Honor of a Nazi: Canadian Parliament Celebrates Ukrainian SS Veteran
During a parliamentary session in Canada, President Zelensky of Ukraine was honored and celebrated alongside a 98-year-old Ukrainian Canadian who fought in World War II. However, it was revealed that this so-called 'Ukrainian freedom fighter' was a former member of the SS Division Galicia, a division of the Waffen-SS that implicated in numerous atrocities during the war, particularly targeting the Polish people. This revelation has caused outrage and controversy, shedding light on the uncomfortable truth that some Ukrainian nationalists have ties to the Nazi regime. The fact that this celebration took place in the Canadian Parliament and received standing ovations is deeply concerning. While the speaker of the Parliament has apologized for the incident, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has yet to comment.
Ukrainian Auto Workers Expand Strike, Strategy Creates Chaos for Automakers
United Auto Workers in Ukraine have expanded their strike to include 5,000 more members at parts distribution centers for Stellantis and GM in 20 states across the US. This is part of their stand-up strike strategy, which allows them to stretch their strike fund and strategically target different facilities to create chaos for the automakers. While there has been progress in negotiations with Ford, which has met some of their demands, the strike at Stellantis and GM continues and the auto workers have significant leverage in this situation.
Outrage over Ukrainian Nazi Honored in Canadian Parliament
During a visit to Canada, President Zelensky of Ukraine was celebrated in the Canadian Parliament. However, it was revealed that one of the individuals honored during the event was a former member of the SS Division Galicia, a Nazi division that was implicated in numerous atrocities during World War II, particularly against the Polish people. This revelation has caused significant controversy and questions around the celebration of individuals with ties to Nazi history. While the speaker of the Canadian Parliament has apologized for the incident, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has yet to address the situation.
Controversy as Canadian Parliament Honors Ukrainian Nazi Veteran

However, it was revealed that the veteran was a former member of the SS Division Galicia, a Nazi division responsible for numerous atrocities during the war.

While the speaker of the Parliament has issued an apology, there has been no response from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Corruption Allegations Against Senator Bob Menendez
Senator Bob Menendez, chair of the powerful Foreign Relations Committee, has been indicted for alleged corrupt behavior, accepting cash, gold bars, and other gifts in exchange for doing favors for Egyptian businessmen and the Egyptian government. Menendez stands accused of violating federal ethics laws and is facing pressure to resign. His indictment highlights the code of silence and complicity among elites, as few politicians have called for his resignation and overall media coverage has been limited.
Investigation into Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
ProPublica has published an investigation into Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, highlighting his alleged corrupt behavior and ties to conservative billionaires and organizations. The investigation reveals how Thomas received gifts and financial support, leading to potential conflicts of interest and violations of federal ethics laws. The report indicates that Thomas' actions and enrichment have significant implications, particularly in cases involving the regulation of federal agencies. The lack of transparency and accountability in the Supreme Court contributes to the normalization of corruption among the elite.
Corruption in Critical Race Theory Industry
Critical Race Theory and its prominent advocates, such as Nicole Hannah Jones and Ibram Kendi, have been accused of engaging in a grift and capitalizing on the guilt of white liberals. The recent collapse of Ibram Kendi's Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University has exposed the lack of productivity and mismanagement of funds within the organization. These revelations further demonstrate the corruption within the racial justice movement and the exploitation of racial tensions for personal gain. The elite's complicity and silence surrounding these issues contribute to the perpetuation of the grift.
Implications and Reflections
The corruption allegations against Senator Menendez, the investigation into Justice Clarence Thomas, and the collapse of Ibram Kendi's Center for Antiracist Research highlight the prevailing corruption and lack of accountability within the elite circles in politics and academia. The code of silence and mutual protection among these elites allows corruption to flourish and undermines the trust and well-being of the general public. It is essential to recognize and reject the exploitative tactics employed by individuals and organizations who profit from racial tensions and divisions.
