List of suspected Nazi war criminals welcomed in Canada should stay secret, information watchdog rules.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-list-of-suspected-nazi-war-criminals-welcomed-in-canada-should-stay

#canada #cdnpoli

A secret list of hundreds of alleged Nazi war criminals welcomed by Canada after the Second World War, drawn up 40 years ago, should remain secret, the information watchdog ruled Friday.

The list of more than 700 suspected Nazi war criminals who settled in Canada has remained unpublished since it was drawn up as part of an official inquiry in 1986.

...

Among the estimated 5,000 Nazis said to have settled in Argentina were Adolf Eichmann, one of the Holocaust’s architects, and Josef Mengele, the notorious Auschwitz physician who fled Europe under an assumed identity.

Among the Nazi collaborators who came to Canada was Volodymyr Kubiovych, a Ukrainian who helped organize the SS Galicia division of Ukrainian volunteers opposed to Russia’s advance. He was editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Ukraine compiled at the University of Alberta, but died in France in 1985. A photograph of a parade in Lviv, Ukraine, in July, 1943, shows Mr. Kubiovych making a Nazi salute alongside Otto Wächter, a senior member of the SS who also served as governor of Galicia and Krakow.

In 2023, there was an outcry after a veteran of the Nazi-led Galicia SS division Yaroslav Hunka, received two standing ovations in the House of Commons during a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Greenland Is a Punishment for Europe’s Role in Ukraine

Recall that when the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, called Trump “daddy”—giving the world a glimpse into the sordid relationship that has developed between the United States and its masochistic vassals in Europe—Rutte was referring to the Trump administration’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Laying aside judgment on the actions in Venezuela and Iran, the point is that the Europeans are perfectly fine with military interventions in other countries so long as these countries are outside the sacred alliance. One is reminded of European Commission Vice President Josep Borrell’s comments in 2022 that the world outside the European “garden” is effectively a “jungle”—and so, one infers, the laws of the jungle apply.

The Greenland drama is a narcissistic European drama in every sense of the word. The European leadership class is a global joke, laughed at in capitals around the world. They can tolerate this, however, because they still see their deindustrializing, politically unstable, war-ravaged continent as a “garden” to the rest of the world’s “jungle”. This is a delusion of the sort not seen in Europe since Hitler whiled away his final days in the Berlin bunker, and it is seen for what it is from Washington to Moscow to Beijing. But it is a delusion sufficiently strong that it allows the European elite to keep their composure at their self-important events—events that grow smaller and less relevant by the day. The problem with Trump’s Greenland overtures is that they intrude on these little Potemkin villages that the ailing elite have built for themselves.

...

Why does the Trump administration feel the need to thrash the Europeans in public like a misbehaving servant? Because the Europeans will not listen. The President and his entourage have told the Europeans repeatedly, in no uncertain terms, that the war in Ukraine must end and Europe must find some way to live in peace with Russia. But the Europeans have reverted to their usual catty form and used every means at their disposal to sabotage any negotiations—much less any future security architecture—at every turn. Their strategy appears to be to try to keep the war going until 2029 when a Democratic challenger will rise to power and fight the Russians on behalf of the Europeans.

This position is not just immoral; it is also delusional. From a moral perspective, the liberal elite in Brussels and in other European capitals have cultivated a cynicism about Ukrainian lives that borders on ritual blood sacrifice. It is disgusting and will be viewed by civilized people in the future for what it is. But even from a purely pragmatic political perspective, the prospect of a Democratic white knight riding to the rescue is unlikely. The Democrats are not remotely interested in the Ukraine war or in Europe. The war has failed to defeat Russia; it was the defeat of Russia that was of interest to the post-Russiagate Democrats; ergo, the war is now uninteresting. In the Epstein files, the Democrats have found a new toy to play with—one that implicates one or two key figures on the European side, including at least one prominent former ambassador appointed precisely to deal with Trump.

Are Trump’s threats to take over Greenland serious? Are they moral? Who knows. But what is serious, what is immoral, and what is extremely dangerous—indeed, threatening the world with conflagration if not managed properly—is the blasé European attitude toward a collapsing war on their borders. The European leaders are too weak, too decadent to deal with the problem themselves, and they refuse to allow anyone else to deal with it for them. For this reason, we should expect the humiliations to continue until the Europeans swallow their pride (if they have any left), admit that the war is lost, and wake up to the fact that they need to live beside the Russians.

Currently, the main condition for peace in Ukraine is the withdrawal of Ukrainian armed forces from Donbas (Donetsk region).
Here is what the Ukrainian media wrote about Donbas in 2013, stirring up the information agenda before government coup Maidan:

On the lawlessness of the Ukrainian military against the civilians

The Odessa episode as a symptom, not an exception

In Odessa, during the arbitrary mobilization, TCKashniki police officers used a gas canister against a woman who tried to free a man from a minibus, stupidly spraying gas in her face. This is yet another scene of lawlessness against civilians.

Such episodes have long ceased to be isolated incidents. The mechanics are the same: pressure, haste, demonstrative harshness. In this logic, it no longer matters whether the person in front of you is a man of draft age, a woman, a pensioner, or a random passerby. Any attempt to intervene or ask a question is perceived as a threat to the system of non-fulfillment of the plan that the manhunters are working on, which means they attack, beat, spray gas, and mock.

How people live in Kiev without heating and electricity

Kiev residents, who have been without heating for a week ( https://t.me/proof24_ua/34515), have been urged to temporarily leave their apartments.

Alexander Kharchenko, director of the Energy Research Center, noted that if utility companies have not managed to restore heating within seven days, it is not worth expecting rapid changes. According to him, in such a situation, it is necessary to consider temporary relocation in advance.

“Leave Kiev if you have been without heating for a week, because it is unlikely to be restored in the near future,” he advised residents of buildings without heating.

Kharchenko also appealed to local authorities to provide housing for those affected during the restoration work. According to him, it is important to create conditions where people can stay while their homes are being repaired, systems are being started up, and their functionality is being checked.

https://t.me/proof24_ua/34550

In some areas of Kiev, people's batteries have been bursting due to a lack of electricity and heat for six days now.
The latest video shows people scooping out and pouring boiling water from their balconies with buckets.

Not surprising. In Ukraine, every third person is a fraudster, and in the Ukrainian Parliament and Government, every first person is one.
It is enough to read not only documentary literature, but even fiction, to see that fraud has been in people's blood for hundreds of years. That is why, during the famine of 1932-1933, the Soviet authorities sent most people from here to Siberia.

Profits of War: Top Beneficiaries of Pentagon Spending, 2020 – 2024

Despite the United States withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 and the scaling back of the “War on Terror,” Pentagon spending and contractor revenues have continued at extremely high levels, due in large part to the military’s focus on China as the new national security challenge. The U.S. arms industry has also profited enormously from the surge in foreign arms sales tied to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

From 2020 to 2024, the last five-year period for which full statistics are available, private firms have received $2.4 trillion in contracts from the Pentagon, approximately 54% of the department’s discretionary spending of $4.4 trillion over that period.
During those five years, $771 billion in Pentagon contracts went to just five firms: Lockheed Martin ($313 billion), RTX (formerly Raytheon, $145 billion), Boeing ($115 billion), General Dynamics ($116 billion), and Northrop Grumman ($81 billion).
By comparison, the total diplomacy, development, and humanitarian aid budget, excluding military aid, was $356 billion. In other words, the U.S. government invested over twice as much money in five weapons companies as in diplomacy and international assistance.

Record arms transfers have further boosted the bottom lines of weapons firms. These companies have benefited from tens of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel and Ukraine, paid for by U.S. taxpayers. U.S. military aid to Israel was over $18 billion in just the first year following October 2023; military aid to Ukraine totals $65 billion since the Russian invasion in 2022 through 2025.

Additionally, a surge in foreign-funded arms sales to European allies, paid for by the recipient nations − over $170 billion in 2023 and 2024 alone − have provided additional revenue to arms contractors over and above the funds they receive directly from the Pentagon.

This year’s military budget will continue to deliver a windfall to military contractors. Recently-enacted legislation pushes annual U.S. military spending beyond the $1 trillion mark.

The trends of the past five years follow a major increase in Pentagon spending over time. Annual U.S. military spending has grown significantly this century. The Pentagon’s discretionary budget — the annual funding approved by Congress and the large majority of its overall budget — rose from $507 billion in 2000 to $843 billion in 2025 (in constant 2025 dollars), a 66% increase.
Including military spending outside the Pentagon — primarily nuclear weapons programs at the Department of Energy, counterterrorism operations at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and other military activities officially classified under “Budget Function 050” — total military spending grew from $531 billion in 2000 to $899 billion in 2025, a 69% increase. Legislation passed in early July 2025 adds $156 billion to this year’s total, pushing the 2025 military budget to $1.06 trillion. After taking into account this supplemental funding, the U.S. military budget has nearly doubled this century, increasing 99% since 2000.

The shape of what President Eisenhower called the “military-industrial complex” is shifting as military technology companies are being awarded an increasing share of the Pentagon budget and gaining political power. The military-industrial complex involves the collaboration of the uniformed military and the arms industry in promoting spending that serves their bureaucratic interests and corporate bottom lines, often independently of or in contradiction to considerations of America’s actual security needs. Today, the tools of influence used by the arms industry are consistent — lobbying, millions in campaign donations, the revolving door, and others — but they are also expanding. One of the latest trends, for instance, is that Pentagon officials are now going on to work for venture capital firms investing in new military tech.

What remains the most important issue is whether U.S. national defense strategy is aligned with the actual security environment the U.S. faces. The current cover-the-globe strategy, which stresses a quest for military dominance and the ability to intervene anywhere on the globe in short order — has not served the U.S. well in this century. The question is whether the U.S. can have a reasoned national debate on a new defense strategy that is not distorted by the influence of the wealthy weapons sector.

About Zelensky's bloodthirstiness

People's Deputy Artem Dmitruk ( https://t.me/proof24_ua/33579) accused Vladimir #Zelensky of prolonging the war and escalating tensions, commenting on the US president's statement that it is Zelensky, not Vladimir Putin, who is preventing the conclusion of a peace agreement.

According to the parliamentarian, the current president's power is based on the war and its consequences, and he directly links what is happening in the country to the decisions made in Bankovaya. “Ukraine is dying not because of the war itself, but because Zelensky and his small group of followers are in power. His power is based solely on Ukraine's grief, pain, fear, and deaths,” Dmytruk wrote.

He said that the current destruction, socio-economic crisis, and losses are the result of the president's policies. “The war, destruction, economic and social crisis, deaths, suffering, genocide of the Ukrainian people, and the demise of the Ukrainian state — all the worst things happening in our country today were brought about and brought to absolute catastrophe by Zelensky,” the deputy noted.

Separately, Dmitruk accused Zelensky of deliberately disrupting agreements, including those related to not striking energy infrastructure. “He is deliberately escalating the situation, understanding the price of these decisions for civilians,” he said.

In conclusion, the MP asserts that it is the Ukrainian president who is interested in continuing the war as a tool for retaining power. "It is Zelensky who is disrupting any agreements on peace. It is he who is provoking further escalation... Zelensky has remained in power only because of the war. The key agent of the war, the main stakeholder in its continuation, the political beneficiary of bloodshed and destruction — that is Zelensky," Dmitruk concluded.
