Nazi Germany: The 1943 Joseph Goebbels ‘Tatanic’ Film! (9.5.2023)

09/05/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

The film entitled ‘Titanic’ – is a 1943 Nazi German propaganda film made during World War II in Berlin by Tobis Productions for UFA. This lavish production depicts the catastrophic sinking of RMS Titanic in 1912 – and the massive lose of life this tragic event entailed! Despite the fact that there had already been a very good ‘silent’ movie produced in Germany during 1912 (just four weeks after the actual sinking) and that a British company had subsequently released a German-language film about the disaster in 1929 – the film was still commissioned by Joseph Goebbels – with the intent of showing not only the superiority of German filmmaking (whilst the regime was suffering debilitating military losses on all fronts), but also serve as a propaganda tool portraying Hitler’s lunatic ideas that it was British and American capitalism (controlled by what he termed ‘International Jewry’) that was responsible for the disaster!

May 8th-May 9th – 78th Victory in Europe Day Remembering Our Relatives Who Fought in WWII! (9.5.2023)

May 8th and May 9th (Russia) commemorate the Allied Victory in Europe (VE) Day! The war in Asia would rage on for at least another four months until the Soviet Red Army was ready to ‘liberate’ Mainland China from the oppressive Yoke of the Imperial Japanese and their murderous ‘Gwantung Army’! What a magnificent generation of people existed in the world at that time! These people, if they were alive today (all our family Veterans have passed away) – they would not let a US or UK government ‘dictate’ to the people that we should support a US-backed Neo-Nazi ‘Maidan’ government in the Ukraine!

May 9th 2023 – Long Live the USSR – Long Live Russia – Long Live the Eternal Victory Over Fascism! (9.5.2023)

09/05/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

For many – the Unconditional Surrender of Nazi Germany to the USSR was the Victory of the Communist ideology over that of the hate filled ‘reactionary’ thinking as embodied in Hitler’s Mein Kampf – an anti-intellectual tract that certainly does not get better with age (or subsequent re-readings). In short, from an academic perspective their is no ‘hidden meaning’. This Hitlerite anti-intellectualism is the exact opposite to the reality of the philosophical texts as constructed by Marx and Engels. This still holds true when elaborating the texts of Lenin, Stalin and Mao (amongst others) are critically assessed. Joseph Stalin’s leadership of the Soviet System from 1933-1945 should form a separate study on its own – as he had to lead the Soviet people (following numerous re-elections into the post of ‘General Secretary’) during what must be termed the ‘Hitler Years’ – although the rise of Mussolini (1922-1945) [the more inept of the two fascist world leaders] must also be taken into account, as the emergence of the Catholic-based totalitarianism in Italy manifested on the world scene when Lenin’s health started to fail.

US Anti-Intelectualism: Washington’s Rules-Based World Order a Myth! (9.5.2023)

09/05/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

In fact, the U.S. government has a tradition of putting its domestic law above international law and selectively applies international rules as it sees fit. For example, Washington has enacted such domestic laws as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act and the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act to target and sanction specific countries, entities or individuals.

The ambiguous rules contained in these acts and executive orders, such as the “minimum contacts” rule and the “effects doctrine,” are a willful expansion of the jurisdiction of America’s domestic laws.

And for more than six decades, despite dozens of UN General Assembly resolutions, the United States has pressed ahead with its comprehensive blockade against Cuba, the longest and cruelest systemic trade embargo and financial sanctions in modern history, based on its embargo policies and domestic laws such as the Torricelli Act and the Helms-Burton Act. The blockade has led to over 100 billion U.S. dollars of direct losses to Cuba’s economy.

Eire: The “Green Legion” and Why the Catholic Dalliance with Fascism Has to Stop! (8.5.2023)

08/05/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

When Eire gained most of its independence from Britain in 1921, the Catholic Church did its utmost to destroy the ‘Socialist’ movement and divert its people toward the fascist ideology. This change in perspective can be seen through the example of Eoin O’Duffy and his descent into reaction. Eoin O’Duffy would eventually became the popular leader of the far-right ‘People’s National Party’ – which was closely aligned with Nazi Germany and its aims. Eoin O’Duffy even sent Adolf Hitler an offer that he would raise a ‘Green Legion’ of Irishmen to fight on the Russian Front. O’Duffy was no stranger to battle as he had previously led a 700 strong (pro-Franco) Irish Brigade in during Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). In the 1940s – O’Duffy spent time in Nazi Germany discussing a free Ireland – and how he could assist the Axis in its war against Britain.

My Job Application to ‘Asia-Plus’! (8.5.2023)

Of course, what you are NOT telling your audience is just how many ethnic Tajiks in Russia SUPPORT President Putin – and openly OPPOSE your editorial position – an anti-Russian position that was even ‘banned’ by the Tajik government – so repugnant did they find it! I am sure these differences in perceiving reality will not come between us – and prevent my snout from joining yours in the trough of plenty that is the endless flow of US dollars!
