We may not like it, but we can't say that corruption in Argentina – as in most countries
– is new.
The truth is that since the first government meeting, back in 1810, virtually no Argentine
government has been free of suspicion.
Yep... the possibilities are almost endless... and the incentives, very generous.
And don't think it's just a matter of sticking your hand in and you're done, most corruption
cases are much more convoluted.
However, folks, what has been uncovered in recent years goes much further.
We're talking about the realization that in Argentina there has been a systematic process,
led by the nation's own government, with the objective of looting the country's public
treasury on a rather large scale.
And… we're not talking about the occasional bribe… but of billions of dollars that,
given the evidence, seem to have been stolen during the Peronist governments of Néstor
Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
The news comes almost daily, but this video's goal is to tell you how it all started, what
happened, and how this plot worked-- a plot which the very Presidency of the Republic
was involved... as well as dozens of politicians, judges, officials and many of the most important
businessmen in the country.
Folks, this looting operation's plot, known as the "notebooks", began with the arrival
of Néstor Kirchner in May 2003 and continued under the presidency of his wife, Cristina
Fernández de Kirchner until 2015.
That is to say, the systematic pillaging of the public coffers happened for more than
a decade.
Now, before we look into what this consisted of and how much money it meant for the Argentines,
we have to answer some questions about the real protagonists of this story: the Kirchners.
Who are they?
How did they get into power?
How did they manage to set what is perhaps the biggest operation in Argentina's history
of public coffers looting into motion?
Listen up.
(AUDIO: THE KIRCHNER'S ASCENT)
Two provincial politicians who managed to own Argentina for years.
Folks, it all began with a beautiful love story between two young university students.
Néstor and Cristina met in the mid-70s while studying law at the National University of
La Plata in Buenos Aires.
Love soon bloomed and in 1976, after the military coup led by Lieutenant General Jorge Rafael
Videla, our two lovers decided to leave to work as lawyers in the city of Río Gallegos
[GA-YE-GOS], in the province of Santa Cruz.
A city that by the way is far away from the capital, more than 2,650 km away!
If we'd been asked at that time about this couple's political future, we probably wouldn't
have mentioned national politics.
However... after democracy returned in 1983, this nice lawyer couple joined the Peronist
Party... and it was there folks, that the career of those who became Argentina's Underwoods
really began...
Well, now that I think about it...
I think it was the Underwoods who became the Kirchners of the political series.
A relationship made by and for power.
First, in 1987 Néstor Kirchner was elected mayor of Río Gallegos, and a few years later,
in 1991, Governor of the Province of Santa Cruz.
Then finally, in 2003, he became President of the Republic of Argentina.
And during this time, Cristina Fernández didn't stay on the sidelines.
She made her career in the legislative chambers, as provincial deputy, national deputy and
national senator... until in 2007, she arrived at the Presidency of the Republic.
And... then, in 2015, she went back to the Senate.
Yes, it seems that the Kirchners had it very, very clear: between the legal profession and
politics...
Politics.
More than 30 years living off of taxpayers.
Now that's a career...
However... just a moment.
The province of Santa Cruz, which is where the
Kirchners began their political career isn't only far from the capital, which after all
is the center of power, but in 2001 its population didn't reach 200,000 inhabitants... it was
about 0.5% of the country's entire population, which at the time was approximately 36 million
people.
So...
How did two politicians from a place that is so far from the core of power and is so
small take control of the entire country?
This's the question that many journalists and political analysts have been asking for
a long time.
Well... now we're beginning to unravel the answer.
Basically, this husband and wife took over, co-opted and bought almost every sector of
Argentine politics through the power of their wallets:
Businessmen, trade unionists, judges, journalists, artists and civil society leaders succumbed
to the power of the state's wallet.
Billions of dollars distributed among the pockets of those who supported and were unconditional
supporters of this peculiar marriage.
A clientele network fed and greased by concessions, aid and subsidies that were conveniently distributed
and which nobody controlled.
However….
The question that we have to ask ourselves is...
How did they finance it?
How did the Kirchners maintain such an ample clientelistic group?
Listen up.
(THE GOAL OF PUBLIC WORK)
Look at what Cristina Fernández said in 2010:
( "For us, for this Administration, public work isn't a contingency, it's a conviction,
a structural political concept that we've been developing not only since 2003, but since
we gained the responsibility of directing a community's destiny".
Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.)
Well, now we know why public works were so important for this marriage...
And no, I'm sorry, but it has nothing to do with Argentina's interests.
Public work was one of the core parts of the Kirchners' political fabric, first in the
province of Santa Cruz and then throughout the country.
Now... some of you may be wondering, but, Simon, How did the system work?
Well... you'll see… deep down it was quite simple.
President Kirchner, through his Minister of Federal Planning and Public Investment, Julio
[HOO-LEE-O] de Vido [VEE-DO] – who stayed in this post for the entire period in which
the Kirchners headed the country – met periodically with the main construction companies in Argentina,
which in turn were convened by the President of the Chamber of Construction, Carlos Wagner.
Well, in these meetings it was agreed exactly which company would get each public tender...
That is, they met to decide how to distribute the 'cake' .
Then... when everything was decided the tender procedure started... but it was for mere appearances…
the company which was chosen was the one that this kind of "public works cartel" had
previously agreed on.
And now comes the key to the entire process...
Once the work was granted, the companies charged the first installment of the contract, the
advance payment they needed to supposedly begin working… however, this payment was
given entirely to
the politicians.
So wait.. where was the business if these companies had to pay back what they charged?
Well... in the extra costs.
See, it's estimated that on average each project's extra cost ranged between 30 and
40 percent of the total bill.
That way, if work was granted for 100 million, budget expansions were approved for up to
a total of approximately 140 million.
But that's not all.
Sometimes the government would also approve changes and new project expansions… until
the company that had been awarded the 100 million dollar work ended up charging a lot
more...
180, 200, 250, and even 2.8 times the initial budget, so in this example, 280 million...
And to top it all off, many of these projects were not even finished.
You heard that right.
Of course, in exchange for this bargain, companies paid bribes to politicians--depending on the
case, between 10 and 20% of the invoiced amount.
Having said that, have you ever wondered how public work functions in your country?
The case, folks, is that this whole process worked perfectly for years...
But now... it's been exposed.
(DISCOVERED)
Folks, the
little details count...
When one doesn't take care of all the details even the most complex and ingenious operations
run the risk of collapsing.
This case wasn't the exception.
See, it turns out that the driver who transported the government's "bribe collector" was
obsessed with writing down each trip, each stop, each building visited, the name of the
people he was going to see for the briefcase delivery... even the conversations he heard
during his travels.
He'd written down practically everything in 8 notebooks.
We don't know if he did it on impulse, for entertainment, if it was part of a kind of
control and accounting system or he simply wanted to cover his back... but the fact is
that these notebooks contain all the details of this mafia plot.
And finally those notebooks... came into the hands of a journalist who, upon seeing what
they contained, decided to turn them over to justice... and after months of investigation,
at the end of July 2018, high officials and businessmen linked to the plot were arrested.
But that's not all... now many of these people have decided to collaborate with the justice
department in exchange for penitentiary benefits... such as not being in prison while the process
continues.
And one of those individuals is, Carlos Wagner, the President of the Chamber of Construction,
the man who called the companies and one of the people who benefited most from this entire
mess.
His story confirmed everything the notebooks said.
And the other testimonies went in the same line.
But... right now...
I'm sure you may be wondering, OK, OK, Simon, but how much money are we talking about...
Well, folks, a lot-- and I mean a lot--of money.
See, if Carlos Wagner is telling the truth...
The Kirchners would've received almost 3 million dollars... 3 MILLION DOLLARS A DAY
during their 12 and a half years in government!!
That is, more than 12 billion dollars in total, only from public works.
Because, besides that, there are many more suspicions of corruption and pending cases.
12 billion to pay politicians, judges, journalists, social leaders... and, of course, to fill
their pockets.
Everything indicates that this is how the Kirchners came to power and consolidated that
power over Argentina.
For example, there's also José López's case, former public works secretary and someone
who was very close to Julio de Vido, the Kirchnerist minister who managed the plot.
Well, in June 2016, having been alerted that the police could raid his house as part of
an investigation… he decided to leave at 3 in the morning with 9 million dollars he
had in cash... hidden under the mattress.
Anyway, that night López tried to hide the money in a convent-- the convent of the Praying
and Penitent Nuns of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima – but didn't have the best luck.
While he was stashing the money, a neighbor, who thought that it was a robbery, called
the police.
And that's how good old Jose Lopez was caught red-handed.
Now we know where all that money probably came from.
By the way, as you can imagine, this money couldn't simply be transferred to a bank...
No, it had to be paid in cash so it wouldn't leave a trace... so it was moved in bags.
Well, since they made so many payments… the people in charge of filling the bags already
knew how many money wads fit into each bag...
So it seems that the money was no longer counted in millions, but by the number of bags.
By the way, don't forget that companies also made money by overpricing... so the damage
to the Argentine people has been even greater...
Anyway, folks, this is the gruesome story of how some politicians decided to plunder
their own country.
If the facts are confirmed, even the Underwoods would be scandalized by Argentina's situation.
Will Cristina Fernández end up in jail?
Only time will tell.

The Most Ironic Photos Of All Time ! - Duration: 10:14.
This company is selling a shirt that says there are more than two genders
So how ironic is it that they're only selling it to two genders?
Male/female that is one and two instant fail
They clearly did not think this one through the irony in this video is too strong, Melissa
Williamson worries about the effects on her unborn child from the sound of jackhammers
Sorry to break it to Melissa, but it's not the jackhammers harming your child is the cigarettes you are smoking
You're just literally standing there in the picture
Smoking and then complaining that the loud noises might be harming your child
I think and this is what I think I think that Melissa can't sleep at night
And she doesn't really care about how it's affecting her child because she's sitting there and literally smoking in the picture
Where is the logic in this? Alright, there aren't any because it's ironic
There's an ad to fight against child obesity and to not take it lightly and right under that
McDonald's put up their own ad and they're like my kind of shopping spree. You got two bags one full of
Deliciousness and other one full of anxiousness. This is awfully ironic
I don't know if McDonald's did this on purpose
or if the child obesity at
Just didn't think this through but either way it's not working people who are trying to fight obesity, too
Now you're tempting them with McDonald's and people who want a McDonald's now they're feeling guilty about their options
No one wins in this situation fasteners, you know what I think store
I think you need to fasten your fastener sign with your fasteners that you're trying to sell before people will buy
Fasteners that they see on your fastener sign that's not fastened. How many times can you say fastened in one sentence anti chewing spray?
That's literally being chewed on by the dog if this is an irony, I don't know. What is maybe though
Maybe the dog chews enough
He will chew through to the liquid and then once he reaches the liquid he will stop chewing and this is the owners master plan
I have it all figured out genius safety begins with you. Good old hard-hitting safety. Let's begin with you
Mr. In my blue Honda this is ironic because they're promoting safety. Meanwhile, they're hitting somebody with their bus
I think they need to rethink the safety thing stops struggling with those stubborn plastic packages
Why would you sell a device to open up one of these?
stupid plastic
Packages and I'm saying stupid because they are stupid because they're so hard to open
Like are they really that afraid? They were gonna steal scissors like are people really going into stores and stealing scissors
Is there that much of a crime spree for scissors that they need to package them into this impossible to open package?
anyways
I'm going to not tangent now because I really don't like this packaging put your hands up if you agree with me
I see a lot of hands up
Yeah, I can see you. That's creepy. I can't actually see it. But I
Imagined it. But then why would they put a package opener into the package is supposed to open?
It's way too ironic that I don't even find it funny. I'm just upset healthy hands start here
I'm scared. It's so gross. I really hope it's automatic
Otherwise it completely defeats the purpose of healthy hands ain't nobody hands healthy. They touch all that dirt and grime
It's a cliffhanger get it cuz it's a Clif Bar that's hanging. That's me. Trying to be funny
I hope at least one person left. You know what there's a high chance that at least one person left
It's all a square knot everybody
Today, you're two warning choking hazard small parts, not for children under three years Wow
So this is a gift for a two-year-old and they gotta wait a year until they can open it worst birthday present ever
I do not have that type of patience. I can't even wait five minutes or something a year
You expect a two-year-old to have a year's worth of patience. They're children
They're not magicians
parking officers are those people that put tickets on your cars when you park in the wrong space quite annoying because
Sometimes there's nowhere to park. So you've got a park in the wrong space. You just gotta find a place
You know, I'm just gonna run in and buy something you come out. You got a parking ticket
But today the parking officer got a taste of his own medicine because he also couldn't find a parking spot
He also had to park somewhere else and now he's getting towed for parking in a no-parking zone. Just
Noah's Ark theme park destroyed in a flood Noah's Ark was supposed to survive the flood
Why are you not destroyed Oh Savannah
It's so slippery up in this place that the wet floor sign even slipped if the wet floor sign ain't surviving the slip
Ain't nobody surviving the slip don't walk on those wet floors
I mean they look kind of dry not gonna lie
Like look at those floors those floors look dry as the desert like I don't see any wetness on them week AF
Floor sign he had one job to be a sign and he ain't doing it right even on a dry floor follow us the quality
Parking what type of quality parking is that and that is coming from a very?
Unqualified Evan I can park better than that and that is saying a lot
The worst kind of advertising is when you can't do what you're advertising. I don't want to buy your service
I don't want this man or woman teaching me how to park
I'll keep my parking just the way it is lame clothes to ease congestion. Who did this?
Where's the logic?
Oh, yeah
Let's have everybody going into one lane when there's another perfectly fine open lane that people could also go into
Easing congestion. They opened up a Weight Watchers right next to Domino's. Yeah, it's like you go exercising and then you're tempted by the
Delicious smell of pizza all the time after you exercise. This is just torture
This is just mean know what honestly guys I gotta put up with this type of stuff
So on the way to the gym there is this bakery and it smells so good
and I have to smell that every day going into the gym and
Leaving the gym and then it usually smells like croissants but sometimes it smells like I'm not really sure what the smell is
It's like like a gingerbread smell maybe
Oh, it's so good
but I got really lucky because it's not like a baker you can buy things that I think it's like a
Factory bakery where they make it and they ship it somewhere else
So I just have to deal with it, but I can't actually go and buy all the deliciousness
They built a zoo for your lion
Look at all those caged humans. I guess this is what it feels like to be a caged animal at the zoo
The Lions are like how do we get to them? They look
delicious
Learn to fly here. Well, they are learning to fly. So you can't really blame them
I mean if I was learning to fly this might happen, that's why I'm not learning how to fly the plane looks like in pretty
Surprisingly good condition. Like they probably didn't get far off the runway
they just probably got off this high and then when it straight into the tree and
it was all good upon arriving to help me get my keys out of my car the
AAA guy locked his own keys in his car
I had to call another AAA got to get his keys out of the car
I mean this just proves the people a people like he's a human too
The people who get your keys out of your locked cars also lock their keys into locked cars for safety reasons
Please keep these lights on lights off, please
make up your mind like
What do I do in this situation this I don't know how to deal with the SEPA. This is your making
Okay, I need decisions made for me this ad for Ford Focus is ironically out of focus but in DuPage
Always open but then they have a closed sign you are not always open if you were closed
Sometimes that defeats the purpose of always open don't lie to us. Don't play with our hearts like that. We got feelings
Yes
People can sometimes be closed because people get sick but like don't play with my feelings like that
Unpaid internship as personal assistant fight against slavery is a charity based in London
We are working to fight the issues of human rights
Oh are you you're fighting against issues of human rights, but then you're asking somebody to work for you for free
Isn't that against human rights?
Just say I feel like if you work you deserve to be paid like I get it

Experience and you might want to work to get experienced but this is just super ironic
protesters banned a Jeff Sessions lecture on free speech
That ironic this dog has torn apart a book saying dog training for dummies
maybe the book wasn't working because
You clearly not trained your dog. They just smashed their stress relief bottle. Wow, that is stressful. That is
Exactly what it was supposed to help me with and now my stress is so much bigger now
What why would they put it in a glass bottle? They should have swear seen this quote from man stabbed

Advanced parking solutions not very advanced if you ask me can't even park between the lines
We need some new instructors up in this collision
Investigation. I hope they didn't crash on the way to
investigating another collision that for sure got someone fired
I kind of just crash into a brake fence Water Street is literally a Water Street. That is quite ironic
And also, I'm terrified by this picture I took it chills down my spine. That's a lot of water

Why I Wear Hearing aids [CC] - Duration: 6:06.
CHRISSY: Hi everyone! Welcome back to my channel!
Or I guess if you are new just welcome! Welcome to my channel!
I'm Chrissy, this is my sign name.
Today what we are going to discuss is the reasons why I wear hearing aids.
Hearing aid chimes*
Whistles*
CHRISSY: So I don't use hearing aids every day.
Some days I just don't feel like putting them on.
It's doesn't matter, I'll explain that later.
But I want to start with the 3 top reasons why I always prefer,
not really prefer,
just why I enjoy and am content with having hearing aids on.
So there are there are the three top reasons.
The first reason why I wear them is that I am comfortable with hearing aids on.
So, I grew up hard of hearing and because of progressive hearing loss I slowly became deaf.
So, I'm used to have hearing aids on.
I've always had hearing aids since I was 2 years old, so they are comfortable.
I feel like I'm content with the full feeling in my ears.
Honestly sometimes without hearing aids in my ears feel empty.
It's weird.
Really weird.
I don't know how to explain this.
I like the full feeling of hearing aids.
Anyway- So comfort.
I'm honestly comfortable with having hearing aids on.
The second reason why is---
fun!
I will explain more.
See I have the bling on them?!
Yeh, you can see.
They are purple and bedazzled.
So, they are fun, I like to express myself with my hearing aids so they are fun, I enjoy them.
I also have fun bedazzled hearing aids to show other people, so they can see I'm deaf.
And I can voice and speak so if I'm communicating orally,
chatting and lip-reading,
sometimes people forget or think I'm lying about being Deaf so,
hearing aids kind of act like proof.
Like hey see?!
Not lying, I'm really deaf.
That's in the hearing world.
But honestly in the deaf world sometimes people assume I'm hard of hearing
if they see I have hearing aids.
No, I'm Deaf.
It's pretty simple.
So, onto the third reason,
well the first two were the main reasons.
The third reason is not really, not that essential for me.
The third reason is that hearing aids help me pick up some sounds, very faintly for me.
Like emergency sounds if they are close or approaching sometimes I can hear them
or if a car honks and they are very close I can hear it.
It needs to be really loud if I will hear it.
So, growing up hearing aids helped me with understanding speech, when I was younger I could.
I could hear vocal fluctuations and with lip-reading helped me hear.
Now I'm deaf so honestly hearing aids don't really help me anymore.
But there are still some things I can pick up.
But really the top reason I use hearing aids are for comfort and bedazzling.
So those three things are my reasons why I use hearing aids.
Guess if you want please comment down below! Share your personal decision and reasons why you use hearing aids!
I'm curious.
Anyone else have hearing aids for show or comfort?
Something like that.
Let me know, share and comment below!!
Thanks for watching!
Bye!

Mr. Maezawa, Can I be that Musician on SpaceX BFR? | Dearmoon - Duration: 4:57.
Hello Mr. Maezawa, my name is Tolgahan. I'm a guitarist from Turkey.
Firstly, I'd like to thank you for a brilliant idea to take artists to the moon.
I choose to go to the moon, I choose to go to the moon with artists.
I totally agree that art has the power to promote world peace and thank you for
reminding humanity about the importance of art and artists for planet Earth.
On Dearmoon's video, I see that there's an empty seat for a guitarist on board and
I volunteer for that seat not with a regular guitar though,
but with my own guitar design 'adjustable microtonal guitar.'
On our planet, we mostly agreed on playing music with twelve semitones
which are the piano keys and guitar frets.
And the classics like 'Fly me to the moon' or 'Moonlight Sonata' are all composed
with these twelve semitones.
However, once we're out of our planet, on our way to the moon
I think we have to follow the musical rules of the universe and nature.
Unfortunately, twelve semitones that humans created are unnatural and
they will be out of tune in resonance with the universe.
I'll get back to this in a minute
but let me first explain why I'm asking you to choose me
among thousands of amazing musicians.
Thanks to the portable nature of my instrument,
I can take my microtonal guitar onboard, adjust my frets according to the musical
ratios of the universe and during that special week, transmit what I feel
immediately to my guitar, express my feelings through that,
if possible, create something together with other artists and you onboard,
also record any sound in the craft, if possible, record any sound outside,
who knows there may be some reaction to our first trip from something in the universe
and that's what it is, that's the special period with lots of inspiration and without any
distraction from the planet Earth. After the journey, the musical creation
will be based on this seven-day-long material created on board.
Now, let's get back to the musical rules of the universe. In universe, all pitched sounds
consist of several resonating tones and this means, the universe already gave us
natural musical notes since the beginning of time.
For example, when you vibrate any string, the sound that's produced is made of these natural harmonics:
But there is a problem. These natural tones hidden in every vibrating sound
cannot be played on the piano or guitar, which are based on semitones.
Natural tones are microtones which are less than a semitone.
That's why, ten years ago during my PhD at Istanbul Technical University
in order to achieve these natural tones and play the musical system which is called just intonation,
I designed my movable-fretted adjustable microtonal guitar.
This series of harmonics gives us many ratios.
Now, let's listen to the second and third harmonics again:
These ratios such as 3/2, 4/3, 5/4 are already the founding pillars of the universe.
For example, Pluto completes two orbits
in the time it takes Neptune to complete three, creating an orbital resonance.
So the 3/2 ratio also exists there.
Since the time of Pythagoras, 2500 years ago,
music of the spheres or planets has been widely discussed among the philosophers.
Roman philosopher Boethius in early 6th century divided the music into three categories:
Musica Universalis, which is the music of planets,
music of the human body and lastly instrumental music.
In summary, I believe that the space has its own music based on the ratios of harmonic series
and it would be great if we can create music by using these ratios.
Lastly, I can say that this SpaceX project is the prism, you are the white light
passing through to form the bright colors of art. Hope to see you in 2023.

Driving from FLORIDA to TEXAS via Pensacola, Perdido Key, Gulf Shores, and Mobile - Duration: 11:34.
Good morning, everyone! We are in Tallahassee, Florida
on our way to Austin, Texas
We are returning from our road trip through southern USA
But the story actually started a few days ago
We left Miami and stopped again in Orlando
From Orlando we came to Tallahassee
And we chose to do all the drive without paying tolls
We don't have the SunPass tag
So we had to choose some alternative routes
And the roads were really good actually
only ended up increasing the driving time
in about 30 to 40 minutes, right?
He says so
For most of the time we drove in the main freeways
Only in the Orlando metro area we needed to find different options, which is not difficult
You just put 'avoid tolls' on Google Maps
It does the job for you
We slept in Tallahassee and today we'll drive all the way to Austin. It's about 12 to 13 hours, depending on traffic
We're back on the Interstate 10 - the I-10 - and this is such a beautiful road to drive, look at all this green!
And we just gained an hour! Back on the Central time zone
This time I wanna see what we missed in northern Florida and Alabama
as when we came here, we drove all this at night
First stop, Pensacola
Pensacola reminds me of a TV show
There was a series called Pensacola - Wings of Gold
Do you guys remember that?
I never really watched but I remember it had to do with the military and in fact,
Pensacola is a very important military base here in the U.S.
In Pensacola they have the Naval Air Station, the first in the United States
To arrive in Pensacola, we chose the Scenic Highway. You go seeing the ocean
Wow, look at this view!
Because of the strong military presence here in Pensacola, drones are extremely forbidden everywhere
Rumor has it that they even have technology blocking drones from flying. In certain areas, at least
The beaches are located that way on islands here
It's easy to arrive, there are roads connecting, but for us it would add an extra hour, if not more, to the drive
To go and return... So we'll end up skipping this time
But I hear that they're beautiful! White sand beaches and the ocean with Caribbean like colors
We're excited about returning here
One day we''ll be back
So for now, let's enjoy a tour of downtown
Wow, Pensacola was founded in 1559
[Gordon ]So, it looks like yeah, we can get to the beach, this isn't... uh... It doesn't look like there's any...
[Renata] Toll? [Gordon] Toll, yeah
[Renata] Cool!
[Gordon] So we might as well go, right?
[Renata] Yep!
Might as well check it out, check, check, check, check,...
This is Perdido Key, between Pensacola and Orange Beach
Let's go see the beach
I could certainly spend the day here
The beach is absolutely beautiful, but of public space, only this little part here, at least here where I am
This side belongs to a resort
and this other side belongs to another
They're suffering from an invasion of lionfish
Wow, it looks like it's destroying the ecosystem here
The everyday training in the area
And now we continue along the coast
I bet there are more public beaches along this coast
Wow, they are so white, look at these dunes!
Miles and miles and miles of white sand dunes
So beautiful!
"Sweet Home Alabama!"
We're about to enter the Gulf State Park in the city of Gulf Shores
You can come here to launch your boat or to fish and there's no one here actually to collect the fee
They just trust you're going to pay, look at that. Three dollars for boat
Two dollars for fishing, and there's the box
Gas prices are already way cheaper in Alabama
We stopped here in between Battles Wharf and Fairhope, Alabama
Nice waterfront. You can see the bay and it's a butterfly sanctuary. Look at all these species here
From here we can already see Mobile across the bay, right there
It's the most important city in southern Alabama
First of all and very important: it's "Mo-bile" not "Mobil" not "Mob-ile"
Look at me! A Brazilian talking about English pronunciation
But actually the word is in French. Mobile was the first capital of Louisiana
You heard me right. Louisiana, not Alabama
At that time, Louisiana was huge. It used to occupy one third of the area of today's United States
Mobile had the first Mardi Gras ever in the United States, in 1699
In New Orleans it was just like thirty years later. This I learned at the Mardi Gras Museum in Lake Charles
But listen to this. At that time, as I explained, Mobile used to belong to Louisiana
So Louisiana is proud to have had the first Mardi Gras ever as a state
But when you come to the city level, it was Mobile, Alabama
There are no main cities along the road here in Mississippi, so we're just going straight through the state
Here we are again at Atchafalaya National Reserve
From here on, I already showed in multiple videos
It took us 18 hours to arrive
That's because we stopped a lot in Florida and Alabama and also because we got some traffic in Louisiana
Oh well, here we are! Austin, Texas
And if I can give you one more tip
in addition to things to do along the way, it would be to fill in when you get to Texas
Gas prices are so much cheaper here, up to a dollar less compared to downtown Miami and Miami Beach, really
If you have any question, leave me in the comments

Juanita Broaddrick Shows Up At Kav Hearing To 'Look Hypocrite Democrats In The Eye' - Duration: 4:31.
She disclosed exactly why she felt this way: "Because Dr. Ford has no evidence, I had
the who, what, when, where and how and had five people that I told, not even counting
the woman who found me 30 minutes after the rape with a swollen busted lip, torn clothes
and in a state of shock," she said.
Broaddrick's claims that Bill Clinton raped her back in 1978 while she was living in Arkansas
and working at a nursing home as an administrator.
Bill Clinton at the time was the state attorney general.
Her story claims she was attacked and left by Clinton with a bloody lip and one direction
which was to "put some ice on that."
Clinton did what Clintons do.
He denied the accusation.
All of it.
"On Thursday, she attacked Democrats, such as Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Dianne
Feinstein, D-Calif., who she said did not believe her in the '90s but have jumped
to believe Ford's account, despite the corroborating evidence Broaddrick said she had in her case."
"How they can take these accusations and run with them, and laugh at mine for so many
years is the biggest double standard I have ever seen," she said.
"It makes me angry that they left [Clinton] in office," she said about the Senate Democrats
who she said refused to consider her allegations."
"Broaddrick indicated she was skeptical about Ford's accusations"
"It's not that I have decided, she has not anything truly evidentiary to this point,
how can she all of a sudden have something new to say today?
She's presented nothing," she said."
"How they can take these accusations and run with them, and laugh at mine for so many
years is the biggest double standard I have ever seen," Broaddrick said.
"It makes me angry that they left [Clinton] in office," Broaddrick said about Senate
Democrats who rejected to hear her allegations" "I have twenty times more evidence for my
rape by Bill Clinton than Dr. Ford has against Kavanaugh.
Democrats turned their backs on me.
They refused to read or acknowledge me in 1999 when I went public with my story.
Democrats turned their backs on me."
"Broaddrick told the Daily Caller in an interview that she showed up at the Senate
to "look hypocrites Schumer, Durbin and Feinstein in the eye and ask for an apology."
"Broaddrick calls the hearing today a "double standard."
"I have twenty times more evidence for my rape by Bill Clinton than Dr. Ford has against
Kavanaugh," Broaddrick says, "Democrats turned their backs on me.
They refused to read my testimony or acknowledge me in 1999 when I went public with my story.
Democrats turned their backs on me."
"Broaddrick said that the mantra the 'All women deserve to be believed" does not apply
to her."
"All women are to be believed if they are not conservatives and as long as the assault
was not done by Democrats."
Broaddrick brought up the domestic abuse allegations against DNC Co-Chair Keith Ellison: "Ellison
is leading the Democratic party right now.
He should be kicked out of office.
Karen Monahan has 10 times the evidence that Dr. Ford does.
Where is her hearing?"
Juanita Broaddrick is outside of Dirksen Senate building.
Broaddrick says she does not believe Dr Ford, and Democrats supporting her now are "hypocrites"
because they did not support her.
I asked her if Dr. Ford is asking for what Broaddrick asked for years ago, and feels
she did not get, the chance to be heard - to be believed...
She said (firmly) no.
She said her situation was different because she "had evidence."
Broaddrick says Ford does not.
Broaddrick is firm in her mission to call out Democrats for jumping the second they
heard Ford's allegations.
They did not hesitate to stop and question anything and chose instead to believe her
on her word, without proof or evidence of any kind.
Broaddrick is calling them all out as "hypocrites" and has no plans in slowing down her effort
to show the world that today's Senate hearing was a "circus" and furthermore that Feinstein
'owes' her an apology.
Stating that "she refused to read my hard evidence against Clinton in 1999.
Do I deserve to be believed?"
According to Broaddrick's retelling of the encounter:
"Arriving later in the lobby, he called and asked if they could have coffee in her
room instead because there were too many reporters in the lobby, Broaddrick said.
"Stupid me, I ordered coffee to the room," she said.
"I thought we were going to talk about the campaign."

COMO SABER si un AGAPORNIS es MACHO o HEMBRA 🐤 TRUCOS INSEPARABLE MACHO o HEMBRA - Duration: 10:46.
Agapornis male or female | Inseparable male or female | Lovebird male or female
Hello colleagues and peers, Welcome once again to a new video.
This time we are going to open on the channel a new section dedicated to lovebirds
or inseparable. Specifically, as you have could read in the title of the video I'm going
to explain how to know if a lovebug is male or female and therefore throughout this
I will give you some tips and tricks so you can know if your agapornis
Is it male or female. And without more ... we started.
In the world we can find many races of different lovebirds, but the types of
most common lovebirds that we usually have as pets are the agapornis Fischer, the agapornis
personta or agapornis roseicollis so that in this video we are going to focus only
in these three types of agapornis or inseparable. At first glance it is difficult to appreciate sex
of the agapornis since they do not present disformism sex between males and females, although there
some types of lovebirds like for example taranta lovebird or agapornis canus or
Madagascar which are species in which usually see at first sight differences between
a male and a female. But in the case of agapornis fischer, personatas or roseicollis
it is not usually appreciated so easily there are some tricks that I am going to comment now
that can help us know if our Lovebirds are males or females.
If we look at our lovebirds we can sexarlo through his behavior, already
that there are certain behaviors that they are more typical of males than of females,
although there are always exceptions that can lead to confusion so we can not
100% based on this method and ideally would put all the methods together
that I will explain throughout the video to be sure if our lovebirds
Is it male or female. In the case of males, these usually:
Rubbing and scratching very often with feeders, innkeepers, with the toys that we place them
or even without are papilleros and are accustomed to us, he may rub with us,
trying to masturbate what will indicate us clearly he is male and he has a lot
zeal. Also, males usually have less fear
than females, and tend to be more affectionate and nice. Hence, when we want
have a papillero agapornis is recommended that is a male since they are more docile
than the females. Also, during the agapornis breeding the
males do not usually incubate eggs although like everything there are always exceptions, but
usually the female is the only one that remains in the nest incubating the eggs and the male
stays out of the nest, and usually poses at the entrance of the nest or at a nearby innkeeper,
and in addition, he is continuously looking for food to later feed the female.
So the males are the ones who usually regurgitate food to the female, and therefore in this case,
the male would be the one on top and the female of the lower part.
Finally, males in heat are usually restless and emit small beeps
at the same time that they adopt an upright position to capture the attention of the female.
In the case of females, these usually: Be more territorial and aggressive than
males So when we try to caress them, we clean the cage or check the nest
in the breeding season, females by nature they will always get angry more, they will feel
bothered and will try to bite us. Also, if we bring a new lovebug for
know each other, females usually have a reject behavior and they show
more aggressive with the new agapornis, and in Most of the cases will try to hit him
to defend its territory, while the males are usually more distant and curious
and they do not usually bother seeing a new lovebirds. Also, the female during breeding, almost
she is always in charge of building and making the nest to your liking, so if we see that
Take the material that we place for you make the nest, mold it and take it away
to the nest we may be facing a female, since males rarely help to do the
nest. If during the agapornis breeding, we observe them
carefully and without disturbing them we can watch as the female crouches with her wings
between open and adopts the copulation posture or as it is usually called also, the position
of avioncito. This behavior is proper of the females in heat and usually emit
little sounds calling the male so that go to inseminate her. However, and I
I comment from experience the females in heat they also tend to climb on top of each other
imitating mating and can take us to the error. Also, if we give you leaves of palm trees
or some folio, the females usually make small strips of paper and put them under the
wings After mating the female will begin
to lay eggs until the laying is completed, usually usually put an egg every day
and will put a total of 5 to 6 eggs. Is very important that we check the nests daily
to check that you have put an egg and avoid or be aware that our lovebirds
do not have any egg traversed. If for some reason two eggs appeared a day
in the nest it is clear that we would be two females
Also, the females during the breeding of lovebirds, they usually spend a lot of time in
inside the nest by incubating the eggs or giving them heat to the young, they usually leave
to eat, drink and relieve themselves. Finally, in general, females usually
feeding the young more frequently than the male The male will eat and subsequently
will go to the female to regurgitate her food and it will take care of giving it to the new
offspring However, this does not mean that the male will never feed them
directly to the offspring, since there are males very good that also feed very often
to their chicks In some species like for example the personatas
or Fischer if you look at the eye ring, that is the small white ring that surrounds
The eye can make us a little idea of whether the lovebirds is male or female. The
males usually have this white hoop something else small and narrow, while the females
They tend to have them wider. Although this method It is not 100% reliable and will depend a lot
of the genetics of agapornis. In addition, the females usually have a size
somewhat larger than the males, but to give us account of this it would be necessary to compare
two agapornis in the same position and to be able be that they are of the same clutch, since as
the difference in size is not very pronounced it may lead us to error if we compare
two agapornis from different aviaries with one different genetics or different age already
that obviously an adult agapornis goes to have a size larger than a young agapornis
that has not yet been fully developed. And besides, we have to take into account the
position that they adopt in the innkeeper, since as I mentioned earlier, the males
tend to take a more upright posture and this can lead us to error and think that
the male is bigger. Also, most females usually
have a more rounded head and beak something wider and bigger, however if we
we fix in the head of the males does not usually be so rounded and it shows a small
difference between the forehead and the head, and besides, the beak is somewhat smaller.
Another method, although somewhat complex, is to observe the area of the cloaca. If we look at the area
of the agapornis cloaca can help us to determine your sex, since usually
the females usually have something more bulky the area of his abdomen and the cloaca.
Linked to the previous point, and above all the breeders of agapornis with more experience can know
if a lovebirds is male or female through of his cloaca. To do this, take the agapornis
very carefully and with the index finger or the little finger is palpated with great care
the area near the sewer to try see the shape of the pelvic bones.
In the case of females, the pelvic bones They are more rounded and are more separated
by nature so they can lay eggs without difficulty, so if after feeling
the pelvic bones we notice that the bones they are separated or open and there is space
enough so you can pass an egg probably we are before a female, but on the contrary,
the space between the bones is very small, that is, they are close together or stuck together and
we noticed that they are somewhat pointy maybe we are before a male.
This method is especially indicated for adult agapornis that have already developed
completely, because in young agapornis can induce us to error and even if the
agaponis has previously put some egg it will be easier to notice the difference
because it will have widened the pelvic bones, although as I say this technique requires
practice and experience. Finally and to finish the video, I want
tell you that in case you are not able to sexar your agapornis by the methods
that I have been explaining to you throughout the video you can also do it through an analysis
of DNA and with a reliability of almost 100%. In the case that you opt for this method,
You can do it in two ways: Well through a blood sample in
which will be enough with a few drops or through the pen that will be
much more comfortable. In this case, you should extract with a disinfected tweezer and with much
careful not to harm you and not to contaminate the sample, some feathers of your agapornis
mainly from the area of the sewer and go placing correctly on the document
that the laboratory facilitates so that they can analyze it without problem. And after a few
days and after receiving and analyzing the samples, the laboratory will indicate us almost with total
security if our lovebirds or inseparable Is it male or female.
I hope you liked the video and I have served, if so, remember to share
for your social networks and whatsapp groups to help each other, if not yet
you have done it, I take this opportunity to invite you to subscribe to the channel and activate
the notification bell for you to receive a new video every week. And before finalizing
I take this opportunity to send a greeting to the compañera Julia and her agapornis and from here thank you
the collaboration provided since without your help this video would not have been possible. And how
always ... I wait for you in the next video.

2x2 flush and seamless piston door || Minecraft Bedrock - Duration: 6:41.
Hey guys I'm the redstoner and finally I'm back with another redstone tutorial and in this one I'm gonna show you how to make this
Compact 2x2 flush and seamless piston door. This is not the smallest design
But what makes it the best is that it works all times no matter how many times you close it and open it
it works
every single time so let's crack on for this fabulastic build you're gonna need
10 sticky pistons 4 regular pistons 4 observers 4 redstone repeaters
2 blocks of redstone
Just bring half a stack of redstone dust
2 redstone lamps 2 redstone torches
4 blocks for your door 2 unmovable objects just bring half a stack of building blocks
two glass blocks or your half slabs and one lever and
You're gonna start off with a 3 by 8 area
so
Let's start building. So first of all you wanna lay out your pistons for that
Go ahead and skip 1 2 3 blocks and on the 4th and 5th block place two sticky pistons facing up like that
Then go ahead and come to the side
Skip 1 2 blocks and on the third block place a regular piston facing up just like that
Same on the other hand side a regular piston facing upwards over there like that then right next to that regular piston
Place three blocks up like that with a sticky piston facing this way
Remove those three blocks
place two blocks up like that a
Regular piston facing downwards and a sticky piston facing this way on its face
Then go ahead and place a block over there
With a sticky piston facing downwards on the side of that same on the other hand side
Come over here place three blocks up like that. Sticky piston over here
two blocks up
regular piston facing downwards
With a sticky piston facing this way like that and break those
All of those blocks and place a block over here
With a sticky piston facing downwards like that
then go ahead and come to the side of this sticky piston
The back of this sticky piston and place a sticky piston facing downwards like that same on the other hand side
A sticky piston facing downwards like that. Then grab your door blocks place two over there and two
over there and I would suggest you completing your
2x2 tunnel for that place six blocks up like that and six on the bottom side
Six on each side like that
Buh-bum and done the same goes on this side like that
And
That is your 2x2 tunnel completed then go ahead and place a block up like that and
a
Level on its face like that
Now let's get into the actual Redstone for that
Place a piece of obsidian over there and a piece of obsidian over there then go ahead and come to the back side
Place some redstone dust over there someone right there and some over there
then go ahead and place a
Glass block over here or your half slab with a block up like that and a redstone repeater set to three ticks going into that block
Then go ahead and place a torch on the side of that block a redstone lamp over there
With some redstone dust on top then place observer facing this way
Going into this sticky piston like that same on the other hand side a glass block block up like that
Redstone torch lamp redstone dust
Observer facing this way and
Repeater set to three ticks going into that
You know block
Then go ahead and place a block over here and some redstone dust like that
Same on the other hand side a block over here and redstone dust down like that
then go ahead and place a
block of redstone on the face of this sticky piston and
place
Like create a L shape over here
*redstone dust* (3 times) a
Repeater set to two ticks going into that sticky piston with a observer facing this way like that
Then do the same on the other hand side a block of redstone on the face of this sticky piston
Create a L shape
Redstone dust on all of these blocks a repeater set to two ticks going into that sticky piston
With a observer facing this way
like that
Then go ahead and flick that lever and you should see that it works properly
There is your of closing and there is your opening so guys today. I've made a plan
that I have to make a
Uploading schedule
for my uploading so
the schedule is that on every Monday and Thursdays a
redstone tutorial will come out and on every Saturday and Sunday on
Every Saturday a survival series will come out and on every Saturday. I might do a random video
I could do a
Mod review or a map showcase maybe
but guys

Alt-Right Lies About Jews & Communism - Duration: 1:14:15.
DUKE: …the incredible Jewish influence in Communism in Russia…
Now it's not anti-Semitic to say that the Jews were behind Communism as a group, not
all Jews but…
PROBLEM GENE: In the Alt-Right, anti-Communist rhetoric is typically used for one, inciting
anti-Semitism, which is done by trying to associate Jewish people with the deaths that
Communism has caused, and also for making a rather subtle defense of Nazism, by exaggerating
the Communist atrocities while downplaying and sometimes covering up the Nazi atrocities,
so that one doesn't look so bad in comparison to the other.
Today we'll be addressing the former – if you couldn't guess, and just to be clear,
I'm not a Communist – I'm against Communism in all its forms and my content will be, NOT
defense of Communism, but instead refutation of anti-Semitic, pro-fascist talking points.
Let's take a look at another clip of David Duke, now speaking about his book "The Secret
behind Communism".
What could that "secret" behind Communism be?
Places your bets!
DUKE: My latest book is "The Secret behind Communism", you can get that…
The "Russian Revolution" is not the Russian revolution.
It wasn't done by Russians!
It was financed, it was led – ENTIRELY led by Jews in the beginning; even Lenin was part
Jewish, Trotsky was the first head of the Red Army who was Bronstein, Zinoviev, Kamenev…
PROBLEM GENE: Does David Duke hold a fringe view?
SPENCER: …because we aren't living in, say, Russia of the time of the Bolshevik revolution.
That's often falsely called the "Russian Revolution", there was very little "Russian"
about that revolution, but put that aside…
PROBLEM GENE: Well that sounds awfully familiar...
How about Andrew Anglin, the founder of the Daily Stormer?
ANGLIN: …it is run based on Jewish ideologies, okay?
SARGON: … I don't agree that these ideologies are innately Jewish.
ANGLIN: Is Marxism…?
What race was Karl Marx?
What race was Trotsky?
What race was Lenin?
ANGLIN: …it does not mean that he's not promoting – that he did not invent an ideology
that was used by Jews to slaughter white people, okay?
White Christians in Russia, in Ukraine, were slaughtered by Communism being run by Jewish
people who were enacting a program that was invented by a Jew…
PROBLEM GENE: Even Red-Ice TV, the more mainstream branch of the Alt-Right gets behind this…
MACRAE: …of course that brings me to the whole concept of the right of the return the
Jews claim they have to Israel, and they can go there no matter where they are, from any
part of the world and it's paid for.
And yet, look at this story in the Bolshevik revolution which was largely their doing,
so…
It was their revolution – or their coup, their takeover…
LOKTEFF: Oh yeah!
And wasn't the Tsar kind, and he let the Jews come seek shelter…
PROBLEM GENE: I've got one more...
ENOCH: …when you understand the roots of Communism – it's intellectual roots, it's
ethnic roots, where it comes from, and you don't talk about that and you make it as if
these anti-Semitism outbursts in Europe in the middle of the 20th century; just totally
inexplicable!
They should at least put these facts before you; the reason people were anti-Semitic was
[because] they thought – with justification, that the USSR was a Jewish regime that was
going to kill Christians.
And this was not an unjustified thing to…
PROBLEM GENE: There's also this guy – "RockingMr.E", who calls the "elites" of the Bolshevik
party that took over Russia 'Ashkenazi' and not 'Jewish'.
MR.E: It's a historical fact that the majority of the Bolshevik party elites were Ashkenazi.
PROBLEM GENE: He references the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Robert Wilton and Winston
Churchill who talk about specifically Jews and not Ashkenazi, yet in his own mind he
considers that to be the same thing as Ashkenazi.
MR.E: …Robert Wilton published the ethnicity of all members of the Soviet Government…
Not only were the vast majority Ashkenazi…
PROBLEM GENE: So he targets the same group that everyone else calls Jews, while calling
them something different to escape the definition of anti-Semitism – clever!
And Robert Wilton's list is a lie; he invented members for Bolshevik Central Committee and
left out many actual members.
MR.E: …on one hand there's the Nazi revisionist interpretation that barely acknowledges the
murder of around a quarter of a million Jews, and on the other hand there's a six million
figure that seems incredibly inflated, and very difficult to prove…
SARGON: So there's a YouTuber called RockingMr.E…
I just want to begin this by saying that I'm not attacking the man; I respect his intelligence,
I respect his understanding of what he's talking about…
PROBLEM GENE: I hope you never truly did Sargon, but let's not waste anymore time of Wilton's
list – despite its other mistakes.
We shall be going through this topic in three phases; first is the Russian Revolution, and
to what possible extent it wasn't "Russian".
The second phase is the mass murder in the USSR, because when most people think about
the USSR they instantly think about the bad stuff that happened, which is understandable,
but it means that any kind of a talk about Jewish participation in the regime will almost
inevitably draw a connection in people's minds with Jews and mass murder.
This is pretty much what one of the Alt-Right's intellectual heroes – Kevin MacDonald, tried
to take an advantage of in the paperback edition of his book "The Culture of Critique",
so we'd better take a look at the roles individual Jews actually played in any mass
murder.
And in the third phase we will be talking about minority over-representation – particularly
in the Soviet secret police organs, and what kind of conclusions can we make based on that.
I will be looking at David Duke's book throughout this video, but I won't be refuting every
single argument in that, I'll only take on the serious allegations.
I'm going be showing screen-caps from various books, and the numbers that will appear on
the screen alongside with them coincide with links in the description so that you can fact-check
my claims and rebuttals – all of my sources will also be shown at the end of the video.
Pausing the video in order to read the screen-caps is likely required.
SPENCER: …that's often falsely called the "Russian Revolution", there was very
little "Russian" about that revolution, but put that aside…
PROBLEM GENE: Now let's talk about the Russian Revolution…
The Russian Revolution is the name used for a whole sequence of events in 1917 that would
end up with the Bolsheviks in power.
I will talk about the two main aspects of it, for the sake of simplicity.
From the beginning of 1917, when the First World War was still raging, most Russians
wanted to get rid of the Tsar for dragging their country into that unnecessary conflict.
This led to the February Revolution, when the Tsar was forced to abdicate when hundreds
of thousands of people went on strikes as protest.
The internal power struggles within the leadership also contributed to the abdication of the
Tsar – Jews virtually played no part in this first half of the Revolution.
About 8 months later the Bolsheviks would seize power in what would be called the October
Revolution.
The REAL Central Committee in the Bolshevik party at this time was made up of 21 members
of whom 6 were Jewish, and of the total number of Bolshevik party members about 5% were Jewish.
Of these 21 Central Committee members THESE were ethnic Russians – about 43%, and if
we look at the demographics of Russia in the early 20th century, we will see that ethnic
Russians were 44% of the Russian population.
Yes, that is how ethnically diverse the country was at the time…
So there were as many ethnic Russians in the leadership positions as there should be under
fair and equal circumstances.
The guy who led the party – Vladimir Lenin, came from an ethnic background that might
be fitting, considering the ethnic diversity of the country he would become the leader
of, but just like the country, he was much more ethnically Russian than anything else.
David Duke of course focuses on Lenin's Jewish grandparent, which I find a little
odd not only because Lenin's part-Jewish ancestry was unknown during his life-time,
but also since he's willing to consider Lev Kamenev to be a Jew, even though he was
half-Jewish.
Kamenev should therefore be considered as much of an ethnic Russian as a Jew – maybe
his Jewish wife somehow becomes the tipping point, but Lenin had no Jewish wife, nor anything
in his ancestry that could get close to rivaling his Russian one, so how is he not considered
a Russian?
The complaint that the Alt-Right has, obviously comes down to the number of Jewish people
in the Bolshevik leadership.
Jews were 3 to 4% of the Russian Empire's population, which would be close to 2% in
the Soviet Union.
3 to 4% in the Russian Empire is a bit different from the 28.5% of the Bolshevik Central Committee,
and it probably requires some explanation.
DUKE: …[they] hated Russia because they saw the Russian Tsar as an anti-Semite, well
the reason why the Russian Tsar to them was anti-"Semitic", [was that] he was a Russian
patriot.
And he saw the exploitation of Russia by these international banksters, he was a dedicated
Christian, he saw the destruction of Christian values going on…
PROBLEM GENE: No David, the anti-Semitism refers to things like permitting pro-Tsarist
groups to kill thousands, if not tens of thousands of Jews in pogroms.
There also existed prohibitions to the civil rights of Jewish people in the Russian Empire,
Tsars themselves were anti-Jewish, and state officials also played no small role in the
creation and distribution of the Protocol of the Elders of Zion – an influential piece
of anti-Semitic propaganda in the early 20th century.
There are no more conspiracies you need to invent in order to explain the disproportional
involvement of Jews in the revolutionary parties, than to explain the disproportional involvement
of dark-skinned people in the civil rights movement in America.
People who are treated harshly by the current system might want to change it, and this likely
was the main reason why some Jews were at the forefront of the Bolsheviks and other
revolutionary parties – I'll bring up other possible reasons in phase three.
Due to the anti-Semitism of the Tsarist government you might think that the people of Russia
must have grown extremely anti-Semitic by and large as well, but turns out, revolutionary
parties with prominent Jewish leading figures managed to become popular, as is made evident
by the elections surrounding the October Revolution; in mid-1917 the Bolsheviks were the third
most popular party in Russia, while the Mensheviks – another socialist party, were the second
most popular even though the Mensheviks were more Jewish led than the Bolsheviks.
The Socialist Revolutionaries – the party that managed to beat the Mensheviks had two
Jewish founding members out of four.
In the elections following the Bolshevik coup d'état the Socialist Revolutionaries proved
themselves once again to have been the party a bit more of the public's taste, while
the Bolsheviks had risen to the spot of the second most popular party in Russia.
By the way, this was not a phony election, despite the fact that it took place after
the Bolshevik coup.
The Bolsheviks should have gotten like 99.4% of the votes if this election had been a fraud,
instead of being upstaged by another party.
The reason I brought up these election results was to give evidence that goes against the
narrative that the Alt-Right – and anti-Semites in general want to twist the October Revolution
into.
It was not some hostile foreign culture taking over Russia; socialism was very much the tide
of the country at the time, at least among the voting bloc, and while the Socialist Revolutionaries
were the most popular, Bolsheviks came in at second.
ANGLIN: …okay?
White Christians in Russia, in Ukraine, were slaughtered by Communism being run by Jewish
people who were enacting a program that was invented by a Jew…
PROBLEM GENE: The mass murders in the Soviet Union were committed during the Bolshevik
rule; the Red Terror, the dekulakization, the 1931-3 famine, the Purge, crimes during
and soon after World War 2, and the Gulag camp system.
The famine of the early 1920s doesn't count in my view, because it was caused by factors
like war, drought, and weather.
The initial actions of the Bolsheviks didn't help the starving victims, but Lenin would
let foreign aid into the country, which was used to feed close to 11 million Russian people
daily.
The Russian Civil War is very complicated.
There's no one side that deserves all, or even most of the blame.
Lenin's strive for power was one of causes, meaning that the Bolsheviks were to a degree
guilty of the Civil War, and the famine by extension, but I don't think that either
one of these two events could truly be classified as Communist atrocities.
During the Civil War there was a period of mass killing – often called the 'Red Terror',
which was the first mass murder under Bolshevik rule.
The mass murder began after the assassination attempt on Lenin, and was justified as an
effort to crush the hydra of counter-revolution.
The Red Terror would claim, reasonably, up to 200,000 lives.
Despite the fact that this happened during the time when plenty of Jewish people were
in the Central Committee, Jewish involvement in this mass murder was quite lacking.
The killings were carried out by the secret police – Cheka as it was called at the time,
which was headed by Felix Dzerzhinsky, who was among the main culprits for the Red Terror,
along with his deputy Jekabs Peterss, and at the very top, Lenin, who was encouraging
the terror.
None of the culprits here were Jews, and in a surprising twist, Latvians were the minority
most over-represented in the Cheka leadership.
Lenin died on January 21st 1924, which would leave Stalin as the most powerful person in
the Soviet Union.
And contrary to what Western-Trotsky-fetishists might claim, there was really no hope for
Trotsky becoming Lenin's successor.
Jewish influence in Soviet politics was greatly reduced in this time – in fact let's go
over what happened to every Jewish Central Committee member before the major Soviet atrocities
would take place; in 1918 Uritsky was assassinated, in 1919 Sverdlov died of disease, 1926 was
the year when Sokolnikov lost his place in the Central Committee – all though his political
career would not be completely over just yet, in 1927 Kamenev was thrown out of the Central
Committee, while Trotsky and Zinoviev were expelled from the entire party, and Kamenev
alongside Zinoviev would be exiled in early 1928.
The 1920s were when Russians become the majority in the leading positions – which would not
change by the way, and Jews were taken out of the leading positions, with one exception;
Lazar Kaganovich – we'll talk more about him later.
The collectivization would bring forth the biggest atrocities in Soviet history; the
dekulakization in which most of the 5 million people victimized by this policy were deported
under brutal conditions, and the 1931-3 Soviet famine in which millions starved.
1928 is the year in which collectivization could be said to have begun; this was for
one thing, the year of the Shakhty trial.
In order to justify policies against the so-called kulaks, the Soviet government needed to stir
up some hostility towards their class enemies, and this was done by having the secret police
– now called OGPU, fabricate a counter-revolutionary plot to sabotage Soviet power, which supposedly
occurred in the mining settlement known as Shakhty.
No kind of sabotage actually happened.
About a year later Stalin would be instigating the dekulakization but let's take a look
at David Duke's interpretation of the upcoming mass murder, and who does he single out as
the perpetrator…
Here's Yagoda, whom David – while trying to hide behind the ignorance of his source,
accepts as being responsible for 10 million deaths, which is an idea he still gets behind
as recently as August 2018.
He never explains this figure, but it might come from Robert Conquest's 1986 book "The
Harvest of Sorrow" in which Conquest estimates 11 million total deaths from dekulakization
and the famine.
In Robert Conquest's 1990 book "The Great Terror: A Reassessment" he estimated that
the death toll of the Soviet regime couldn't be lower than 20 million, but in his 2008
edition of the book, on page 18 he was willing to lower that figure to 15 million, suggesting
that the number of victims from the collectivization policies could also be lower.
In The Harvest of Sorrow, the book from before the opening of the Soviet archives, Conquest
estimates the number of people dekulakized to have been a lot higher than most recent
scholarship would allow, which might explain why he was willing to lower the possible Soviet
death toll by 5 million later in his life.
Let's get back to Yagoda…
You might wondering what I'm trying to hide by blocking out the text like this, well;
one of the bodies of text mentions an argument I will deal with later, so I don't want
to confuse you now, and the others contain perhaps the most outrageously dishonest crap
I have ever read in my life, which I will show you but only at the end.
Genrikh Yagoda indeed was Jewish, and he was the de facto head of the secret police, OGPU,
at the time of these collectivization policies, since Menzinsky – the official head, had
to remain inactive due to his illnesses.
I can see why someone who stopped his research at this point would conclude that Yagoda must
have been a mass murderer of a sort, but let's not be hasty with our conclusions, and continue
reading…
The kulaks were a very loosely defined class of wealthier peasants, better-off farmers
and such, who had been a sneaky class enemy of the Bolsheviks pretty much from the start.
From the Marxist outlook the existence of this kulak class was incompatible with socialism,
so it's no wonder that the Bolsheviks considered them enemies.
The liquidation of the kulak class was just about the first thing that the Political Bureau
of the Central Committee decided upon in 1930, following Stalin's speech about the topic
in late December 1929.
Stalin was already planning the liquidation of the kulaks in the earlier month, when he
called in a number of OGPU officials to play a part in the future task, which included
Yagoda of course, Stanislav Messing – his equally Jewish deputy, and Yevdokimov.
You might remember seeing Yevdokimov's name in relation to the Shakhty trial since he
was one of the key figures in that event.
Yefim Yevdokimov had a remarkable career in the army, and became the head of the North-Caucasus
secret police in 1923.
Yevdokimov, as you might expect, wasn't Jewish – he was Russian, and in 1929 he
was brought into the upper-ranks of the OGPU where he would work as a counterweight to
Yagoda power, since Yevdokimov was now in charge of many of the OGPU's departments
and quickly forged a strong nucleus of loyal OGPU officials.
Yevdokimov was in charge of the Secret political directorate, which in turn – to name some,
administered the department for combating anti-Soviet bourgeois parties and movements,
the department for combating counter-revolutionaries in the Red Army, and the departments for combating
espionage and counter-revolutionary action in the East.
In 1930, the OGPU's order to liquidate the kulak class ensued from the Central Committee's
decision, and in the OGPU a special group was formed for the task of carrying out the
liquidation of the kulaks with Yevdokimov as the guy in charge of the dekulakization
operation, and of this whole team of kulak liquidators only THIS one here was Jewish
– yup, someone call the Nazis, we found a Jew!
Yagoda's role is hard to specify, but he likely was more involved in the second wave
of kulak deportations, when he was also reporting to Stalin about the progress of the dekulakization,
so let's not get too carried away with Yevdokimov, and let's just say that he holds at least
equal amount of responsibility as Yagoda, even if Yevdokimov is never mentioned in David's
book.
Nothing I've said here excuses Yagoda or his OGPU goons, they were all bad people and
complicit in the mass murder – not genocide, of the kulaks, like Yevdokimov and his goons,
I just don't agree that Yagoda or any other OGPU official should be singled out as a mass
murderer.
At the end of the day the OGPU was working in accordance with the decisions of the Central
Committee, and the Central Committee was working in accordance with the will of Stalin, who
also personally communicated with OGPU and whose idea it was to get rid of the kulaks
in the first place.
If anybody here deserves enough blame to be called a murderer of the hundreds of thousands,
if not millions of victims, it would have to be Stalin, and the people who backed his policies
in the Central Committee deserve some blame, as well as the OGPU officials like Yagoda
and Yevdokimov who carried those policies.
There's no reason to cherry-pick one Jewish person from this bureaucracy and scapegoat
him as the person responsible for the deaths caused by all of this.
The dekulakization would serve as one of the causes for the 1931-3 famine, but it wouldn't
be fair to attribute the famine to the people involved in the dekulakization, since that
famine was a completely unintended consequence, there were multiple other causal factors as
well, and a whole bunch of different people guilty of aggravating that situation.
In 1921 Lenin forced upon the Party Congress the 'New Economic Policy', which allowed
a degree of economic freedom for the peasants, but this would be overturned by Stalin in
late 1928 – whose collectivization ideas go back as far as 1906.
In 1930 the last of the people opposing the [forced] collectivization, Alexei Rykov, lost his position
in the regime, and the first five-year plan which began in 1928 and attempted to collectivize
agriculture and industrialize the country under the pretext than capitalist nations
will beat up and rob countries that are weak, no longer had opponents.
The collectivization didn't go so well; the Soviet regime immediately came across
resistance from the peasants, who did not want to be pushed into the collective farms
and would protest by sometimes killing their livestock.
Before the year 1929 was done, the secret police had recorded over one thousand peasant
protests, and these protests would increase to the point where the OGPU recorded close
to seven thousand protests in March 1930 alone.
1930 is when Ukraine saw its largest protests against the state policy.
The killing of the livestock as a protest occurred again.
This collectivization policy resulted in a devastating loss of farm animals, demoralized
collective farmers who had been forced into the farms against their will, and a dekulakization
which had gotten rid of all possible experienced farmers.
These policies placed the Soviet Union on a knife-edge, which meant that when it was
struck by drought, terrible weather, and a locus infestation that incompetent state officials
couldn't deal with, a famine was the inevitable consequence.
Tankies tend to blame the natural causes only for this famine, like the drought and grain
rust.
Both did exist, but the grain rust for example only became a problem because of the unskilled
officials.
The previous, more experienced farmers likely could have identified it in time and it wouldn't
have developed into such an issue.
Without Stalin's collectivization the Soviet agriculture would have been in a far better
position to overcome any famine, and far less people would have died.
The early 1930s Soviet famine killed 5 to 7 million people all around, including over
a million Kazakhs and about 3.5 million Ukrainians.
As I've shown, the famine was in no way whatsoever created intentionally.
And while every victim is a testament to how unbelievably dangerous Communist ideology
can be, their starvation was not a result of mass murder, except, as you might be aware,
in the Ukrainian portion of the famine, where Ukrainians were at least to an extent intentionally
starved when the Soviet leadership kept coming up with ways to punish the starving Ukrainians
when they failed to meet the impossible quotas, when the Soviets should have been helping
them.
It's important to note that the number Ukrainians that died is around that 3.5 million.
The demographic study conducted by a department of Ukraine's National Academy of Sciences
proposed a figure of 3.9 million dead.
So rounding up these figures - saying that 4 million Ukrainians died wouldn't be false,
but let's be more precise and say that close to 4 million died.
Close to 4 million – definitely not six million or more, which are the figures fascists
use to trivialize the Holocaust, and imply that there is some Jewish bias in the way
history is taught.
COLLETT: …take for example the Holodomor, and for those who've never heard of the
Holodomor, it is also known as the Ukrainian genocide.
The Holodomor killed an – an officially estimated, 7 million to 10 million people.
Yet, despite more people being killed in the Holodomor than killed during the Holocaust,
I doubt any schoolchildren…
PROBLEM GENE: Of course it's not only rightwing radicals who use these inflated figures – they're
just the ones who do it for nefarious purposes.
PETERSON: …I mean it's absolutely dreadful what happened in the Soviet Union, I mean
just for starters, 6 million Ukrainians died in the 1930s because of forced starvation…
PROBLEM GENE: David also uses the inflated figures to make the Holocaust seem like some
propaganda tool used to garner sympathy for Jewish people, while hiding the supposed atrocities
of Jews themselves.
This was not a Jewish atrocity – as we shall see, and I think that people's lack of knowledge
of Soviet crimes simply has to do with poor history education.
People are just as ignorant of the Congo Free State and crimes of Hirohito's Japan – even
though these too were among the great atrocities of the 20th century.
It's understandable that there would be more focus on the Holocaust over other mass
killings, since it's the worst genocide ever recorded; in which over 60% of the European
Jewish population was killed in a period of 4 years, but getting back to David…
He picks another Jewish guy to be his scapegoat – Lazar Kaganovich, who was only Jewish
person in Stalin inner circle, and you might remember him from before as also the only
Jewish member of the political bureau during the Stalin era.
David blows Kaganovich's role out of all proportions – even worse than he did with
Yagoda, while again ignoring every other person guilty of the starvation of the Ukrainians.
The Kiev court case from 2010, while making unwarranted conclusions about the motives,
provides useful information about some of the key figures in this atrocity.
It counts seven; Stalin, Molotov, Kaganovich, Postyshev, Kossior, Chubar and Khatayevich.
Kaganovich and Khatayevich representing the Jewish problem here…
Apparently David wasn't aware of the existence of Khatayevich, since he wasn't mentioned
in his book.
Having two Jews connected to this atrocity would have been a goldmine for him, but we
might find out soon why he didn't know about Khatayevich.
The court papers list nearly 40 events from January 15th 1932 to June 4th 1933, and looking
at the court papers, you will see which of these seven perpetrators were the most significant;
Stalin again played the most crucial role and he is highlighted as being "the chief
ideologist and organizer" of the event, and as playing "the lead role and a key
role in masterminding the crime, establishing the means for its commission, controlling
its execution", and conceiving "all principal Party decisions".
This is why he, like with the dekulakization, has earned the title of mass murderer, others
were lesser culprits.
Below him, would be his right-hand man in the regime; Vyacheslav Molotov, who often
worked very closely with the dictator.
Then Kaganovich, who worked with other important characters, and also a few times with the
dictator…
Then Stanislav Kossior, Pavel Postyshev and Vlas Chubar; Kossior was the party boss of
Ukraine, and according to these court papers, took part in more party actions that lead
to the starvation of Ukrainians than anyone else, but not all party actions were equally
consequential.
Postyshev is credited as having control over Kossior, and signing some of the export quotas
for Ukraine, and Chubar participated in the blacklisting of villages – among other things...
Finally we have Mendel Khatayevich, a member of the Ukrainian Communist Party, who is credited
as mainly informing the Soviet leadership of the starvation in Ukraine, and working
on a few occasions as Chubar's sidekick.
This is probably why David didn't know about Khatayevich; his role was quite minimal, at
least when compared to the others.
One person who is definitely missing from this list is Vsevolod Balytsky – who was
a Ukrainian himself and the head of Ukraine's secret police during the most critical time
period.
Balytsky had been in the leading positions of the Ukrainian secret police since 1918,
but relieved from his post in 1931 – briefly replaced with Stanislav Redens, and brought
back as the de facto head of the Ukrainian secret police in November 1932.
During the Ukrainian famine he had likely corroborated with Stalin, and certainly worked
with Kaganovich and Postyshev in squeezing grain out of Ukraine.
Balytsky was also appointed by Postyshev for the task of liquidating the Ukrainian nationalists
who were blamed for the famine.
It wouldn't be right to assume that the highest ranking members of the secret police
must have been automatically the masterminds of any atrocities, but this evidence that
I've just given you, strongly suggests that Balytsky was a perpetrator, much more so that
Khatayevich I'd say, but let's put them on equal ground, just to be generous.
Now let's look at this pyramid through David Duke goggles…
Wait, that's still not right, maybe we need to focus this thing a little…
*DOOM MUSIC!!*
But seriously, this whole thing doesn't exactly have the stench of Judaism
on it.
The OGPU was replaced by the new secret police – NKVD, in 1934, with Stalin appointing
Yagoda as the head.
Yagoda now ran the secret police, and not just de facto like before, and this would
be the time when the secret police organs became substantially more Jewish – details
in phase three.
The next few years in the USSR were relatively peaceful – like calm before the storm, and
the Purge AKA The Great Terror in the years of 1937-38 would see over 800,000 people executed
– a figure which doesn't include the people who died in the camps.
Historians have not quite figured out why this event happened, but the reasons likely
had something to do with Stalin's grievances with his old enemies, and wanting to solidify
his own power.
Yagoda, as the head of the NKVD was arresting suspects in the early stage of the terror,
but soon – before the terror would reach its peak, Yagoda himself got caught in the
crossfire of baseless accusations after losing his spot as the head of the NKVD to Nikolai
Yezhov.
Yagoda's life wouldn't last long, as he would be executed a bit over a year later
at the same time as the legendary Bolshevik revolutionary Nikolai Bukharin.
Yezhov, the new head of NKVD wasn't Jewish but Russian – all though later discovered
to have had a Lithuanian mother, and he could speak Polish apparently.
He didn't seem like a threatening figure; being short as a dwarf, tormented by a notably
bad health and alcoholism, but he and his Russian deputy – Mikhail Frinovsky, would
turn out to be major instruments used by Stalin for the terror.
In the chaos of the Terror, a huge amount of so-called foreign spies were arrested – some
would be executed, whom Stalin must have known were largely innocent, but according to the
logic of the Terror; it was better to strike down some innocent people, than let even one
guilty person go free.
During the Terror, some familiar faces – besides just Yagoda, would be executed, such as Kamenev
and Zinoviev.
Zinoviev didn't look happy at his capture – maybe the Jews since then have learned
to orchestrate better conspiracies...
At one point, Mao Zedong was targeted as a Trotskyite – imagine the butterfly effect
if the NKVD had gone after him...
At the end of the Terror Yezhov would lose his spot at the top of the NKVD, to a guy
named Lavrenti Beria who had a long and an impressive secret police career already behind
him.
In the usual fashion, Yezhov was arrested after his resignation, and would later be
executed.
As for the circle of guilt; Stalin was without a question the main perpetrator of this atrocity
– even his inner circle was blindsided by his actions and in the Terror Yezhov plus
his Russian deputy – Frinovsky were the central implementers.
The people in Stalin's inner circle were accessories, for cosigning sentencing lists
and intensifying the chaos.
Of the half a dozen people in his inner circle, Kaganovich remains the only Jewish person.
Then we have the Jewish editor of Pravda who with his propaganda directed the public's
perceptions – hardly responsible for any deaths, and one important NKVD operative in
Western Siberia and Mongolia was Jewish…
The Terror was also brought inside the NKVD, and as you might remember, the NKVD was very
Jewish when the Terror began, but the number of Jews was being greatly reduced as the Terror
went on while the number of ethnic Russians grew immensely, and Beria would finish the
job by cleaning the NKVD from Jewish people almost completely.
As you can see, Jewish influence barely existed in this atrocity, so reading about how David
Duke had spun this into his narrative was interesting.
Who is he going to try to scapegoat this time?
C'mon, take a guess!
Its Jewish wives, particularly Yezhov's Jewish wife...
We don't need to go through the Soviet atrocities past this point, since the disproportionate
Jewish influence doesn't come back; Beria, who was a Georgian like Stalin, continued
as the head of the NKVD – the final Soviet atrocities like the deportations of ethnic
and national minorities, killing over a million German POWs and the Katyn massacre occurred
during his reign, the Jews would remain a small minority in the secret police organs
and Kaganovich the only Jew in Stalin's inner circle.
The Gulag camp system started with the Bolshevik rule, and spanned well into the 1950s.
In one sentence on the secret Yagoda-page I've been reluctant to show you, David tries
to pin the blame for the Gulag onto Yagoda's Jewish deputies, which is what he will dedicate
an entire paragraph for later in his book – he's being very deceptive by associating
the Jewish individuals with any millions dying.
1930s was the time when the secret police was very Jewish, so it's no surprise that
the camp commanders also were disproportionately Jewish at that time.
Out of the six characters David highlights, these three were the prominent ones in regards
to the Gulag – these were not Yagoda's deputies by the way.
Frenkel, while exaggerated by Solzhenitsyn, was a high-ranking commander at Solovetsky
– whether or not he actually was Jewish (likely was), and played an important role
in the early development of the Gulag system.
Perhaps thousands died at Solovetsky – some under the orders of Yezhov, so there likely
aren't many deaths that we can pin on Frenkel.
Kogan was the head of the Gulag system in the first three years of the 1930s – with
Berman as his deputy.
During his administration the average death rate was 4%, and close to 30,000 people died
in total.
The roles soon switched when Kogan became the deputy, and Matvei Berman became the head
of the Gulag, and the biggest criminal of these three, since he held an average death
rate of 5.3%, and a total of 193,000 died.
All of that can't be blamed of Berman; the building of the White Sea Canal was pushed
by Stalin – a project that killed some 25,000, and 1937 was the first year of the Terror
– another one of Stalin's projects, during which people were crammed into the Gulags.
None the less, Berman could be responsible for over 100,000 deaths.
When Beria became the NKVD chief, he would take steps to enlarge the Gulag system, by
then the Jews had been purged out of the NKVD, including many of the former Gulag commanders.
The war made life in the Gulags much worse; the treatment of protesting prisoners become
harsher, and war meant food shortages.
During these years the head of the Gulag was Viktor Nasedkin – who wasn't Jewish but
Ukrainian, and two million people died in the Gulags at this time – about 70% of the
total Gulag death toll, with the death rate reaching 25%.
All of this can't be just attributed the German invasion, since the Soviets began to
arrest ridiculous numbers of people from the areas they now occupied, and stuff them into
the overcrowded Gulags.
Berman, the guiltiest of the Jewish perpetrators of the Gulag, could be credited with 4-7%
of all the Gulag victims.
If you want to count all Gulag deaths from Yagoda's reign and combine Berman, Kogan
and Frenkel for some collective Jewish responsibility – regardless whether Frenkel actually was
Jewish (again, he likely was); that would still have to be less than 8.2% of the total
dead, while Nasedkin – under Beria's reign, could be credited with 70% of the victims,
so it doesn't make sense to link the horrifying image of the Gulag that people have in their
minds, with Jewish individuals.
Now we get to move away from the Soviet Union for a while, because David Duke is not done
yet!
DUKE: …millions more [by] Pol Pot in Cambodia, 20, 30, 40 million in China – all around…
And even in China, the people who spread Communism there actually Jews, believe it or not.
That's a fact, and I have all these documents in my book…
PROBLEM GENE: So THE people who spread Communism to China were Jewish...
Let's look at his book to see if he can substantiate that.
First, he names a Comintern official, who served as an advisor to already existing Chinese
communists, then a doctor, then a doctor/soldier who later worked as a diplomat, then a photographer/filmmaker,
a journalist, a translator, a writer/translator, and finally another journalist.
He's really grasping at straws here.
Maybe the first one – the Comintern official, could be considered a footnote to the history
of Chinese Communism, but even his efforts were merely a part of a much larger campaign
to support the Chinese Communists.
I don't know how the rest could be considered to have had any serious influence – they
certainly weren't THE people who spread Communism to China.
David was lying when he said that.
MR.E: …the secret police known as the Cheka [was] also dominated by this ethnic group.
This was so well establish that Winston…
PROBLEM GENE: I wasn't sure how to properly incorporate this into the second phase, so
I decided to deal with this notion in a separate segment, since now that we are aware of the
secret police officials who were the accomplices to mass murder, simply citing statistics about
the secret police organs shouldn't confuse anyone.
The secret police reached its Jewish peak in the mid-1930s, but how Jewish was it, you
might ask?
During Yagoda's rule the Jews were roughly 38% of the NKVD leadership – about 19 times
the over-representation compared to the Jewish population of the USSR, and of the 573 man
central apparatus listed, these were Jewish – 20%.
This could have had something to do with Yagoda trusting Jews more than others, since even
in his OGPU days he chose to surround himself with Jewish deputies.
The OGPU was about 8% Jewish in 1925 – 4 times the over-representation, a number which
rapidly grew alongside Yagoda's power.
There exists a blind-spot between 1925 and 1934 – a time period for which there are
no reliable statistics, but we can make some estimates based on other data.
The best way to do this is to look at the OPGU in 1929 and investigate these officials
one at a time, using websites dedicated for these topics, and find out how many were Jewish.
In 1929 the OGPU's highest ranking positions were already about 24% Jewish – about 12
times the over-representation.
What about the whole central apparatus?
We know that in1934 the NKVD central apparatus was roughly 20% Jewish and in 1925 the OGPU
was 8% Jewish.
If that number grew at a steady rate, we can assume that in 1929 the central apparatus
must have been about 14% Jewish.
Most of the NKVD Jews were long-timers – just as they were in the leadership, if we look
at which of these groups got hit the heaviest during the Jewish purge, and THESE ones had
been in the secret police before the 1925 census.
THESE joined before the census, but likely not counted in it, and THESE joined between
1925 and 1930.
According of this, from 1925 to 1930 there had to be over 20% increase within the Jewish
portion of the OGPU, which – since they were 8% in 1925, would now have to be over
10%.
This doesn't include the Jewish individuals who joined and left during the blind-spot
– I have no information on them, so my initial 14% estimate of the entire central apparatus,
likely isn't too far off.
David cited a book called "The Jewish Century" for his argument, and tried to paint the first
secret police – Cheka, as very Jewish using a quote.
His source, "The Jewish Century" explains how Jewish Chekists disproportionately worked
in the upper ranks, how in 1923 Jews were 15.5% of the OGPU's high-ranking officials
and in one department half of the officials.
This page indeed contains the quote David took, but it also contains something else...
Before this paragraph the book explains how the Jewish proportion in the Cheka overall
wasn't very high, how Jews were 8.6% of the upper ranks, how Russians were the majority
and Latvians were greatly over-represented.
The Jews in their secret police peak were 19 times over-represented, but during the
Red Terror Latvians were 50% of the leading Cheka officials, which is 500 times the over-representation
– fucking Christ!
Latvians in 1925 were 16.7% of the OGPU central apparatus – 160 times the over-representation,
in 1929 they were 12% of the leading OGPU – [120] times, and during Yagoda's reign
– still 70 times.
Fascinating... Let's look at the Poles too, before making an analysis…
In 1925 the OGPU central apparatus was about 6% Polish – 10 times the over-representation,
in 1929 the OGPU leading positions were 7% Polish – 13 times, and during Yagoda's
reign they were still over 8 times over-represented.
This ought to be interesting for someone who's worried about over-representation in the secret
police.
Whether you know it or not, you've heard lots of Polish names throughout this video,
and some ethnic Poles were closely connected to the USSR's mass murdering; The Red Terror
was mainly orchestrated by the head of the Cheka, Dzerzhinsky who was Polish.
The dekulakization didn't have much Polish influence, apart from Jan Kulikowski AKA Olsky,
who was Yevdokimov's assistant for the dekulakization operation.
Kossior, who was the party boss in Ukraine during the famine, was Polish.
Redens, who ran the Ukrainian OGPU in 1932, was Polish.
Vyshinsky, who was the state procurator and worked with Stalin during the Great Terror,
was also Polish.
Now, acknowledge the fact that there were close to 4 times fewer Poles than Jews in
the USSR, and let this list of names sink in.
I don't understand; is it the over-representation of Jewish people here that is supposed to
make me suspicious of them, if it is then shouldn't I be more suspicious of Poles
and Latvians?
If it's the sheer number of Jews that is supposed to make me suspicious, or them collectively
guilty of Soviet crimes, then shouldn't that mentality be applied to Russians themselves
much more so, since they were the majority in the secret police and the party leadership
during every single crime?
Which is it?
And if the logic is neither one of the two above, then it needs to be explained in detail
– just saying that "it's both" wouldn't do that.
And our logic needs to be consistent – the Soviets were willing to be with theirs.
During the Great Terror the Latvians were the first of these three minorities to be
targeted, and the Poles were soon after them, which is what you might have noticed in this
table that shows the Latvians and Poles disappearing during the Terror.
But why is it that these minorities were over-represented?
In the case of the Latvians, as you might have already been able to piece together,
they were directly sought out.
Lenin had formed close ties with the Communist leaders in the Baltic region – especially
in Latvia, thus a number of Latvians were introduced very early on into the upper ranks
of the Cheka and the army.
At the coming of the Civil War, Latvian troops became really the only ones the Bolsheviks
could rely on, due to how well trained and organized they were, and army experience seems
to have been of some benefit in acquiring positions in the secret police, since in the
NKVD all of the highest ranking officials had been in the army, except for Beria and
Zakovsky – who in the utmost irony was the only Latvian of this bunch.
Therefore the Latvian minority in Russia and the USSR, all though small, was now in part
comprised of people who had been selected and brought into the country for Cheka and
army work.
While not yet the full story, this does show that even such an unbelievable over-representation
like that of the Latvians can be largely explained by rather simple facts, so how much world-wide
conspiracy and race realism do you think we need in order to explain much lesser over-representation,
especially after taking all other factors into account?
The anti-Semitic nature of Tsarist Russia chiefly explains why some Jewish people ended
up supporting movements like the Bolsheviks, but there were also the Russification campaigns
which alienated other minorities and drove them into anti-Tsarist revolutionary movements.
Ethnic Russians were favored in Tsarist Russia, and they dominated all political positions,
which meant that Jews, Georgians, Latvians and to lesser extent, Poles, might have been
trusted more since these groups were extremely unlikely to have any connections to the previous
regime.
Some of the minorities could have also been better educated of average, and their populations
might have been concentrated in areas which themselves were more politically active.
There also could have been something akin to affirmative action; if the Soviet leadership
understood that the poor treatment of minorities had helped in spurring a revolution, they
might have been careful not to exclude any of them this time around.
The explanation might also have to do with PR, or maybe the explanation lies in a combination
of multiple factors.
The real answer is hard to pinpoint, but purely environmental explanations can account for
all of this, and they are much more viable than any conspiratorial or racialist thinking,
so there's no good reason to be suspicious about, let alone discriminate against any
of these groups.
There were no Jewish mass murderers, and Jewish people are not any more "collectively guilty"
of Soviet crimes than Russians, Poles, Latvians, or Georgians – not that any ethnic groups
even could be guilty of something…
We, meaning along with my help, managed to find a handful of Jews who were involved in
the greater USSR crimes, but there's no justification for placing special focus on
them.
Not only would it be unfair towards them, but it would be excusing everyone else who
played a part, especially the dictator who did more than anyone.
Stalin is the name that kept coming up in relation to all of the atrocities, yet there
is just one paragraph in David's entire book which briefly acknowledges Stalin's
culpability, but only as a set-up for some argument about a supposed Jewish bias in the
media, and there's another paragraph in which David tries to repudiate Stalin of the
guilt by displaying him as a mere puppet – a very odd thing to do for a claimed anti-Communist…
There was that one page I refused to show you in full; how outrageously dishonest could
it be?
Well look at this; he writes that Yagoda MURDERED 10 million – which is false as we know by
now, but then the Holocaust victims are only "alleged".
He also picks the lowest death toll ever proposed for the Holocaust, which came from a guy who
did his research in the 1950s – long before historians reached their most complete understanding.
One would think that since [David's] method appears to be picking the lowest estimates,
he would also say that 2.5 million Ukrainians died in the famine, since that is the lowest
estimate for that atrocity, and that is what he would do, if he was an honest person!
DUKE: …there's no movies made about the Holodomor!
Where 8 million Christian – ugh, you know… 8 million Ukrainians were massacred!
That's why the Ukrainians hate the Russians, but it really wasn't the Russians, the Russians
themselves were being murdered by (((these))) people!
This is what's going on…
PROBLEM GENE: 8 million is the highest estimate doubled!
How dishonest can it get?!
He lies about Yagoda's role, he lies about the likely number of victims, he lies about
the motivation, he lies about the number of Hitler's victims; leaving out the over 20
million Soviets the Nazi regime killed and more.
He calls the Holocaust victims only "alleged", while leaving zero benefit of the doubt about
the victims of the Soviet regime.
If Yagoda really was twice as bad as Hitler – like David implicitly claims, then surely
as he had the most power, and the Jewish influence in the NKVD was the strongest, we wouldn't
have seen so few killings.
At first, I was skeptical about David Duke – maybe the world's most famous racist,
being as bad as everyone says, but look at this page!
This is what a vicious anti-Semite he really is!
What else can you call someone who very carefully defends the regime that committed the Holocaust,
while spreading misinformation to incite dislike and distrust of Jewish people?
He was dishonest about the Russian Revolution, he was dishonest about Yagoda, dishonest about
Kaganovich, dishonest about China and everything else.
His entire arguments consisted of nothing but half-truths, misrepresentations of history
and severe confirmation bias.
Thanks for watching this.
My next video is probably going to be about how the Alt-Right lies about World War 2,
or it might be about how they try to trivialize the Holocaust.
The latter one would also place focus onto some more moderate right-wingers, and how
they can accidentally do serious harm when they exaggerate Communist horrors, and downplay
the Nazi ones.
Whatever the next video may be, I'll see you there, I hope!
