SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER
T hank you for taking the time to read THE BARNES REVIEW. A magazine without readers is a worthless pile of paper. Remember, we do what very few are “crazy” enough to do: bring history into accord with the facts in an era where doing so can be accompanied by unpleasant repercussions. Our lead story this issue is from author Mike Mains, who offers us a biography of Georges Remi, aka Hergé, an anti-Communist cartoonist active during Germany’s occupation of Belgium during WWII. Though Remi was responsible for creating one of the most popular fictional characters in history—Tintin—his dislike for Communism was not appreciated by the post-WWII masters of the universe: the USSR, the United States, France and the United Kingdom.
The Red propagandists, infiltrators and agitators who infected the West during the era insisted Josef Stalin was our great ally, and Communism a harmless— even beneficial—political system. These kinds of useful idiots still exist today in politics, the news media and academia. Despite attempts to destroy Remi’s career, he continued to criticize Communism until he died in 1983. (See page 4.) Pertinent to those interested in relations between the USSR and the United States in the mid-20th century is an article by Canadian historian Rémi Tremblay. He insists the Cold War did not start in the U.S.A. but in Canada. It was, after all, Igor Gouzenko, a talented Soviet cipher clerk working in the Russian Embassy in Ottawa, who blew the lid off the massive spy network that managed to steal high-level Western military secrets—including nuclear tech. These revelations derailed UN attempts to curtail global nuclear proliferation. (See page 8.)
In this issue we also discuss the career of Henry Kissinger, who died last year at the ripe (one might say rotten) old age of 100. And, while most media outlets eulogized him as either a saint or a demon, with no grey area in between, we here at TBR reject such simplified analyses. Thus we enlisted Philip Giraldi, a former CIA counter-terrorism specialist and military intelligence officer quite familiar with 20th-century history, to craft what we believe is an evenhanded and honest biography of Kissinger. Be sure to let us know what you think. (See page 16.)
Recently, as we reported in a previous issue of TBR, Poland has demanded reparations from Germany for alleged war crimes. In response to this clamor, TBR author John Wear makes the case that it may actually be Poland that owes Germany billions of dollars in reparations. See his analysis starting on page 20. There’s much more in this edition of TBR, including a fascinating article on the origins of the Red Paint People of the ancient northeast coast of North America, but, as you read this issue, ask yourself: “Where else can I get this kind of information?” If you agree that TBR is unique, please consider making a donation of any amount to our efforts. Needless to say, in this day and age, we can’t continue to do it without you . —PAUL ANGEL, Executive Editor

A JOURNAL OF POLITICALLY INCORRECT HISTORY
MARCH/APRIL 2024 ❖ VOLUME XXX ❖ NUMBER 2
TABLE OF CONTENTS
BELGIAN PAYS HEAVY PRICE FOR ANTI-COMMUNIST CARTOONS
BY MIKE MAINS Georges Remi was an anti-Communist cartoonist operating in Nazi-occupied Belgium who created one of the most popular characters in comic book history: Tintin. Tintin was read by people of all ages across the free world, but that could not protect the Belgian from accusations of “collaboration with the Nazis” for exposing the horrors of life under Red rule.
THE GOUZENKO AFFAIR AND THE ORIGINS OF THE COLD WAR
BY RÉMI TREMBLAY It is an open secret that the Soviet Union ran a very effective spy network in the United States, eventually convincing dozens of U.S. citizens to pass nuclear and other secrets to their Red masters. These revelations eventually spurred the Cold War. Interestingly, however, the Cold War did not start in the United States, but in the Canadian capital of Ottawa.
AN ANALYSIS OF THE CAREER OF HENRY ALFRED KISSINGER
BY PHILIP GIRALDI Former CIA field analyst Philip Giraldi offers TBR readers an unbiased look at Henry Kissinger and the career of this infamous advisor to U.S. presidents and politicians. Kissinger has been characterized by some as an international foreign policy genius and by others as a stone-cold war criminal. As you will see, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
DOES POLAND REALLY DESERVE REPARATIONS FROM GERMANY?
BY JOHN WEAR, J.D. 20 In September 1939, Adolf Hitler invaded Poland to stop the slaughter of his ethnic brethren by the post-World War I Polish army and Marxist/Jewish assassination squads. More than 58,000 ethnic Germans were killed in 1939 alone, spurring Hitler to act. Now, Poland is demanding reparations from Germany for alleged crimes. But who owes whom is the real question. Researcher John Wear answers that in detail.
BLACK, BROWN, ASIAN & SLAVIC VOLUNTEERS IN HITLER’S ARMY
INTERVIEW WITH VERONICA KUZNIAR-CLARK Adolf Hitler hated all who were not of pure Aryan blood, those blond, blue-eyed people exemplified by the Nordic race. This characterization of National Socialist dogma is, however, completely false, as you will see in this unexpurgated interview with the courageous author of the eye-opening—and suppressed— book Hitler’s Black Nazis.
WHO WERE THE RED PAINT PEOPLE OF ANCIENT NORTH AMERICA?
BY MARC ROLAND Five millennia ago a group of people throve along the northeast coast of North America. Unlike any other American Indian group until thousands of years later, these people had unparalleled deep-water maritime fishing skills, hunting shark, whale and swordfish. Interestingly, they covered their dead in red ochre as did ancient Europeans. If they were not American Indians, then who were they?
FR. LEONARD FEENEY AND THE ST. BENEDICT CENTER REVISITED CONCLUSION
BY ANTONIUS J. PATRICK Fr. Leonard Feeney was a courageous, honest and outspoken Catholic priest who, despite the threats to his career, could not sit by silently as perversion infected the church, and Marxist beliefs engulfed America. For this, he was shunned, shamed and silenced—all for telling the truth. Here is part two of our story on Fr. Feeney and the St. Benedict Center.
TBR INTERVIEWS PROMINENT CRITIC OF JEWISH POWER INTERVIEW WITH DR. KEVIN MACDONALD
TBR likes to give voice to those who have been smeared by the mainstream and let them tell their side of the story. In this issue, author and radio host James Edwards interviews Dr. Kevin Macdonald, whose books on Jewish survival strategy have gotten him in hot water with his fellow academicians.
