tion is sacking all financial resources away from the family! And because her parents are persecuted and deprived. That text was prepared by Lushin Valery Stepanovich From Lev GUNIN Lev GUNIN 3455 rue Aylmer, app. 201 Montreal, QUEBEC H2X 2B5 Tel. (514) 499-1294 [leog@total.net] more details: http://www.interlog.com/~syedma/dstand/leo201127.html Dear Sir, Lady! We need an urgent help regarding incredible violations of our human rights. Please, inform us - if you can, - 1) what we can do, 2) where to turn, 3) what tools we could use to fight this outrage injustice. Please, help! The most dangerous and alarming is the manipulation of the medical data and medical personnel by Immigration. You'll find a short description of our tremendously huge (long) story here below. I am a human-rights activist, journalist and historian with numerous publications. My views and humanitarian activities made me a target for persecutions in ex-USSR and - later (after deportation) - in another country, where I was taken together with my family against our will. Our refugee claim was refused under exceptional circumstances and with a totally partial attitude. Decisions in our case were unfair, inhuman and unjust. While hearing and proceeding our refugee claim Immigration officials have used illegal methods, abuse of justice and human rights. On top of undeniable persecutions, an obvious fact that we had no place where to go and tons of our documentary proof justice was denied to us in many outraged ways. We have appealed the decision, but the IRB's (Immigration's) defender has emphasized security and other unconventional questions, and the Federal court closed our case. During our refugee hearings the IRB's judge, Mr. Boiron said that we could face the same persecutions, which we had before, in Canada as well. It was a threat. Now we are more then 6 years in a limbo, administrative mayhem and ultra-vulnerable state. That is damaging our mental and physical health, social and professional status, and chances to regain our professional domain and return to normal life. However, in spite of human rights deniers in IRB and other departments, pro-Israeli lobby (with their people in Immigration), which goal is to keep refugee claimants from Israel out of Canada, we received a positive decision. We highly appreciate that in spite of everything we were granted the landed immigrant status in response to our humanitarian appeal 1 (one) year ago. In the same time some opponents of this decision did not ceased their pressure. They did not want to allow us to receive the landed immigrant's papers. In attempts to put us down they started to destroy me, my family, ours lives before we could receive the status in Canada. Each routine immigration procedure - extension of the employment or student authorization, etc. - turned into a mockery and humiliation. We must fight for every small thing, which has to be proceeded automatically! Especially after we were given the Certificat de selectione du Quebec: more then eight (8) months ago. Unnecessary expensive medical exams (Immigration has pretended that lost our medical data) and other innumerous humiliations made our life unbearable. They combined my mother's - and mine cases in Immigration's computer, when in reality my mother's case has nothing to do with our case. (She's a sponsored spouse of a Canadian citizen - since November 1998, - and we were accepted by the humanitarian appeal). Immigration officer Madam Helene ROY illegally intervened in the medical issues to torpid my mother's case, and on her request Mrs. W. BRZEZINSKA (M.D.) made a false report before my mother's medical evaluation for Immigration took place. Madame ROY refused to recognize my mother's marriage "because of the medical concerns" the next day suddenly replacing this negative decision by another one. When I called Immigration about my case, I was told three times that our case is frozen because of my mother's situation. Immigration was concerned about a possibility of eventual diseases, which my mother could develop. Theoretically every person, even the most healthy, could develop any terminal disease - and will develop: because everybody dies. Immigration's demands on ground of a "potential danger of developing a terminal disease" are ridiculous and became a ground of discrimination, partiality and abuse. A number of facts revealed that one of their goals was to put my mother under a stress damaging her health as much as possible. They contacted the medical lab where my mother did a x-ray before she went there. Later confusion about that x-ray took place. In January 2000 Immigration's medical committee ordered my mother to do additional tests: strum creatinine (blood test) and echocardiogram. The "strum creatinine" test (testing the kidney function) was already done before and was in norm. Cardio function was already tested - there were no concerns. There were no reasons for additional tests. The strum creatinine test was normal again. The echocardiogram only reflected nothing but some anatomical abnormalities, known before. The doctor who did the test told me that the abnormalities have anatomical, not pathological, nature. However, instead of proceeding my mother's documents Immigration submitted her (June 28, 2000) another illogical demand: to send them a "resume" of her "last visit to cardiologist". She never has visited a cardiologist and had nothing to send them! She went to Mr. Giannakis M.D. who was her physician for Immigration. He sent her to Dr. Gordon Creenstein, a known authority in cardiology, who examined her and told her the same: augmentation has the anatomical nature, it is not pathology. He submitted his rapport on 27 July 2000. Any impartial observer can see that both kidney and heart "chapters" in that story were closed now. However, it was not enough for Immigration. On September 2000 Immigration's medical department made another ruling. They ordered my mom to have another urine test and then visit an urologist. She did the test immediately - and the visit to urologist was scheduled for November. Even this did not satisfied Immigration! On September 19 my mother received a letter from another Immigration officer, which demanded from her a statement how she obeyed the last Immigration's order, and accused her of postponing and sabotaging the procedure. It was signed by L. Cawchesne. Meanwhile Dr. Giannakis called Immigration and told that there was no reason for demanding a visit to an urologist: because there was nothing abnormal in her urine test. They had no choice but to agree with him. He cancelled the appointment to urologist because Immigration's medical division has finished working with her file - and informed the immigration officer that they have no medical concerns about her any more. However, Immigration still did not make any decision, refusing to close my mother's file and submit her the papers. Now they have no reasons at all, no excuses or explanations. One of my mother's immigration counselors was refused a clear answer, another was refused a conversation. From my sources I know that her file is given to Rene Jacque. There is no decision, no ruling. And my mother is in the limbo again. And I am told that my case is frozen because of my mother's situation... Another Immigration's excuse of tormenting us was the question of my wife's, and my police clearings. Because I am trying to keep that letter in a reasonable length I'll skip the details, which I could provide later. I never got a clear answer if the police certificates for us were received at Immigration - and attached to our file. Immigration's officials stopped to sign their official letters to us or give their names. There is no proper Immigration's logo, any special paper, anything to tell that this is not a fraud or joke... When Immigration calls us there is a "private call" indication! When I ask an anonymous person to identify him/her, or tell me who is responsible for my file, I am always refused! If sometimes they sign their letters, they sign them by names like Jeanne D'Arc, Honore de Balzak... They refuse to mention their position or rank. There is no "immigration officer" indication or anything else. Just Jeanne D'Arc! On October 26 by letter Immigration ordered my daughter Marta and me to undergo the medical examinations. Six (6!) months ago I demanded in writing to allow me and my family members pass the medical examinations by initiating an appropriate decision with a proper letter and forms (Med1A.doc) submission - and was denied it. By then Immigration argued that only my wife must undergo medical examinations, and submitted a medical form (February 2000) for my wife only, omitting my daughters and me. Now again: they did not send us the form for my older daughter's medical exams. This is obviously another tool for sabotaging our case in the future. Knowing what my mother experienced with her "medical clearings" we could suggest that for us it would not be easy, too. By then my wife's medical exams will expire, and she'll have to do them again! Then Immigration could tell that now my older daughter, Ina, must undergo the medical exams. Theoretically, they can sabotage our case for eternity refusing us the landed immigrants' papers forever; in the same time making our life vulnerable, unbearable and miserable. My daughter and me - we went through the medical examination on October 31 2000. Doctor Giannakis told us that he found nothing to be concerned about. Next day after 5 p.m. I received an anonymous call - as I was told - from Immigration. A man told me that I might be punished for misconduct for not doing ordered by Immigration x-ray test and refusing the medical treatment. On November the 1-st, I did a x-ray test at the Montreal Chest Institute. I was told that everything is in norm and there is nothing to worry about. On November 2-nd 2000 - I received an anonymous ("private call" indication) telephone call from the Israeli consulate that our police clearings came. Why then Immigration told us that they were received on October 17. On November 6 2000, an anonymous (no names, telephones, signatures) letter from Montreal Chest Institute arrived. Addressing to me the letter said that my chest x-ray shows signs of a tuberculosis infection. "The Canadian Department of Immigration - the letter also said - has notified the Infectious Disease Unit..." - etc. It demanded to be prepared paying up to five hundreds dollars - and sign special legal document: a constat for infected by infectious disease non-residents of Canada. On November 9/then 15 I have submitted a letter in protest to the Montreal Chest Institute. The main points of my letter were: 1) I will disregard this and other anonymous letters. 2) The procedural requirements were violated - because Immigration should submit it to me (my physician) but not to the hospital. 3) Violating them Immigration deprived me of my constitutional right to choose an institution where to do additional tests if required. 4) Because the hospital on behalf of Immigration ordered me to sign a constat and appear in Infectious Disease Unit I was wrongly treated as a TB carrier. They had no legal rights to treat me as a contagious carrier until an undeniable medical proof is established. 5) Medical ethics should not allow anybody to treat me that way before making conclusions based not on Immigration's rapport. 6) A single x-ray could not determine whether or not any shadow (if any) means tuberculosis, or simply any kind of pneumonia, bronchitis, or a combination (see medical books). Any conclusions based on only one x-ray are ridiculous, partial, and prejudicial. 7) On November 14 I did another x-ray. It revealed that there were no any suspicious shadow, no abnormalities - and (as my medical advisers told) could not be 2 weeks before, especially tuberculosis-like shadows. 8) By sending me to the Infectious Disease Unit they might expose me to contacts with real infected carriers. 9) Merely another x-ray should be initiated before doing anything else. 10) I gave a number of reasons why I could not be infected by TB and made a suggestion that a) my x-ray photo was replaced by somebody else or b) Immigration's insinuations did not match the photo. On November 17 CDL MED LAB submitted me a receipt by fax pretending that I must pay for a blood test for syphilis, which they pretended I could do on October 31 2000 only at their site. However, I never did that test and even never was at CDL MED. On November 20 I received an (anonymous) call from Immigration and was accused of conceiving the fact that I was infected by aids when entered Canada! In response I have submitted a request by fax to the Reddy Memorial Hospital archive and telephoned there many times to receive copies of my blood and x-ray tests but there is still no answer. On November 28, 2000 Immigration ruled that there is a doubt that the x-ray from November 14 is mine. However, they received an original document from Clark LAB and had no legal rights to doubt it! They also pretended that not me but another person did this x-ray instead of me. However, the x-ray was covered by my medical card, which has my photo on it! Besides, Immigration is not a criminal court and has no power to make criminal verdicts. They are in a pure rage! They demanded the original of the x-ray made in Clark LAB (meanwhile, it is possible that Immigration informed MCI that the x-ray from November 1 was lost!). Further they insist that I must be referred to the chest specialist anyway! Rights of our children are severely violated. This is the seventh year they live in Canada without the status of residents. Their very basic, essential rights, and everyday life are affected! If what my advisors told me is true, this situation also violates international standards and Canadian laws: because children should not be deprived the landed immigrants status after 5 years and should not be left completely without any citizenship/residency papers. (Our children have no passports or even travel documents of any state). Ungrounded and illegal bureaucratic policy to keep us further in a limbo, in the frames of social, financial, professional, and legal devastation and deprivation is inadmissible. The everyday fear of deportation has already destroyed us. Because of that and many other situational, administrative, psychological, and etc. troubles and inconveniences, and intensive Immigration's pressure, we are destroyed, our lives are already ruined! Please, HELP!!! Demands in family GUNINS case: 1. We need a clear answer in writing if Immigration received our police clearings. And if not - a) why; b) what must be done now. 2. If the medical exams were affirmatively required for all family members - why Immigration did not initiated them for all family members six months ago? We also need an assurance in writing that Ina will not be required to do medical examination. 3. We would like any other artificial delays in our case proceeding to be stopped. We also have right to know who is in charge of our file! 4. If we will not be given the status of landed immigrants immediately, Immigration officials will completely destroy us. 5. A criminal investigation must be initiated on the manipulation of the medical data. Demands in Elisabetha GUNIN (Epstein) case: There is only one demand: she must be given her landed immigrant papers immediately and unconditionally.

Montreal, QUEBEC - DOCUMENT NUMBER FOUR-A - From Lev GUNIN Full immigration story: http://www.total.net/~leog/Righs/LevGunin/indexX.htm former refugee claimant (address, tel. 514-49-1294, leog@total,net) December 6 2000 Dear Sir or Lady! The most unpleasant thing is that in a country where there no concentration camps and common tortures nobody believes you. Nobody believes that what happens to you - happens. That's why it's even harder to stand our troubles. 1. Let me mention briefly the source of our problems: I was a human-rights activist, former Soviet dissident (which led to deportation from my native Belarus to Poland). From there my family and I were taken against our will to Israel. In Canada we filed a refugee claim. Since 1994 we do not have normal life. We have problems. Usage (against us) of contrived medical data to manipulate and prolong our vulnerable situation is one of them. Theoretically falsification and manipulation of medical data can lead to a forcible treatment from diseases, which we do not have (it could be lethal). 2. Now we are more then 6 years in a limbo, administrative mayhem and ultra-vulnerable state. However, in spite of human rights deniers in IRB and other departments, pro-Israeli lobby (with their people in Immigration), personal contribution of Immigration officer Mrs. Udith Malka in damaging our situation, we received a positive decision. (In response to our humanitarian appeal 1+ (one+) year ago). Since then opponents to this decision made many attempts to reverse it and make our life unbearable. We are still without any status, facing excessive hardship. (a). Even at routine immigration procedures we are a target of mockery, stalling tactics and humiliation (see Document 8). (b). Unnecessary personal expensive medical exams and blatant manipulation of medical data (Doc. 1-23), delays in issuing and short terms of validity of employment and student authorizations, punitive and threatening anonymous calls and letters (Doc. 1-6, specifically - 16). Excessive "totalitarian" secrecy and anonymity when Immigration is dealing with us (Doc. 10a, 13a, 1, 14, 15, etc.) (c). After two (2) years we have no clear answer about our police certificate clearance in spite of confirmation from the Israeli Consulate. (d). More than half a year ago IMS officials refused us ruling and forms for medical examination for all family members assuring us that only my wife must do them. Now in contradiction they ordered them for my younger daughter and me (omitting my older daughter). When the last medical exams must finish, the validity of my wife's exams will expire (Doc. 2, 19, 20). Also my mother's file was illegally attached to ours to put us in dependence of her situation (Doc. 1, 4, 6). (e). My mother's case. 1994: W. Brzezinska, M.D. for Immigration, makes an insincere report (Doc. 7a, 4b, 7b) about my mother's health (eventual (!) development of cardiac and kidney insufficiency). (My mother told her that she was born with heart augmentation). Nov. 1999: an immigration officer (M-me Roy), not a M.D. illegally intervenes in evaluation of the medical matters, makes a decision based on it (Doc. 7a,7b). However, she quickly replaces that decision - recognizing my mother's marriage. In violation of the marriage interview stage requirements IMS release a negative decision before med. exams (Doc. 7a). 2000: an entire year of mockery, ungrounded orders for innumerable additional tests and exams, punitive threatening letters and calls. Goals: a) to damage my mother's heath, b) clear dr. Brzezinska and M-me Roy (Doc. 14 -17). For two months after her "medical saga" Immigration was refusing to give any answer/explanation. Now (Dec.) IMS made a final negative ruling, based on Mrs. Bezezinska's insinuation in spite of new contradicting to it results and medical opinions (anatomy, not pathology). (Also dr. Brzezinska never in 5 years sent my mother for cardiac or kidney tests, or to cardiologist/urologist, and never prescribed her any medication for heart/kidney problems). It is outraged that the whole year IMS was evaluating not actual but eventual health problems - and confirmed initial inhuman decision! (Doc. 25). If the horrible diagnosis (Doc. 25a), with which they crucified my mother, were correct, how could she live a normal life all 6 years without medications and cardiologist? If my mother's heath declined after one year of humiliations - Immigration officials must be fully responsible for that. This is what they did it to punish me! Actions to influence or even administratively invade medical institutions and personnel for extorting false medical reports, creation of false medical documents were committed in both my mother's and my cases. Tricks with my x-ray, delivery of receipts or calls for tests I've never done, other manipulations are threat to my own heath or even life! (Doc. 1-7, 9-25). Our children are tremendously suffering from that situation as well as from artificial delays in extension of their student authorizations and other essential papers. My wife and my mother became suicidal, nervous and suffering from depression. I never received any answer to my letter to the Minister of Immigration (Nov. 1-6 2000) and to Immigration Complain Board (Nov. 30). 4. In spite of persecutions we have contributed to Canadian society as much as we could. We had no conflicts in civil life. We worked. We have accommodated in spite of artificial obstacles - thanks to ordinary Canadians. Even in Federal Immigration some people tried to compensate the damage, done to us by others. I have participated in tenth of musical festivals and events. My wife is a hard worker. Our children are recognized talented musician and ballerina (JEWISH EXTREMISTS' GLOBAL CENSORSHIP Jewish organization like Anti-Defamation Ligue, Bnei Brith, so-called Institute Against Terrorism, Jewish Congress and others are censoring any material about Israel, Judaism, Holocaust, Jewish criminal activity, human rights violations by Israel and Diaspora Jewish groups, etc. It not only violates basic principles of democracy and free speech, but also gives the world Jewish extremists the total control over media and - indirectly - governments of independent countries like USA, Canada, and others. Through an excuse of fighting anti-Semitism Jewish extremists actually controlling vide range of topics, practically any one, not only historical or political, but also cultural, religious, and any other. In many ways they for example suppressed and forbidden Christianity. There are no Christian signs, symbolic, ads, announcements, placards etc. in Canadian cities any more. In the same time there are lots of open Judaism propaganda and missionary placards, signs, ads, etc. By forcing Immigration of the variety of countries to prevent people, whose ideas they don't tolerate, from traveling, or to persecute dissidents, Jewish extremists are executing functions of sovereign governments. In Canada they completely seized the control over Immigration Canada, which became a Jewish institution, and this institution is getting more and more power, replacing the government. In reality they control many of the governmental institutions. Little by little we became citizens of a new totalitarian colonial Jewish Empire, which is constantly expanding and already includes Canada, US, and a number of European countries. Like any totalitarian colonial power Jewish Extremism is using (against dissidents) legal or conspiratory persecutions, lawsuits, administrative pressure, batteries, imprisonment, devastation of their victims' social, professional, or economic status. Jewish persecutors act very much as the "KGB of the modern western world". (MORE). 2. HOLOCAUST DENIERS PERSECUTION: WHO's AMORAL? The whole military, political, police, intelligence and public machine of the State of Israel and the powerful Jewish lobbies is used not only against people who deny Jewish genocide of 1930-s-40-s, but against those who would like to discuss the correctness of numbers, facts, or attitude towards the history. Amorality of the Jewish "morality defenders" is first of all their conflict of interests. For the Jewish extremists Holocaust became a busyness, a carnage of vicious vultures on top of millions of dead. They are making a fantastic income on the bones of Auschwiz or Maidanek victims. Jewish writer and human rights activist Gregory SVIRSKY called this carnage the most amoral thing in Jewish history. The next amoral thing is that not the victims of Holocaust and their descendants are benefiting from the fantastic compensation provided by the Western world to the global Jewish community, but mostly Israeli government and the extremist Jewish organizations. There are thousands of financial violations in the process of transferring the contributed money from the Israeli government and "committees" to ordinary people. Here is just a small example. Elisabetha EPSTEIN (Montreal) was issued the German compensation as a person who flied from the German occupation zone. This compensation was frozen by the Israeli authorities because she was the mother of a dissident and a refugee claimant from Israel in Canada. Money, which she had to receive, was consumed by the Israeli government! The State of Israel has no moral rights to be a representative of the former genocide (Holocaust) victims also because the Israeli regime itself is guilty in Palestinian and Russian genocide (see MORE). Israel as a successor of the Jewish North American and Zionist Jewish politicians of the 1930-s must pay a huge contribution to the victims of Holocaust and their descendants because shares responsibility for the genocide of European Jews. Since the 30-s there was a tendency to wish elimination of European Ashkenazi Jews. North American Jews, Zionists and some Sephardic leaders treated European Jews as degraded and wanted them out of the picture. Zionist leaders did not hide their sympathy to the Nazis because they both ideologically were national socialists. Contacts between Palestinian Jewish "Ishuv" leaders - and the top nazi leaders, and between Zionist - and German leadership in 1930-s-40-s is a well-known historical fact. Actually, Zionists were fought on the German side, against Britain. Notes of loyalty of the Ishuv to German Nazis were also well known. By racism, hatred between different ethnical and sub ethnical groups, fascist ideology and nazi laws Israel is a sole political successor of the Nazi Germany. Zionist leaders did not care to hide their joy about the elimination of the "assimilated" European Jews and the conviction that the Zionist homeland must be rebuild, based on the Catastrophe of European Jews. Israeli orthodox religious leaders pointed many times that European Jews were "punished" by genocide "because of assimilation". Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" was translated to Hebrew and became the most popular among "sabras" (Israel-born natives) youths book. Watching movies like the "List of Schindler", young Israeli neo-nazis are applauding the fascist murderers because they adore Nazis for their "strong will" and "no sentiments". (see MORE). 3.JEWISH "HOLY WAR" AGAINST CHRISTIAN AND EUROPEAN CULTURE The State of Israel has innumerous anti-Christian, anti-European, anti-Western and anti-capitalist laws and practices. A permanent anti-Christian propaganda presents on all levels of political and everyday life in Israel, and became a part of education, ideology, rules and even laws in Israel. New anti missionary (anti-Christian) legislation goes even further, threatening to punish people for possession of a Christian Bible, a picture of a church, a Christmas Tree or a tape of Christian religious music. Classical pieces with a Christian background like passions or messes were almost completely washed out of the repertoire of the Israeli symphonic orchestras. Composers like R. Wagner or R. Schtraus were actually forbidden in Israel because of the ideological reasons. Christians are severely persecuted in Israel, by the state as well as by the crowd - and have no real police protection. Classical music, European literature, any aspect of European culture became hardly accessible in Israel. The Israeli government initiated a grotesque and barbaric project to destroy all European architecture on Israel's territory. They destroyed and continue destroying old cities of Tel Aviv, Haifa, and other urban centers, where European architectural styles like Bauhaus, Ugendstill, neo-gothic, etc. were dominated or at least highly presented. There are legislation to forbid Christians and "assimilated" ("Russians") to reside in Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities. Israeli solders were entering Armenian, Arab, and other churches - and used to open fire "to kill Christians". Israeli government is stalking Muslim and Christian communities by giving licenses to build new mosques beside the churches. Israeli official ideology prefers tolerance towards Islam, but not Christianity. Israel is ruled by so-called Jewish religious laws, a kind of an "iron curtain", which stops any information about the outside world, European culture, Christian traditions, values and historical background. Israeli political and religious circles are encouraging the puppet Palestinian authority to persecute Christians, close Christian churches and make access for holy Christian objects in Palestine difficult for Christian pilgrims. Christians are victims of various assaults in Israel. Israeli propaganda associates Christians with guilt, crimes, and evil. Ideology highly controls all sides of the social life in Israel, allowing "public watchdogs" monitoring what people eat, what they buy, what they read or cook. In Israel you can not open a restaurant, a store or another busyness without the meeting the requirement of the Jewish religion, what means that Christians are discriminated in theirs basic rights. Jewish Extremists are hypocrites when they talk about anti-Semitism because they know very well that Christians and other minorities are discriminated and persecuted in Israel. (see MORE) 4. SMALL RUSSIAN "HOLOCAUST" IN MODERN ISRAEL Since 1960-s Israeli propaganda machine, Israeli embassy in Moscow, Sochnut and intelligent services began to provoke Soviet citizens to immigrate to Israel. Most of the Russian-speaking people were persecuted and discriminated in Israel even by then. However, close to 1990-s this tendency has developed in a real "small genocide". In the 1980-s - 1990-s almost 700 thousands people from USSR (and - later - post USSR) were smartly pushed to Israel by deception, provocation, sometimes by force. Israelis had plans to turn most of them into servants and slaves to replace Arabs, who became too dangerous for "sabras" and "vatikim". "Russians" were deprived of any social or translation assistance. Sochnut and the Ministry of Absorption (Immigration) only pretended to provide some assistance, in reality not giving any. "Russian" puppet organizations like Sharansky's Zionist Forum, etc. were founded by the Israeli government and provided no real help either. New "Russian" immigrants were left one on one with the housing agents (mediators) or landlords, employers, etc. Most of them became victims of indescribable frauds and cheating. "Russian" immigrants were deprived of real welfare or financial assistance. They were forced to pay $500 - 600 a months for 2-3 - room neglected, non renovated apartments, and deprived of the social houses. When hundreds of thousands of the government-subsidized fresh-constructed apartments stood empty, thousands of "Russian" families found themselves on the verge of evictions or homeless in the streets. Under International, Jewish Diaspora's and internal criticism the Israeli government in a stubborn intention not to give "Russians" social houses started to import astronomically expensive one-room caravans, which price was higher then a construction of a conventional apartment. Caravan villages, intentionally placed in wilderness, far from cities, with no schools, cultural facilities or clubs, surrounded by barbed wires like prisons, intentionally populated not only by "Russians" but also by Hebrew speaking criminals, declassed social elements, drug-users, alcoholics, and by new arrivals from underdeveloped African countries, became artificially-created first "Russian" ghettoes. At summer caravans inhabitants suffered from unbearable heat, at winter - from cold. Each caravan was an overcrowded, miserable tiny place, never designed as a habitation. Caravan villages were dirty, devastated cloaks, where generations of undereducated, non cultural, futureless "Russian" kids were raised. Arik SHARON, by then - Minister of Construction, - was mostly responsible for that. Israeli media and state propaganda was rousing hatred towards Russian speaking people by portraying them as enemies, alcoholics, undeveloped, wild people. Crimes against "Russians" like assaults, batteries, insults, rapes, fraud, racism, discrimination, expropriation of property or vandalism against property, lawfulness illegal evictions, and many others, were never stopped or prosecuted. "Russians" had no police protection. "Russian" children were discriminated, abused, beaten, killed at schools or even pre-schools, tens of thousands of "Russian" women have been raped, "Russian" workers were not paid at all or paid less then the minimum wage, abused, beaten, and injured at work. Two sections of Israeli law - "Kablanut" and "Kviyut" codes - enabled to turn many "Russians" into temporary or permanent slaves. What we see today as assaults on Arabs was in 1990-s "rehearsed" on "Russians". Because there were no labor norms of exploiting "kablan"-hired unprotected "Russians", thousands and thousands were injured, killed, or became handicapped at work. Assaults on "Russians" and rapes of Russian speaking women became a kind of a sport for Hebrew speaking neighbors, employers, or supervisors, and the policemen. No killer or rapist was never prosecuted! The main excuse for crimes against the Russian speaking people in Israel was that Russians are hidden Christians. "Russians" were forced to leave biggest Israeli cities, new legislation to restrict them from residing in Haifa, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv. They were moved to "developing" cities with no work and law life standards like Afula, Ashdod, Kiriat-Gat, Dimona, Beer-Sheva, etc. There artificial secondary (after caravans) "Russian" ghettos were created, where new generations of "Russians" are raised in poverty, discrimination, futureless and forced to the criminal sphere of life. Hundreds of thousands of "Russians" fled Israel. Israeli government and the local Jewish organizations like Bnei Brith are responsible for persecuting these people in Canada, USA, and Europe, influencing or invading immigration institutions in many countries to force them back to Israel.

PROVOKING ANTISEMITISM Let's imagine that lobbies of nation X around the world made any discussions about X-ish genocide forbidden, and this is when the leaders of X-s continue benefiting from enormous compensation almost a century after the genocide. Using historically inevitable from time to time unfriendly tendencies towards just any minority as an excuse, nation's X leaders are using excessive force against any manifestation of such unfriendly attitude or even what they wrongly interpreting as "unfriendly". Consequently denouncing bloody crimes against humanity of the regime of the State of X and local X-s councils (organizations) in Diaspora is called "xenophobia". Anybody, who raised deep questions about the human rights situation in the State of X and within local X-s communities, is severely persecuted. Naturally, such a policy would provoke spontaneous anti-X-ers feelings, and the denial of X-ish genocide as the most natural automatic reaction. In the same way simple as not very simple people will always test extremes of the "Jewish power"; and "Jewish conspiracy" by denying Holocaust and watching an expected Jewish excessive force in return. Blocking any civilized discussion about any topic directly or indirectly involving Jews (on historical, philosophical, ethical, religious level), Jewish extremists will face more and more dangerous for innocent ordinary Jews response on the primitive level. Jewish extremist organizations and the government of Israel do not care about safety and wealth of ordinary Jews. They represent a mighty totalitarian power, which exist in no one interests. Only a small group of bastards benefits from this power. This power became a modern inquisition, one of the modern Evils. However, only one of Them. Communist regimes, eastern dictatorships, Indian-type "democracies" (Israel is just one of them), anti-European regimes like Pakistan, Afganistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, etc. - they are the same. We (people who consider themselves as Europeans, no matter what skin color or face they have) must understand who are enemies and who are friends of Europe. We have already our culture half destroyed, our leaders corrupted by the Eastern powers, our countries in Northern hemisphere (plus Australia) have been already transformed into a "transitional" (remember: Eastern block, Western block?) between capitalism (democracy) - and Eastern-type tyranny-slavery. Since 1980-s, by eliminating civil freedoms and privacy, Western governments slowly but inevitably transforming their countries into societies of the eastern type. Jewish extremism is an important player in this process of blowing up the European civilization from within. Jewish extremists are traditionally anti-democratic reactionaries, who's goals are to destroy democracy and progressive thinking everywhere. Their doctrine is to take just any rights from the people, turn majority into slaves, and eliminate basic human rights and freedoms. Their main allay is not USA or Canada - as most of us are thinking - but UK. How comes that Israel, a country, where Christians are persecute, beaten and humiliated, became the most important "friend" of the Christian world? How comes that the most brutal regimes in the world - like India, Israel, Pakistan, or Kazakstan, were called democracies? Why and by whom Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, South Korea, Kazahstan, Israel and other countries with hatred to European culture and anti-European propaganda were considered as allays - and Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, or Serbia - not? Tyranny, starvation, exploitation of children, numbers of repressed people, scale of poverty and homelessness in Iraq, Iran, and some other anti-democracies are several times lower then in "great democracies" like India or Israel, where wide number of people are treated like cattle.

Instead of supporting nations, which are historically, traditionally, culturally closer to Europeans, our rulers, corrupted or threatened by the Eastern regimes like Israel, are supporting our most furious enemies. Support, which is given to the Jewish Extremists by the governments of the Western world, is not popular. People are not supporting it. Sooner or later this situation will resolve in pogroms and insults against the ordinary Jews. We all must be awaken before it not too late... MORE (1) CONTENT 1.

Nazi Propaganda Film Collective Guilt Paralysis of the Comparative Function 60 Minutes' Cheap Shots Ukrainian Anti-Semitism Jewish Ukrainophobia Mailbag A Sense of Responsibility What 60 Minutes Should Do PostScript Preface On 23 Oct 1994, CBS television broadcast a twelve-minute segment on its weekly investigative-journalism show 60 Minutes titled The Ugly Face of Freedom, produced by Jeffrey Fager and hosted by Morley Safer. The program's goal was to indict Ukrainian society and history and to discredit the legitimacy of the Ukrainian State. The program's method was to pack the broadcast with what may be the most concentrated segment of disinformation, calumny, and hatred ever to make its appearance in the mainstream media. The program had been ready for over half a year, but was not broadcast until the first official visit to the United States of Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma. Whether this timing was by coincidence or design became the subject of comment among some program viewers. From the beginning of the affair, it could not escape notice that this broadcast was not only an attack upon Ukrainians and upon the nation of Ukraine, but that it was a Jewish attack, this because every last person bearing responsibility for the broadcast, from the very top of the chain of command to the very bottom, was Jewish: Laurence Tisch, Chairman and CEO of CBS Eric Ober, President of CBS News Don Hewitt, Executive Producer of 60 Minutes Jeffrey Fager, Producer of The Ugly Face of Freedom Morley Safer, Program Host Simon Wiesenthal, one of the two featured program witnesses Yaakov Bleich, the other of the two featured program witnesses That attacks upon Ukraine come overwhelmingly from Jews has been amply documented on the Ukrainian Archive (UKAR), as for example in the discussion of Jerzy Kosinski, where it is noted that ten out of ten of the leading calumniators of Ukraine are Jews. Possible reasons for this phenomenon have been discussed throughout UKAR, with three of the chief reasons being: (1) the acceleration of the brain drain from Ukraine to Israel with the help of a partly-magnified and partly-incited resentment against Jews, (2) the heightening of Jewish cohesion through the inculcation of fear and hatred of Gentiles, as by the Jewish keeping alive of a distorted memory of the Khmelnytsky rebellion of 1648, and (3) the need to discredit the historical observation that Jews typically victimize Ukrainians by inculcating the opposite image of Ukrainians victimizing Jews. On 15 Nov 1994, I mailed a letter to then CBS Chairman Laurence A. Tisch which consisted of a lengthy critique of the 60 Minutes broadcast. I simultaneously mailed copies of this letter to the host of the broadcast, Morley Safer, as well as the co-hosts Ed Bradley, Steve Kroft, Lesley Stahl, and Mike Wallace. I received no reply from any of them. On 17 Dec 1994, I mailed a covering letter to Laurence Tisch together with an expanded version of my critique (the critique was now titled The Ugly Face of 60 Minutes, and was dated 11 Dec 1994), with copies to the same host and co-hosts. I again received no reply. In an attempt to clarify the accuracy of the 60 Minutes broadcast, other letters were sent, among them letters to Michael Jordan, Chairman of Westinghouse, following the Westinghouse purchase of CBS in 1995, letters to Simon Wiesenthal, star witness on The Ugly Face of Freedom, and letters to Rabbi Yaakov Bleich, supporting witness on the same program. Nor were my letters the only ones sent - in fact, CBS received some 16,000 pieces of mail protesting the 60 Minutes broadcast. To my knowledge, not a single one of these letters has ever been answered, or even acknowledged, the muteness of CBS and others involved leaving the impression that they are unable to muster any defense for the 60 Minutes broadcast. At that time, and since, I have circulated copies of my critique widely, and have received many favorable comments. In a small number of instances, I was grateful for helpful suggestions as to minor revisions; however, no one challenged any of my major criticisms or arguments, encouraging me to believe that these were fundamentally correct. Below you will find the latest version of this same critique, substantially longer and more detailed than the original, but basically offering no more than an elaboration of the material already long in the hands of CBS. I will not again waste postage mailing this critique to CBS - with the advent of the internet, there are less costly ways to disseminate information; if CBS wants to see this latest version, it will have no trouble finding it. The defects of the 60 Minutes broadcast as so multifarious, that it is difficult to capture them in one brief statement. If one were to attempt to do so, then the statement might mention that 60 Minutes misrepresented the historical record, provided mistranslations of statements originally made in Ukrainian, suppressed pertinent information concerning Ukrainian-Jewish relations during World War II, encouraged retrogressive notions of collective guilt, altered the dates on which events were supposed to have occurred, doctored the sound track, accepted dubious and implausible statements from sources whose credibility had not been established or whose credibility should have been suspect, and generally in numerous instances employed questionable evidence to point to conclusions that were untrue, provocative, and inflammatory. There follows below an outline of the chief defects of this 60 Minutes broadcast. CONTENTS: Preface The Galicia Division Quality of Translation Ukrainian Homogeneity Were Ukrainians Nazis? Simon Wiesenthal What Happened in Lviv? Nazi Propaganda Film Collective Guilt Paralysis of the Comparative Function 60 Minutes' Cheap Shots Ukrainian Anti-Semitism Jewish Ukrainophobia Mailbag A Sense of Responsibility What 60 Minutes Should Do PostScript The Galicia Division 60 Minutes' chief piece of evidence for Ukrainian anti-Semitism and predilection for Naziism seems to be the official celebrations commemorating the Galicia Division. Elderly men in civilian dress are shown wearing military insignia in a recent reunion in the city of Lviv, Ukraine (Lvov in Russian, Lwow in Polish, formerly Lemberg). Mr. Safer informs us that "Thousands of Ukrainians joined the SS and marched off to fight for Naziism," and that "Nowhere, not even in Germany, are the SS so openly celebrated," and that "Many of the Ukrainian men of Lvov who marched off as members of the SS never returned - killed fighting for Hitler." The impression created in the viewer's mind is that these veterans are unanimously guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, that they were once supporters of and now continue to be admirers of Hitler, that they sympathized with Nazi ambitions during World War II, that they are the remnants of a much larger group of Ukrainians who shared a similar orientation, and that as their reunion was sanctioned by the Lviv City Council and the Ukrainian Catholic Church, similar charges must apply to Ukrainians generally. To all this, however, I must echo Cardinal Lubachivsky's words: "It is not true!" The Galicia Division was recruited by the Germans only well into the war, in the summer and fall of 1943 when they were beginning to experience setbacks on their Eastern front. That the Galicia Division was considered an "SS" division does not bear the significance given it by 60 Minutes - it was a Waffen SS division, which is quite a different thing: "Like other German volunteer units, the Division Halychyna [Galicia] was included in the 14th Grenadier Division of the SS-Waffen." (Ukraine: A Concise Encyclopaedia, Volume 2, p. 1088.) Five qualities of the Galicia Division make it a most atypical component of the stereotype of the SS: (1) it was strictly a combat unit and so played no role in the management of concentration camps or death camps, (2) its Ukrainian members wore a lion rampant instead of an "SS" on their right collars during most of the life of the division, (3) it was accompanied by Ukrainian chaplains who attended to the spiritual needs of the troops, (4) it was kept separate from other German forces, and (5) it was created with the proviso that it never be used against the Western Allies, but only against Soviet forces on the Eastern front. These five qualities alone render the Galicia Division an entity unlike any that was being conjured up in the minds of 60 Minutes viewers.
