Sometimes I force myself to tune in to “Jefferson Public Radio” and listen to the propaganda stream…sorta a “know the enemy” routine…and I must credit them with a smooth operation, subtle and seamless make-believe of lies and omissions…naive people will accept it. And the propagandists are sincere. Klemperer in “I Will Bear Witness” interprets the Goebbels’ war propaganda…not difficult for him as a combat veteran of the Great War and a despised class of person, a natural cynic. In Anoxia many people are entirely delusional.  The older guys I know who have been to war are not delusional, but they simply turn inwards, to garden and chopping wood, there being no point in trying to go against the march to ruin, fools will be fools and the people will not rise until the propaganda stops…which is a possibility. Any time some vast electromagnetic zap can happen, and no phone and no radio and no power station will function…and a hard reality descends like an axe. Rather a harsh eventuality. One nice part of being old is lack of fear, it surprises me a little.

In another line, an amusing film from the war…speaking of propaganda! US Department of Agriculture…https://youtu.be/iirF-TEBSZU  Hemp for Victory! (and no, I don’t)

A brief report on the principles and values of self-criticism…https://youtu.be/3Ir2iYN-mhQ  3:49 minutes. And sure, she’s pretty cool! Along such lines, yup, the RF and the stavka have some heavy decisions to make…

Bahia de Cochinos was selected because of the swamps – the idea being that the Cubans would not be able to bring defense forces up to liquidate the landing forces…then the landing force would be stuck on the beach and the marines waiting nearby offshore would have to go ashore too…it didn’t work out that way. 😉  Everybody knew the Americans were going to invade…and the militia was alert.

If the marines take a similar place in zone V, they’ll be pinned down…trapped…and then the Fatboy will have to save them…by bombing and maybe sending in more guys… Something along such lines was the mouse-trap the CIA set for Kennedy…

The landing force was taken prisoner…

Interesting Ruski film...Kuril Islands: The War’s Final Battle (RT/D) see…https://en.rtdoc.tv/films/2175-kuril-islands-the-wars-final-battle

Mother came for her lands…

August 1945. The Second World War in Europe is over, but the fighting continues in the Far East. The Red Army has crushed Japanese forces in Manchuria, while Soviet troops simultaneously launch offensives on southern Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands.

On August 18, the Soviet Union began an amphibious landing on the island of Shumshu. The Japanese had turned it into a heavily fortified stronghold, yet in a swift and determined assault, Soviet forces secured a foothold on the shore. This engagement would become the final battle of the entire war. Over six days of fierce combat, 8,800 Soviet soldiers took 23,000 Japanese troops and officers prisoner. Military historians regard the Red Army’s achievement in 1945 as extraordinary – defying accepted principles of offensive warfare, with few comparable victories in military history.

Eighty years later, the Shumshu battlefield remains largely untouched. Wrecked Japanese tanks and concrete pillboxes still stand. Today, search teams and specialists from Russia’s Emergency Ministry are working to turn the site into an open-air memorial.

The details of the Kuril operation were declassified only in recent years, allowing descendants to learn the fates of relatives who fought there. Among them is the granddaughter of Senior Lieutenant Nikolay Skopintsev, who was severely wounded during the Shumshu landing. She discovered where her grandfather was buried and donated his photograph for the memorial to the fallen.

As a result of the Kuril landing operation, the Soviet Union regained Russia’s historic territories – the southern part of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. The nation’s borders grew by 1,100 kilometers, and today these far-flung frontiers are guarded by Russian border forces. The crews of the patrol ships Taimyr and Yuzhno-Kurilsk serve in the Pacific, while mobile border units in vehicles and quad bikes patrol even the most remote stretches of Kamchatka’s coastline.
