Modern Forensics Re-Confirms Soviet Guilt For Katyn. British Still More Interested in Pleasing Communists Than Doing Justice to Poland–Even Decades After WWII! Native Americans (Indians)–The Facts Fail the Cultural Marxists

This work raises many topics, two of which I emphasize here. It delves into such things as 911-victim remains, fire victims, cannibalism, ethnoarchaeology, shipwrecks, individual and mass murders, etc. The reader will encounter many interesting facts. For instance, the failure of cadaver dogs to locate buried human remains does not rule out their local presence. (p. 152).

OLD FORENSIC EVIDENCE STILL STANDS ON KATYN VERDICT

Author Richard A. Gould re-examines the forensic evidence used to prove that the Soviets, and not the Nazis, had been responsible for the WWII Katyn Massacre. (pp. 157-159). Other than the evidence from saponification, which he finds not totally convincing (p. 158), he contends that all the other forensic evidence cited remains valid in the light of current knowledge! For instant, the bodies were so “glued” together that it would’ve been impossible, without causing obvious disruption, to plant pre-spring-1940 documents and newspaper articles on them or remove post-spring-1940 documents and newspaper articles from them.

After-the-fact Soviet pronouncements of having discovered more recent documents on the Poles’ bodies (e. g, as per the Burdenko Commission) lack credibility owing to the fact that there is no independent way of verifying the claim that they actually came from the bodies. (p. 159). Gould concludes: “Postwar and post-Glasnost documents have supported the findings of the three German-convened commissions, and a clear historical consensus has emerged that the Soviets bear full responsibility for the killings.” (p. 160).

THE BRITISH MORE INTERESTED IN PLEASING THE USSR THAN DOING JUSTICE TO POLAND–MOREOVER DECADES AFTER THE NEED FOR NOT OFFENDING THE SOVIET ALLY

Forget Yalta. Gould goes on to give the reader an example of the shameful long-term cover-up in the west regarding Communist guilt at Katyn. In 1975, decades after the end of the war and the need for an unoffended Soviet ally against the Nazis, the Anglican Church voiced strong opposition to the placing of a Katyn monument on its cemetery grounds. (pp. 201-202). The real issue was the “1940” encryption on it. Belatedly, and in spite of additional interference, this time from the USSR, the Katyn monument was constructed on separate land.

AMERICAN INDIAN CANNIBALISM: FORENSIC EVIDENCE DISPENSES WITH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

Nowadays, the cultural Marxists like to demonize white history. For example, they paint European settlers as rapacious barbarians, and the Indians as innocent, peace-loving natives. The facts are otherwise.

The discussion of cannibalism among the Pueblo (Acoma, Zuni, and Hopi) peoples is as fascinating as it is ghoulish. Cannibalism had long been discounted because it did not fit the “peaceful native Americans” conception, and because it was seen as furthering the racist notion that American Indians were savages. Gould elaborates on findings of disarticulated and burnt human bones that bear human-tool marks. This itself doesn’t prove that humans consumed human flesh. Polished bone-ends, indicating the stirring of bones in a pot while boiling, are more convincing. (pp. 138-139). Conclusive proof came in the form of human-myoglobin traces in a ceramic vessel (indicating that human flesh had been boiled in it), and human coprolites containing human remains. (pp. 141-142).
