Lithuania’s twisted hall of mirrors

Lithuania is a frontline State in the war against Russia. Unfortunately, it is a state whose values differ from those of other countries in the Western Alliance. Lithuania has never denazified, and never repudiated Nazi values, and do not appear poised to do so. Lithuania still considers the murderers of their Jewish population to be their Lithuanian national heroes.

The Lithuanian Government refers to a website titled “Disinformation Review” where they identify Russian disinformation and misinformation with articles titled:

  • Looking for distractions and driving divisions
  • Pants on fire
  • Russia’s twisted hall of mirrors
  • Kremlin’s tide of disinformation can’t wash away the truth
  • Kremlin fighting on many fronts – to avoid truth
  • How to buy friends and deceive people

And many more.

The Government of Lithuania lies just as often, and just as easily as does Russia. Lithuania looks in the mirror and objects to their Russian reflection.

A Soviet joke was: “The past is rewritten so quickly, you don’t know what’s going to happen yesterday”. Confused? Then, their job is done!

Soviets lied constantly, about everything. They taught their vassal states to do the same. Lithuania learned so professionally, they mastered their teachers in the abilities and application of denials, distortion and deceptions.

Australia speaking tour:

During a four city speaking tour of Australia, the J’Accuse! team of Michael Kretzmer, Silvia Foti and Grant Gochin spoke at almost forty different venues and events. The Lithuanian Government was invited to attend each and every event and provide their positions in an open, nonconfrontational platform. Lithuanian officials declined every single invitation, claiming they were just too “busy”. Not a single staff member supposedly had “availability”, nor was anyone “available” from any other Lithuanian embassy worldwide, nor was anyone “available” from Lithuania itself. This replicates their “availability” in England, America, South Africa and in Israel. The Lithuanian Government is simply too “busy” to be “available” or engage in a bilateral discussion about the Holocaust, and will communicate ONLY by dishonest talking points. Lithuania’s contempt for truth, and contempt for Jews, are as comprehensive as the lies told by Lithuania’s Russian enemy. Lithuania and Russia are simply two peas in a pod.

The Lithuanian Embassies in Australia, America, England, Israel and South Africa, have a focus on engaging Jews, and soliciting Jewish investment into Lithuania. Jews are their “product” and viewed as their potential financial reserves to be accessed. Lithuania will amend their sales puffery to whatever a Jew will welcome, or be tricked into. They depend on Jews having a lack of information and dishonest sales pitches being delivered into a vacuum. Therefore, they are unable to have an open honest conversation in a public forum, lest the authentic facts be accidentally addressed. Lithuania’s multi decade Holocaust frauds have trapped themselves into a corner, all of their own making.

In prior centuries, Lithuanian and Russian authorities were able to plunder Jewish assets at will, on an “as needed” basis. Now, Lithuania has to solicit Jews like obsequious postulants. And so Lithuania must alter history to make themselves appear palatable. They do not see the irony.

I have offered the Government of Lithuania an untold number of “offramps” to try to redeem themselves in public for their Holocaust frauds. They have refused every one. Their lies are exposed worldwide; truth is evident to everyone else in the world.

Lithuania has been and continues to be caught red-handed committing multi decade Holocaust fraud. Lithuania’s unwillingness to broach truth about the greatest crime in the history of the world, signifies their likeliness to lie about everything, again.

Rigged courts

Lithuania rigged their courts to protect Jonas Noreika, a genocidal murderer of Jews. This proves they would even more likely rig their legal system for a business dispute between a Lithuanian and a Jew. After all, 14,500 murder victims must surely have more significance than a business dispute over money?. Due diligence for investors shows that Lithuania cannot be considered a trustworthy business destination. At a minimum, fiduciaries must bring these issues to the attention of investors, or face their own legal exposure.

Lithuania can no longer maintain and contain their lies. They cannot engage in conversation because they have no defense. They can only resort to Soviet style character assassinations of the messengers, or, intimidation such as threats of criminal charges for exposing the truth.

Lithuanian capitulation will not be because of Lithuanian shame, regret or sincerity. Their continued strong-arm tactics, diversions, distractions and deceptions reveal their true sentiment, and it is as repellant now, as it was then. Lithuanian capitulation will be because every other avenue has been blocked for them. They have intentionally shown their hand so many times, only an ignorant fool would now give them credibility.

Lithuania’s barking about Russian dishonesty is the most hypocritical act since Stalin claimed to be a humanitarian.

There are 193 member countries in the United Nations. There are 27 member countries in the European Union. Why would any rational investor consider investing in Lithuania? There are so many better choices.

Caveat Emptor.
