Fascism’s Dark Side<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

An earlier article called Ukraine the epicenter of European fascist reemergence. Kiev putschists reflect it. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Last Friday’s Odessa massacre shows how far they’ll go. No-holds-barred barbarism explains it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What happened exceeded the horrors of early reports. Neo-Nazi Right Sector thugs set Odessa’s Trade Union House ablaze.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
People were trapped inside. Dozens were massacred. Scores more were injured. Many remain missing. They’re either dead or in neo-Nazi hands.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If alive, they face torture and other forms of abuse. They won’t survive. They might as well be dead.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Early reports way underestimated what happened. It’s multiples worse than reported.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On May 5, Live Journal (LJ) headlined<\/span><\/a> “How the thugs killed Odessa inhabitants in the Trade Union House (TUH) – the details of bloody scenario.” <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Casualties way exceed early reports. Neo-Nazis trapped Odessans inside TUH. Unwitnessed massacre followed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Setting the building ablaze was strategy. It was done to conceal mass murder. Ordinary Ukrainians were slaughtered in cold blood.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nearby tents were set on fire. Doing so preceded what followed. “Federalism supporters had no Molotov cocktails prepared in advance,” said LJ.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Where inside the building did fire erupt,” it asked? Right Sector thugs awaited there before slaughtering people began. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Police stood by and did nothing. They conspired with fascist killers. So did Odessa firefighters. They “only appeared when massive entrance doors were burned through,” said LJ.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Only in a single room in the five-story building with ceilings over 3 meters high had fire visible from outside.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Who had access to TUH’s roof? “Perhaps those who in advance got the keys to locked steel gratings protecting the roof doors,”said LJ.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
They were armed and dangerous. They were well prepared in advance. Charred bodies were shown on upper floors untouched by fire.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How did they get there? Who’s responsible? They were murdered in advance. Things were made to seem like fire consumed them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The same bodies from another viewpoint:<\/div>\n
