You said it will happen again if we don't understand this, and it's already happening again, but people don't recognize it, because they don't understand the role that the population played in it. Hitler was preoccupied with both the occult and with psychology, he used trusted professionals like teachers, doctors, nurses, and others to get his agenda over, we studied how he did it in the Milgrim experiment, and we learned to do what they did. Here in America we are governed by a system that incorporates these tactics. People don't recognize what's happening, and neither do they care, because they've been demoralized. It's interesting to hear you present a general overview, but have you considered the social engineering that was involved in leading up to these atrocities? Have you considered the role of laws in what happened? Where their moral compass was and how laws were constructed to confuse morality? I have so many questions because I think about where we're going wrong, where it's leading to, and how to turn the world around. I guess we're on a similar objective, but maybe we go about it in very different ways. Thank you for the lecture.
Oh and I know you're talking about Stalin, but he and Hitler were not so different, these monsters always use the same methods, they use kids to spy on their parents and community, they've been using kids for more than 2000 years, if you read the book of the Maccabees, the children were hung by their mother's necks and both were executed. It's a graphic description of what they did then, what Stalin and Hitler did, and what they are doing now. We studied Hitler's methodology, we didn't study Stalin, but the two are no different and that's why I referenced Hitler even though you were talking about Stalin. The same devil, same order, just different faces
The introduction has terrible pronounciation Hydrogen, rewilding, activity? biosphere, instution, 20 th century, reuse, views, .... ten minutes practise before hand would make a huge difference and save many replys
Thank you to all for the very interesting presentation. It is always a treat to hear Anne speak. She is one of the most important historians of this era. Her knowledge and insight is exceptional . She gives us a great awareness of modern eastern European history and warnings about the future .
I am so proud of you for breaking through that wall of silence concerning the Roma genocide by the Nazis! I pray that your people can grow strong and proud of their forebears who endured this criminality! May you know that your history; Roma history, is human history! You matter! You are important and precious!
We Polish never forget gypsys holocaust and in proper time we remind that again with all ours Slavic strenght and power because history like to be repeted . Be sure.
Eurasia 2024 Yahoo News Poroshenko says he is not allowed to attend Munich Conference over alleged threat to life Parliament Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk did not approve the delegation of former President Petro Poroshenko to the Munich Security Conference, citing alleged threats to his life abroad, Poroshenko claimed on Feb. 14, according to Interfax-Ukraine. The leader of the European Solidarity opposition party said he planned to meet Western leaders during the security-focused conference that will take place in Germany later this week. "The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (Ukraine's military intelligence agency, HUR), Kyrylo Budanov, for some reason informed Parliament Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk that immediately after crossing the Ukraine-Poland border, and in particular in Munich, I, as the fifth president and the opposition leader, will be in mortal danger," Poroshenko said at a press briefing after meeting Stefanchuk on Feb. 14. Poroshenko claimed that since German authorities would not be able to protect him during the visit, the only way to ensure his safety was to prevent his departure from Ukraine. euractiv/section/europe-s-east/news/former-ukraine-president-slams-zelenskyy-for-blocking-him-from-munich-security-conference/ "The Ukrainian press quoted Poroshenko, who was the president between 2014 and 2019, as saying that upon direct instruction from Zelenskyy, the Chairman of the Parliament of Ukraine Ruslan Stefanchuk banned his travel abroad. He said that according to an official letter from the chief of the Military Intelligence, Kyrylo Budanov, to Stefanchuk, he was facing the danger of being assassinated in Munich and German security would not be able to prevent an attack. In written comments to Euractiv, Poroshenko denounced it as an attack on democracy."
Ironically, she is herself a criminal. She supports fascist regimes; the latest being the one who hides behind the gold and blue flag. Being a "historian", she should be well aware of it. But she is a stooge for the US neocons (a docile stooge, a total sellout; that's why she won the Pulitzer, which is as meaningless as the Nobel Peace Prize, an instrument of propaganda) and a member of the NED, a regime-change outfit of the CIA, covertly (and not so covertly) interfering in democratic process around the world. So, obviously, her objectivity is highly questionable, to put it mildly. Fact is, she lies constantly in her articles.
There is a new need for understanding of what reality is to encompass time. Evolution of nature has is purpose, to which we can only just grasp. Which is expansion off planet if possible. Hence at its detriment to if it fails with one species or another. If fails from what is is the human race, life will go on and evolve. Nature/evolution is farming us. All the human races aptitude to be here and now has to overcome arrogance to greed at first step at least.
The 4th industrial revolution as the past 3rd before was only recognized 10 years plus average. Now we are approaching the 4th which is Hydrogen, Genetics and AI.
Fenômeno é o caralh@! Tudo isso é pra desmoralizar as pessoas que "MOSTRAM A VERDADE" E "COM PROVAS!" As coisas não não ditas e dane-se as provas, as pessoas PROVAM e mesmo com TUDO, um bando de ARROMBADOS, chamam de Fake News ou seja, o que o ânus deles, acharem que é verdade, aí OK, certo, mas que estranho, só ações de MARGINAIS ENGRAVATADOS, QUE PROVAM CARALH@ ALGUM, QUE É A PURA VERDADE, agora o reles cidadão, que "TRABALHA" e "NÃO ROUBA DINHEIRO PÚBLICO", o que fala e "MOSTRA", enfiaram na cabeça de IMBECILIZADOS, a frase Fake News. Em resumo, o que nunca vai a favor de "ARROMBADOS DA MÍDIA E NO PODER", vira Fake News. O interesse podre dessa HORDA/LEGIÃO DE VAGABUNDOS, vem do dinheiro do nosso bolso, que PROTEGEM MARGINAIS NOS PODERES, PARA TEREM DINHEIRO. Aqui no Brasil, BILHARES DE REAIS, SÃO DADOS A MÍDIA, que LAMBEM O RABO DE POLÍTICOS e um cidadãos que não compactuam com isso, tornam-se os mentirosos da pátria, MESMO MOSTRANDO AS PROVAS, COMO "BOCA DE URNA NAS ELEIÇÕES BRASILEIRAS,COM APREENSÕES DE MALOTES PARA COMPRA DE VOTOS", PEGOS PELA "POLÍCIA FEDERAL." E o que a mídia pútrida fez? Fake News, mesmo com POLÍCIA FEDERAL BRASILEIRA CONFIRMANDO e isso pra PROTEGEREM MARGINAL ROUBANDO O PODER! É para isso que a frase, Fake News, existem, pra DESTRUIR A VERDADE E O MONOPÓLIO DA VERDADE, ESTEJA NAS MÃOS DE MARGINAIS NO PODER E DA MÍDIA PROSTITUTA DO SISTEMA. E A PARTIR DISSO, MILHARES DE INJUSTIÇAS, ACONTECEM QUE LEVAM A PRISÕES E MORTES DE INOCENTES. Eles estão preocupados? Não! Para eles que ANISTIAM FACÇÕES CRIMINOSAS, morrer um inocente, vai para estatística. O bom que... Esses que cometem maldades propositais, mentindo, defendendo marginais no poder, facções criminosas... NÃO SÃO IMORTAIS E NA MORTE, PAGARÃO CARO POR TODAS AS INJUSTIÇAS COMETIDAS, porque SABIAM QUE ERAM INOCENTES, MAS O MAL NECROSADO NOS CORAÇÕES PODRE, sentiram prazer em destruírem a verdade das pessoas, MESMO PROVANDO! Aqui no Brasil, tem a lei do Artigo 138, sobre Caluniar pessoas ou criar fatos sem provas. Entenderam? TEM LEI, então, só será Fake News, SE A PESSOA, EMPRESA ETC, NÃO APRESENTAREM AS PROVAS. Mas DOENTES DA DESINFORMAÇÃO, "MESMO COM AS PROVAS", FALAM QUE É FAKE NEWS, então, a TODOS ELES UM BELO VÃO A M@RDA, porque isso DESRESPEITA O "ARTIGO 138 DA CONSTITUIÇÃO BRASILEIRA", porque se não prova, FAKE NEWS, SE PROVA TAMBÉM É FAKE NEWS?! ELES NÃO LIDAM COM PESSOAS IMBECILIZADAS! A corrupção do Caráter, Honra e Moral, PUTREFACTA A ALMA DOS HOMENS (MULHERES E HOMENS EM GERAL), mas, GRAÇAS A DEUS, QUE EU NUNCA ME CORROMPI, porque zelo pelas 3 características principais do ser humano e que deixa Legado.
Not true. The history of childhood is a nightmare from which we have only recently begun to awaken. The further back in history one goes, the lower the level of childcare, and the more likely children are to be killed, abandoned, beaten, terrorised and sexually abused.
Huge fan of Jeremy Rifkin. If you haven’t seen the documentaries “The Choice is ours” and “Paradise or Oblivion” I would highly recommend. Lots of overlap as we try to understand transitioning beyond scarcity, beyond capitalism. They’re some of my favorite documentaries.
THE ENEMY IS WAR. A MUTANT VIRUS. Great statement. Turning away from war. This is the essence of Richard Koenigsberg's work (LOOK ME UP ON THE INTERNET).
If her claim that a quarter of the 18 million people of the Gulag perished, we would expect, since there was no gas chambers that there should be millions of graves around those Gulag camps, the fact that they don’t exist is a proof that Anne Applebaums claims are dubious….
The interesting thing about Anne Applbaum’s lecture is that she doesn’t offer one single evidence to prove her claims, The Gulag was a work camp, not a death camp, there was no gas chambers to burn people, the practice of working prisoners was wide spread in the world at the time, she talks about terrible conditions between 1941-1945, but she doesn’t explain that those years were the war period when the USSR was in a terrible economic situation because of the war.
Applebaum claims that no one was exterminated in the Gulag camps and that a mere 25 million “went through” the Gulag Archipelago. Solzhenitsyn claimed that 66 million people were murdered, in the Gulag system. This is a huge discrepancy, which Applebaum does not clear up or even reference. Solzhenitsyn also describes the fate of “dangerous” intellectuals, who were sent to the uranium mines, with no protective clothes or gear, whatsoever. The healthiest individual could only be expected to last 18 months after being incarcerated in these camps. Applebaum implied that Stalin only used firing squads to exterminate people. But I have learned from many sources that Stalin also sent brigades of murderers and rapists to target whole towns, which Stalin didn’t like for political reasons. The caveat was that no one should be allowed to survive these attacks. This tactic was employed by the Polish communists, during the Solidarity movement, to attack protesting students at universities. Violent criminals were let loose on the student body, of these protesting universities. This happened in the 1980s! Our media in the West, ignored this. Applebaum also trivializes why less people were aware of these crimes against humanity, saying things like “people don’t really care about history.” I am grateful to Anne Applebaum for at least bringing attention to these communist crimes but, I also get the feeling that she is softening the acuity of these atrocities.
Because the media in the west doesn’t want to highlight the atrocities committed by a regime that the elites in the west, the Wall Street and the media back then, supported. The NY Times Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Walter Duranty, who covered Stalin and the Soviet Union in the 1930s, denied the existence of the forced famine in Ukraine (the Holodomor, 1932-33).
She is a genius. She is also up to no good, most likely. In 1932 and 1933, the United States should have set up food camps in every district of Ukraine, Japan, Africa and Asia. The average lawmaker of European national origin will want to feed Europeans. She should have set up many food camps in all places where there was hunger. Stalin wouldn't have stopped her. Action speaks for itself. She is up to no good.
Gulags are hard labor camps. Nazi war criminals were nearly always paid. Nazi war criminals were to stay a max of 10 years, max up to 1955. I ready that every year, starting from about 1946, while Stalin was still alive, about 10,000 Nazi POW prisoners were released every year. Early release was based of severity of crimes committed. Why East Germany was an ally of the Soviet Union, and had equal say on matters, such as POW release. Stalin : Nazi war criminals have relative and friends back in their home villages. I cannot allow death sentences on Nazi prisoner of war. Nazi wae criminals will work for any period between 1 year up to a max of 10 years.
Here the propaganda purpose of the youtube video maker is wrong. Nazis who had committed way too many atrocities:: 10 years of hard labor and release by 1955. Here the Nazis were wrong and the Soviet decisions were right, for a sentence to Nazi soldiers who took part in extensive atrocities. Sentence by Soviets: 10 years of hard labor. All Nazi prisoners of war given 10 years sentences for atrocities committed were to be released no later than 1955. This decision was right. Anyone from the Nazi military forces who killed more than 500 civilian villagers or 100 Soviet prisoners of war people were not given life term jail terms and not to be hanged. They were to be given a sentence of 10 years of hard labor. To be released in 1954 or 1955. Here, some were happy about it. Others said the Nazis who participated in massacres of civilian villagers in Belarus and Ukraine and Russia would rather die than work as a hard laborer foe 10 years till 1955. : They were give 10 years of hard labor. As per Stalin's orders all Nazi soldiers who had killed more than 100 civilians or massacred more than 100 Soviet poisoners of war will be given 10 years of hard labor sentence. To understand what happened in gulars for some prisoners of war in who committed atrocities during ww2, one has to understand the American prison system of the US. A Nazi after completing one year of hard year may have 9 years to re released. A serial killer in jail in the USA, America will suddenly confess to fellow convicts that he killed seven more men as a serial killer. Similarly, a Nazi has just completed one year of hard labor out of a 10 year sentence. Such a Nazi in a gulag for har labor work who committed atrocities may suddenly say something to the effect that he massacred 100 more villagers in a village 100 miles from Brest, Belarus. Outcome of this confession: The Nazi who committed is given more hard labor tasks as he had confessed to additional atrocities that he had additionally killed 100 villagers in Belarus. Nothing wrong in that.
I met Jeremy’s work in 2000 when he wrote The Age of Access. Since then, I’ve realized that what he says and writes or produces is just the reality we all are in. So, please pay attention to him! More than that, engage yourself.
