On June 14 each year one is struck by the poignancy at the sight of so many half-mast Latvian flags. Many carry the black ribbon of remembrance. These sombre reflections of the past are seen on government buildings and places of worship, draped from city apartment blocks and scattered along the country lanes of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania.
There is bad reason for such national mourning. On June 14, 1939, the occupying Red Army swooped on the cities, towns and rural communities of Latvia. This tragedy marked the first wave of what the Western-backed Soviets described as population transfer. The Red Army conducted raiding parties that would net hundreds of thousands of ordinary people to be used as slaves. These hapless victims, who were ‘dubbed ‘White Negroes’ by Lev Trotsky, were used in the reconstruction of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Many were worked to death.
A Latvian friend, Daina Cerina, was a old pig-tailed kid. She was sitting at her country school desk when her lesson was interrupted by the arrival of Red Army troops. Names were read out: The eight-year old along with other of her classmates, were arrested. Their families had been rounded up hours earlier.
Without warning or time to prepare Daina and hundreds of others were pushed into cattle cars. Locked inside, that morning’s human harvest was to spend days and nights locked in their cattle train as it trundled across the steppe on its way to the Siberian Gulag camps.
Very few of those arrested were to return: It is estimated that 40 per cent perished in those dreadful camps. Some were freed after many years but few were permitted to return to their homelands. They became internal exiles. Each year with great dignity the dwindling number of survivors, families and sympathisers, march through Riga, the medieval capital of Latvia.
There are no Western media journalists, TV crews or photo-journalists there to record the event. Imagine the news coverage if, instead of these unfortunate peoples being European Christians they were Asiatic Jews. We ethnic-Europeans have a long way to go to match the foul racism displayed by media journalists who consider only the Jews deserving of sympathy. One can guarantee that on June 14 Western media will have ‘more important matters’ to titillate their vapid readers with.
The spurious claim is that ‘only 10%’ of the Baltic peoples were deported. However, a census taken after the Soviets departure in 1989 reveals a far different picture. Then, native Latvians represented only 52% of their nation’s population. Estonia did slightly better at 62% as did Lithuania; many of the latter being absorbed by the Soviet enclave of Kaliningrad.
It was not until 1991 that the last survivors of scores of ethnic groups were freed to return to their homelands. There were too few who would have any recollection of their homelands. Besides, their homes had by then long disappeared.
Western media almost daily recalls unfounded allegations against any solitary geriatric German guard. Why their silence of the near extinction of millions of ethnic-Europeans peoples by the Soviets?
Is it because the slave-plantation of the Soviet 5-Year plans and the Gulag archipelago would not have been possible without their being financed by Western banking houses and their infrastructure provided by the West’s corporate interests? Perhaps the reason for the media’s reticence is that these millions of slaves were transported in American made railway rolling stock and trucks. This is why mainstream media fear alternative media like Renegade Tribune.
