Praha/Bratislava, 27 July 2017. Researchers of the Platform of European Memory and Conscience have found the graves of six of thirteen identified
Polish victims who were killed by electrocution on the Czechoslovak Iron Curtain. The responsibility for their deaths lies primarily with former Minister of Interior, later member of the Politburo and Prime Minister Lubomír Štrougal. The Polish Institute of National Remembrance, which initiated criminal proceedings in the cases based on the findings of the Platform this February, announced last month that they were interested in exhuming the remains of the Polish citizens.
Based on a submission by the Platform of European Memory and Conscience, prosecutors of the Main Commission for the Prosecution of the Crimes against the Polish Nation, which is a division of the Institute of National Remembrance, initiated criminal proceedings this February in cases of killings of Polish citizens on the Czechoslovak Iron Curtain in the years 1961-1965, when Lubomír Štrougal (*1924) was Minister of Interior.

Jul 24, 2017, The bloc has become an authoritarian regime insisting that it is the defender of liberal democracy.

In recent weeks, EU negotiators have claimed that the British negotiators of Brexit are not sufficiently sophisticated to understand the complex issues being dealt with, and that, in essence, it is frustrating for EU negotiators to deal with unskilled negotiators. I have found that dealing with unskilled negotiators has frequently created opportunities for me, but apparently the EU wants to have a better team to play against.

“We used to have a big farm in the Czech Highlands. My father died when I was sixteen, at a time when I dreamt of joining the air forces – I still have a badge of the Masaryk aircraft which I applied to at home. I’m ninety-four years old now but I still enjoy looking up when I see something flying above me. Back then, my mum told me: ‘No air force, there is your farm you have to take care of!’ So I did. At first I didn’t like it, I even wanted to run away to the West with two friends of mine during the war. When we reached the Polish borders, I told them: ‘Guys, I’m sorry! I would really love to go with you but my mum lives here and I can’t leave her.’ My conscience didn’t allow me. So I went back but they eventually reached England. Both joined the air force and both used to fly over the La Manche channel. One of them got shot down, he has a memorial in Humpolec. My mum died a few years after that and I was sent by the Germans to Austria for digging trenches as forced labor at the end of the war. That was horrendous. When people say they would like to be young again, I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t like to go through my life again.”

Jan A. Bata ordered 2,000 Czechoslovak technical experts be sent to Great Britain, the United States and to neutral countries. Also, see on page 2 where Muska is arranging Bata funds for evacuating Czech soldiers who were stranded in France. Muska is describing raising about 1,000,000 Francs for this purpose. This is interesting because of the new hit movie soon to be released in the cinema called Dunkirk. This is important because is shows the planning of J.A.Bata to help people who were in desperate need.

A sniper with Canada’s elite special forces in Iraq has shattered the world record for the longest confirmed kill shot in military history at a staggering distance of 3,540 meters (3,871 yards) or OVER TWO MILES AWAY.
Sources say a member of Joint Task Force 2 killed an Islamic State insurgent with a McMillan TAC-50 sniper rifle while firing from a high-rise during an operation that took place within the last month in Iraq. It took under 10 seconds to hit the target government’s advise and assist mission. “Instead of dropping a bomb that could potentially kill civilians in the area, it is a very precise application of force and because it was so far way, the bad guys didn’t have a clue what was happening.”

We are approaching the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik Putsch. The resulting bloodshed occurred not only Russia, but caused the export of a totalitarian
ideology, evil, and hatred around the globe, with the subsequent victimization of millions of people.
Our fathers and grandfathers tried to defend freedom and democracy within the territory held by the Don Cossack Host. After finding Bolshevism’s ideology and practice unacceptable, they established The Rescue Circle of Don. Having freed their historical lands from the Communists, they formed an independent and free Democraftic Don Republic. For two years, the cossacks were able to defend their freedom and human dignity against the forces of evil, that outnumbered them. In 1920, the forces of evil were victorious, and that was the beginning of mass terror, firing squad executions, exile into concentration camps, the burning of villages and settlements, demolition of churches, and even destruction of cemeteries. More than half of the population was destroyed. This genocide of Cossacks has been formally acknowledged by the Russian Federation government, but for all intents, this genocide is continuing to this day. Only instead of firing squads and concentration camps, it was decided to replace the Cossacks with odious persons of various nationalities dressed in imitation Cossack uniforms. These individuals behave in an offensive and rude fashion and insult respectable people, and they sully the memory of a free people that been almost exterminated. The true history of the Cossack genocide is concealed and distorted.
