While famines may have their onset in climate (or WEATHER), they are inevitably exacerbated and exploited by POLITICS, as History has shown us time and time again. Ukraine, Biafra, and Eritrea are prime historic examples.
Thanks for posting. True about Walter Duranty. He’s long gone but of course, they’re still doing it.
Ping to one of your favorite historical eras. Artificial famine in Ukraine via Stalin.
( Not to mention the Brits did the same to Ireland in the 19th Century.)
A real hero and genuine reporter was Gareth Richard Vaughan Jones. He reported the truth about Ukraine. Later on while in Mongolia he was murdered. Three movies so far have been made about him.
I know of a woman who knew that Stalin has those millions starved to death. She worshipped communism and considered the mass murder to be a triumph for Land Reform. She was from the University of Chicago School of Sociology. Born in 1915, she was a social worker. Land Reform. She died in 1979. Today, there are many just like her. Communism and slavery of the farmers are just simply called collective farms. Collective farms. A completely harmless and wonderful concept. No big deal. Just like Boy Scouts summer camp. Socialist wanting a coercive utopia will murder millions to achieve slavery. And they will be gleefully happy as they go about the genocide.
But socialism hasn’t been tried, or so nitwits say.
Thanks for posting this.
My Great-Grandparents were murder by Stalin.
My Grandfather said when the Bolsheviks came on to their farm to take everything they had, their cry was “For the People”.
Sound familiar? HR1 is the For the People act and Harris’s campaign slogan
Duranty was not alone for this fraud. Check out the Kliefoth Memo. The NYT had an agreement with Stalin to report only what Stalin OKed. Famine has bee used repeatedly by “progressives.” The famine in postwar Europe was created by Harry Dexter White (a Soviet agent) and Henry Morgenthau.
Thanks for posting this.
I read somewhere about a man visiting Ukraine during the famine, being driven in a car in the middle of winter. He asked the driver why logs littered the road, some directly on the road, some on the sides of the road, littering the ground. The driver told him those weren’t logs, they were dead people.
