The Bandera started rewriting their history prior to 1943 . They became less anti-semitic, more anti- nazi, and leaning toward democracy. This tendency was noted throughout CIA documents that dealt with them and released under the Nazi War Crime Disclosure Act. The CIA saw through the ruse and the common theme- "the Bandera are lying again" goes across almost all documents.
After Bandera's release in 1944, the emigres had to get him up to speed on what his organization was doing. Bandera promptly rejected any move toward democracy. By 1946, the CIA took note that the terrorist Stepan Bandera was the undisputed leader of the entire Ukrainian diaspora in America . " BANDERA is still the leader of the secret Ukrainian nationalist organization OUN, which controls UHWR, ABN, and UPA. BANDERA is considered as a successor to KONOVALETS. MELNYK is the head of a. small group of dissident OUN elements, mostly formerly'pro-German."
One of his demands that the US State Department acquiesced to was inculcating nationalism in the entire diaspora. In 1953 Bandera was formally elected leader of the worldwide Diaspora . He was the leader until his death. By 1980, the US emigre population became recognized as solely represented by Bandera OUNb in their politics. They never were Democrats or Republicans. Ukrainian emigre children in America are still brought up to be Bandera ultra-nationalists.
By 1950's America's executive branch regretted dealing with them at all. From 1946- 1957 over 200,000 Ukrainian emigres flocked to American shores . Almost to the person they comprised the core of Bandera's Nazi SS Battalions. The internal conversation for emigres in America shifted from whether a communist, monarchist, or nationalist made a better Ukrainian to who is a better, more committed Ukrainian nationalist/ultra-nationalist/nazi.
The Real Reason for the Korean and Vietnam Wars" The Bandera by this time included many national emigre groups the ABN auspice. The Polish-American Congress, Baltic emigres, and Eastern European emigre nations in exile were under Bandera's leadership. The fledgling CIA underestimated the nationalist emigre population thinking it was only 500,000 people. This made the OUN's first intervention in American politics easy.
One of the founders of the China Lobby and chief strategist Yaroslav Stetsko(Bandera's second in command) brought the first million man march to Washington DC during the Eisenhower years. In one day the OUNb changed the course of American policy from recognizing China, to a policy which plunged the United States into the Korean war in which 50,000 American lives were lost. Syngman Rhee president of South Korea and Chiang Kai-shek president of Taiwan were both ultra-nationalist leaders and close partners of ABN leader Yaroslav Stetsko. Leading the way was Stetsko friend and co-nationalist, Senator Joe McCarthy.
The Luce-Hearst-Liebman-Stetsko China Lobby wasted no time ratcheting up the propaganda and political pressure in Congress and on the President to act. America could not let "democratic" South Korea fall to communism as it had done to Chiang's China. Christian America went to war against the satanic Godless communists, or at least that was how it was sold.
The Real Reason for the Vietnam WarIt is unquestionable that the men and women that served in these wars were heroes. President Johnson, who made the decision to go into the Vietnam war did so to protect Democracy. He just never said which democracy he was protecting. South Vietnam was an ultra-nationalist nation like 3rd Reich Germany or the Ukrainian Bandera envisioned. He sent our troops to put the question of a nationalist America off until a quieter time. Our soldiers protected American democracy at home.
[President Lyndon Johnson] later recalled: "I knew Harry Truman and Dean Acheson had lost their effectiveness from the day the Communists took over in China. I believed that the loss of China had played a large role in the rise of Joe McCarthy. And I knew that all these problems, taken together, were chickenshit compared with what might happen if we lost Vietnam." VanDeMark, Brian (1995). Into the Quagmire: Lyndon Johnson and the Escalation of the Vietnam War. Oxford University Press . p. 25
In May 1964 the Asian Peoples Anti-Communist League (APACL), created and steered by Yaroslav Stetsko and Marvin Liebman asked for US help to bring the war to the communists and stated: "Every free nation should support the Republic of Vietnam, which is waging the war for the "freedom of the whole free world." Its not surprising Ukraine is echoing these same words today.
Stetsko's purpose was to surround the Soviet Union with Nationalist countries that would work actively to destroy both it and Russia by creating ultra national revolutions within the Soviet Union.
On August 2, 1964 the United States was at war in Vietnam."
Bandera's List of AccomplishmentsThis small list provides highlights on some of the pro-democracy work of the Bandera during the last 50 years. In all that time, the nationalists methods have never changed. Every leader other than Petliura and Bandera were under Yaroslav Stetsko's leadership. Stetsko had become Congress' leading anti-Communist expert.
Ukraine/Galicia- Simon Petliura- 50,000 civilians murdered in 1 year of power.
Stepan Bandera, 500,000 civilians murdered including 200,000 Jews, 3,000,000 war prisoners starved to death in concentration camps.
South Korea -- Syngman Rhee, in 1949 between 10-20,000 murders at Jeju Island. 1950 ordered 200,000 executions at Bodo Island, 1951 Geochang 719 executions including over 300 children
