The similarities between events during the Second
World War and the current upheavals are very striking. The Nazis were keen to
grab this ‘bread basket’ area of the Soviet Union. The current interest shown
by the Western regimes is again connected with grabbing ever diminishing world
resources as well as putting a further dagger at the throat of nuclear power
Russia.
The Germans, for instance are pouring resources into
the destabilisation of the Ukraine and are apparently funding the efforts of
the politically right wing boxer Klitschko. The same old discredited political
interfering figures of the right such as Labour’s Baronness Ashton and Nato’s
Rasmussen can’t wait to get to Kiev quickly enough whilst Hague has his usual
dirty sticky fingers in the meddling pie.
The reporting on this neo Fascist interference is
amazing, however. As commentator Nick Wright has stated on TV, the Channel 4
coverage, especially that of Matt Frei has been totally pro the fascist
attackers of the Ukraine regime. The BBC commentators, especially David Stern
but also Steven Mulvey, have gone so far as to call the Ukraine based Nazi
collaborators of World War Two ‘patriots’.
With wall to wall coverage of the far right Nigel
Farage and his weird bunch also being bombarded at us, we have to ask in what
way we are ever going to get the remotest of fair coverage from BBC, Channel 4
and all the capitalist media in Britain with their obvious pro fascist
leanings.
