August 23 is ‘Black Ribbon Day (BRD).’ This Ongoing Global Crusade — Deeply Rooted in Fascism — is Canada’s Most Successful Cold War Propaganda Export.

Here is some historical context on Aug. 23, 1939, that BRD's profascist groups would rather we all ignore, such as the meeting at the Kremlin one week earlier when UK and French officials refused Soviet pleas to join them in a military alliance to squash Nazi Germany. https://coat.ncf.ca/P4C/70/70_17.pdf

BRD was first spawned in 1985 by pro-NATO, anti-Soviet East European émigré groups in Toronto whose founding leaders were riddled with fascist collaborators, SS veterans, Holocaust perpetrators, and top officials of Nazi puppet regimes. In 2009, Liberal MP (Ontario's former NDP premier) Bob Rae's pro-BRD motion received all-party support in Parliament.

Cda's fascist-rooted grps have never been closer to power! The most egregious of them represent the far-right Ukrainian diaspora with which Freeland was worked for 30+ years.

 

These groups still get millions in govt handouts for big events, programs, propaganda organs and community centres that aid & abet the glorification of their fascist war heroes.

My articles on BRD's history are linked to other resources documenting the far-right groups that were key to gaining mass-media and govt support for this ongoing, global disinformation crusade. For example:

* Estonian Central Council

My research also links these organizations to the global, CIA-funded "Captive Nations" movement, the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations and the notorious World AntiCommunist League. These networks brought together Nazi collaborators, NATO generals, and US-armed/funded terrorist groups of "freedom fighting" assassins (such as the Afghan mujahideen and Nicaraguan contras), with fascist Third World dictators, and many other virulently Russophobic, anticommunist, and powerfully business-friendly Cold War forces that included politicians from the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, Latin America and elsewhere. https://coat.ncf.ca/P4C/70/70_48.htm
