FD ROOSEVELT vs. BARACK
OBAMA
PLUS TODAY BRIGADES
AGAINST FASCISM IN UKRAINE
Historical notes from Eric
Zuesse:
1- FD ROOSEVELT vs. BARACK
OBAMA
The great Democratic President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the exact opposite of Barack Obama.
Whereas Obama installed nazism into control of Ukraine in February
2014, FDR on 10 March 1945 wrote to the U.S. Ambassador
in Spain telling him to reject from Spain’s fascist
dictator Francisco Franco, “actions more favorable to us now that we
are about to achieve our goal of complete victory over these enemies
of ours with whom the present Spanish regime identified itself,” and
that, to the contrary of our accepting Franco’s advances,
“Our victory over Germany will carry with it the extermination of Nazi and similar ideologies,” such as Franco’s, and especially such as Obama has recently installed into Ukraine, nazi.
Whereas FDR was passionately anti-fascist, Obama is secretly not just fascist but racist-fascist, or nazi (against Russians, this being the racism that he’s installed into power in Kiev), and is anti-fascist only in his lying rhetoric, but the exact opposite of anti-fascist in his real actions as U.S. President.
For Democrats not to impeach Obama
would be for the Democratic Party to nullify itself, to simply end: to have no
principles left that meaningfully and clearly distinguish the Democratic Party
from the conservative Republican Party. This will be the ultimate test of
whether there’s anything remaining of the Democratic Party that FDR led.
2- INTERNATIONAL BRIGADES against fascism re-STARTED
At the end of 1930s the poet Cesar Vallejo and other Peruvians
went to Spain to fight the Nazis, today Spaniards are coming to help protect
Russians against the fascists.
Eric Zuesse report:
According
to 22-year-old Angel, a turning point for him was the Odessa tragedy,
which killed more than 40 people. “I could not bear to see this barbarity and
feel that I can not do anything – he told reporters. – If this had happened in
Spain, I could become one of the victims.” Then, Angel took the money set aside
for a vacation to the UK, and went instead to help the militia. “Before the
start of the youth wing of the Communist Party of Peoples of Spain (PCPE), he
was a member of the youth wing of the Communist Party of Spain (PCE), part of
the “United Left “- the article says.
Another
Spanish volunteer activist is the social worker and professional rescuer
Rafael.
As a
result, these two like-minded people communicated via social networks, and flew
to Ukraine on 23 July.
They
remembered as they appeared in Kiev: at the station they encountered the
officials. “Then there were the security services, armed with machine guns,”
says Angel. “We were separated and bundled into different cars. We were very
scared, we were shouted at, over and over again, the same questions in English:
‘What’s your name?’, ‘Why are you going to the east?’, ‘What are your plans?’”
They were released, but not before being forced to sign a document, “which will
make them criminals if they return to Ukraine.” But the men still went to the
east, where they joined the militia. As long as they do not understand the
language, they’ll try to learn it, the article says. “They only know the
nickname of his commander, who is called Dusman.
He listens
to former plumbers, electricians and teachers, who now have taken up arms.
Their age – from 20 to 60 years.” Angel says that he is ready to go into
battle, “to defend this nation against Nazi bastards.” “We realized how much
risk we face,” said Rafael. “Probably, if the defense fails, … if we see that
all is lost, or if the civilian population will support [the Nazis], we’ll
leave [go back to Spain].” But in the event of an outright victory over the
junta, Angel expressed a desire to live here.
