The MoA Week In Review – OT 2022-40
Last week's posts at Moon of Alabama:
Propaganda:
- Gonzalo Lira proves without doubt that four different Ukrainian propaganda clips with different actors were all filmed at the exact same location, a 'battlefield' with several long destroyed Ukrainian tanks –> Propaganda BTFO (video)
- Yesterday evening a Ukrainian station showed a video of Ukrainian troops driving through Bucha, north of Kiev, with several 'dead' people lying in the street allegedly 'killed by Russians'. There are two difficulties with these claims:
– One of the dead appears to move his arm: video
– Bucha was declared 'completely liberated' of Russian troops by its mayor on Thursday, March 31. Are we to believe it would take three days for such an 'incriminating' video to come out? Or that those 'dead' were lying there for three days with no one bothering?

Other issues:
U.S. regime change drive in Pakistan:
Afghanistan:
I had written that, according to witnesses, most of the casualties of the suicide bombing at the Kabul airport had come from U.S. soldiers shooting at civilians after the bomb exploded. The U.S. military had denied that. The Pro Publica report below finally proves it:
> “It sounded like a shooting range,” said one Marine who was knocked momentarily unconscious by the blast. “An overwhelming amount of gunfire, everywhere.” He hid behind the ditch wall until the tear gas gave him some cover, then sprinted into the airport.
…
One Marine thought he saw another gunman in a watchtower by the roof. He raised his rifle to take him out, when, suddenly, another Marine practically tackled him.
“It’s a fucking British guy!” someone else yelled, racing down the line to warn others. “Don’t shoot him!”
A Marine later told investigators that she began firing in the same direction as other troops. “I went in and saw a lot of Marines shooting” by a barrier, she said.
“There was a lot of smoke,” she said. “I couldn’t see where they were firing. They grabbed me, and I started firing my weapon as well. I don’t know what I was firing at.” <
Use as open thread …
Discussing the rape of civilians is like grappling with an octopus. In the case of Soviet Union the onion has many fine layers. The primary layer IMHO is the one that is raised in this link which was given by Deplorable Commissar (Apr 3 2022 21:31 utc | 116)

“When the Bolsheviks seized the power ,that was so famously “lying in the streets” in early November 1917, they didn’t disguise the fact that they meant to rule by force and terror. Within weeks they established the coercive arm of their permanent revolution, the “Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counterrevolution and Sabotage,” Ve-Cheka for short or Cheka for shorter. Lenin placed the fanatical Pole Felix Dzerzhinsky in charge of it, and he in turn recruited a cohort of Latvians, Jews, and renegade Russians to help him devastate the Russian nation. The Cheka almost immediately launched into one of the most horrifying orgies of mass murder ever recorded, and men of Jewish blood, who like other Jewish leftists, retained their Jewish identity, played a very prominent role in it.”
There is no nice way to get around the issue of who dominated highest positions in key ministries of Power in the Soviet Union. The same trend can be noticed in all East European countries which were in the Soviet space (to this day). In today’s Ukraine we see people from the same “pool” in the personality of Neuland, Klichko, Zelensky, Kolomyski and many more. By the way, this trend didn’t go unnoticed in pre-WW II Germany.
Just incase, even the US mag “The Atlantic” dares to say the same,
“The Jewish officers who brought the Polish operation to Ukraine and Belarus, such as Izrail Leplevskii, Lev Raikhman, and Boris Berman, were arrested and executed. This was part of a larger trend. When the mass killing of the Great Terror began, about a third of the high-ranking NKVD officers were Jewish by nationality. By the time Stalin brought it to an end on 17 November 1938, about twenty percent of the high-ranking officers were. A year later that figure was less than four percent. The Great Terror could be, and by many would be, blamed on the Jews.”
What is not said often is the fact that armies are made of men who may be “normal”, psychopaths, sociopaths, mentally unstable, and people with various other mental traumas. The clever ones hide their problems, while the ones who don’t one hopes get thrown out. However in an existential war, no commander is going to worry about if some of his guys stole some stuff or raped a women. He’s going to worry about his disposition map, supplies and where the enemy is hiding. As long as the soldier does his job to the commanders satifaction, no one cares. This will be true for any army. Such is war.
However in the case of the Soviet Army, The Mighty Wurlitzer made sure to ingrain in the minds of the public that the Soviets were barbarians and the Allies the saintly troops (John Wayne) freeing the victims of German aggression. This propaganda has been injected wherever it was possible, but avoiding the crucial details to understand the phenomena in the case of the Soviets.
One such detail being who were the people that made up the army. Well to get the numbers we can be sure that they were the dirt poor peasants who probably couldn’t even read a newspaper or much less buy it. I know I am generalizing, but these were very naive people who could be told almost anything and they would buy it. Much like those today who wear masks inside cars.
Now this is where the next layer comes in, people who molded the minds of these soldiers. People like Ilya Erenberg (Jew) who had the knowhow of how to do it on these impressionable people going into combat. For motivation was the primary quality needed on the battle field.

“In one leaflet headlined “Kill” Ehrenburg incited Soviet soldiers to treat Germans as sub-human.
Ehrenburg’s incendiary writings certainly contributed in no small measure to the orgy of murder and rape by Soviet soldiers against German civi 1 j ans. Until his death in 1967, “his support for the Soviet state, and for Stalin, never wavered,” the Canadian Jewish Newsnotes. His loyalty and service were acknowledged in 1952 when he received the Stalin Prize. In keeping with official Soviet policy, he publicly criticized Israel and Zionism.”
We can read the same thing from the horses mouth,
https://thecjn.ca/perspectives/yoshke-odessa-goes-america/
“I talked about a famous article written by Ilya Ehrenburg, who called enemies subhuman, and who, in 1942, proclaimed that a soldier had wasted his day if he hadn’t killed at least one fascist. Then Psoy performed a 1943 Yiddish song titled, Yoshke from Odessa, which borrowed lines from the article and praised a brave Jewish soldier who killed his enemies by cutting them into slices, in order to avenge murdered babies and destroyed cities.”
This talk was given in CANADA (hint, Freeland).
These special NKVD Political Officers were stationed everywhere in the Soviet Army. Even generals had to worry.
“Colonel General Dmitrii Pavlov had the misfortune of commanding the embattled Western Front while Meretskov was in prison. On July 4, 1941, Pavlov was arrested by an NKVD special group and brought to Moscow. Two days later Lev Mekhlis, the Politburo-appointed member of the Military Council of Pavlov’s front and, in fact, Stalin’s representative, cabled Stalin that Pavlov’s six closest subordinates, all generals, should also be arrested. Stalin agreed.
Pavlov and three other generals under his command were accused of failing to follow Stalin’s orders to attack the Germans. They were unable to do so simply because their own troops had already been virtually wiped out by the advancing Germans after a previous order from Moscow to resist them. Pavlov was also accused of being a plotter: ‘While part of an anti-Soviet plot and a commander of the troops of the Western Front, [Pavlov] betrayed the interests of the Motherland by opening the front to the fascists.’ Pavlov was interrogated about Meretskov, and Meretskov was interrogated about him.”
Check on Wiki who is Lev.
