, nothing here to see …

    Russia, Ukraine feud over sniper carnage

    KIEV, Ukraine (AP/WaPo) — One of the biggest mysteries hanging over the protest mayhem that drove Ukraine’s president from power: Who was behind the snipers who sowed death and terror in Kiev?

    That riddle has become the latest flashpoint of feuding over Ukraine — with the nation’s fledgling government and the Kremlin giving starkly different interpretations of events that could either undermine or bolster the legitimacy of the new rulers.
