London Fog, Part II? The Second in the Lithuanian Government’s “London Series”



Lithuanian Government Invests in 2nd PR Conference at University College London, 17-18 Dec.

Another Graywash manipulation of a venerable Western institution? It happened once back in 2011. Open letter then issued was signed by the head of UCL’s Jewish Studies.

THE NEW PETITION

MONICA LOWENBERG LAUNCHES PUBLIC PETITION, BASED ON LETTER TO AMBASSADOR ASTA SKAISGIRYTĖ-LIAUŠKIENĖ (VETERAN OF 2009 BOOK FAIR FIASCO);  UCL ALUMNUS PROTESTS TO PROVOST

After investing heavily in reburying with full honours and glorifying the 1941 Nazi puppet prime minister (in May 2012),  sectors of the Lithuanian government are investing in a second lavish London conference (in Dec. 2012) to cover up these policies with Jewish PR. Issues on the table include the ongoing glorification of local Holocaust perpetrators (most recently in a “peace park” in the capital), and support for the Prague Declaration of 2008, and other Double Genocide revisionist projectsDefending History has proposed constructive solutions to the issues at hand.

Vytautas Landsbergis, Rezistencijos pradžia [“The Beginning of the Resistance: June 1941: Documents on the Six-Week Provisional Government of Lithuania”], Vilnius 2012.


MEP Vytautas Landsbergis, former speaker of the Lithuanian parliament and leader of the Lithuanian independence movement in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, unveiled his latest polemic at a ceremony cum press conference held on the first floor of the Signatarų Namai building in Vilnius’s Old Town on September 11, 2012, the historic site where Lithuanian independence was proclaimed from the balcony to the street below sometime around February 16, 1918.

This small book—there’s only 22 pages written by Landsbergis, the rest is a motley collection of supposedly historic documents—is an attempt to answer criticism of the Lithuanian Government and Catholic Church’s ceremonial reburial of Lithuanian Nazi puppet prime minister Ambrazevičius-Brazaitis and other concurrent celebrations in the spring of 2012.
