These crimes cannot be talked about enough. Thank you. Have you seen the film, “Mr. Jones”? Written by Andrea Chalupa (of Gaslit Nation) who is, along with her co-host, Sarah Kendzior, an expert on Ukraine and the satellite countries that sprouted from the fall of the Soviet Union, the film is about the Welsh journalist, Gareth Jones, who nearly died getting out the story of the Holomodar in Ukraine after World War II. It’s an incredible film, directed by Agnieszka Holland, the great Polish filmmaker, and starring James Norton, Vanessa Kirby, and Peter Sarsgaard (in yet another brilliant turn as The NY Times reporter who kept the Holomodar a secret). We think there was a golden age of journalism, and in some ways that’s true, but there has always been corruption in the press. And it’s usually The NY Times. Hmmm, wonder why that is.
Horrific. The pre-planning part is the most inhumane part of this whole mess. Depriving the producers of the grain their food is wrong on every level. And you’re right, the Holodomor is the least known genocide, and I don’t know why.
I am thankful for you and your insights. Wishing you and your loved ones, along with your cute pup Xavier, a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving.
