A Pulitzer Prize winner made the most disgusting remark ever concerning journalism: "In agreement with the New York Times and the Soviet authorities, his official dispatches always reflect the official opinion of the Soviet region and not his own." - NYT's Moscow correspondent and Pulitzer Prize winner Duranty. FPF - May 9th 2006 - Today a week ago, finally the journalist/researcher who wrote about the Holocaust that took the life of up to ten million people got his commemoration plaque in bronze too. Most people will never visit the New York Times building in New York, but there another commemoration plaque can be seen in the Prize gallery: for their journalist/correspondent who got a Pulitzer Prize for his denial of the Holocaust. Last Tuesday the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UK) honored the life and work of the outstanding journalist/researcher Gareth Jones, the man who dared to write about the immense suffering and death of the millions of human beings. He was one of the very few to report on this enormous massacre, a genocidal Holocaust in the beginning of the Thirties, which is believed to have caused up to 10 million deaths. But now - in 2006 - a bronze plaque was unveiled in the Old College Quad of his old university, by his niece Dr. Margaret Siriol Colley. OFFICIAL RECORDS DECLASSIFIED Dr. Colley has dedicated many years to studying his life and work, and is the author of 'A Manchukuo Incident' which investigates the political intrigue surrounding his murder by Chinese bandits in 1935. Official records declassified since the publishing of that book by the respective secret services - MI6-KGB-CIA etc. - show that Gareth's killers probably were acting on behalf of the Soviet secret service NKVD/GPU, as it was called then. The Soviet Union at that time was run by the same group which had been ordering and perpetrating the earlier by Gareth described Holocaust in the Ukraine, where it is known as the Holodomor.* What nobody was allowed to see or write about, Gareth Jones went to see for himself, with the advantage of knowing the Russian language. In his 'Letter from America' for the BBC, Alistair Cook on Monday, 23 June, 2003, in his broadcast 'The maddest and most criminal of tyrants' said - when he as a seasoned reporter heard the horrible but 'underreported' story about this Holocaust for the first time (and he was British): ''1933 was the first year of Stalin's triumph in enforcing his collectivist plan. In shorter words - in that year 4.2 million Ukrainians starved to death, another 1.7 millions were driven away to outdoor threadbare camps and left for the perishing winter to kill them off. NO WESTERN REPORTER THAT I'VE HEARD ABOUT MANAGED TO GET A WORD ABOUT THE UKRAINE THROUGH TO HIS/HER PAPER. We did read of public trials of journalists, party officials, intellectuals, who were said to have conspired against the party and some of them certainly had but all of them were - as the polite word had it - liquidated. In London Mr Bernard Shaw commented: "Stalin was quite right, he was surrounded by enemies." [Url.: http://tinyurl.com/jzrqx] [ ] "Gareth reported the tragic plight of the starving peasants. He shared his food with them and even slept with them in their primitive cottages. “There is no bread. We are dying!
