HOME  DISINFORMATION  CRIMES Zionists launch another gratuitous attack on the Galicia Division What is most needed in this fight against the incessant dumping of disinformation into the mass media is to uncover to public view who is doing the dumping and why. We see below a Ukrainian reaction to yet another repetition of the baseless accusation � this time channelled through Britain's ITV television network � of vast numbers of Nazi war criminals hiding in the West, with the spotlight yet again being beamed on the Ukrainian Galicia Division. Well-argued though the Ukrainian response is, there is something missing from it which detracts from its effectiveness � and this is the broaching of the question of the source of the ITV bias.  To speak of the ITV error as if it were random, and not part of a demonstrable pattern, gives a measure of invisibility, and thus impunity, to those who are responsible for it � and who happen also to be those who have made the error many times in the past, and who are fully committed to making the error many more times in the future. Specifically, it has been documented on the Ukrainian Archive that inciting fear and hatred of Ukrainians is an integral part of Jewish culture.  This hypothesis has been discussed and substantiated in numerous documents, as for example the following six: Lubomyr Prytulak: The Plundering of Ukraine F. David Radler: The show trial of Michael Seifert The Waiting in Line photograph Morley Safer: The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes Sol Littman: Public Mischief or Querulous Paranoia? Bill Gladstone: Jewish hate literature What is missing from the Ukrainian response below, then, is a request to ITV to divulge who is responsible for the broadcast in question, and more specifically to disclose the degree to which that broadcast was a Jewish initiative and made without verification by impartial historians and without scrutiny of the evidence by impartial journalists.  What is most needed in this fight against the incessant dumping of disinformation into the mass media is to uncover to public view who is doing the dumping and why.

It is a matter of public record that following the passing of the War Crimes Bill in 1991, the War Crimes Unit of the Metropolitan police was charged with the task of investigating whether there was sufficient evidence to prosecute alleged war criminals living in this country. As long ago as March 1997 the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, Mr Timothy Kirkhope told the House of Commons that since May 1991, the Metropolitan police war crimes unit had considered 376 cases.  In 117 of those, the subject of the enquiries was confirmed dead.  In a further 253 cases, the evidence at that time was insufficient for the purposes of prosecution and the Crown Prosecution Service and the police agreed that no further action was to be taken, subject to the possibility that cases might be reopened should any further evidence come to light. That left 6 cases, of which 5 were then still under active consideration and investigation by the Crown Prosecution Service.  They related to allegations of murder or mass murder of Jewish and Soviet civilians in Belarus and Ukraine by persons who were then living in the UK.  In the remaining case, the defendant had been found by a jury to be unfit to stand trial and in order to bring the proceedings to an end, the Attorney-General entered a nolle prosequi. And so of the 376 cases investigated only Anthony Sawoniuk was ultimately convicted in March 1999 for war crimes committed in Belarus during the Second World War.  The previous year the war crimes unit was officially disbanded without any evidence being made available to the Crown Prosecution Service that would warrant further prosecutions of whomsoever in the UK, including former members of the Galizien Division living in the UK.  In the course of their investigations police officers from the war crimes unit travelled extensively throughout Eastern Europe to make their enquiries and to gather evidence.  The results of these investigations speak for themselves.  There is therefore a lack of evidence to support the thesis that apart from the convicted Mr Sawoniuk that there is even one more, let alone a vast number of war criminals, be they of whatever nationality, who have lived or are living in the UK.  Ten years before Mr Kirkhope�s statement to the House of Commons, in 1987, the Canadian Deschenes Commission and more recently in 1998 the Minister of Justice of Canada, having made their own separate investigations of war crimes allegations against members of the Galizien Division living in Canada, publicly declared that there was no evidence to support the allegations of war crimes against the Division. These are the freely available facts concerning the issue of war crime allegations against the Galizien Division as derived from reputable, esteemed and authoritative sources both in the UK and elsewhere. In putting together the documentary programme �SS in Britain� the producers have lacked objectivity and conveniently chosen to ignore the facts stated above, seemingly on the premise of never letting the truth get in the way of a good story.  Following a previous transmission of �SS in Britain� on the History Channel (24 September 1999) former members of the Galizien Division took grave issue with the programme�s bias, allegations, falsehoods, errors of omission and misrepresentations.  However their concerns have been seemingly dismissed and ignored by the programme�s producers who for whatever reason have decided that there can be only one interpretation of events in the Galizien Division�s history that merits their investigation. If the Crown Prosecution Service has at its disposal clear, unequivocal and damning evidence of war crime involvement against any person in the UK, irrespective of their nationality, and believes that there is a case to answer against them, then clearly it would be only too right and proper for charges to be preferred against that individual and for them to be subjected to the full weight of the British judicial system.  Sensationalist allegations that lead to �trial by television� programmes like �SS in Britain� rather than presenting objective evidence to those authorities who are specifically empowered with reviewing that evidence and thereafter prosecuting it, do regrettably simply undermine the concept of fairness and ultimately may prejudice the likelihood of finding unbiased jury members for when a war crimes trial should take place in the interests of justice. By comparison to the above measured and objective means of investigation of the war criminals issue, because of generalisations �SS in Britain� has irresponsibly done a huge disservice to the good name and reputation of the Ukrainian community at large in the United Kingdom.  More specifically to those genuine, honest, freedom-loving Ukrainians who exercised their patriotic duty to defend Ukraine and its people from the future terror and torment that Russian oppression and domination was to give them.  The producers of �SS in Britain� ought to be ashamed of themselves for foisting this suspect �trial by television� programme upon the Ukrainian community and more particularly so for transmitting it on the very day when Ukrainians here and worldwide, as Eastern Rite Christians, were celebrating the second millennium of the Birth of Christ.  This in itself is a display of an appalling lack of awareness and sensitivity.  The Ukrainian community in the UK have been scandalised by the programme �SS in Britain�.  They certainly deserve better treatment than that which has been meted out on this occasion. for and on behalf of The Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain Lubomyr Mazur JP PhD Fedir Kurlak President General Secretary cc.
