Walmart’s T-shirt homage to mass murder

On Aug. 23, the European Day of Remembrance for Victims of Totalitarian Regimes, Estonia opened a new memorial for all victims of communism. The 30,000 square foot structure in Tallinn is dedicated to the people of Estonia who suffered under the terror inflicted by the Soviet Union. The names of 22,000 people who were murdered or never returned home from the inhumane conditions in Siberia are inscribed on the memorial’s plaques. Now, after the passage of so much time, many families finally have place to mourn their lost loved ones, to pray, to place flowers and candles. Considering the lighthearted treatment afforded communism by many in the West, these reminders remain much-needed.
The Day of Remembrance marks the infamous Molotov – Ribbentrop Pact on August 23, 1939, which divided Europe between Hitler and Stalin and paved the way to World War II. Much of the world has forgotten that these dictators remained allies until Germany invaded the USSR in late 1941. Many do not realize that both national socialism, or Nazism, and communism shared the idea that everything was permissible for the good of the cause – everything from martial law to confiscations, occupations, arrests, torture and murder.
The crimes of Stalin have sometimes been excused because he ultimately fought against Nazi Germany. Soviet crimes against humanity were not even mentioned at the Nuremburg trials. Sadly, the huge American contribution to winning the war and rebuilding the western part of Europe has been ignored or forgotten as well. But all this means that the crimes of Stalin and his communist successors have not been judged properly nor have the millions of victims and their survivors received proper recognition or any assurance that history will not repeat itself. Stalin and Hitler had much blood on their hands – basically two sides of one filthy coin – yet only one side seems to be etched into the memory of mankind.
And because so far there has been no judgment of Russia’s Soviet past, the unfortunate Russian people have ended up with an authoritarian leader who falsifies the past, glorifies Stalin and his era, ignores rule of law, invades his neighbors, and eliminates those who dare to criticize or oppose him. In 2002, Alexander Yakovlev, in his book “A Century of Violence in Soviet Russia“ warned that Russia will never be a normal country until it acknowledges and comes to terms with the crimes of its Soviet past.
It is a task left to survivors, historians, people of goodwill, and memorials and monuments such as the one in Estonia, to try to tell the truth about the communist system which everywhere ended in misery, costing the lives of 100 million people.
On this background it is extremely concerning and offensive to find Walmart and other retailers promoting what they call “cool shirts“ — bright red tees emblazoned with the Soviet hammer and sickle. Making light of the atrocities committed under and in the name of communism shows ignorance and callousness.
As an Estonian-American living in Europe, I am embarrassed and pained. It is impossible to explain such flippancy to people here, many of whom suffered under communism. People are beginning to think that it is true – Americans care only about making money. I have a hard time convincing them about the America and Americans I know and love, their values and principles, their bravery and willingness to help the downtrodden and oppressed.
Most of my friends here and abroad find this Walmart campaign disgusting. Some have asked, “When will they come out with the companion shirt emblazoned with a swastika?” Precisely this question shows how much still needs to be done to inform and educate people that there were two evil dictators, erstwhile allies, whose crimes and ambitions resulted in so many millions of victims. It is an immense task, but it can be achieved. One place to begin, in this case, is to contact Walmart at all levels. There are many opportunities – their website, their Facebook, your local Walmart store, and management at the highest level.
The executioners killed their victims twice: first by taking their lives and second by erasing the memory of them and their fate. This is why it is important to remember. We cannot undo the first killing, but we can undo the second.

Dissonant Notes: Prisoners of Conscience in China’s ‘Harmonious Society’
- Why did my mother, an innocent and harmless elderly lady, have to suffer this kind of inhumane treatment?
By Jennifer Zeng

PERMALINK
I escaped from China in 2001, after nearly being tortured to death in Beijing Female Forced Labor Camp for practicing Falun Gong. I was lucky enough to have gained protection from the Australian government two years later. I moved to the United States in 2011 and have been working as a journalist and writer ever since.
People might assume that since I have escaped from Communist China, my nightmare as a victim of Communism has ended long since. But the reality is just the opposite.
As late as October 1, 2018, my 76-year-old mother traveled from Mianyang City in Sichuan Province, China, to Chengdu, and then from Chengdu to Shanghai, a journey over 1,000 miles, to take an airplane from there to the United States to visit me, a journey of 7,300 miles.
Coming to the United States was a very tiring and long trip that my mother had been reluctant to take, as she had just had surgery, and her health was not in good shape. She doesn’t speak any English and traveling alone to America was very challenging.
However, she bravely took up the challenge, as, in both a bitter and sweet way, she regarded this as the last chance she would have to see me in her life. She said she didn’t intend to come again after this visit, as she would be too old and unfit to travel, and she never dared to expect that I could travel back to China to visit her.
Why can’t I go back to China? Because as a Falun Gong practitioner, and an outspoken writer and journalist, I could never, ever get a visa to return since I escaped China in 2001.
For more than 17 years, I have never been able to visit my family in China, not even when my father was dying in the hospital, before he eventually passed away in 2014, without having set sight on me for more than 13 years.
So for my mother, the only way for her to see me is to fly across the ocean to the United States.
But alas! To her astonishment, she was unexpectedly stopped at customs at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, while filled with mixed emotions of excitement, longing, sweetness, and bitterness, and an expectation of seeing me in just 15 hours. She was then told that her passport was revoked by the Public Security Bureau in Mianyang City, before an officer actually destroyed her passport by cutting off two corners of the main page.
No explanations were offered. My mother, a shocked, scared, desperate, helpless, and weeping elderly lady, had to figure out, in the middle of night, at a strange place, how to notify me that she couldn’t come, how to stop her luggage from being flown to the United States, how to get a ticket to fly back to Chengdu, and how to travel back from Chengdu to Mianyang with her big luggage, alone.
More than a month has passed since then, and my mother is still weeping alone at home, too distressed and ashamed to go out and let others know that she was not allowed to travel. Nor dare she go to the Public Security Bureau to ask why they decided to revoke her passport, and without informing her.
My heart was nearly broken when I learned all this. Why did my mother, an innocent and harmless elderly lady, have to suffer this kind of inhumane treatment?
Ever since the persecution of Falun Gong started in 1999, more than 19 years ago, she has had to suffer again and again, bitter, unnecessary, and groundless separations that felt like death, when both my sister and I were thrown into labor camps, when I had to flee China to avoid further persecution, and when my father died in misery after suffering from persecution for more than a decade.
My dear mother had to endure all these for more than 19 years. For more than 19 years, the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] has never stopped harassing her and forcing her to pressure me in an attempt to silence me.
And now, her last hope of seeing her dear daughter for the last time in her life was so cruelly taken away.
I cry my eyes out whenever I have to write about how much my family members have to suffer because I want to speak the truth.
I was very glad that Vice President Pence specifically mentioned religious freedom in China in his landmark speech on U.S.-China relations on October 4, 2018, but was disappointed that he didn’t mention Falun Gong.
When I was incarcerated and tortured in the Beijing Female Forced Labor Camp from 2000 to 2001, as many as 95 percent of the inmates there were Falun Gong practitioners. The U.S. Department of State and Congressional-Executive Commission on China have cited estimates that as many as half of China’s reeducation-through-labor camp population is made up of Falun Gong practitioners.
The sheer number of imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners, and the scale and extent of the persecution, are not the worst part of the story. The most inhuman evil nature of the persecution is that the CCP wants to deprive people’s God-given human dignity and rights to own their own thoughts, free will and beliefs.
In order to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up and even to attack their faith - truthfulness, compassion and tolerance, the main principles they follow in their everyday life - the CCP stops at no evil to destroy people mentally and spiritually.
Apart from targeting the very essence that defines a human being as a human being, the CCP also goes so far as to treat human beings as “commercialized” body parts and organ banks in order to make huge amounts of money.
From 2000 to 2015, the CCP regime is estimated to have performed 60,000 to 100,000 transplants each year, with the bulk of the extracted organs coming from Falun Gong practitioners, according to a 700-page, 2016 report, which exposed in detail China’s lucrative practice of organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience.
Nobody knows exactly how many have been killed on demand for organ transplants in all these years.
But one thing is sure: after accumulating “experiences” during its 19-year-long persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, the CCP is now “expanding” what it learned to the wider society. That is why we are seeing reeducation camps being set up in Xinjiang Province, and an Orwellian surveillance monitor-and-control system being established in the entire Chinese society, as Vice President Pence mentioned in his speech.
I have been very glad to see that under the leadership of President Trump, the United States is now ready to stand up to defend American interests and values against the CCP regime. And I hope that the one hundred million Falun Gong practitioners and their families in China can also gain moral support and help from the United States and the world.
Humankind once vowed “Never Again”. Unfortunately what is happening in Communist China is no less evil than what happened in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. The only difference is, while we cannot do anything about what had already happened in the Nazi concentration camps, we can do something to stop what is still happening in China now on a very large scale.
Please, do extend your hands, as stopping the Communist evil is not only about China, but also about every one of us in the world.

DOWN WITH THE WORMS!

The parallels are uncanny – and unnerving. A mob descending on the home of a classical guitarist in Castro’s Cuba – his only crime: wanting to leave the country – and the in-your-face harassment of Trump officials today.
“This street belongs to Fidel!” A short preview of the documentary Act of Repudiation depicts a horde of people in communist Cuba attacking the home of the guitarist, his wife, and three young daughters over 11 days.
And thus we see that the current wave of vitriolic demonstrations of intolerance in the U.S. today is an old tool of Marxist philosophy used by all left-wing regimes in history.
In Castro's Cuba, the tool was used so frequently it had a name: “Act of Repudiation”.
Decades of Marxist philosophy served up by academia, media, and Hollywood have set the stage for the spectacles we are witnessing in the U.S. today: the public harassments Congresswoman Maxine Waters is demanding.
Acts of Repudiation are a communist/fascist technique used by the former Soviet Union, its satellites, and Hitler's National Socialist Nazi Party, as well as the Ku Klux Klan. The Acts are designed to intimidate, terrorize, neutralize, and silence anyone who stands in the way.
For those who still have not connected the dots due to so much misinformation and propaganda from the mainstream media, I want to clarify: Marxism is the root of Communism, the Nazi National Socialist Party classified as Fascist, Socialism, collectivism and today’s “progressivism”.
All of these ‘ism’s’ are variants of left-wing Marxist philosophy.
The last one – progressivism - is just a ruse using a benign sounding word to deliver uninformed people to the same thing, a totalitarian society, the ultimate objective of all flavors of left-wing political theory.
This spread of Marxism in the U.S. has distorted "liberalism" into the antithesis of liberty, and diverted the Democrat Party into foreign left-wing ideology which is the opposite of America’s classical liberal founding and the U.S. Constitution.
For decades now, many Democrat members of Congress are members of the Democratic Socialists of America or other proto-communist groups. They are part of the international communist network. Communist Russia has been interfering in U.S. affairs for decades through the Communist Party USA.
Although well aware, the rest of the members of the Democrat and the Republican Parties are complicit in their silence as is the mainstream media and even supposedly critical pundits.
But the Democrat Party has descended so far to the left and has become so intolerant, fanatic and prone to violence that for quite a number of years I have been calling them “Demonrats.” They are no longer an American party and they obviously don't protect and defend the security of the citizens.
The control of our academic world by Marxist professors is invalid in a democratic republic! They are reprogramming new generations of Americans. The end result is a new generation so uninformed that they have no idea where Socialism will lead.
All Marxist derivatives lead directly to an all-powerful government where a ruling elite and bureaucracy dictate all aspects of our private and public lives. Their goal is global government with a mighty ruling elite at the top and the workers at the bottom.
The corrupt and deceptive mainstream U.S. media--with some exceptions--participate in the "resistance” and complicate matters by facilitating hate and glorifying Acts of Repudiations in public and private places.
What that despicable Congresswoman Maxine Waters espouses--‘confront, harass, create a crowd, and push back’--is nothing clever, new, or original. It is a tired, old, Marxist technique trotted out whenever logic fails and hysterical emotion is substituted for reason. [Editor’s Note: Maxine Waters has long supported communist causes and has numerous ties to communist and socialist groups.]
If the same intolerant, hysterical, and violent atmosphere continues in the U.S. today, we are all in for a rude awakening. America as we have known it will be no more.
Down with the worms! Kill the kulaks! Sieg heil!
