IRISH AND UKRANIAN REGIMES UNLIKELY BEDFELLOWS by Donal Kennedy

 

 

 
If an Irish Government were to mirror the one in Kiev it would ban the English language
and the study of English literature.
 
It would also outlaw the Church of Ireland, part of the Anglican Communion.
 
I’m not joking.
 
I cannot understand how any half-decent human being can identify with the
Kiev regime.
 
Back in the 1930s when the Nuremberg decrees stripped German Jews of their
rights Eamon de Valera condemned the Nazi measures. Cannot today’s Fianna Fail
leaders follow his example?
 
Fine Gael follows the example of Desmond Fitzgerald who attacked Dev for his
lack of respect for Hitler (whose coming to power was celebrated by the Unionist
Irish Times).
 
Leo Varadker, in an unforgivable episode visited Kiev to worship its regime,
and out-clowned its leader by depicting Dev as a pro-Nazi. Dev, according
to himself, was not a Doctrinaire Republican. But in word and deed he was
consistently an unbending Democrat.

    TRUTH … definitely not. He constantly lies and twists the truth, especially about what he calls “Russian Liberation” Regularly repeating current Russian Propaganda on that subject.

    “” , –

    Promoting the term “liberation” to denote the entry of the Red Army into several European countries – in 1939, 1944–45 and later on – was a fundamental element and starting point for image-building activities intended to disguise Soviet imperialism and Joseph Stalin’s policy towards these countries. In diplomacy and international contacts, the Soviets made sure that the phrase became the most important and the most widely used term describing the activity of the Red Army in Europe. Printed in huge numbers manifestos, brochures, flyers, and propaganda posters always referred to the Red Army as “liberating”, underlying the fact that “we liberated Europe”. That is why the construction of monuments expressing the local people’s gratitude for liberation was ordered immediately after the Soviet troops entered a captured territory. Many of the monuments were erected within weeks of the Red Army’s arrival, and others added later; it was all part of a coherent and intentional propaganda program.
