Night Of The Long Knives, Part 2

September 7, 2014

night of the long knives

Last March we predicted that the far-right government installed by the CIA in Ukraine would soon turn against the Nazi fighters that provided muscle for the recent coup. Now we see it happening as Ukrainian troops suffered huge losses against the breakaway Russian region. Here’s a summary from that article:

“Just months after State Department neo-con Victoria Nuland bragged that the U.S. had spent $5 billion to install a favorable government in Ukraine, a bloody purge is about to occur in that country. Two articles from this week set the stage for a repeat of “The Night of the Long Knives”, the murderous infighting between Hitler and Ernst Rohm. A detailed accounting of the June-July 1934 purge can be read in William Shirer’s “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”, but for the sake of readable links we will refer to the Wikipedia link Here.
The power struggle between Hitler and Rohm was based around the S.A., the brown shirted street toughs controlled by Rohm. According to the Wiki article, the German hierarchy was fed up with the thuggery of the S.A.:

“Hitler’s appointment as chancellor, followed by the suppression of all political parties except the Nazis, did not end the violence of the stormtroopers. Deprived of Communist party meetings to disrupt, the stormtroopers would sometimes run riot in the streets after a night of drinking. They would attack passers-by, and then attack the police who were called to stop them.[8] Complaints of “overbearing and loutish” behaviour by stormtroopers became common by the middle of 1933. The Foreign Office even complained of instances where brownshirts manhandled foreign diplomats.[9] The stormtroopers’ behaviour disturbed the German middle classes and other conservative elements in society, such as the army.”

Beginning on June 30th 1934, Hitler had Rohm arrested and the purge began. Rohm was shot to death in his prison cell and a minimum of 85 high ranking S.A. members were killed. Other political opponents of the regime were also done away with. Fast forward to present-day Kiev, where the core of the violent protestors were fascists associated with the memory of Stephan Bandera. Bandera was a Ukrainian nationalist that ran the OUN-B, which fought with the Nazis against the Russians during the war. These street fighters that provided the muscle that crushed the government are themselves being targeted by the new authorities.”

Now, here’s an excerpt from an article in ITAR-TASS:

“WASHINGTON, September 07,/ITAR-TASS/. Fighters of Ukrainian volunteer battalions that were encircled outside the city of Ilovaisk in late August are accusing the Kiev government of not supporting them and threaten to change the regime, Foreign Policy magazine said in an article published on its website on Saturday. The magazine correspondent met some of the fighters.

Over 800 servicemen killed in army operation in eastern Ukraine — spokesman
“The army didn’t come to help us we were in the corridor for two days and they didn’t come to help us, and that’s the worst part”, said a fighter from the Donbass volunteer battalion.

“All the battalions brought to Ilovaisk think the government betrayed us to destroy the volunteer battalions. The government fears us and wants to control us”. “All the battalions brought to Ilovaisk think the government betrayed us to destroy the volunteer battalions. The government fears us and wants to control us,” he said

The defeat at Ilovaisk and a series of similar losses across eastern Ukraine in recent weeks are part of what pressured Ukraine to head to the bargaining table for a cease-fire and peace plan negotiated on Friday.”

It appears that the government in Kiev is hanging the Nazi fighters out to dry, fearing the “Barbarians at the gate”.

Here’s an excerpt from a report in Washington’s Blog, at this link:
““all the signs are that the JRF [Junta Repression Forces] have reached their breaking point: this is the moment when a military force suddenly and completely collapses, like a dam which blows out under the pressure of water. The JRF is not retreating on one, two or even three directions, it is retreating everywhere (except north of Lugansk). Entire battalions are leaving the front under orders of their battalion commanders and without the approval of the Junta leaders. At least one such battalion commander is already being judged for desertion. The entire Ukie [Ukrainian Government] leadership seems to be in a panic mode, especially Yatseniuk and Kolomoiski, while the Nazis are mad as hell at the Poroshenko administration. There are constant rumors of an anti-Poroshenko coup by outraged Nazi nationalists. And then, there are the absolutely staggering Ukrainian losses..”

And history begins to repeat itself…

UPDATE:
Joseph Cannon over at “Cannonfire” has an article that confirms my “Night of the Long Knives” theory, Feb. 13 2015:

    I learned quite a bit in reading this huge book, which probably was meant for college classes. Indeed, the author of “Continental Reckoning”, Elliot West, is a Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Arkansas. This book should be in an Economic or Law history class, and probably is. Author Elliot West clearly outlines […]

    I found “Acid Dreams; The Complete History Of LSD: The CIA, The Sixties, And Beyond” a pretty good summary of the LSD experience, from the use of the drug in interrogation techniques used by intelligence agencies, to the use of such drugs to destabilize the revolutionary youth movement. At nearly 300 pages (my copy), it […]

He was the star of an NBA championship, which I pretty much didn’t care about. Later, Walton was doing […]
