About time the rest of history starts to be told.
That can’t be right!
Stalin was a GREAT guy!
Just read some of Pulitzer Prize winner Walter Duranty’s articles in the New York Times from that era. You’ll see!

Join us today on the Glenn Beck TV Thread - live. Posted at 4:30 Eastern everyday.
I am so glad beck is doing this. People need to know this.
Having family that remained in Ukraine when my grandparents were sent over as children, I haven’t forgotten this.
But it doesn’t get much coverage.
I know I’m preaching to the choir, but sometimes it’s such a relief to be heard...
I heard Beck talking yesterday -— he said something like that “Uncle Joe” and “Chairman Mao” are seen as cuddly, almost teddy-bear-like because of all the propaganda from the Left.
That is SOO true! For most people/Americans?, chills don’t radiate up their spines, alarm bells going off, such as when they certain other tyrants’ photos. If nothing else, Stalin and Mao are just two more politicians, to many, thanks to the control of history, the state schools, the entertainment industry by the leftists.

Enough said.
PS - It was probably more like 12-13 million.
Conquest states in his book that for every letter (not word) in it 20 people died. It's 411 pages long.
Every member of the Communist Parties of Eastern Europe should have been banned from holding political office or voting for life. They should have been tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity, just like the National Socialists, even if the process took decades. Because they weren’t, we have to put up with scum like Putin and the other reinvented commies in the former Soviet Empire.
The only reason that I know about the Ukrainian genocide is that my father, who only had a high school education (he finished school at night during the Depression), told me about it when I was a boy. I never heard about it in high school or college courses, although I learned more from some college classmates who were of Ukrainian descent, but that was on our own time.
My father, who was a truly intelligent man, also railed about Fabian socialism (I think Beck will talk about this tonight), Mussolini (we’re Italian), and FDR.
Dad, I wish you were alive to watch this show with me tonight!
Robert Conquest's book on the Ukrainian famine is a must read, but regarding the blind westerners Paul Hollander'Political Pilgrims is unsurpassed in my opinion.

America’s biggest trading partner venerates Mao (I believe his “immortal” remains are still on display in a Mausoleum). His death toll vastly exceeded Hitler’s. It’s kind of chilling to think about. Scads of holocaust films, memorials, easy and ongoing villification of krauts and yet the country that in some way even “economically owns” the USA... and to whom the USA has shed millions of jobs, was actually worse than Hitler in terms of sheer numbers of slaughtered human beings... (as was America’s Soviet ally in WW2).
I don’t know what it means, except that some holocausts are more holocausty than others, so long as the ideology is/was popular among intellectuals. And let’s face it, communism is/was extremely popular among the so-called Intellighenzia.
Naturally, it’s like comparing rotten fish with rotten meat... but, why isn’t the Holodomir common knowledge? 10/13 million people purposefully starved to death?
The conspiracy theorists have a ball blaming the Jews, (many Bolsheviks were Jews, many in the media, both info and entertainment were /are Jews).
I wish we would be given honest answers capable of putting things in perspective, without immediate cries of “vade retro Nazi!”
I think the real Jewish link has to do with the “Intellighenzia” and internationalst appeal. It would be only natural for them under their conditions (pogroms and suchlike) to go more towards the social as opposed to the cultural angle of totalitarianism.
Yes, I believe that it really isn’t a Jewish question, besides the fact that all those Jews were / are atheists, but a struggle between rich and complicated “scientific” utopian ideals and the more simplistic blood and soil, between “I have a dream” and this is “our volk and land.”
Well the omelette was made and there’s no getting the eggs back into their shells, but the huge disparity remains. Some of those slaughtered as a result of a couple of centuries of veneration of the state are surely worth more than others.
Another slaughter comes to mind, the one perpetrated by the “Enlightened” French right after their revolution for Liberty, Fraternity and Equality... the wholesale hecatomb perpetrated upon the people of the Vendée. This too is not taught.
Lies, damned lies and statistics! Walter Duranty of that blessed oracle the NEW YORK TIMES says it was like a paradise on earth!
ok, Sarc/off
Notice also that the left in the west has worked so hard to keep this bit of history suppressed, while simultaneously concentrating the public's mind on those same activities by Hitler - as if Hitler and Stalin had nothing in common (as the left's myth goes).
Bttt
