Communist Apologists take over Scholastic Books






I included my snarky comments [inside square brackets] otherwise I simply transcribed the text from Rosenberg, Aaron. World War Ii: Adolf Hitler, Winston Churchill, Josef Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hirohito, Dwight D. Eisenhower. New York: Scholastic, 2011. Print.









































Five-Year Plan

In 1928 Stalin had introduced a Five-Year Plan to industrialize the new Soviet Union.  With this plan, the government increased coal and iron production [ #GlobalWarming!!!!] and electrical generation.  Overseers compiled files on each worker.  They publicly humiliated those who did not meet production goals.  Poor workers could even be accused of sabotage and shot or put to manual labor.  At the same time, Stalin increased the pay for skilled labor, as opposed to common labor.  That created a  gap between the two groups, and established new classes in the Soviet Union.



















Terror Tactics

By 1932 Stalin’s opponents were growing more vocal.  They were complaining about his Five-Year Plan and the methods he was using to encourage hard work [like the aforementioned shooting of workers who didn’t meet their quota].  They were not happy about the increased wages or the new class system.  Many politicians felt they had been wrong to remove Trotsky from power.  Stalin tried to silence his critics, but his own protege, Sergey Kirov, protested and won the support of the Politburo, the Soviet congress.  Kirov was winning more and more approval from party members, and Stalin worried that Kirov would try to replace him as leader.

















Kirov was assassinated on December 1, 1934.  Stalin claimed a conspiracy was behind the death [lead presumably by Stalin’s evil twin].  He used Kirov’s death as an excuse to arrest and execute several of his rivals, including Kamenev and Zinoviev.











In September 1936, Stalin appointed his follower Nikolai Yezhov to run the NKVD, the Communist secret police.  Yezhov soon arrested all of Stalin’s chief rivals and critics.  The NKVD convinced [no euphemism here] these prisoners to confess to treason, and then executed them.  Next they purged the Soviet army of anyone they thought was a traitor.  
























This included eight commanders who were charged with conspiring with Germany.

Finally, in 1938, Stalin announced that Fascists (people who believed in Fascism, which teaches that a country needs a single strong leader and should be run like a business [so this describes Stalin - except the running the country like a business part - unless your business happens to be running a funeral parlor]) had taken control of the secret police.  They were the ones responsible for all these deaths.  He appointed Lavrenti Beria to head the secret police and find out who was responsible [Stalin was as shocked to discover so many political assassinations occurring in the USSR as Claude Rains was to find gambling in the Casablanca casino].  Beria captured and executed all of the other high-ranking officers in the NKVD, including Yezhov.  All those who had known about the purging of potential rivals and Stalin’s involvement with them were now dead.  Nearly seven hundred thousand people died during what became known as the Great Purge.

"With the help of the allies, including the US, Japan was Defeated"

A PBS documentary film, "Mulberry Child", about the ChiCom Cultural Revolution, which is commie bowdlerization for mass murder, damned with faint praise American contribution to the Pacific Theater in World War II. The documentary says that the US only helped to defeat Japan in World War II vs, in actuality, doing the yeoman's work and basically carrying all the freight:


Frank Capra's "Why We Fight" US World War II propaganda film tried to be as diplomatic as possible and said @31:01 that China "traded space for time" in order to regroup and counterattack, but that counterattack never came. China acted like the France of the Pacific: they surrendered early and engaged in complete complicit collaboration with the Axis.



I would say that if it hadn't been for the US, the Chinese would now be speaking Japanese, except they probably wouldn't be speaking at all because they would've been eaten by cannibal Japanese Fascists, from TERRY MCCARTHY Wednesday 12 August 1992 "The Independent" article "Japanese troops 'ate flesh of enemies and civilians'":

"JAPANESE troops practised cannibalism on enemy soldiers and civilians in the last war, sometimes cutting flesh from living captives, according to documents discovered by a Japanese academic in Australia. In most cases the motive was apparently not shortage of food, but 'to consolidate the group feeling of the troops', said Toshiyuki Tanaka yesterday in a telephone interview from Melbourne."


From Rory Callinan October 5, 2013 "Sydney Morning Herald" article "Archives reveal Japanese atrocities on Diggers kept secret"

"Previously secret documents from the archives reveal the two were thought to have been horrifically dissected and their organs served up in a ritual dinner to Japanese soldiers, or souvenired and taken back to Japan. The Japanese soldiers were never brought to justice and the facts have been kept from the dead men's families. Details of the atrocities were suppressed and some continue to be so."
 

From Charles Laurence 26 Oct 2003 "Telegraph" article "George Bush's comrades eaten by their Japanese PoW guards":


"Mr Bradley has established that they were tortured, beaten and then executed, either by beheading with swords or by multiple stab-wounds from bayonets and sharpened bamboo stakes. Four were then butchered by the island garrison's surgeons and their livers and meat from their thighs eaten by senior Japanese officers."
