Here is a frame from a video (1) that YouTube removed (at Ukraine’s request) in which a member of the U.S.-installed Ukrainian Parliament answers, at 12:46, a reporter’s question, by blurting out “Heil Hitler”:


Here’s the opening of a Daily Mail article:

“Shocking pictures from inside neo-Nazi military camp reveal recruits as young as SIX are being taught how to fire weapons (even though there's a ceasefire)”

• Azov battalion, the far-right militia defending the port city of Mariupol, eastern Ukraine, runs the course for children

• During the week-long course, they teach so-called 'Azovets' how to fire weapons and survive in a conflict zone 

• Camp comes under command of Andriy Biletsky, who once admitted that the battalion 'do not like ceasefire at all'

• Conflict broke out in April 2014, when separatists rebelled against rule of Kiev's new Western-looking government

The U.S. CIA armed (and still does) the Azov Battalion (now called the Azov Regiment).

Biletsky has been explicit about his ideology: “Social Nationalism is based on a number of fundamental principles that clearly distinguish it from other right-wing movements. This triad is: socialism, racism, imperialism.” He defines: “I. Socialism. We fight to create a harmonious national community.” And: “II. Racism. All our nationalism is nothing — just a castle in the sand — without reliance on the foundation of blood Races.” And: “III. Imperialism. … The task of the present generation is to create a Third Empire [a Ukrainian Third Reich] — Great Ukraine.” He teaches this not only to his troops but to Ukraine's children. A French TV documentary, “Ukraine — Masks of the Revolution”, interviewed him. Ukraine objected to the documentary, so it was removed from YouTube.

The people who control the U.S. Government, which installed and controls today’s Ukrainian Government, are no longer unified about the racist-fascists, or “nazis,” that their agents who run America’s Government have emplaced in control over Ukraine’s Government.  

Political partisanship in America has finally reached the point where it might endanger the previous foreign-policy unanimity of America’s billionaires, who essentially own both Parties and their respective news-media to choose and “get out the vote” for their respective nominees on election days. No issues have been even nearly as bipartisan between their two Parties as foreign-affairs issues have been — for example, the unanimity typically reaches above 95% on sanctions legislation, to punish Russia, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, and other countries that they want to “regime-change” (take over) — but, now, their previous bipartisanship on these issues is beginning to break down. The news media of the Democratic Party  (2) still predominantly portray the Azov Battalion and other nazi Ukrainian organizations as being freedom fighters, champions of democracy, but the news-media of the Republican Party are even beginning to portray Ukraine’s nazis as being Ukraine’s nazis, and are beginning to handle those nazis as providing them an opportunity to gain politically with American voters against Democratic Party billionaires’ nominees, by exposing those Democratic nominees’ support for Ukraine’s nazis.

On October 5th, the anonymous author of the “Moon of Alabama” website headlined “Media Hide Fascist Ideology Of Ukrainian Militia Which Visit Congress” and summarized, quoted from, and linked to, dozens of recent mainstream U.S. news-stories that now are presenting as heroes the Hitler-modelled Ukrainian White-power-nationalist, rabidly anti-Russian, Azov Battalion. For example, the (Democratic Party’s) New York Times issued, on October 4th, “Released Azov commanders have an emotional reunion with family members in Turkey.” Their London bureau’s Senior Editor Enjoli Liston, who had previously worked at the U.S.-&-UK billionaires’ rabidly anti-Russian newspaper The Guardian, portrayed the Azov Battalion as heroic avatars of freedom. On 27 September 2022, a Republican-Party news-site, News Punch, headlined “Rep. Adam Schiff Greets Ukraine Neo-Nazis in US Capitol: ‘They Are So Brave’,” and reported that the Democratic Party’s leader in the House hearings against the Republican Trump in Russiagate, Adam Schiff, was now welcoming as heroes, leaders of the nazi Azov Battalion. (The Azovs, one with a missing leg and both dressed in black, not insignia-studded uniforms), are seen surrounded by regular Ukraine army females—Ed).


Warmongering scum like Adam Schiff —a rich Jewish politician shamelessly embracing Nazis, like his Ukrainian counterpart oligarch Igor Kolomoyskyi, who actualy funded the Azovs—thrive in a regime awash in hypocrisy and corruption. The Big Lie, enforced by the whore media, protects them.


Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff invited neo-Nazis serving in Ukraine’s Azov Battalion to the U.S. Capitol on Monday.


As recently as 16 December 2021, the United States was one of only two countries, the other being Ukraine, that voted against a General Assembly resolution to condemn “Nazism, neo‑Nazism, and other practices that contribute to fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance.” Most of America’s other-than-Ukraine ‘allies’ — or vassal-nations — simply abstained, including: UK, Turkey, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Slovenia, Slovakia, South Korea, Romania, Norway, New Zealand, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Latvia, Japan, Ireland, Iceland, Hungary, Greece, Germany, Georgia, France, Finland, Estonia, Denmark, Czechia, Cyprus, Croatia, Canada, Bulgaria, Belgium, and a few smaller countries. The “Vote summary” showed: “Yes: 130 | No: 2 | Abstentions: 51 | Non-Voting: 10 | Total voting membership: 193.” Consequently, without any question, the world’s leading pro-nazi country (at least its billionaires who control that country) is: America, and there is no close second (since Ukraine is so obviously controlled by the U.S. regime). 


About the authors
Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public. Media critic and geopolitical analyst Patrice Greanville is this publication's founding editor.


Editor's Notes


(1) The French documentary Masks of Revolution, mostly banned in US-controlled social media, is easily superior in terms of journalistic value and integrity to anything produced by US networks, but is nonetheless far from impartial. It clearly sides with "the West" in its characterisations of Russia's policies and motives, something that vitiates its impact. It buys, for example, the spurious notion that Russia—supposedly on a whim, or due to inscrutable Slavic perfidy— might actually have plans to invade Europe and France itself, which is nonsensical. It proclaims as fact that Putin prodded the Donbas republics—Donetsk and Lugansk—to be more aggressive toward Kiev, while precisely the opposite was the case.
(2) Moon of Alabama (MoA), as noted by the author, provides an excellent snapshot of the US /Western media's cynical switch in editorial attitude toward Ukraine's Nazis. (Media Hide Fascist Ideology Of Ukrainian Militia Which Visit Congress, Oct 5, 2022). The overview presented by MoA is simply obligatory. In this context, it is noteworthy that the Democrats control today the largest and most powerful bloc of media (in all formats, internet, TV, legacy newspapers, etc.) in the entire West and possibly the world, a power they have been shamelessly brandishing to turn reality upside down in pursuit of imperialist/corporatist and hegemonist goals, while completely betraying the foundational ideals of the real left. The Russiagate hoax was and remains just one example. The manufacturing and reckless pursuit of the Ukraine war—which could easily land the world in a global nuclear war— is another.

As "b" notes, speaking for every decent and well-informed person in the world:

As I had written previously:

What was once "a Ukrainian neo-Nazi paramilitary organization" which even the FBI said is notorious for its “association with neo-Nazi ideology” was first relabeled as merely "far right" before it became a normal "unit in the Ukrainian military".

Today the New York Times topped that evolution by turning a Ukrainian government press release into a tear-dripping story about the reunion of freed Azov losers with their families:

Released Azov commanders have an emotional reunion with family members in Turkey.

Commanders of Ukraine’s celebrated Azov Battalion have held an emotional reunion with their families in Turkey, Ukrainian officials said, honoring the fighters released from Russian confinement last month as part of the largest prisoner swap since the start of the war.

Among the 215 Ukrainian prisoners of war released in the exchange were 108 members of the Azov Battalion. The group’s defense of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol — the southern port city decimated by Russian forces in the first months of the war — has become a powerful symbol of the suffering inflicted by Russia and the resistance mounted by Ukraine.

Under the terms of the swap, the commanders of the battalion must remain in Turkey — which brokered the exchange — until the war ends. After months of waiting, they were reunited with family members on Monday, according to a statement from the office of President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and photographs distributed by the Ukrainian Presidential Press Service.

“There are many emotions,” Ukraine’s first lady, Olena Zelenska, who attended the meeting, said in a post on Telegram. “The road to this moment was long and difficult. Finally they were able to hug.”
...
Ms. Zelenska said she gave the Azov Battalion members “thanks from Ukraine, from the president and all the people for whom they are fighting.”

How can anyone working at the New York Times not be ashamed of this whitewash of a deeply fascist organization.

The NYT is far from the only 'western' media doing this. It was easy to find some 40 stories in mainstream media which between 2014 and April 2022 that critically discussed the 'controversial' Nazi ideology of Azov and other Ukrainian militia. Then the coverage abruptly changed turning those fascist groups into harmless patriots.

Others have done similar analyses:

In order to get a better sense of how Canadian media’s approach to reporting on the Azov Regiment (formerly the Azov Battalion) has changed over the years, we searched for every mention of the group in the archives of the Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, and National Post. We also searched through the CBC News website, as well as some of their broadcasts. All of the 90 unique mentions we found (as of August 10) were compiled, with the description of Azov provided in said article or broadcast being noted for comparison.

We found that these news outlets (and the wire services much of their coverage relied upon) went from directly acknowledging Azov’s neo-Nazi ideology to suggesting that the group is merely “controversial” or has a “checkered past.” Some reports included no qualifiers at all, and simply presented the group as just another Ukrainian military unit fighting against Russia.

It is not just the media but also politicians who have done a U-turn from condemning Azov and other Nazi groups to welcoming them as guests in Washington DC.


RECOMMENDED BY THE EDITORS

"Hitler may be dead, but his pernicious ideology lives on, as fascism was not really conclusively defeated in 1945. It merely retreated momentarily to friendly havens to rise again, more powerful and insidious than ever, under the auspices of the American hegemon. The Ukraine War is its new clarion call."
—Patrice Greanville, The Greanville Post
