Se non si mette in questione la narrazione secondo cui il fascismo sarebbe antitetico al neoliberismo non si puo' comprendere ne' il capitalismo della sorveglianza (tecno-fascismo) ne' il modo in cui gruppi di potere transnazionali esercitano il loro dominio. Il fascismo, inteso come tecnica politica atta a dirigere le masse, nasce non a caso con la societa' di massa, e si avvale del controllo dell'informazione. Uno dei padri del neoliberismo, Friedrich Hayek, non nascondeva la sua ammirazione per la dittatura di Pinochet tanto che in un’intervista al principale quotidiano del regime, El Mercurio, il 19 aprile 1981 dichiarava senza ambiguita' che la democrazia aveva bisogno di una efficace depurazione realizzata da un governo forte. La Mont Pelerin Society, noto covo di neoliberisti, proponeva una regolazione dello Stato da parte delle élite, in modo da evitare vulnerabilita' di natura elettorale. Tale regolazione delle élite era considerata necessaria per proteggere i mercati che rischiavano di franare di fronte alla volonta' popolare. Da corrente marginale il neoliberismo e' diventato egemone, ha smantellato lo Stato Sociale del dopoguerra e perseguito la mercificazione delle relazioni sociali attuando un rimodellamento delle soggettivita'. Il fascismo 2.0 o fascismo tecnocratico ha le sue radici proprio in questa ideologia. @LauraRuHK

Che il tecno-fascismo sia espressione del totalitarismo neoliberista non e' una tesi priva di fondamento che ho partorito io ieri sera. Esiste un'ampia letteratura in merito alla relazione tra fascismo politico e liberismo economico. Per chi avesse tempo e voglia di approfondire, questo testo e' un ottimo, anche se non facile, punto di partenza: Ishay Landa, "The Apprentice’s Sorcerer: Liberal Tradition and Fascism." Per chi non avesse tempo, ecco un articolo di facile lettura https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/10/14/liberalism-and-fascism-partners-in-crime/ Mi scuso se non ho riferimenti bibliografici in italiano, io vivo all'estero e le mie fonti sono in lingua inglese. In italiano conosco "Controstoria del Liberalismo" di Domenico Losurdo e lo consiglio vivamente. Ricordo anche che il fascismo e il nazismo non avrebbero potuto controllare e dirigere le masse in senso anti-socialista senza avvalersi del totale controllo di radio e cinema, due mezzi di comunicazione di massa che in una societa' in cui la lettura era appannaggio di pochi, potevano meglio dei giornali veicolare l'ideologia dominante.

Zelensky and Trudeau greet former Nazi unit fighter – Ukraine’s president and Canada’s prime minister greeted a former member of the infamous SS 1st Galician Division, which fought for the Nazis in World War II, as they attended a parliament session in Ottawa, according to images shared by the Associated Press.
One of the photos, taken in the House of Commons on Friday, showed a smiling Vladimir Zelensky clenching his fist and Justin Trudeau applauding to somebody outside the image.
AP’s caption explained that the two leaders “recognize Yaroslav Hunka, who was in attendance and fought with the First Ukrainian Division in World War II before later immigrating to Canada.”
What the US news agency described as “the First Ukrainian Division” was in fact the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, also known as the 1st Galician Division.
Similar images have been shared by AFP, which described Hunka, aged 98, as a “Canadian-Ukrainian war veteran.”
Videos from parliament also showed MPs giving a standing ovation to the former Nazi unit fighter.
The 1st Galician Division was assembled the Nazis in 1943, when the Soviet Union was gaining the upper hand on the Eastern Front. It comprised some 80,000 volunteers, mainly Ukrainians, from the region of Galicia, spanning what is now southwest Poland and western Ukraine.
The infamous unit participated in brutal anti-guerrilla operations across Poland and Soviet Ukraine, and were accused of massacres and other atrocities against the Polish, Jewish and Russian civilian populations. It was crushed by the Red Army in July 1944 and soon rebranded as the Ukrainian National Army, before surrendering to the Western Allies after the fall of Berlin in May, 1945. After the war, some of the members of the 1st Galician Division fled to Canada, which has a large Ukrainian diaspora.
During his speech to the Canadian Parliament, Zelensky said Canada has always been on the “bright side of history” during previous wars, and thanked Trudeau’s government for the support it has provided to Ukraine amid the conflict with Russia.
In late August, Zelensky posted an image on social media, featuring a Ukrainian soldier sporting the patch of the 1st Galician Division. Kiev’s troops have also been spotted wearing patches of the notorious 36th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, one of the worst Nazi penal units, the 3rd SS Panzer Division ‘Totenkopf’, and assorted swastikas and other far-right symbols.
Ukraine is the only country in the world that has integrated openly neo-Nazi militias into its national military. These units were once described by Western media outlets as “neo-Nazi,” but are being referred to as “far-right groups” amid the conflict between Kiev and Moscow. (Source: RT) @LauraRuHK

Cultivate Amnesia - Americans have become masters in the art of memory management.
Think about the tragic shock of Vietnam. The country made a systematic effort to forget — to forget everything about Vietnam. Understandably; it was ugly — on every count. Textbooks in American history gave it little space; teachers downplayed it; television soon disregarded it as retro. Americans sought closure — we got it.
In a sense, the most noteworthy inheritance from the post-Vietnam experience is the honing of methods to photoshop history. Vietnam was a warm-up for dealing with the many unsavory episodes in the post-9/11 era. That thorough, comprehensive cleansing has made palatable presidential mendacity, sustained deceit, mind-numbing incompetence, systemic torture, censorship, the shredding of the Bill of Rights and the perverting of national public discourse — as it degenerated into a mix of propaganda and vulgar trash-talking. The “War on Terror” in all its atrocious aspects.
Cultivated amnesia is a craft enormously facilitated by two broader trends in American culture: the cult of ignorance whereby a knowledge-free mind is esteemed as the ultimate freedom; and a public ethic whereby the nation’s highest officials are given license to treat the truth as a potter treats clay so long as they say and do things that make us feel good.
So, in the U.S., the strongest collective memory of America’s wars of choice is the desirability – and ease – of forgetting them. “The show must go on” is taken as the imperative. So it will be when we look at a ruined Ukraine in the rear-view mirror.
The cultivation of amnesia as a method for dealing with painful national experiences has serious drawbacks. First, it severely restricts the opportunity to learn the lessons it offers.
In the wake of the inconclusive Korean War where the United States suffered 49,000 killed in action, the mantra in Washington was: no war on the mainland of Asia ever again.
Yet, less than a decade later the U.S. was knee-deep in the rice paddies of Vietnam where America lost 59,000 people.
After the tragic fiasco in Iraq, Washington nonetheless was gung-ho about occupying Afghanistan in a 20-year enterprise to construct a similar Western-leaning democracy out of the barrel of a gun.
Those frustrated projects did not dissuade the U.S. from intervening in Syria where it failed once again to turn an intractable, alien society into something to its liking — even though it went to such an extreme as a tacit partnership with the local Al-Qaeda subsidiary. As Kabul showed, the U.S. didn’t even take away from the Saigon denouement the lesson in how to organize an orderly evacuation.
At the very least, one might have expected that a reasonable person would have come away with an acute awareness of how crucial is a fine-grain understanding of the culture, social organization, mores and philosophical outlook of the country the U.S. was committed to reconstituting. The U.S. has manifestly not assimilated that elementary truth. Witness the abysmal ignorance of all things Russian that has led the U.S. to a fatal miscalculation of every aspect of the Ukraine affair. https://consortiumnews.com/2023/09/21/us-cant-deal-with-defeat/

La chiusura del cerchio. La patetica marionetta Trudeau, tanto amata da Soros e Schwab, applaude con Zelensky il 98enne canadese di origine ucraina Yaroslav Hunka, veterano della famigerata divisione "Galizia", divisione delle Waffen SS, a cui il parlamento canadese ha tributato onore. Il video dell'applauso e' agghiacciante. Lo sdoganamento del nazifascismo prosegue senza ostacoli. Del resto che cosa potevamo mai aspettarci da un paese in cui Christya Freeland e' vice-primo ministro? https://t.me/IntelRepublic/28228

Solo dopo le proteste di varie organizzazioni ebraiche, alcuni membri del parlamento canadese, incluso il presidente della Camera, si sono scusati per aver applaudito Yaroslav Hunka, canadese di origini ucraine che aveva combattuto nella divisione Galizia delle SS. Apparentemente non conoscevano i trascorsi e le simpatie politiche di questo veterano. La celebrazione dei nazisti va bene solo se avviene in Ucraina, perche' al pubblico occidentale si puo' raccontare che nessun rigurgito nazista esiste in Ucraina e che a sostenere il contrario e' solo la propaganda russa e filo-russa. @LauraRuHK

I liberali canadesi che hanno tributato un'ovazione al veterano ucraino delle SS, dopo l'attacco delle organizzazioni ebraiche, si affrettano a pentirsi e a giustificarsi. Allo stesso tempo fingono di essere degli ingenui che presumibilmente non avevano idea di chi stessero applaudendo.
Jason Czerniak, noto avvocato canadese e blogger liberale, è uno di loro. Scrive: "Ero in Parlamento durante il discorso di Zelensky. Quando è stato presentato il presunto eroe di guerra, mi sono alzato in piedi e ho applaudito. Avevo pensato che fosse un partigiano che combatteva l'occupazione comunista dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale. Ora ho appreso che era un volontario delle SS e sono disgustato".
Già, l'ingenuità in persona! Finge di non sapere chi fossero questi "partigiani"-Banderiti e cosa facessero mentre massacravano interi villaggi.
Czerniak conclude: "Come ebreo sono stato uno di quelli che, senza saperlo, ha applaudito un soldato nazista, difficilmente posso immaginare un momento più imbarazzante. Qualcuno deve assumersi una seria responsabilità per questo. Tutti coloro che erano in quella stanza devono levarsi questa macchia".
Non basta ripulirsi la coscienza, signori! Smettete di sostenere il regime nazista di Kiev e il vostro governo, che giustifica le atrocità naziste - e anche in questo caso non otterrete una piena assoluzione. Ma almeno smettete di sporcarvi ancora di più! https://t.me/kornilov1968/19524

An interesting pschological description of how the west is increasingly ruled by a collection of narcissistic incompetents. Think von der Leyen, Borrell, Macron, Baerbock and Trudeau as the prime examples.
⭐️ A breakdown of diplomacy doesn’t quite describe how bad things have become. The behavior of US and European leaders has become increasingly unhinged and any semblance of rationality has been abandoned. It is impossible to listen to western leaders without coming to the conclusion that something is very wrong.
⭐️ All our carefully selected political elites are incompetent in exactly the same way, for exactly the same reasons. Their only competence is the ability to destroy our economies, our culture, our societies, our health, and our freedom.

Yaroslav Hunka, il veterano ucraino delle SS applaudito dal parlamento canadese, passo' anche dall'Italia dopo che la 14a Divisione Waffen Grenadier delle SS (1a Galizia) si arrese alle forze britanniche e statunitensi il 10 maggio 1945. Ilya Tsukanov nell'articolo pubblicato da Sputnik https://t.me/LauraRuHK/6408 racconta:
"La maggior parte dei soldati ucraini delle SS fu internata a Rimini, nell'area controllata dal II Corpo polacco. Pavlo Shandruk chiese un incontro con il generale polacco Władysław Anders, collega dell'esercito polacco prima della guerra, chiedendogli di proteggere l'esercito dalla deportazione in Unione Sovietica (dove avrebbero potuto essere processati per i crimini di guerra commessi). Ci sono prove credibili che, nonostante le pressioni sovietiche, Anders riuscì a proteggere le truppe ucraine, in quanto ex cittadini della Seconda Repubblica di Polonia. Questo, insieme all'intervento del Vaticano, impedì che i suoi membri fossero trasferiti in URSS. Il vescovo Buchko della Chiesa greco-cattolica ucraina si era appellato a Papa Pio XII affinché intervenisse a favore della divisione, che aveva descritto come "buoni cattolici e ferventi anticomunisti". Grazie all'intervento del Vaticano, le autorità britanniche cambiarono lo status dei membri della divisione da prigionieri di guerra a personale nemico arreso. 176 soldati della divisione, principalmente ufficiali dell'esercito polacco prebellico, seguirono il loro comandante e si unirono all'esercito polacco di Władysław Anders." @LauraRuHK

In February 2022 Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland was pictured behind a banner bearing the nationalist slogan “Slava Ukraini.” Red-and-black banners like the one held by Freeland were the official battle flag of the so-called Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), the paramilitary wing of the fascist Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN). OUN supporters work to deny their Nazi collaboration while celebrating and rehabilitating Nazi collaborators. That was the kind of work that Chrystia Freeland did alongside her Nazi-collaborator grandfather Michael Chomiak. Freeland has long been a lobbyist for Ukraine.

O I MEDIA OCCIDENTALI MENTONO O I GENERALI RUSSI RISORGONO - Sulla base di informazioni fornite dalla propaganda ucraina i media occidentali avevano riportato la notizia della morte dell'ammiraglio russo Viktor Sokolov, comandante della Flotta del Mar Nero. Secondo la loro versione l'ammiraglio sarebbe morto durante l'attacco ucraino al quartier generale della flotta a Sebastopoli, in Crimea. Ma come al solito le balle spaziali di Kiev vengono smentite dalla realta'. Viktor Sokolov e' apparso in video ad una riunione del Ministero della Difesa russo e non sembra che stia parlando dall'oltretomba.

The Ukraine war has has fired-up something latent; something bubbling away under the surface inside the western sphere. Put simply,it has stirred a shift in the global consciousness 🌀
Russia cannot be suspected of deliberately having fuelled this ‘cultural war’, for its roots lie firmly within Euro-American political teleology. The divide was primed to happen anyway – but Ukraine has been an accelerant.

▪️Last year, USAID spent $33.7 million on Armenia, according to the agency’s website. Almost half of this amount was directed to government and civil society projects. The agency stated that it intends to speed up the country’s “strategic transition to a more inclusive, democratic, and economically resilient society.”
USAID is Washington’s primary distributor of civilian foreign aid. With a yearly budget approaching $30 billion, the agency is active in over 100 countries. While some of its missions involve the straightforward provision of food or medicine to developing countries, it has been accused of financing hazardous biological research, and in the words of presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr, is a “CIA cutout.”
USAID is currently seeking contractors for tourism, disaster response, and PR projects in Armenia. However, other US government agencies have already spent millions of dollars rebuilding the Armenian government and civic society in the image of the US.
American influence
According to the US government’s contracting website, the State Department currently plans to hire a legal consultant to rewrite Armenian labor laws, spend $1.5 million on anti-corruption initiatives, and purchase a firearms training simulator for Armenian police, which Pashinyan has vowed to use in a “tough response” against protesters.
The State Department has already paid a think tank funded by USAID, the EU, and the UK almost $30,000 to “debunk manipulations and smear campaigns in Armenia,” in addition to funding anti-”propaganda” training for Armenian journalists. Another $70,000 has been spent promoting American state media on Armenian television, while $25,000 has been allocated for “LGBT support” programs.
Additionally, the Pentagon is currently seeking to build a “biological threat reduction” facility in Armenia. While the description of this facility provided by the Pentagon is vague, Russia has accused the US of using similar laboratories in Ukraine to research and manufacture biological weapons.
