On October 16th, 40 members of US Congress signed a letter urging the US State Department to designate the Ukrainian Azov “volunteer” battalion as a terrorist organization.
The letter is spearheaded by Democrat Max Rose, and claimed that the “violent white nationalist” group meets all of State Department’s criteria to be designated as a terrorist organization.
Violent white supremacist groups meet all of the @StateDept criteria for inclusion on the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, but for some reason they refuse to label these groups as terrorists that they are, hampering law enforcement's ability to keep us safe. pic.twitter.com/1PTeXrq0Du

The letter alleges that the Azov Battalion “is so well-known, in fact, that the 115th Congress of the United States stated in its 2018 omnibus spending bill that ‘none of the funds made available by this act may be used to provide arms, training or other assistance to the Azov Battalion.’ The United Nations has chronicled human rights abuses and incidents of torture in this group’s relatively short history. Despite these facts, Azov has been recruiting, radicalizing, and training American citizens for years, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
In a September testimony to Congress, and in the subsequent report, Ali Soufan and his Soufan Center released a report that claimed Ukraine had become the world’s Nazi hub in recent years.
The report and testimony are mentioned in Max Rose’s letter.
As examples of what sort of threat white nationalism had become, Rose mentioned the gunman in Halle, Germany, who livestreamed his failed attempt to enter a Synagogue and as a result killed two civilians on the street on October 9th.
The letter also reminds of the March 15th Christchurch, New Zealand shooting, when a shooter streamed his attack on a Mosque and an Islamic Center and left 51 total dead.
The members of Congress request a response no later than November 4th, 2019.
In a sign of complete denial, Ukrainian national outlet Unian reported that “some military experts in Ukraine” suspect that the US Congress’ initiative “has signs of Russian special services’ possible operation.”
Other groups that, according to Max Rose and Co. should be added to the Foreign Terrorist Organization list include National Action (a neo-Nazi group based in the U.K.), and Nordic Resistance Movement (a neo-Nazi network from Scandinavia).
“It’s clear that the threat we face today is of a self-radicalized gunman,” Rose said. “Somebody who has been radicalized online, whether it’s in accordance with jihadi ideology or a global white nationalist, neo-Nazi group.”
Global far right terrorism has been on the rise in recent years, but since March 2019, when the Christchurch shooting took place there’s been a significant ramp-up. Despite that Max Rose is questioning why other Republican from the US Congress was backing up the letter to State Department.
“I’m baffled as to why my Republican colleagues have refused to sign on to this,” said Rose. “Not only are Azov Battalion, National Action, and Nordic Resistance Movement directly connected to inspiring attacks in the homeland, they’re direct purveyors of anti-Semitic ideologies that inspire attacks against Jews. It’s curious to me that the Republican Party, for the better half of this year, are claiming they’re against anti-Semitism. Here they have an opportunity to label it, but they’re not willing to stand against it.”
The Rise Above Movement, a U.S.-based street-fighting gang, sent some of its members to train with Azov in 2018, according to the FBI. And an American soldier was recently arrested for sharing bomb-making manuals online. According to the federal complaint, he’d discussed joining Azov.
And as mentioned earlier, Rose’s letter points out that the US government is well aware of Azov’s extremist leanings: In March 2018, Congress added a provision to its spending bill that barred the US from arming Azov in the fight against the separatists in Eastern Ukraine because of its ties to neo-Nazis.
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
Ironic. Joe Biden and John Kerry, whose family were given highly lucrative positions in Burisma Holdings. Both Democratic politicians, together with Schiff, whose 2013 Congress Campaign was assisted by an Ukrainian Arm’s Dealer. Not forgetting NAnZI Pelosi’s good friend Alexandra ‘Prop of Not – media blacklist’ Chalupa, who was involved in Russia Gate and is one of the activists, who wishes to impeach Trump and didn’t she work on the Clinton Presidential Campaign? Now how much did Victor Pinchuk hand over to the Clintons? Was it around $25 million?
Sorry, as I ramble, but, going back to Burisma Holdings, who were part of the Privatt Group, which was controlled by the oligarch Igor Kolomoisky, the Head of the European Community, over in Ukraine, who also funded the Nazi ‘Azov’ Battalion. Now the Dems have suddenly noticed the Nazis, that they set up, over in Ukraine? Funny that in a seriously dark way.
Well if they outlaw Kolomoisky then they must outlaw his longtime partner and Chabad Lubavich donor Gennadiy Bogolyubov too, and someone in Crown Heights will maybe not allow that. Also what about Kolomoiskys fresh Ukrainian President? There would be suddenly Nazi-Nasi’s everywhere…
Hi, excited this morning.. Sounds as if you are as well? Offering a correction for your last paragraph about Kolomoisky, did you mean to say head of the European Jewish Union? Looks like his fellow Jews denounced his being head of another org.. European Council of Jewish Communities (ECJC) His own kind despise him lol!
Thanks for the correction. It was back in 2014, when I first came across the greedy oligarch, that it was mentioned how he was connected to the European Jewish Community in Ukraine, and so owing to lazyness, I have been using the European Jewish Union as I could not get my head around the fact, that he could head something like that, whilst creating a Nazi battalion. There again, when you look at the Hungarian, of Jewish Faith, old Soros, who funded the violent Ukraine coup d’etat, and how fond he was of helping his Nazi friends, back in the 40s, why should I be surprised?
Must admit, I am glad Azov is getting the attention it so deserves.
Kolomoisky was a founding member of the European Jewish Parliament, which is not the European Jewisch Congress, but he got 120delgates together which were voted for by more then 400000 voters from all over Europe: https://www.jta.org/2012/02/14/global/new-european-jewish-parliament-riles-existing-european-jewish-leaders
Therefore not all of his own kind despise him, also he did built the 22-story Menorah Center, the largest Jewish community center in Europe: ‘ “More than any other single complex, the Menorah Center has empowered the Jewish community of Dnepropetrovsk to better serve as an anchor for Ukrainian Jewry in difficult times and as an engine for Jewish renewal,” said Zelig Brez, the community’s director. Completed in 2012 with funding from two Jewish oligarchs, the Menorah Center is a leviathan. Its 450,00 square feet of floor space includes a swanky event hall, a synagogue with black marble interior, a large Holocaust museum, luxurious ritual baths for men and women, and several kosher restaurants and cafes. At night, powerful spotlights illuminate the center’s seven domes, making the large complex on Sholem Aleichem Street look much like its namesake. “The idea here is also to build a presence, a great beacon of light that tells the Jews of Ukraine: ‘We are here. Come join us. The time for hiding is over,’ ” said Rabbi Shmuel Kaminezki, the energetic chief rabbi of Dnepropetrovsk and one of the Chabad movement’s most senior envoys to Ukraine.’ https://jewishweek.timesofisrael.com/giant-jcc-empowers-jews-in-ukraine/
Therefore he more likely a hero for his own kind – then being despised…
Maybe envy is more the word? Good points anyway, thanks for sharing.
““I’m baffled as to why my Republican colleagues have refused to sign on to this,” said Rose.” maybe they don’t like you.
This is the harm caused by ‘Russia is toxic’ pushed by our deep state. It kills even common sense legislation in Congress, call Nazis terrorists, those are Putin’s talking point’s, you are a Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard.
Russia will be deemed a terrorist state before anyone else is .
You’re a dumb canuck who should keep your dumb mouth shut, you retard.
Its almost free speach here. A lot indacates he is right in this. If You want selfies, grab a camera and go far from here.
Some might even send You money to stay away.
Not even normal Russians can be among the elected in Russia. Thats terror to me. The same for in other countries like fx USA, They are spoilers of the most important things in our systems and because they works well.
I know how painfull the truth is to most Russians and putin trolls but it is what it is and you can only change Russian history not ours , good day dik.
canada, like the cursed usg, should keep OUT of fucking up other countries, especially ukraine; stay on your OWN continent, is that quite clear, you SFB?
Do believe you are getting your nations muddled. Love this article, that Ralph pointed me to. Wonder how much old Chrystia Freeland made from Ukraine?

Thank you Ralph, for this link. I do like Oleg Tsarov.

This link, came up in one of the comments to the above. May or may not interest you and posting the link, before I read it. However, I do like the work of John Helmer.

Completely off topic.
I think that this may be HUGE in it’s significance. Check out what are posted following Pompeo’s tweet today.
https://twitter.com/SecPompeo/status/1189199170537689088
Pompeo is begging for war with Iran, courtesy of his pay masters. ‘We will invade 7 nations in 5 years’ General Wesley Clarke. I wonder why he donates to the Atlantic Council, when he receives funding from them?
There seems to be so much going on, amidst pure confusion.
You and I have discussed Iran in the past so I thought that you might be interested in this new morsel.
We are doing our best to check things out and to keep up. The thing that I remind myself of every day is that nothing is as it seems. Pompeo is no exception.
Just like when Pelosi went on her little trip to visit the King of Jordan the other day. What could possibly go wrong? Well, it looks like her activity gave up the locations that were attacked. Do I believe that they got Baghdadi on this little adventure? No. What I do think that they got was the documents and proof of the Traitors, the Americans that have been committing treason against the US and destroying Syria as only one of the 7 nations on that list.
Here is an audio discussing it if you are interested.
