A weaponized Ukrainian Canadian succeeds where his Nazi collaborator father failed
You gotta wonder: What was America really fighting for in World War II?
In our interview on Immigrants as a Weapon Radio, Alex Boykowich mentioned something in passing that caught my attention: Bogdan Chomiak — Chrystia Freeland’s uncle and son of Nazi collaborator Michael Chomiak — worked for USAID in Ukraine and then parlayed that experience into a lucrative agribusiness investment gig.
I looked into it and it’s true. Bogdan Chomiak moved to Ukraine soon after the end of the Soviet Union and got to business, fluidly moving from the private sector to government work and back again. He spent a decade at USAID, the soft-power arm of American Empire. There, he led efforts to privatize land and to open collectivized farmland to foreign investment and control.
I gotta say that this is pretty impressive. It means that Bogdan helped carry to fruition with the aid of the United States something that his Nazi collaborator father failed to achieve while working with Germany. He was able to cleanse Ukraine of socialism — or “kike communism,” as his dad and his Nazi pals liked to call it.
Here’s a 2004 article from USAID’s own newspaper describing what Bogdan was up to:
Ukrainian peasants love privatization! Look at how happy she is! She’s swooning and can barely stay on her feet! Wonder how these two empowered peasants are doing now? No doubt hanging out at Davos with all the money they’ve been making off their privatized plot of collectivized land.
“We had three goals in mind — and end to collective farming, fair distribution of land, and creation of a land market. The rich agricultural land of Ukraine is one of its greatest assets, and helping to put those assets into the hands of its citizens is a powerful way to hasten the country’s transition to a market economy.” — Bogdan Chomiak
