Holodomor in the USA

2024 Author: Seth Attwood | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-16 15:55

In American history, there is a crime against its own people - this is the Great American Holodomor of the same ill-fated 1932/33, as a result of which the United States lost millions of its citizens.

The United States of America is constantly trying to teach us strict "lessons of the Holodomor."

"The commission created by the US Congress in 1988 came to the conclusion that during the Holodomor, a quarter of the Ukrainian population - millions of Ukrainians were deliberately destroyed by the Soviet government through genocide, and not just died due to crop failure"

"On October 20, 2003, the House of Representatives of the US Congress adopted a resolution on the Holodomor of 1932-33 in Ukraine, in which it recognized it as an act of terror and mass murder directed against the Ukrainian people."

"In November 2005, the House of Representatives of the US Congress adopted a resolution that allows the Ukrainian authorities to open a monument to the victims of the Holodomor of 1932-1933 in Washington and recognized it."

"This (2008) US Congress may consider a new resolution on the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932-33."

Such news immediately floods the feeds of news agencies, is abundantly quoted by the press, is picked up by television and human rights organizations, and is forcibly injected into the minds of millions of people around the world by information injection.

But behind the scenes of the news, the question always remains: what is the reason for such a persistent, almost intrusive attentiveness of the US Congress to the events of 75 years ago in a distant point of the planet. Why did the well-informed Americans not protest then, in 1932/33, and realized only fifty-five years later? Is it only the current interests of the political struggle with the USSR and Russia's influence in the post-Soviet space, the desire to forever split the Little Russians from the single Russian nation - again and again tempt Americans to repeat the basics of Goebel's fascist propaganda of the 30s, that "millions of Ukrainians were deliberately destroyedthe Soviet government ".

The version of a particularly heightened sense of compassion and justice inherent in American congressmen disappears immediately - it is enough to look for one (one, not three) Congress resolutions, where genocide against the indigenous population of the United States would be honestly called genocide, or at least "mass extermination" - and This is despite the fact that most of the peoples inhabiting the territory of the United States were completely destroyed, and their total number was consistently and purposefully reduced by about a hundred times.

In American history, there is another crime against its people - the Great American Holodomor of the same ill-fated 1932/33, as a result of which the United States lost millions of its citizens.

About this, as well as about the genocide of the indigenous population, you will not find condemning resolutions of the Congress, angry speeches of American politicians, "memorial signs" erected on the anniversary of the mass destruction of people and other tokens of memory. The memory of this is reliably walled up in forged statistics reports, in archives cleared of evidence of crime, written off to the "invisible hand of the market", varnished with eulogies about the genius of President Roosevelt, and the happiness of "public works" organized by him for the nation - in fact, little different from the GULAG and epics of the construction of the White Sea Canal. Of course, according to the American version of history, only "in the Soviet Union, millions of men, women and children became victims of cruel actions and policies of the criminal totalitarian regime", such definitions are unacceptable to American history.

Let's try to dispel this myth, relying only on American sources.

Fake statistics, or where are seven million people?

Trying to look at the official US demographic statistics is staggering from the outset: the statistics for 1932 are destroyed - or very well hidden. ** They just don't exist. Without explanation. Yes, they appear later, in later statistics, in the form of retrospective tables. Examination of these tables also leaves the attentive researcher somewhat amazed.

Cover of the statistic report for 1940. It contains retrospective data on the missing 1932 year. But they do not inspire confidence.

Firstly, according to American statistics, over the decade from 1931 to 1940, according to the dynamics of population growth, the United States lost no less than 8 million 553 thousand people, and the indicators of population growth change immediately, simultaneously, two (!) Times exactly at the turn 1930/31, fall and freeze at this level for exactly ten years. And just as unexpectedly, after a decade, they return to their previous values. There is no explanation for this in the vast, hundreds of pages, text of the US Department of commerce report "Statistical Abstract of the United States", although it is filled with explanations on other issues that are not even worth mentioning in comparison with the above.

The question is simply bypassed by the default figure. There is no such question.

Any responsible demographer will tell you that a one-time double change in the indicators of population dynamics in a huge country of one hundred million is possible only as a result of mass loss of life.

Perhaps people left, emigrated, fled from the dire conditions of the Great Depression? Let's take accurate, detailed data on immigration to / from the United States and population movements, easily verifiable through cross-comparison with data from other states, and therefore quite reliable. Alas. Immigration statistics do not support this version in any way. Indeed, in the midst of the depression, perhaps for the first time in recent US history, more people left the country than entered it. In just the 30s, 93,309 more people left the country than arrived in it, and a decade earlier, 2,960,782 additional people arrived in the country. Well, let's adjust the total demographic losses in the United States in the thirties by 3.054 thousand people ***.

However, if we take into account all the reasons, including immigration, then in fairness we must add 11.3% to the population shortage in the 30s, taking into account the country's population increased over the 20s, the growth of the demographic base.

In total, according to calculations, in 1940, the population of the United States, while maintaining the previous demographic trends, should have amounted to at least 141, 856 million people. The actual population of the country in 1940 was only 131.409 million, of which only 3.054 million can be explained by changes in the dynamics of migration.

So, 7 million 394 thousand people as of 1940 are simply absent. There is no official explanation for this. I will assume that they will never appear. But if there are any: the episode with the destruction of statistical data for 1932 and clear signs of falsification of the data of later reports, deliberately deprives the US government of the right to give any credible comments on this matter.

However, the Americans are far from alone in their desire to systematically destroy incriminating evidence and hide the loss of the population from hunger. This is a completely hereditary trait of Anglo-Saxon politics, and it comes from the British Empire. So, in 1943 the British authorities allowed a monstrous famine in Bengal as a result of which more than 3.5 million people died, and before that they had quite successfully starved Ireland.

The organization of mass famine in India was the response of the British administration for the 1942 uprising and the support of the population of the "Indian National Army". But you will not find such data in the British sources of those years. Only India's independence made it possible to collect and publish these materials later. Otherwise, the monstrous British famine of 1943 would never have become known to us, everything would have been safely erased and hidden, as happened with the materials on the victims of the Great Depression. Actually, any colonial power has such skeletons in the closet.

When the United States falls apart - and only then - we will learn a lot and a lot of interesting things about the crimes of the US authorities against their own people, the genocide of the indigenous population of the continent and about this tragic time. And, perhaps, then the future informed reader will be quite surprised by the opposition of the wise Roosevelt to the villain Stalin - as we are sincerely surprised by the exaltation of one ruler from rough, brutal antiquity to another. For everything is in blood, everything is in wars, in crimes and atrocities.

But we live today, where the monstrous Stalin, who killed entire nations, is opposed by a white-fluffy Angel of Good of the type Made in USA, and this angel hysterically screams about millions deliberately tortured by hunger. How do they, there, in the congresses, count the number of victims of the Holodomors? This is not easy. Researchers of the "Holodomor" often complain about the lack of statistics, its incompleteness, the fact that the death toll has to be deduced by a purely calculation method, approximately according to the same method as we did above. **** Based on these calculations of the "number of victims of the Holodomor", the US Congress and their satellites regularly adopt more and more new resolutions, accusing the USSR, Russia and communism of multi-million dollar victims.

The foregoing extracts from the calculations are only a test for the precise application of these principles to the United States itself. And the citadel of democracy and human rights fails this test miserably.

So gentlemen:

Where are the 7 million 394 thousand people who disappeared from the statistical reports of the 30s?

** Here is a screenshot of the US government statistics website. “No statistical report has been compiled for this year,” says the caption. A good way to hide the ends in the water. Just don't make a report.

*** Note that I have not come across a single study of the Holodomor, where the migration (flight) of the population from the regions affected by the famine was taken seriously - the entire population decline, 100% - is attributed to the "victims of communism". At the same time, it is known for certain, for example, that out of 2.5 million special settlers, 700 thousand quietly “flowed away” from their settlements, without encountering much opposition.

**** Here, for example, how mortality changes under conditions of a crisis of 1991-1994 similar in scale to the Great Depression in Russia, where the reliability of the data is beyond doubt: The number of male deaths in Russia: 1991 - 894.5 thousand. people, 1994 - 1226, 4 thousand people (an increase in the number of deaths by 37%).

The background of the great Holodomor

The early thirties were a real humanitarian catastrophe in the history of the United States. In 1932, the number of unemployed reached 12.5 million. This is for the entire population of the States - including children and the elderly - 125 million. The peak came at the beginning of 1933, when there were already up to 17 million unemployed in America - with family members this is approximately completely unemployed France or Britain!

A small touch to the portrait of the era: when in the early 30s the Soviet company Amtorg announced the recruitment of specialists for work in the USSR, for a small Soviet salary, over 100 thousand (!) American applications were submitted for these vacancies. It seems that every second person who read the newspaper advertisement of Amtorg sent an application.

During the period of the greatest aggravation of the economic crisis, every third worker was deprived of employment. Partial unemployment has become a real disaster. According to the AFL (American Federation of Labor), in 1932 only 10% of the workers remained full-time. Only in August 1935, five years after the onset of the crisis, when the bulk of those who “did not fit into the market” had already died, a law was passed providing for insurance for old age and unemployment.

However, the insurance did not affect either farmers or a number of other categories of employees.

Recall that as such a national social insurance system in the country at the height of the crisis simply did not exist - that is, people were left to their own devices. Small assistance to the unemployed began to be provided only from the middle of 1933. For a long time, the administration did not even have a federal program to combat unemployment, and the problems of the unemployed were shifted to state authorities and city municipalities. However, almost all cities have already gone bankrupt.

Mass vagrancy, poverty, child homelessness became a sign of the times. Abandoned cities appeared, ghost towns, the entire population of which left in search of food and work. About 2.5 million people in cities lost their homes completely and became homeless.

Famine began in America, when even in the most prosperous and wealthiest city in the country, New York, people began to die of hunger en masse, forcing the city authorities to start distributing free soup on the streets.

Here are the child's true memories of these years:

"We replaced our usual favorite food with a more affordable one … instead of cabbage, we used bush leaves, ate frogs … within a month my mother and older sister died …" (Jack Griffin)

However, not all states had enough funds even for free soup.

It’s amazing to see pictures of these long lines at the military kitchens: decent faces, good clothes that have not yet been worn out, typical middle class. People seemed to have lost their jobs yesterday - and found themselves beyond the line of life. I don't know how to compare this. There are, perhaps, only photographs similar in spirit from Berlin, liberated by the Red Army, where the "Russian occupiers" feed the civilians who remained in the city. But there are different eyes. There is hope in the eyes that the worst is over. "Rape Germany", yes …

Deception mechanism

In the total volume of demographic losses, infant mortality occupies a special place. Due to the lack of a passport system and registration at the place of residence, it was easier to hide the fact of infant mortality by ignoring. In the United States, even now, not all is well with the infant mortality rate (worse than in Cuba, for example), and in the "prosperous" 1960, during the first year of life, 26 out of 1000 born children died. At the same time, the mortality rate of children born to non-whites reached 60 or more - this is in a more than favorable period. Interestingly, the official American statistics (in hindsight, recall) shows not an increase, but a decrease (!) livelihood - which definitely and conclusively testifies to the bogus nature of US government statistics for this period. The American falsifiers of reporting overdid it so much that in the peak crisis year of 1932/33 they brought the mortality rate lower than in the prosperous 1928.

Even more indicative are the death rates by state: for example, in the Federal District of Columbia during the same 1932, 15, 1 person per thousand of the population died, and the death rate increased. This is the capital, the accounting is imposed, and the data is similar to the truth. But in North Dakota, the mortality rate in the crisis of 1932 is supposedly 7, 5 people per 1000 population, half as much as in the capital of the country! And less than in the same Dakota in the most prosperous, prosperous 1925!

Apparently, Southern California became the champion of deception: over the three years, from 1929 to 1932, the mortality rate depicted in the reports fell from 14, 1 to 11, 1 people per 1000 population. According to the report, the situation with child mortality in the country, in the midst of the crisis, is also significantly improving compared to the years of prosperity. The infant mortality rates reported for 1932 and 1933 are generally the best in the entire history of statistical observations in the United States from 1880 to 1934!

Do you still believe these numbers?

How many children have died?

Where are five million five hundred seventy-three thousand souls?

More recent American statistics contain data on the age distribution of surviving children as of 1940. And if in 1940 the number of births in the 1920s was 24 million 80 thousand, then, while maintaining this demographic trend in the 30s, at least 26 million 800 thousand children should have been born. But in the generation of those born in the 30s, a shortage of 5 million 573 thousand is striking! Not much, not less. Maybe the birth rate has decreased so much? But even in the 40s, during the Second World War, despite all the losses and millions of men called up for military service, the birth rate recovered, almost to its previous values. The huge demographic losses of the 1930s cannot be explained by any "decline in the birth rate." It is a consequence of a huge number of additional deaths, a trail drawn by millions of lost children's lives, a black mark of the Great American Holodomor.

Based on these numbers, we can also estimate the total hunger and adult losses in the United States as the difference between the 30th generation shortage and the total population shortage. The adult population, probably, could not “just not be born” in any way? We can definitely talk about at least two million deaths over 10 years old, and about half of the five and a half million child demographic losses that are divided between mortality and some natural decline in fertility *****.

Thus, we can confidently speak of about five million direct victims of the 1932/33 Holodomor in the United States of America.

Especially high - prohibitive - mortality then affected the national minorities of the United States. Minorities have never been the subject of particular concern in the United States, but what happened during the Great Depression directly borders on genocide. If after the first genocide of indigenous peoples, which lasted almost until the beginning of the twentieth century, during the 20s the number of national minorities and indigenous peoples increased by 40% over the decade, then from 1930 to 1940 their number not only did not increase, but on the contrary, significantly decreased … This means only one thing: at the beginning of the 30s, the diasporas of national minorities instantly lost up to several tens of percent of the original population.

If this is not genocide, then what is genocide?

***** I foresee the question of the proportion of the division of the proven population decline between mortality and declining fertility. Since the data of the USA itself are unreliable, one has to turn to the method of analogy (international comparisons). In conditions similar to the Great Depression in other countries (including Russia in the 90s), population decline by about half (albeit within wide limits, from about one to two to two to one) is distributed between the decline in the birth rate and the increase in mortality. It is this proportion - in half - that is accepted as the basic one, to which one can then make reasonable adjustments. But in any case, and with any clarifications, we come to a figure of several million dead.

Defarming - an American-style spreading of peasants: from fists to the clutches of American Beria

Almost everyone in Russia, thanks to the concerns of Svanidze, knows about the two million kulaks ("special settlers") resettled by the communists, who were provided, we will note, in the places of resettlement either with land or with work. But few people know at the same time about the five million American farmers (about a million families) at exactly the same time, driven by banks from the land for debts, but not provided by the US government with neither land, nor work, nor social assistance, nor old-age pension - nothing.

This dekulakization in the American way - perhaps "justified by the need to enlarge agricultural production" - can be completely and unconditionally put on a par with the dispossession carried out in the USSR in exactly the same years, on a similar scale and for solving the same economic challenges - the need to increase the marketability of agriculture in the pre-war period, its consolidation and mechanization.

Every sixth American farmer fell under the Holodomor roller. People went nowhere, deprived of land, money, their home, property - into the unknown, seized by mass unemployment, hunger and widespread banditry.

Roosevelt's "public works" became the conduit of this mass of unnecessary population. In total, in 1933-1939. in public works under the auspices of the Public Works Administration (PWA) and the Civil Works Administration - NEA (this is the construction (belomor) of canals, roads, bridges, often in uninhabited and swampy malaria areas), with a one-time employment of up to 3.3 million. In total, 8, 5 million people passed through the American Gulag of public works - this is not counting the prisoners themselves.

The conditions and mortality at these jobs are still awaiting their attentive researcher.

Admiring the wisdom of Comrade Roosevelt, who organized "public works" - is about the same as admiring the wisdom of Comrade Stalin, who organized the construction of the Moscow Canal and other great construction projects of communism. However, Republicans in the 1940s drew attention to this deep systemic similarity between the two politicians, criticizing Roosevelt for "communism."

The almost demonic similarity of the Public Works Administration (PWA) to the GULAG is also given by this. The administration of public works is headed by a kind of "American Beria" - the Minister of the Interior G. Ickes ******, who since 1932 has imprisoned about two million people in camps for unemployed youth (!) the deductions were $ 25.

Five dollars for a month of hard labor in a malaria swamp. Decent payment for free citizens of a free country.

****** Yes, yes, this is the same Harold LeClair (1874-1952), the organizer of the Gulag in the American way, the Minister of the Interior in the presidential administrations F. D. Roosevelt and G. Truman (1933-1946), Director of the Public Works Administration (1933-1939). It was he who later, valiantly and with lightning speed, in cooperation with the army, interned the ethnic Japanese of the United States in concentration camps. (1941/42 year). The first stage of the operation took only 72 hours. A real professional, a worthy colleague comrade. Yezhov, Beria and Abakumov.

Government Food Destruction: Market Benefit - Hungry Slave Labor

Against the background of mass hunger and the death of the "surplus" population, the US government also noticed that, in these years, for the sake of certain circles, namely the agrarian business lobby, in significant quantities and systematically destroys food supplies in the country. Of course, quite by "market methods". It destroys in a variety of ways and on a grand scale: the grain was simply burned and drowned in the ocean. For example, 6.5 million heads of pigs were destroyed and 10 million hectares of land with crops were plowed.

The goal was not hidden. It consisted in the growth of food prices in the country by more than two times in the interests of agro-capital. Of course. this completely coincided with the interests of the big capitalists from agriculture and exchange trade, but the hungry did not like it very much. "Hunger marches" under Hoover, as well as reprisals against marching people, have become commonplace even in American capitals. But even under Roosevelt's New Deal, profits were planned for the capitalists, and for the hungry - the GULAG of public works. To each his own.

However, the US government has never really worried about hunger and death from starvation of its own population - unlike the victims of other "Holodomors" which could be played out for political purposes.

“I have no fears for the future of our country. It glows with hope,”President Hoover said on the eve of the Great Depression. And we have no fears for the past of the United States - according to the history of the production of the United States themselves - it, like Caesar's wife, is always beyond suspicion.

It is important to note that until 1988, when the US Congress commission to investigate the "Holodomor in Ukraine" was created, the United States did not pedalize this topic, as well as other topics from the Goebbels gold fund, such as Katyn or "raped Germany." The states clearly understood that they had their own starved skeleton in the closet, and the ideological retaliatory strike of the Soviet Union would be quick, accurate - and a losing one for America. The size of the demographic hole in the USSR and the United States in the early 1930s is completely comparable, and the mutual silence around this slippery topic was part of the unspoken code of the Cold War. Only in 1988, Washington, having received a group of high-ranking agents of influence in the Kremlin, headed by Mikhail Gorbachev, having as an ideological counterpart not the "iron man" Suslov, but the liberal Yakovlev, knowing that there would be no retaliation from the Soviets, began gradually promote the theme of the Holodomor in Ukraine. The moment was chosen as well as possible.

We cannot expect from the States self-disclosures about the American Holodomor, the publication of archival documents and confessions similar to those initiated - and possibly falsified - by Gorbachev's team in the late 1980s under the slogan of "restoring historical truth." No restoration of historical truth will take place before the collapse of the Western Evil Empire. The suppression of the truth about the Great American Holodomor is a consensus decision of the entire American political elite, both Republican and Democratic. The Republican Hoover Administration and the Democratic Roosevelt Administration were equally to blame for the enormous sacrifices of the 1930s. And those, and others on the conscience of millions of victims of their policy of killing. That is why the political system of the United States is sufficiently consolidated in the issue of complete denial of the fact of the Goldomor in the United States and its multimillion-dollar victims. Foam at the mouth, the fifth column of human rights defenders, from those that are on the balance sheet of the US Department of State and have an inventory number, will also deny this. But the historical truth will inevitably be revealed.

Instead of continuing to bark at Russia habitually, the United States should take a better sniff under its tail.
