During the previous 20-th century there were 2 historical and social events when state forces killed millions of innocent civilians: Nazi’s Holocaust against Jews on occupied territories and Stalin’s repressions in the USSR. However, there are striking differences in attitude, perception and outcomes in relation to these events.
During the previous century there were 2 historical episodes when state forces killed millions of innocent civilians: Nazi’s Holocaust against Jews on occupied territories and Stalin’s repressions in the USSR. However, there are striking differences in attitude, perception and outcomes in relation to these events.
Germany and allied forces transformed Nazi’s concentrations camps into dozens of national museums. Up to 1-2 decades ago, international authorities were searching Nazi war criminals in Latin America and other countries so that to persecute those who avoided Nuremberg and other tribunals. Thousands of movies and books have been produced about lives, suffering and deaths of persecuted Jews on occupied territories. Thousands of events take place every year world-wide to commemorate the victory and remember lives lost.
What about modern Russia? There is no a single state museum related to deaths of millions in Siberian Gulag labour camps. KGB Gulag leaders, the spiritual leaders of Siberian slaughter factories, have been getting their pensions from the Russian government all these decades. Keeping control of the Soviet and Russian state security forces in Siberia allowed them to adapt to modern times using a tactic of random killing and bullying those people and organizations who have tried to expose them. (This tactic, when modern Siberian KGB thugs dispatch assassins so that to kill anybody who associates with “unpleasant” to them people, organizations, or events, is described in a separate article.)
Survivors of Holocaust are viewed and honoured as winners, whose struggle and suffering brought peace and more developed social order on Earth. New generations of young people are taught that their world of opportunities is possible due to suffering, deaths and struggle of millions of Jews against Nazis.
Survivals of Stalinist’s repressions are viewed as losers who were unlucky to be in wrong time in a wrong place. Soviet victims did not bring any victory: they wasted their lives and times on useless suffering. Stalin has been recently voted by Russian population as the third most popular man in history of Russia.
German Nazis are considered as silly people who were fooled by Hitler’s propaganda. They deserve our pity and regret. Existing Gulag leaders (they are now in their 70s and 80s) are still flourishing and, no matter what Russian officials say about “excessiveness” (!?) of past persecutions, the actions teach modern population more. (Gulag murderers still get their special pensions for their “civil” service from the Russian state.)
The current situation in Russia in relation to Stalinists’ repressions is full of very strong emotions, positions, arguments, fantasies, and myths among political parties, their leaders, state officials, etc. However, if we remove all superficial ideological bubbles, the essence of Soviet repressions and KGB logistic was very primitive. How to analyze them? It is very simple and easy. We should not focus here on fantasies, myths, ideologies, and other spiritual things, but on what practically matters, “What did they do to other people?”
KGB agents organized killings of millions of totally innocent other Soviet citizens including children and the aged. German Nazis were less silly since they were fooled into killing other nations, not their own. (Milgram study was a similar example of fooling by authority into killing of the innocent others under pretence of studying “science and learning”).
The next question is: How can Russia and the world heal past wounds and prevent new crimes of those Siberian KGB-FSB (Federal Security Service of Russia) mass murderers who continue to harass and bully the world?
The Key Cause of Coughing is Discovered
Clinical experience and numerous medical trials have revealed that breathing training eliminates symptoms in asthmatics. Cough is the most prominent symptom in asthma. Hence, breathing abnormalities are responsible for the urge-to-cough reflex. This article explains the mechanism of coughing and its only cause: chronic hyperventilation.
World Wide Web Lies about Best Sleep Positions
Modern internet sites and articles suggest sleeping on one's back (supine sleep) as the best sleeping option. Meanwhile, medical research has totally the opposite opinion. Furthermore, other medical studies have found that supine sleep is among the leading causes of mortality in the severely sick due to acute states or exacerbations of asthma, heart disease, epilepsy, COPD, and many other conditions since early morning hours have highest mortality rates.
The Covert Connection: Sleep Deprivation and GI Distress as Tools in Intelligence Operations
Sleep deprivation and gastrointestinal (GI) issues are not just common health problems; they are also reportedly used as subtle techniques by intelligence agencies like the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to incapacitate individuals subtly and covertly. These methods, which leave minimal trace and are difficult to attribute directly to foul play, are part of a broader strategy to manipulate and undermine targets without the need for violent or easily traceable actions.
