well, the surprise is not that russians and soviets attack Nazis in germany and in the process
a list of historical lies appear. This is within understandability.
After all it was not a lie that 25 or so million of them were killed by the victims of your recently discovered lies… And the russian general who betrayed MOscowand tried to help Hitler was object of German laugh and contempt! This is history.
After the war, there was a lot of compromise, of soft talk and of complicity between washigton and the surviving Nazis (look at the spying structures for instance. But there is NO complicity and NO pardon to germans from Russia. And forget that if you hope for it.
The surprise is all of Germans, from 1945 to this date cling and stick to the two biggest, most nefarious and criminal source of LIES in the world: the US of A and its mainstream Media.
Of which by the way, the die Welts, the allgemeines and zeitungs … are a paste and copy.

1. There is a typo in what I wrote. It should be: The Russians didn’t enter Poland until September 17.
2. Did you read the link I provided? By the time the Russians entered Poland the Polish government had fled. The war was essentially over. Moreover the British had been supportive of Russia’s territorial claims on Eastern Poland AND the secret pact between Russia and Germany was . . . secret – so no one knew at the time that Russia’s land grab was pre-arranged.

Update on the Hawai’i terror attack on 01-13-2018:
The severity of the consequences of this intended
consent fabricating event are slowly surfacing.
At least one person died of a heart attack with
others under investigation. One person died in a
car accident – running a red light to get home
as fast as possible. At least one person committed
suicide.
That is at a minimum three deaths from this
planned false flag false alert. While there are
now thorough investigations promised, their
findings will reveal as much truth as the
Warren and 9one1 commissions.
Today there was a radio segment about the
number of PTSD cases triggered in children.
The number is obviously high, since many
children show signs of emotional distress.
Factoring in the Japan false flag false alert
while the true axis of evil is holding a
conference in Canada as to how to nuke NK,
either militarily, or economically, most
people here on the islands are finally
smelling the root that is the regime’s
attempt to pull another Pearl Harbor.
Another, because it is factual history now,
that Pearl Harbor was a set up. Everything
was done to make a Japanese attack all but
inevitable. Think about leaving the doors
to the safe open and reduce the number of
guards for the thieves to notice.
A German proverb alleges that:
“Gelegenheit macht Diebe”
(Opportunity creates Thieves)
Which is also valid as:
Opportunity enables Attacks.
While it may be judged as delusional,
now is the time to ban all nuclear
weapons and put before an international
tribunal for war crimes, planning of
nuclear war and economic terrorism the
entire leadership of the US regime and
its axis vassals political and military
leadership.
Otherwise, we will soon get the real
“incoming Intercontinental Ballistic
Missiles”. Sure, one can only die once,
but if it is due to the psychopathy of
the ruling class, one might ponder about
talking the power away from these mass
murderers.
Nuclear winter is not a hoax.

Bevin @74.
I quite like communism – it has several good points. but your statement; “In 1917 the poor people of Russia gave the world a demonstration of how to put an end to the evils of class exploitation and imperialism. In doing so they incurred the implacable hatred of all the forces of evil on the planet – forces which eventually prevailed.”
There were 1.25 million “aristocrats in Russia before the revolution, and only 750’000 “Nomenklatura” after it when they had taken all the power. The Nomenklatura were the only the ones with the vote, the power and the money. Not the “poor”. So as far as I can see they replaced one group (And the Tsar was “quite a decent fellow” according to recent estimations) with a smaller one which was no better and probably worse.
Then to simply say that all those “powers-in-charge are evil” is something equally ridiculous as saying “all” jews are capable of “ruling”. Neither is true.

There is a disinfo campaign on the net. I think they are trying to smear critics of US/Israeli policy as Nazi or antisemite.
There is also an attempt to destabilize Russia by Russian/religious nationalism
What goes around comes around. I am still not sure where this alt-right – evangelical – Russian orthodox axis stuff started.
In that way the claims Russia interfered in US elections are deeply ironic. It is possible that the US were hit by their own disinformation campaign.
This here is a paper by the usual suspects – including Anne Applebaum on “Kremlin, Alt-Right and International influences in the German election campaign”.
I suspect AFD received US funding. But what do I know.

Adding to my previous comment: The 2016 election was a real eye-opener. The corporate media, in their relentless push to install Clinton, flushed whatever remaining legitimacy they had left down the toilet, and their willingness to expend this capital showed how important Clinton was to them. Since then, their desperation to remove Trump has been completely transparent. Ha!

Interesting piece in Off Guardian on how much support the amerikan funded alt right actually enjoys in Russia the article links to primary sources supporting its point of view unlike the ‘links’ here we’ve been subjected to which are just unsupported statements of hate with no evidence supporting the hateful fantasies of the low self esteemed.
Tiny support for tiny minds eh

“Even though Vladimir Putin’s ascendancy in the polls has been verified by Western pollsters, and even though a few more level-headed Western outlets feel obliged to admit he would likely win a free and fair election with ease, the majority of the mainstream media have taken the launch of the presidential campaign as a cue to almost entirely bury even these basic facts, and instead to focus on claims that the ‘only real opposition‘ in Russia has been banned from challenging Putin due to flagrant political censorship.
By ‘only real’ opposition they mean Alexei Anatolievich Navalny, lawyer, ‘activist’, occcasional chum of neo-nazis with an awkward tendency to compare racial minorities to cockroaches, and founder of the Anti-Corruption Foundation, who is, ironically, currently serving a suspended sentence for fraud and embezzlement, and is, thereby, banned under the Russian Federation’s constitution from running for elected office.
In case it has passed you by, the western media love this guy. For them he is a mash up of Jesus and John Lennon spiced with a whiff of bad boy. They eat him up. And when high enough on his amazingness they celebrate him in rich prose:
For the UK Independent Navalny is “Putin’s biggest rival”. For the BBC he is “Russia’s vociferous opposition leader”. For Time he is Putin’s “Nemesis”. . . snip
Navalny – like that other (posthumous) hero Boris Nemtsov – is a peripheral figure in Russian domestic politics. Before he was ruled inadmissible for election “Putin’s biggest rival” was polling between 1-4% in opinion polls, which puts him on about the same level as the UK Green Party, which polled 1.6% in the last general election and has one seat in parliament, or UKIP, which polled 2.1% and has no seats at all.
For comparison, in the current line-up of candidates, the Communist Party polled 17% in the previous presidential election and the same in 2008. . . snip
Navalny is different. Navalny – due to his handy conviction for fraud – will be spared the inevitable shame that his tiny share of the vote predicts. So, when all the other hopefuls are defeated, he can remain with credibility intact. A political martyr. A living testimony to the fact the Russian elections are a fraud. The 2% popular support can be airbrushed away (as can his association with nazis, his unfortunate cockroach comparisons and his general litany of bizarre behaviour). He can become a sheep-dipped western hero whom Putin censored through fear. Post-election he will be, in the West at least, the perfect rallying point for a cause, which will have many bland and virtue-signalling faces, but which will at core be about discrediting the Russian presidency as fundamentally corrupt and unrepresentative, and trying, once again, to plant the seeds of color revolution.”

The article goes on to detail Navalny’s love for antidemocratic regime change praising events in Libya and other amerikan funded colour ‘revolutions’.

@ somebody
I am not particularly interested in history, which is not to say I don’t know a fair bit about the conventional narratives. Written history is fraught with ideological bias and I am not going to spend my life digging through obscure history books to compare and contrast different historical narratives.
What I am interested in is the power dynamics of the present. Big things such as the wars in the Middle East, AIPAC, Jewish control of US corporate media, financial system, Hollywood, and the music industry, what’s been happening in Ukraine, and the actions of wealthy individuals such as George Soros should, at the very least, make anyone who can think for themself wonder what the hell is going on.
In any case, have a nice day. Bot out.

Trump is de facto working for Putin by sanctioning Russian oligarchs.

President Vladimir Putin is using the threat of additional U.S. sanctions to encourage wealthy Russians to repatriate some of their overseas assets, which exceed $1 trillion USD by one estimate.
Putin told lawmakers late Monday that a new capital amnesty program was needed “given the foreign restrictions, which instead of lessening are now worsening,” according to a transcript posted on the Kremlin’s website. This “should stimulate the return of capital to Russia,” the president said, without specifying how long the measure will last.
“People should feel comfortable and secure and it shouldn’t involve additional expenses,” Putin said Tuesday at a Cabinet meeting where he ordered officials to finalize the plan.
Russia rolled out a similar amnesty program during the worst of the conflict in Ukraine, which coincided with a plunge in oil prices that triggered the country’s longest recession of the Putin era. That 18-month initiative, the results of which haven’t been disclosed, “didn’t work as well as we’d hoped,” Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said. Unlike that plan, this one waves Russia’s 13 percent tax on personal income, according to Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s spokesman.

It is also a type of blackmail – similar to the Saudi Qatar shakedown.

Anxiety in Moscow is deepening over an imminent new US sanctions list.
A leading Russian paper estimates that 300 oligarchs could be named. To avoid inclusion on the list, some are reportedly changing their schedules to avoid being seen with president Vladimir Putin. Others are liquidating holdings that might be exposed. Mikhail Fridman, head of one of the country’s most important private banks, said he is stopping working with the country’s defense industry for fear of being sanctioned.
That fervor has reached Washington, where oligarchs are desperately lobbying for information about the list and, if possible, to get their names off it. While the list is just an advisory document outlining oligarchs considered close to the Kremlin, those on it could later be sanctioned and will almost certainly find themselves the subjects of a host of new compliance checks when trying to work with Western companies.

@141 Noirette
More to the point: what is the endgame on fixating on the jews? Should we provide tailored accessories for them and annex all their positions of power and wealth? If the thesis of their power ascension is overwhelmingly true, I don’t know how one would counter this without falling into the trap of heaping an entire population.
I will posit, though, that bringing the attention to Heros’ position provides the antithesis to the exploited trump-card of exaggerating numbers in the Holocaust, thus making any accusation towards the Jews as verboten. The Jews were far from the only type of person to suffer in ww2, whatever the immensity.
And look at how they leverage their position in the ME using this tactic. Indeed, I am sure right now they are reevaluating their position in Israel and consolidating their defense via the US.
I understand that some may recoil from approaching this subject, but as it stands, it is worthwhile to evaluate the possibility that they are exploiting their victimhood and we are all suckers in their game.
P.s. and pertaining to prior comment: Solzhenitsyn is 2x the writer that that fraud Elie Weisel was, but that is indeed a precedent for the potential misinformation of Solz.

Thank You very much. After having followed Your
excellent analysis on a variety of topics, it
looks like the more You are spot on, the more
establishment boots are oozing out of their
holes to disrupt the discourse on MoA.
It is to be expected, I suppose, since
their deception and their lies require
ever more distraction from the painfully
obvious truth.
These people wear no clothes, but have the
audacity to disturb the peace of a blog that
cannot be conquered with cheap tricks.
The plethora of new monikers is amazing.
Maybe these folks get away with their
infiltrations elsewhere, but MoA must
represent a serious challenge to their
intrigues.
What has been ludicrously increased over
the last year, is the manipulation of the
technical aspect of this blog.
The error messages I receive while writing
are ludicrously frequent now. The most
prominent error message has become:
“Snaps! Something unexpected happened.
Please try again later, or go to a
different website.”
Which is moronic, because I am here
and if I would care to be somewhere
eles, I think I could manage to go
there.
On this side, there is only gratitude
for Your pre-spring cleaning.

This train of thought was brought about by a previous poster who mentioned the “participants” in 9/11.
This is NOT about the the “obvious” culprits – but about the “Pentagon” part of the four aircraft. (Two for the main WTC buildings and the later two as a”sub-plot”).
Start with WTC 7 which fell down because of a small fire one one or two floors. Most people realise that this was deliberate. Even if you don’t, it is important to know that the Pentagon’s financial archives were in the building. Second point is that Rumsfeld declared that the Pentagon had “lost trace” of $2 trillion dollars – two days before 9/11.
Next point is that the attack on the Pentagon accurately destroyed the financial (Audit?) centre within the P. building. There was one very small hole and the “major” part of the damage happened inside, a lot further away on the right. Again some say this was due to internal explosions. Even if you don’t think this was the case, the next bit is what I am getting to.
There were 35-36 CCTV cameras in operation around the Pentagon. The FBI confiscated ALL of them. These were seen by ONE person only. They, the FBI, later released 3-4 very grainy and indistinct parts of the images – some with the potentially interesting frames removed.
ie. There was a “cover-up”, or at the very least the FBI decided unilaterally WHAT should be seen by the Commission or the public. They said that they had destroyed all the other remaining films (Not true – as one or two have been “released” since then).
Now – Who was in charge of that Cover-up/investigation. Mueller? of the Russiagate investigation.
If you think, as I do, that there was a cover up of a vast theft ($2 trillion), then Mueller is one of the people responsible.
History repeates itself, or do some people just do the same each time it becomes necessary? Isn’t Mueller just trying to find any excape route – before he, himself is “investigated”?
