John Demjanjuk: http://www.willzuzak.ca/fc/2001/2001.html
There are eighteen articles on the efforts
of the OSI and the U.S. Immigration authorities to extradite John
Demjanjuk to
Germany. The whole month of April 2009 was a circus of legal
maneuverings, media
hype and actual removal of Mr. Demjanjuk from his home on 14Apr2009,
only to be
returned that evening because of a court order. The reader is
encouraged to
review the links in my composition “Evil Machinations of the OSI
against John
Demjanjuk” to counter some of the media distortions. As of 01May2009,
Mr.
Demjanjuk is still at home.

Ukrainophobia:
Reproduced below is a 28Apr2009
Internet
distribution by Anatoliy K, which refers to the killing of Ukrainian
patriot
Maksym Chayka by pro-Russians in Odesa on 19Apr2009. The 24Apr2009 TV
program
of Savik Shuster at
http://shuster.kanalukraina.tv/video/
provides a good overview of the incident
and the situation in Ukraine. (This discussion is carried out in both
Russian
and Ukrainian and involves deputies of the Verkhovna Rada and other
prominent
Ukrainian personalities.)

My
respected colleagues, friends and
acquaintances,
In
case any of you is not aware, there is
an all out information war against Ukraine on the internet for the last
decade
or so. The war has intensified recently with Russian agents using
youtube and
other popular internet websites to slander the Ukrainian nation,
people,
language, The Holodomor and the Ukrainian culture. The goal is simple -
to
break Ukraine into pieces and create a pro Russian state in the south
and east.
Youtube
sites like the following:
http://www.youtube.com/user/Co6a4eHok Where
videoes like the following are posted are picking up
steam.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT9MkAmQth4&feature=channel_page
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7ihqJbBrmI&feature=channel
Denial of the Holodomor is popular. The
popular opinion of these Russian agents is that Yuschenko suddenly
dreamed up
the Holodomor.
Russia
has also started using popular and
intelligent Ukrainian citizens in this war. The latest victim being
Anatolij
Vasserman, a political consultant and long time contestant on Russia's
version
of Jeopardy. His website - http://awas1952.livejournal.com/ is
full of anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, beginning with the idea that the
Ukrainian
nation was created by the Austrians and Poles and that the Ukrainian
language
is a dialect of Russian. Beyond that he promotes the idea of getting
rid of
Halychyna and attaching the rest of Ukraine to Russia. This may seem
like just
simple internet babble, but it is not. Wasserman actually is well
respected in
Ukraine and has a cult-following. The recent killing of Ukrainian
patriot
Maksym Chajka by pro-Russians in Odessa is proof of how far this has
gone.
Talkshows
continue to feed into this
anti-Ukrainian rhetoric. With the party Svoboda winning in Ternopil
oblast,
talk shows like Savik Shusters - see for yourself http://shuster.kanalukraina.tv/video/1963_ugrozhaet_li_ukraine_neofashizm?/continue
to promote western Ukraine as anti-semetic, racist and facist. And
Eastern
Ukraine is seen as pro-Russian, with a population that no longer wishes
to be
in one state with the Banderite from the west.
I
bring this to your attention in this
election year in Ukraine so that you are all aware. With the economy in
disarray
in Ukraine, there is no time like now for Russia to pounce on Ukraine.
We can
remain silent and become little Russians or we can fight the good fight
that
our forefathers did so bravely.
May
the truth always set us free.
Sincerely,
ALK
