What happens when the silent part is spoken aloud?

For decades, the world has known that Lithuania is the worlds factory for Holocaust disinformation and misinformation. Lithuania‘s Holocaust fraud has received a vast amount of international press, and is the subject of many documentaries. Yet, there has not been one iota of progress within Lithuania towards Holocaust truth, regardless of which Lithuanian political party has been in power.

Recently, Lithuanian legislator Žemaitaitis has received press for his openly antisemitic statements. What Žemaitaitis did, was to say the “silent part” out aloud. Vocalizing actual Lithuanian positions served Žemaitaitis well, by winning him approximately 15% of the national vote, and elevating him into the national government.

The official Lithuanian narrative is roughly as follows:

  1. Jews were strangers in Lithuanian lands
  2. Lithuanians were subjugated by Jews.
  3. Jews betrayed Lithuania
  4. Jews were Communists, and Jews were responsible for whatever Russians did.
  5. Jews were murdering Lithuanians.
  6. Nazis were the ones who murdered Jews.
  7. Lithuanians were doing all in their power to save Jews, but were just simply unable.
  8. Lithuanians saw nothing, knew nothing, heard nothing, but while they were completely ignorant of the Holocaust taking place, they were all busy trying (unsuccessfully) to save Jews.
  9. Their Partisan heroes were fighting for all Lithuanians, they were simply unable to help the Jewish ones.
  10. No Lithuanian Partisan ever murdered a Jew.
  11. By collaborating with Soviets, Jews are responsible for their own slaughter.
  12. Lithuanians are entirely innocent and merely victims.

In fact, only 0.04% of Lithuanians were rescuers, leaving 99.96% as perpetrators, collaborators or bystanders.

Via these Holocaust inversions, distortions, and outright frauds, Lithuania has elevated their murderers of Jews, into their national heroes, and erased Lithuanian crimes against Jews. The Government of Lithuania created an entire government agency – the Genocide Center – to “study“ history, and to re-write factual history into the above stated fiction. This way, Lithuania managed to NOT punish a single Holocaust perpetrator, rather, they re-defined their murderers into their national heroes.

The strategy followed by the Lithuanian Government, along with the collusion of almost every branch of government has been described here: https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/lithuanian-holocaust-fraud/

Žemaitaitis is merely a product of official Lithuanian ideology; created, funded and enforced by the government of Lithuania. Žemaitaitis is not a lone wolf, he is merely an example of a morally bankrupt system. Žemaitaitis spoke aloud what he was supposed to have said only behind closed doors.

 

Multiple successive US Ambassadors to Lithuania have forcefully addressed the Lithuanian Government‘s official Holocaust fraud – to no avail. The US State Department has addressed these deceptions at the highest levels of American Government, to no avail. The Chairman of Yad Vashem appeared in front of the Lithuanian Prime Minister and Parliament, begging them to begin telling the truth – to no avail.

 

Even Lithuania’s most fervent facilitator, best friend, and front-operation for their Jewish outreach, the very same entity who guided Lithuania’s entry into EU and NATO, The American Jewish Committee, has at long last displayed actual conscience, and finally objected to Lithuania’s affront. All to no avail.

 

It will now fall to the Trump Administration to determine if this Lithuanian ideology is one which America will continue to support.
