Happy Victory Day


Living in the USA, you would not know that today is the 74th anniversary of the surrender of Nazi Germany to the USSR and its allies. There is no mention in the media, no parades, no flags flying...nothing.

It's almost as though the US no longer wants to remind its citizens that we once fought against fascism. I wonder why that is?

This is nothing new. In 2015, on the 70th anniversary of the victory, the US and its flunkies (who the US calls "the international community") refused to attend the anniversary celebration in Russia. Of course, the USSR lost 27,000,000 people defeating the Nazis, while the Americans lost 90,000, so we can see who actually defeated Nazi Germany. Still, it was nice of the Russians to invite the West, and churlishly rude of the Americans to not only refuse to attend, but to strongarm their flunkies into also staying home. That was under Obama, not Trump, so you can see that US policy remains the same no matter which puppet is in the White House.

And there is a Allen Dulles Airport in the capital of the USA. Allen "Ratline" Dulles, the man who single-handedly saved thousands of Nazi war criminals, and helped them into new lives in new countries, as well as back into power in West German politics.

I wonder why we name anything after fascist war criminals, let alone an airport in the capital of the nation. That seems odd, to anyone brought up on a steady diet of war propaganda that implied that Americans are against fascism.

And the police of the capital city of the USA are now helping Venezuelan immigrants put a medieval siege on Americans holed up in an embassy. No food is allowed in, the US Postal Service employees are stopped from doing their job delivering mail, no person is allowed in or out, the electricity was illegally cut off, and last night the police stomped on and arrested a veteran of the US military, for trying to throw a cucumber throw in the window, for the besieged Americans inside to eat. They hauled off the veteran who tried to feed Americans, along with another person who tried to throw an orange.
You would think that the media of this country would be all over these outrages. You would be wrong.

It's almost as though the owners of this country want to prove to the citizens that they have no special fondness for us, that they will help to try to starve Americans into submission, just like they do citizens of other countries.

Happy Victory Day.
