This article is part of an ongoing series of dispatches by historian Eric Zuesse
“Jewish existence was one of almost continual terror. Jews throughout Europe regularly experienced attacks, slaughter, extortion, kidnap, ransom, forced baptism and confiscation of property by the [Roman Catholic] Church, the state, and mobs.” But the Holocaust was the super-pogrom; and, though masterminded from Germany, it was being carried out everywhere that Hitler reigned. After the war, Muslims in what was then Palestine paid the price and became the Christian-approved victims of Jews who were escaping from Christian lands..."
Under U.S. President Harry S. Truman, the America and the world that his predecessor Franklin Delano Roosevelt (who was against the formation of a Jewish state, and who also was opposed to Winston Churchill’s and Dwight Eisenhower’s urgings for a war against the Soviet Union) had sought and carefully planned, abruptly ended. Truman thus was one of the worst Presidents in American history, though he followed immediately after one of the two greatest, FDR (the other being Abraham Lincoln, who, likewise, was immediately followed by conservatives who were failures as far as justice and the public’s welfare were concerned — ending in the 1929 crash, which brought FDR to power just as slavery had earlier brought Lincoln to power).
Yet another example is Ukraine. In a moment of extraordinary candor, George Friedman, the founder and CEO of the ‘private CIA’ consulting firm Stratfor, once called the overthrow of the democratically elected President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, which occurred in February 2014, “the most blatant coup in history”, and this was because it was the first coup ever to have been captured live on cellphone videos and uploaded to the internet as it happened, and afterward documented by interviewing some of the participants, in detailed accounts which fit perfectly with similar confessions from other participants (such as this, from one who didn’t even know about those other participants, but they all were carrying out the same plan, which they didn’t know about and which came from above — the U.S. regime — they all were only following the orders that they had been given by agents of the U.S.). These realities were able to be reported outside the United States but not inside the United States. The top EU officials didn’t become so much as even aware that it had been a coup instead of an authentic revolution, until it was already finished, on 26 February 2014. By our time, there is no longer any reasonable doubt that it had been led by the U.S. regime, and that Barack Obama’s Administration had started planning the operation by no later than 2011, and the implementation-phase started by no later than 1 March 2013 inside the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine — well before the fairy-tale ‘explanation’ of the coup (‘the Maidan Revolution’) started on 21 November 2013. Famously, after that ‘democratic revolution’ (which was instead a fascist coup that was hidden behind popular anti-corruption demonstrations), came the breakaway of Crimea (which had voted over 75% for Yanukovych) and of Donbass (which had voted over 90% for him). And then came the Obama-installed regime’s ethnic cleansing ‘Anti Terrorist Operation’ to eliminate as many of the voters in Donbass as possible, because if they stayed in Ukraine, then the newly installed regime in Kiev would soon be elected out-of-office. Hatred was needed in order for that ‘Anti Terrorist Operation’ or ‘ATO’ (the ethnic-cleansing operation) to be able to achieve its purpose, of retainining in power the U.S.-stooge regime, in a ‘democratic’ way.
