Editor’s note: I wish to do this episode justice because not merely because it is a monument that glorifies the worst the world has to offer. Not merely because, despite the empty phrase-mongering of “Never Again”, this monument glorifies people who perpetuated the worst of the holocaust. In fact, some of the people for whom there are monuments in the “tribute to liberty” were so brutal that members of the Gestapo wrote to Himmler telling him how horrified they were. None of this should have happened.

The real horror hit me after I used Yandex to do a Russian-language name search of Roman Shukheyvich. My roommate heard me scream when I saw the first image of his horror. I cannot post the image because it is too horrific, but I will post a monument to the victims of this horror.

No one should have been able to raise enough of a lobby to get the government of Canada to fund the “Tribute to Liberty” and after the truth came out, they should not have been able to, so brazenly, in public raise enough money to build the memorial anyways.

Thanks to my adhd, where I am extremely bad at estimating the time it takes to do certain tasks such as build a guide to all those who are memorialized in the Tribute to Liberty monument, the release of this episode kept on getting delayed.

I finally realized that the reason why Canadians “ignorantly” commemorated complete monsters is because most westerners aren’t taught about World War 2 in its fullest.

There is a logical reason why any capitalist, imperialist country would not want to teach their people about the economics of fascism.

Coupled with this ignorance of the economics of fascism, in order to make the west’s actions seem justifiable in the cold war, the eastern campaign is fully ignored. Now, people will never be able to draw the obvious connection between “anti-communist exiles” and “pro-democracy dissidents” and genocidal Nazis.

However, there are a lot of bricks in this monument and it cannot be all accomplished in a day. However, I believe these bricks do tell us a lot about the US, Canada, and their actions in the past 100 years and who they consider allies and why.

The month of December will be dedicated to exposing the true nature of as many brings and monuments as possible with our “Featured Victims of Communism”

In the USA, there is a myth that “America stands for freedom across the world” and in my years of research for this podcast and blog, I have yet to find such an example. I have found many examples where the US fights to preserve capitalism at all cost. Unfortunately, a large portion of the US population has been satiated by the supply of relatively cheap goods into the US and because relatively cheap goods keep coming regularly, they do not have to “think” too much about the state of the world. In fact, it is better for the US government, if most people do not think too much about the state of the world. Because once someone starts thinking, they will investigate and the more people investigate, the less they like.

By design, most Americans do not think about the state of the world. They are relatively happy imbibing these myths that have been fed to them since childhood. But because of the education system, most Americans are trained to question as little as possible. On top of it, because most Americans are paid “just not enough,” they will be working long hours where they won’t have too much time to think. Because of the US cult of “rugged individualism,” most Americans will not be able to fight back when their rights are violated.

Most Americans can’t fight back because you can’t fight what you don’t know. Operation Gladio is one of those unique operations that will disturb anyone. It breaks the myth that the US stands for “Freedom across the world” because the US aligned with the worst of the world (Nazis) to fight Democracy in Italy. Operation Gladio is one of the few very well documented events that even the worst sceptic cannot find “loopholes” to argue why the US was “actually doing the right thing.”

With that, air this second episode with the hope that it will spark even one person’s curiosity to learn more about the state of the world and the “Gangster Nature of the our state” as Michael Parenti would put it.

A better world is possible, but we cannot fix what we don’t know.
