"U.S. lawmakers have introduced similar resolutions in the past on politically charged historical events, like the massacre of Armenians in Turkey during World War I. Most historians and a growing number of countries consider the killings to constitute genocide.

The White House, under pressure from Turkey, has stopped short of using the word "genocide" to describe the Ottoman-era massacre."

I am amazed that Democrats would turn on their hero and role model like this. Are they trying a feeble attempt to redeem themselves after using Stalinist tactics against Kavanaugh?

Though much more light needs shedding on the Soviet Unions criminal regime, revealing Stalins manmade famine it is a good start. Shedding light on the Soviet Union needs doing because its political and scientistic religion and utopian aspirations are the religiously held system of Americas Progressive Left.

Meanwhile, the communists in Hollywood were pledging allegiance, and donating money to Stalin and his cause. They partied in their mansions and sipped champagne while millions died. If Stalinists did take control of the U.S., it would have been nice to see the expressions on the faces of the Hollywood phonies as they faced a firing squad made up of their comrades.

I’m in the middle of reading “Harvest of Sorrow” by Robert Conquest. This book is thought to be one of the best, most definitive historical accounts of the Holodomor.

It’s a tough, serious read. But important.

Despicable, heinous people.

Of course, Comrade Commissar Khrushchev had no responsibility - pure as the wind driven snow, so to speak.

Comrades! No one starved in the Ukraine, they were only hungry. I know this is so, it was in the NYT, Amerika’s Pravda.

I wonder what the NYT has to say about the Senate stating that about Stalin?

Golly. It only took them about 90 years to come to that conclusion.

Of course, the mass murder wasn’t just confined to the Ukraine, but to the Khazaks and the Cossacks at the Kuban River, also. They too died in great numbers.

The "simple resolution" passed on October 3 commemorates the 85th anniversary of the famine of 1932-33.

Any Democrats vote for it?

I’m still waiting for the NY TIMES to own up and return the Pulitzer Prize won by their fake news correspondent, Walter Duranty for covering up Stalin’s atrocities not only in Ukraine, but elsewhere.

The US government, as always, only a few decades behind what everyone else on Planet Earth recognized long ago.
