National Cultural Development under Communism – CIA document written in June of 1957 and approved for release in August of 1999.

PDF – CIA-RDP78-02771R000200090002-6

This document is a condemnation of the human rights violation by the Russian Tsars, and centers around the violation of two proclamations signed by Lenin and Stalin on November 15th and December 7th 1917, respectively, with regards to the peoples mentioned in the following quote extracted from page two.

“Muslims of Russia, Tatars of the Volga and the Crimea, Kirghiz and Sarts of Siberia and Turkestan, Turks and Tatars of the Transcaucasia, Chechens and Mountain Peoples of the Caucasus, and all you whose mosques and prayer houses have been trampled upon by the Tsars and the oppressors of Russia.”

On page ten is where it makes reference to the eradication of the Tartarian empire:

“Or let us take the matter of history, which, along with religion, language and literature, constitute the core of a people’s cultural heritage. Here again the Communists have interfered in a shameless manner. For example, on 9 August 1944, the Central committee of the Communist Party, sitting in Moscow, issued directive ordering the party’s Tartar Provincial Committee “to proceed to a scientific revision of the history of Tartaria, to liquidate serious shortcomings and mistakes of a nationalistic character committed by individual writers and historians in dealing with Tartar history.” In other words, Tartar history was to be rewritten–let us be frank, was to be falsified–in order to eliminate references to Great Russian aggressions and to hide the facts of the real course of Tartar-Russian relations. And this was no isolated case. In every Muslim area within the USSR, historians, on orders of the Communist Party, have rewritten history to distort the facts so that the Russians appear always in a good light. Needless to say, histories which present the facts truthfully have been withdrawn and destroyed, so that the present and future generations of Muslims are forever denied the chance of learning the true facts of their nations’ past.”

As this document was written during the Russia/U.S. cold war, it was no doubt part of the U.S. administration’s efforts to ensure needed Muslim support.

“Officials in both the Truman and Eisenhower administrations identified Islam as a potential bulwark against the spread of atheistic communism into the Middle East. As the United States supplanted Great Britain as the hegemonic power in the region following World War II, traditional European misperceptions of a stagnant and monolithic “Muslim world” migrated across the Atlantic and became entrenched in fledgling area-studies programs throughout a number of American universities.

These mischaracterizations soon permeated the ranks of the policymaking community as well, causing State Department officials to perceive Islam as a useful weapon against the spread of Soviet communism.

The State Department also exploited Sa’ud’s perceived responsibilities as the guardian of the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina in order to discourage him from establishing any connections with the “God-less” Soviets.

Officials with the United States Information Agency (USIA) also targeted the Saudi populace with a grass-roots propaganda campaign that featured a variety of materials contrasting the violent oppression of Muslims in communist countries with the spiritual tolerance of the United States.” –  FAITH FIGHTS COMMUNISM: THE UNITED STATES AND ISLAM IN SAUDI ARABIA DURING THE COLD WAR – University of North Carolina – thesis submitted by Robert M. Morrison

The released CIA document is important as it not only mentions the total eradication of the Tartarian culture, but also exposes the fact that history is often re-written to support their narratives.

The World’s Columbian Exposition was held in Chicago in 1883, and was one of several world fairs held in various countries around the world in the 1800’s.

The stated main objectives of the world fairs was to showcase new technological and industrial advancements, and share cultural, economic, educational and social ideologies amongst nations.

The most fascinating aspects of the fairs however, may have been the astonishing architectural work found in the structures built for the exhibitions, such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Crystal Palace in London.

The breathtaking grandeur and beauty of the Columbian exposition placed it amongst the most memorable of the world exhibitions, and is the reason I elaborate on it in my book.

The photos below expand upon the research I share in the book, and help to illustrate its shear magnificence, and expose the implausible timeline given to build the entire complex. View chapter 9, Our Hidden History for an analyses of the questionable timeline given for the construction of the fair grounds.

Construction of the site is said to have begun in the middle of winter… in January or February of 1891, and the filling and leveling was completed in May of 1891. The picture of Jackson Park below however, is dated July, 1891, and we can clearly see that the site was nowhere near prepped for construction. To make things more difficult, the chosen site was a lagoon in Jackson Park which meant that piles would have to be driven deep to the hard pan to secure the buildings’ foundations.

To make matters worse, Chicago was faced with one of the worse winter storms in years, slowing down the construction process.

The Grand Basin, Chicago World Fair, doors opened in May of 1893

According to a University of Virginia thesis produced by Julie K. Rose:

“A Presidential Proclamation recognizing Chicago’s compliance with fundraising restrictions was issued on December 24, 1890, and the Fair officially belonged to Chicago. Chicago lost no time in beginning its preparations, starting with a governing body to oversee the World’s Columbian Exposition… With this political/corporate body in place, the work of planning the Exposition began in 1890. The construction of buildings and the choice of a site were the first items on the agenda.” – The World’s Columbian Exposition: Idea, Experience, Aftermath – Julie K. Rose – 1996, 1997 – https://xroads.virginia.edu/~MA96/WCE/title.html

According to the Illinois Library, construction of the site began in January of 1891, with a crew of 40,000 workers. David F. Burg however, in his book Chicago’s White City of 1893 states that dredging began on February 11th, 1891, with a crew of approximately 14,000 men.

How is it possible to plan such a massive undertaking in just a few weeks. The fair consisted of 386 structures, including the largest building in the world at the time. basins, fountains, statues, bridges, midways, a moving sidewalk, 6 mile long elevated train, elaborate electrical system that powered and lit the entire site, and much more. To suggest that this undertaking… from the planning stages to opening day… would have taken just over 2 years, is absurd. It would have taken years to simply plan the event.

Let’s take a look at some of the more significant buildings erected for the exhibition.

Quadruple Expansion Condensing Engine by Allis and Company

Boiler Room – Machinery Hall

These examples are but a fraction of the structures built for the fair, but help to illustrate the immensity of the project.

We must consider the era in which these structures were built, and the tools and transportation methods available during this time of horse and buggy.

We must factor in the time required to manufacture the steel beams and trusses, and mill the staggering amount of lumber needed for all the buildings, and their transportation to the site. Consider that the Manufacturers building alone required 17,000,000 feet of lumber, 12,000,000 pounds of steel and 2,000,000 pounds of iron for its construction. And this is but one of 386 structures built for the fair.

The amount of concrete and rebar used for the buildings, walkways, fountains, statues and bridges is also quite astounding. Innumerable yards of concrete would have been necessary… not to mention the large amount of lumber necessary for building the forms.

These structures would also have had to been built, leaving enough time to set up the 65,000 exhibits, the power generators, the boilers, the 120,000 incandescent bulbs that lit up the fair, install and connect over 100 miles of wiring through an underground subway, set up the gift shops, concession stands and restaurants that could seat over 7,000, and much more.

As a means to justify this impossible timeline, an attempt has been made to sell us this idea that most of the buildings erected for the fair were “temporary structures” and just covered with stucco to “save time”.

A closer inspection of the site however easily proves the absurdity of this statement. Considering the immensity of many of these buildings, the fact remains that trying to build any temporary structure of such large proportions, to then be covered in stucco, would still remain an undertaking of matching proportion to building a permanent structure.

To say that any of the large buildings, especially those of the 14 grand palaces, are “temporary structures”, is preposterous.

A tent, tipi, hut, shed or small building is a temporary structure. Massive buildings… amongst the largest and most beautifully designed architectural wonders in the world, spanning acres and requiring massive steel frames, beams and trusses, and built with utmost precision and fine craftsmanship, cannot be considered “temporary structures”.

I have added the following images to illustrate what Winnipeg was like during the time when the Manitoba College was said to have been built. The images however, raise even more questions regarding our historical accounts.

In an article published on the Manitoba Historical Society Archives titled “Early Days in Winnipeg”, the following quote illustrates the difficulties Winnipeggers were faced with trying to obtain their much needed supplies.

“In 1871 and 1872 it was simply impossible to obtain anything the hungry horde of new comers demanded. In August, 1872, the first manufactory of furniture was begun by the firm of Bishop & Shelton… In the year of the opening of Manitoba College (1871) the writer found it impossible to purchase a chair in Winnipeg. Benches were made for the college, and the newcomers in their houses often used trunks and boxes in place of chairs. These were matters for which no one was to blame, and simply arose from the influx of people and the imperfect transportation facilities.”

Brick manufacturing was non existent in the area at the time (further examined in my book), and to waste valuable cargo space on the steam boat to bring in thousands of bricks and other supplies needed to build the Manitoba College would have been absurd, considering its relative unimportance to the colonists survival in Winnipeg’s harsh climate.

The first 2 photographs are of Winnipeg in 1871…

Main St. looking NE 1871 – Ernest Hutchins

Although we cannot use paintings or drawings as evidence, it does closely resemble the photograph taken of the same area at the time.

The painting is accredited to Ernest Hutchins… however, he was only born in 1880 in England, and did not come to Canada until 1907. Why would a painting of Winnipeg from 1871 be accredited to a man who would only arrive in Winnipeg 36 years after this painting was created?

In the same article titled “Early Days in Winnipeg”, we can also find 2 other drawings that closely resemble the painting. The first one however is dated to 1869, and the second to 1871.

The source of these drawings is not listed.

Although drawings made of the same area in the same year should look alike, we must point out that in the 1869 picture there are 2 tipis in the foreground and only 1 in the 1971 version. However the painting depicts 2 tipis and more closely resembles the drawing from 1869. It is doubtful that the tipi’s would have remained in that same place for 2 years, as the inhabitants would have moved around for the winter seasons. The pictures would indicate that Winnipeg did not change or grow at all during that time.

The following 2 photographs were apparently taken in 1872, and I have added them to further illustrate the state of Winnipeg in this era.

Considering the size of the town during this period, and the living conditions and difficulty in obtaining supplies due to undeveloped supply lines, it is unreasonable to consider that the colonists would decide to undertake the monumental task of building the impressive Manitoba College, for a handful of students.
