Glory to the heroes!<\/em>\u201d. For somebody like me who dislikes <strong><em>Zionism<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Nazism<\/em><\/strong> just about the same, it was a sweet irony to see an <strong><em>Israeli<\/em><\/strong> Prime Minister officially traveling to the <strong><em>Nazi-occupied<\/em><\/strong> Ukraine to commemorate the massacre of Jews at <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Babi_Yar\">Babii Iar<\/a> <\/span>greeted by the very same slogan which the <strong><em>Jews<\/em><\/strong> murdered at Babii Iar heard from their <strong><em>Banderite<\/em><\/strong> executioners while they were being shot.<\/h5>\n<h5>STOP!<\/h5>\n<h5>Do you already hear the choir of voices protesting: how can anyone expecting to be taken seriously write a paragraph about the civil war in the Ukraine with all the following words: Ukronazi, Zionism, Nazism, Nazi-occupied, Jews and Banderite?<\/h5>\n<h5>That is a very good question.<\/h5>\n<h5>But I have a better one!<\/h5>\n<h5>How can anyone expecting to be taken seriously write a paragraph about the civil war in the Ukraine <strong><em>WITHOUT<\/em><\/strong> all the following words: Ukronazi, Zionism, Nazism, Nazi-occupied, Jews and Banderite?<\/h5>\n<h5><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Zhidobandera.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>Let\u2019s begin with the first question. The obvious implied criticism behind the first question, is very simple and it assumes that there is a profound and inherent contradiction between everything Nazi and Jews\/Zionism. Speaking about a \u201cNazi Jew\u201d or a \u201cNazi Zionist\u201d is just as nonsensical as speaking about dry water or and diamonds raining from the sky!<\/h5>\n<h5>Except that both <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dry_water\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">dry water<\/span><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/science-environment-24477667\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">diamonds raining from the sky<\/span><\/a> <strong><em>do<\/em><\/strong> exist in real nature, so let\u2019s not jump to conclusions too fast and see which contradictions are real, and which ones are only apparent.<\/h5>\n<h5>I won\u2019t even go into the (deliciously controversial) topic of the historical fact of the collaboration of the German National Socialists with various Zionist organizations which, rather naively, thought that a nationalist like Hitler would understand their own nationalism and help them to emigrate to Palestine. But this goes even further than that as Hannah Arendt said, in her superb book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Eichmann-Jerusalem-Banality-Penguin-Classics\/dp\/0143039881\/?tag=unco037-20\">Eichmann in Jerusalem<\/a>\u201d (see excerpt <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lastsuperpower.net\/docs\/nzc4hannaharendt\">here<\/a><\/span> or, even better, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/HannahArendtEichmannInJerusalem\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">read the full book<\/span><\/a> (for free!): various Jewish organizations continued to work with\/(for?) the Nazis well into the so-called \u201cHolocaust\u201d.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">SIDEBAR<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">To be honest, I don\u2019t think that we, safely sitting in the comfort of our homes, should be too quick to condemn these Jewish organizations. Yes, of course, many of them were \u201cnaive\u201d (and I am being polite here), but others must have realized that European Jews are in a great deal of danger and must be evacuated at any cost and if the only way to achieve such an evacuation was to deal with the Nazis, then so be it! This is no different than offering a bribe to a jail guard to obtain some kind of favor. Thus I think that Jewish organizations which today categorically deny having collaborated with the Nazis are mistaken on not one, but two grounds: first, the truth is coming out and it is impossible to suppress it and, second, there is nothing shameful in swallowing your disgust to save a person. Except that for the racially deluded minds of modern Zionists, such an admission would take the air out of their silly notion of racial superiority. Hence the categorically <em>crimethink<\/em> nature of speaking about this]<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">No, what I want to suggest here is very different: in our 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, most of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century terminology has lost its meaning. What is a liberal (no, not Hillary!)? What is a Communist (no, not Obama!)? What is a Christian (no, not the Pope!)? What is a democrat (no, not Kamala Harris!)? What is a patriot (no, most definitely not Trump!)? What is a tyrannical dictator (nope, not Putin!)?<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">You think that I am being facetious here?<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Then explain to me how a rabidly Takfiri regime like the one in Saudi Arabia can get help from Zionist Israel? Or how the \u201cdemocratic West\u201d gave its full support to Takfiris in Chechnia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Libya and Syria? How is it that during the so-called \u201cGlobal War on Terror\u201d, (which was supposed to be officially waged against al-Qaeda and its various local subsidiaries, in retaliation for 9\/11) the various Takfiri groups only got stronger? Yet what we really see is that the US provides training, financing, coordination and even close air support for pretty much every al-Qaeda type out there?<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">There are two phenomena which explain this gradual dissolution of meanings into meaningless and insipid categories: first, the correct meaning of many terms has been covered by a thick layer of ideological imperatives and, second, most 21<sup>st<\/sup> century politicians couldn\u2019t care less what any word really means. All they care about is framing the discussion in a way which makes it easy for them to obfuscate their numerous crimes.<\/h5>\n<h5>The truth about the Ukraine is very simple: yes, there are bona-fide Nazis in the Ukraine and, yes, they have a lot of influence due to their quasi monopoly on violence and total collapse of the state. True, these hardcore Ukronazi freaks are a rather small minority, but one which is well organized, well funded and fully prepared to use violence.<\/h5>\n<h5>There are also a lot of Zionists in the Ukraine. And while these folks silently hate each other, they hate (and fear!) Russia much, much more; just like mobsters can fight each other, but can unite against any common threat (such as, say, an honest police chief).<\/h5>\n<h5>Oh, and yes, there are also plenty of very influential Jews in the Ukraine (Kolomoiskii and Zelenskii being the two best known ones right now) and they have the full backing of the AngloZionist Empire and all of the Zionists interests in the West. And I think that most folks fully understand that. The real reason behind all the protests about me using terms such as \u201cUkronazi\u201d stems from a very different cause.<\/h5>\n<h5>The problem is that you get a lot of ruffled feathers when you suggest that the US, which is supposed to be some kind of \u201c<em>land of the free and the home of the brave<\/em>\u201d aka \u201c<em>the indispensable nation<\/em>\u201d is found in bed with the self same folks who the US propaganda machine paints as arch-villains: Nazis, of course, but also Takfiris. As for the Zionists, it would be wrong to say that the US of A is \u201cin bed\u201d with them. No, it\u2019s even worse: the much-maligned and ridiculed term of ZOG (as in \u201cZionist Occupation Government\u201d) is much more accurate, but it offends those who rather think of themselves as \u201crulers of the world\u201d than the voiceless serfs of a regime of foreign occupation!<\/h5>\n<h5>US Americans love to thump their chests while mantrically chanting some nonsense along the lines of \u201cUSA is number 1!\u201d and they get really mad when they are told that \u201cthe party is over\u201d which I did in <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.unz.com\/tsaker\/the-last-western-empire\/\">this article<\/a><\/span> in which I wrote:<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Both US Americans and Europeans will, for the very first time in their history, have to behave like civilized people, which means that their traditional \u201cmodel of development\u201d (ransacking the entire planet and robbing everybody blind) will have to be replaced by one in which these US Americans and Europeans will have to work like everybody else to accumulate riches<\/h5>\n<h5>And, just by coincidence, Paul Craig Roberts recently wrote an article entitled \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2019\/08\/19\/american-capitalism-is-based-on-plunder\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">American Capitalism Is <\/span><\/a><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2019\/08\/19\/american-capitalism-is-based-on-plunder\/\">Based On Plunder<\/a><\/span>\u201d in which he explained that US foreign policy is basically driven by a plunder imperative and that if that imperative cannot be realized abroad, it will be implemented at home (I wonder if he will be accused of being anti-American or even of \u201cCommunism\u201d? It is quite striking to see a paleo-conservative like Paul Craig Roberts basically paraphrasing Lenin and his statement that \u201c<em>imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism<\/em>\u201d (a historical truism which the western propaganda system is doing its best to bury, obfuscate, ridicule and the like).<\/h5>\n<h5>Writing things like these typically result in a barrage of <em>ad hominems<\/em> which, by itself, is quite telling (usually the same 2-3 folks, some probably remunerated for their efforts) There is a Russian saying that \u201c<em>the hat of the head of the thief is burning<\/em>\u201d (see <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/translate?hl=&amp;sl=ru&amp;tl=en&amp;u=https:\/\/premudrosty.ru\/na-vore-shapka-gorit.html\">here<\/a><\/span> for an explanation of this rather weird expression) and this is exactly what is happening here: the folks protesting the loudest are always the ones who are most unwilling to stop the planetary plunder, messianic arrogance and imperial hubris in which they were raised. It is not only their livelihoods which are threatened by such talk, but even their very identity. Hence the very real and very high level of rage they feel.<\/h5>\n<h5>Finally, there are all the Nazi sympathizers who absolutely hate Jews and for whom any notion of Nazi and Zionist collaboration are just as much a case of crimethink as it is for Zionist Jews to admit that they have collaborated with bona fide Nazis many times in the past.<\/h5>\n<h5>However, if we set aside silly ideological shackles, we can immediately observe that the kind of ideology of racial superiority which the Nazis are known for can also be found in the Judaic (religious) and Zionist (secular) ideologies. In fact, both National-Socialism and Zionism are just two amongst many more types of European nationalisms which have their root in 19<sup>th<\/sup> century ideological categories.<\/h5>\n<h5>Let\u2019s try a different approach: what do Ukie \u201c<em>dobrobats<\/em>\u201d, al-Qaeda forces in Syria, KLA units in Kosovo and Israeli settlers in Palestine have in common? Correct! They are all first and foremost <strong>thugs<\/strong> who all prey on the weak and defenseless. In other words, they are the perfect tool to force civilians to surrender and accept some kind of foreign rule. That foreign rule is, in each case, the one of the AngloZionist Empire, of course. This, in turn, means that their official ideologies are almost irrelevant, because in reality they are all servants of the Empire (whether they understand it or not).<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Conclusion one: it\u2019s all a big lie!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>Yes, it is a big lie. All of it. And this is how we end up with an Israeli Prime Minister who, by any criteria, is not only a Fascist, but also a Nazi as long as we make it clear that his brand of Nazism is a Jewish one, not a Germanic one. And it\u2019s not just Bibi Netanyahu who does not mind dealing with Ukronazis, so the the the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jta.org\/2019\/08\/26\/global\/rabbi-helps-dedicate-a-memorial-to-ukrainian-group-that-collaborated-with-the-nazis\/amp\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">here<\/span><\/a> for details). As for the said Ukronazis, they are now <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/world-news\/grandson-of-ukraine-s-stepan-bandera-reckons-with-legacy-of-nazi-collaboration-1.7731876?fbclid=IwAR0DgdUPO58yqfmv3GxpabU4ogVxC9nApNs6v3XAK4cSxcmvLz4g4fU19NQ\">trying hard to deny that Bandara and his gang massacred Jews during WWII<\/a><\/span>. As for Zelenskii, he is most definitely not a Nazi, but he has already caved in to the Ukronazi ideology (i.e. a form of Nazism which substitutes myths about \u201cancient Ukrs\u201d to the more traditional Germanic myths about the Aryan-Germanic \u201crace\u201d). Then there is Kolomoiskii who is simply a typical Jewish mobster who has no personal ideology whatsoever and who has no love for the <em>bona fide<\/em> Ukronazis, but who is being very careful about how to purge them from power lest they beat him <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/PrivatBank\">yet again<\/a><\/span>. And above them all, we have the leaders of the Empire who use ideological categories as slurs but who don\u2019t give a damn who they back as long as it is against Russia.<\/h5>\n<h5>Against this background it is worth asking a simple question: do these words even matter? Do they still have any kind of meaning?<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Conclusion two: yes, words do still matter!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h5>I believe that they do, very much so! This is precisely why the legacy corporate ziomedia and those brainwashed by it freak out when they see expressions such as \u201cAngloZionist\u201d,\u201cUkronazi\u201d or even the rather demure \u201cIsrael Lobby\u201d. When somebody comes up with a powerful and correct descriptor, say like \u201cZOG\u201d \u2013 the propaganda machine immediately kicks into high gear to shoot down in flames whatever author and article dared to use it. In fact, there are at least two types of wannabe word censors which typically show up:<\/h5>\n<h5>TYPE ONE: the real McCoy. These are the sincere folks (whether of the Nazi or Zionist persuasion) who are truly outraged and offended that such \u201challowed\u201d words as Nazi\/Zionist (pick one) can be combined with \u201cabominations\u201d such as Nazi\/Zionist (pick the other one). These are all the Third Reich nostalgics, the defenders of a \u201cWhite Christian West\u201d and all the rest of them neo-Nazis.<\/h5>\n<h5>TYPE TWO: the paid trolls. These are the folks whose task it is to obfuscate the real issues, to bury them under tons of vapid ideological nonsense; the best way to do that is to misdirect any discussion away from the original topic and sidetrack it into either a barrage of <em>ad hominems<\/em> or ideological clich\u00e9s.<\/h5>\n<h5>Seriously, what we are witnessing today is a new age of censorship in which government and corporations work hand in hand to crush (ban, censor, demonetize, algorithmically purge and otherwise silence) all those who challenge the official ideology and its many narratives. It would be na\u00efve to the extreme to assume that the so-called \u201calternative media\u201d and blogosphere have been spared such an effort at silencing ideological heresies.<\/h5>\n<h5>Next time these self-appointed enforcers of the politically correct <em>doxa <\/em>come out, try this experiment: when you read their comments, don\u2019t just look at what they write, but also try to guess <strong><em>why<\/em><\/strong> they write what they write and then mentally place a T1 or T2 sign next to their comments and you will soon see that they follow a careful pattern<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unz.com\/tsaker\/bibi-in-banderastan-or-the-importance-of-words\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Saker on why we shouldn\u2019t jump to conclusions about which contradictions are real, and which ones are only apparent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,58,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-194088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Current_Affairs","category-Israel_Anti-Semitism_Zionism_and_US-UK_allies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=194088"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194088\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":194097,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194088\/revisions\/194097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=194088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=194088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=194088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
