RAMIRO SEBASTIAN FUNEZ—Exposing the myth of the Holodomor, an alleged Soviet famine in Ukraine from 1932 to 1933. During today’s episode, we debunk claims that Stalin and the Soviet Union purposefully starved millions of Ukrainians. We shed light on the role of Ukrainian Nazi collaborators in spreading the mythology of the Holodomor. We also discuss how fraudulent historical events like the Holodomor influence imperialist propaganda today. Today’s guest is Dr. Grover Furr, an author and professor of Medieval English literature at Montclair State University. Dr. Furr has published numerous books debunking imperialist lies about Stalin and the Soviet Union.

Garland expertly (and effortlessly) tears apart the thick tissue of lies and specious arguments used by the US empire’s mouthpieces like Antony Blinken or Victoria Nuland to justify its existence. There’s nothing natural about this “rules-based order,” says Garland, it’s just another euphemism for the rotting, deeply anti-democratic and criminal US empire. The US empire is worse than a mafia, he adds. It’s even more predatory. It does not deserve the respect or allegiance of anyone, except those in the 0.001% who directly benefit from its eternal depredations.
