The Revisionist World Today

"Twenty-seven million soldiers and citizens died during the war [WWII], many of them fighting what turned out to be some of the most decisive battles." So says Eleanor Hall (The World Today; ABCRN, today).

Then Emma Griffith says, "Twenty seven million people – soldiers and civilians – died fighting Hitler's army."

Shit of the horse.

Of course, for decades it has been known that Stalin and his murdering henchmen pumped up the figures (more like 11 million -- that's less than half the ABC's figure, which was the Communist Party's propaganda figure) to cover up the missing millions of their own citizens that they had murdered. Then in the 1960s, '70s and '80s, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Robert Conquest made the reality clearer, to which Auntie constantly and shamefully turned a blind eye.

Would Eleanor Hall and Emma Griffiths say "Hitler killed three million Jews"? Of course not. It really is not good enough that the ABC is so slack with history -- time, and time again when it comes to this subject (of which, more in the Book of Days). It's almost as though the ABC, unlike the rest of the world, has never heard of what really happened.

I note, too, that the Governor-General repeats the lie. Why not, he probably learned it from Auntie, as our kiddies do.

Today's is a righteous anger turtle on behalf of 16 million people missing from Auntie's persistent creative arithmetic.
