History is Full of Surprises for Those Who Ignore It by Michael Peirce
It was with a sense of wonder that I read English writer Daniel Johnsonââ¬â¢s piece "Red Army troops raped even Russian women as they freed them from camps." (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2002/01/24/wbeev24.xml&sSheet=/news/2002/01/24/ixworld.html)
What really knocked me out of my chair was this statement, "The Red Army's orgy of rape in the dying days of Nazi Germany was conducted on a much greater scale than previously suspected." I can only ask, "than previously suspected by whom"? The answer must be that public school graduates are as ill informed in the UK as they are here in never never land (as in Never Read, Never Think). That, coupled with the fact the in both countries the State-sponsored media conform to a leftist world view that eschews truth as anathema, has been enough to teach several generations of post modernist "deep thinkers" that all evil that exists in this world is a result somehow of either Christians with their annoying morality or political right wingers, real and alleged. Is not "Nazi" the worst insult that light weights like Madeleine Albright can pull out of their linguistic bag of tricks? Heard any commentator mention the crimes of the left lately?
Unbelievable as it seems, there are in this world many who remain convinced that the Soviet communists were really no worse than say, the Republicans. It should be obvious that there is no comparison between the two ââ¬â the communists for all their sins were at least effective. No one can accuse the Republicans of that. How long has stopping the abortion holocaust been part of their alleged "platform"?
The Communist Party on the other hand dealt with the perceived problems of Russia with methods right out of Genghis Khanââ¬â¢s handbook. That millions died is not debatable ââ¬â the numbers tossed around are between thirty and sixty million. Thatââ¬â¢s not counting the millions that died enjoying the dubious distinction of being "liberated" by the Red Army. Complaining about the Soviet Armyââ¬â¢s predilection for rape seems almost silly in a way ââ¬â like complaining about the Allied planes causing noise pollution flying over Hamburg or Dresden. Not knowing about the Soviet Armyââ¬â¢s bad habits is on the other hand, downright dangerous.
