U.S. Gets ‘Sovietized’ by Eric Margolis

ABOUT THE U.S. BEING 'SOVIETIZED'

Intro by Henk Ruyssenaars - Foreign correspondent

FPF - Sept. 25th - 2006 - Canadian writer and correspondent Eric Margolis warns in this article for the same negative development as in the former Soviet Union, even if it's a little bit like 'mustard after the meal'. According to 'Project for a New American Century' Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff - who prefers double nationality - a vast electronic control net covering the US is nearly completed. It’s called the ‘Homeland Security Information Network’ (HSIN)* - And it, says Chertoff: " now includes 50 states, five territories, 53 major urban areas, local officials and officials from Britain, Canada and Australia. It connects Homeland Security advisors, governor’s offices, and emergency management agencies all across the country."

THE SOUND OF THE MARCHING BOOTS, KLICKING HEELS AND CRACKING WHIPS GETS LOUDER AND LOUDER.*

A LOT ABOUT BEING 'SOVIETIZED' COULD BE LEARNED FROM RUSSIAN WRITER AND ICON ALEXANDRE SOLZJENITSYN.

As chairman of the 'Foreign Press Association', the correspondents in Sweden, I organized the first press conference in the 'West' for Alexandre Solzjenitsyn in the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, when he in 1974 was forced to leave the Soviet Union, and first came to the Swedish capital. He finally could collect the Nobel Prize for Literature which he had been awarded in 1970 by the Swedish Nobel committee, but couldn't collect at the time. Solzjenitsyn explained that he was afraid not to be allowed to return to the USSR, which for him is 'Mother Russia' - a name that is used to describe the country of Russia with affection. There still are many 'Mother Russia' statues in various cities throughout the former Soviet Union.

But the story he told about 'Mother Russia' and being 'Sovietized' was also the reason why former Gulag prisoner and Nobel Laureate Solzjenitsyn in the mainstream media globally is never heard of again. After decades of research he published a new book, this one called 'Dvesti Let Vmeste' - 'Two Hundred Years Together', about the history of Jews in Russia and how they 'Sovietized' it. With Lev Davidovich Bronstein (Trotzky) founding the Red Army and - as Margolis points out - with the help of henchmen like Dzerzhinsky, Yagoda, Yezhov and Beria killing around 66 million people in their Gulag prison system.* The Moscow stenographer of the New York Times, Walter Duranty, got a Pulitzer prize by this group, because of his silence and denial concerning another Holocaust they perpetrated.*

CONTROL OVER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

Former Soviet/Russian PM and Foreign minister Yevgenij Primakov 20 years ago visited Stockholm, and in an interview I asked him if it wasn't difficult for jewish people like him to get around in the Soviet Union. He only laughed and told me to look at the Soviet Academy of Science: "Look at who has all the titles and medals. We're taking care of that too." - In a later interview, Primakov said the US National Identity Card act (NICA) overturned the 'Posse Comitatus Act' now other forms of repressive legislation are approved: "The White House will have acquired greater control over the American people than the Kremlin could exert when Stalin was alive." Primakov stated.*

The group claiming to be in charge in the United States, with the US/Israeli war machine wrecking our earth by all inhumane means, must be stopped, before they have 'Sovietized' the whole world. Just look around you and see what it happening. - HR + References below.

U.S. GETS 'SOVIETIZED'

BY ERIC MARGOLIS

09/24/06 "Toronto Sun" - In the late 1980s, I was the first western journalist allowed into the world’s most dreaded prison, Moscow’s sinister Lubyanka. Muscovites dared not even utter the name of KGB’s headquarters, calling it instead after a nearby toy store, “Detsky Mir.”

I still shudder recalling Lubyanka’s underground cells, grim interrogation rooms, and execution cellars where tens of thousands were tortured and shot. I sat at the desk from which the monsters who ran Cheka (Soviet secret police) — Dzerzhinsky, Yagoda, Yezhov, Beria — ordered 30 million victims to their deaths.

Prisoners taken in the dead of night to Lubyanka were systematically beaten for days with rubber hoses and clubs. There were special cold rooms where prisoners could be frozen to near death. Sleep deprivation was a favourite and most effective Cheka technique. So was near-drowning in water fouled with urine and feces.

I recall these past horrors because of what this column has long called the gradual “Sovietization” of the United States. This shameful week, it became clear Canada is also afflicted.

We have seen America’s president and vice president, sworn to uphold the Constitution, advocating some of the same interrogation techniques the KGB used at the Lubyanka. They apparently believe beating, freezing, sleep deprivation and near-drowning are necessary to prevent terrorist attacks. So did Stalin.

The White House insisted that anyone — including Americans — could be kidnapped and tried in camera using “evidence” obtained by torturing other suspects. Bush & Co. deny the U.S. uses torture but reject the basic law of habeas corpus and U.S. laws against the evil practice.

THE UN SAYS BUSH’S PLANS VIOLATE INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS.

This week’s tentative agreement between Bush and Congress may somewhat limit torture, but exempts U.S. officials from having to observe the Geneva Convention.

Canadians had a shocking view of similar creeping totalitarianism as the full horror of Maher Arar’s persecution was revealed. Thanks to false information from the RCMP, the U.S. arrested a Canadian citizen and sent him to Syria. Arab states and Pakistan were being used by the Bush administration for outsourced torture. Syria denies the charges.

Suspects were kidnapped by the U.S., often on the basis of faulty information or lies, then sent to Arab states to be tortured until they confessed. The apparent objective of this “rendition” program? To find a few kernels of useful information. The Cheka and East Germany’s Stasi used the same practice.

I NEVER THOUGHT I’D SEE THE UNITED STATES — CHAMPION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND RULE OF LAW — LEGISLATING TORTURE AND SOVIET-STYLE KANGAROO TRIBUNALS.

I never thought I’d see Congress and a majority of Americans supporting such police state measures. Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln must be turning in their graves.

To me, Canada has always been a haven of moderation, decency, and rule of law — until the Maher Arar affair shockingly showed this country could also quickly fall into police state behaviour.

Arar’s despicable treatment by Canada and the U.S. was the result of a U.S. witch hunt, plus anti-Muslim racism, stupidity, bureaucratic cowardice and incompetence.

We saw Ottawa aiding the outrageous persecution of its citizens, and the U.S. shamefully refusing to aid the Arar inquiry.

Former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, who authorized Arar’s arrest, should face justice for this and many other malfeasances. The current U.S. Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, who denied the Bush administration was responsible for Arar’s abduction and torture, should be ashamed.

Canada must demand a thorough U.S. investigation, apology, and guarantee Canadians will never again become victims of such state-run criminal activity. It’s time for Prime Minister Stephen Harper to advise his new best friends in Washington that Canada is not a banana republic.

Officials directly involved in the most sordid, disgraceful case in Canada’s modern history, must face justice. They are as much guilty as the torturers who beat Maher Arar mercilessly for 10 months.

In total, Soviet industrial genocide accounted for at least 40 million victims, not including 20 million war dead. - Kaganovitch, and many senior OGPU officers( later, NKVD) were Jewish. The predominance of Jews among Bolshevik leaders, and the frightful crimes and cruelty inflicted by Stalin's Cheka on Ukraine, the Baltic, and Poland, led the victims of Red Terror to blame the Jewish people for both communism and their suffering. - Url.: http://www.artukraine.com/famineart/unknhol.htm
