(1) Anti-Semites on both sides? by Peter Myers, March 19, 2014

 From 1991 to now, Ukraine has languished under Yeltsin-type regimes,
with the economy and media in the hands of Oligarchs, largely Jewish.
One can easily sympathize with the revolutionaries.

But that's not why the West supports them. The reason is geo-political:
Putin stands in the way of the Global agenda, and must be deprived of
Ukraine, Russia's traditional backyard.

The Ukraine revolutionaries have genuine grievances, but they cannot see
that Putin has already pioneered the route they must take: overthrowing
the Oligarchs (or most of them), establishing economic independence, and
getting rid of subversive foreign NGOs.

They should ally with him, not fight him. As it is, though, their minds
are distorted by their remembrance of the Holodomor, which they
interpret as a genocide of Ukrainians by Russians.

If that be a true account of it, how come Russians had not carried out
similar genocides outside the Bolshevik period?

The reality is that the Holodomor occurred during the contest between
Stalin and Trotsky for the control of the Soviet Union. Stalin was in
power, but Trotsky was on the sidelines calling the shots, setting the
agenda which Stalin had to implement. Thus rapid Industrialization, the
militarization of labour, and suppression of the peasants.

During the Cold War, Stalin was understandably seen as an Oriental
Despot, instigator of the Berlin blockade and the Korean war, and cruel
master of the Gulag; but in hindsight it can be seen that he also
overthrew a specifically JEWISH communism - the kind imposed by Lenin
and Trotsky - and replaced it with a RUSSIAN variant. Further, he
rejected the 1946 Baruch Plan for World Government, drafted by American
Jews David Lilienthal and Bernard Baruch.

In the early postwar years, observing that the creation of Israel had
given Russian Jews a rival centre of loyalty, he instituted policies to
train non-Jews to fill the high-level positions hitherto monopolized by
Jews, thus making the Soviet Union independent of them.

And he similarly took on the Jewish elites running the East European
satellites.

The New Left in the West, from which the Green Left emerged, represents
the kind of Communism which Stalin overthew. The Green Left sides with
the Ukraine revolutionaries, against Putin; but for all the wrong
reasons. They say they want to protect minorities and safeguard
freedoms, but they cover up their funding by George Soros and the
orchestration of the revolution by the State Dept using Gene Sharp methods.

I am interested to see that, with "anti-Semites" on both sides, both
Brother Nathanael and Lasha Darkmoon have no hesitation in siding with
Putin.

Both of these writers have a flair for turns of phrase which get to the
heart of things and shift one emotionally. Their emotive qualities
sometimes seem a little unhinged, but it's very easy to go beyond cold
hard facts.

At times, each of them has seemed, on my reading, to be pro-Hitler. Yet,
faced with a sitauation where Svoboda and Right Sector really are
Nazi-like, and Putin is not (witness his mildness but firmness in
dealing with the Gay issue), they have both plumbed for Putin.

oppose Putin more

Ukrainian Jews fear that the anger will be directed at the Jews, as has
happened in the past

Written by Yossi Lempkowicz

Friday, 21 February 2014 14:40

KIEV (EJP)---Jewish leaders have expressed concen over 'the continued
violence in Ukraine and fear that Jews might be targeted.

Since the conflict between anti-government protesters and the
authorities started in November, Ukrainian Jewish leaders have urged
their constituents to avoid getting involved in the conflict. But an
unknown number of Jews have taken part in fighting, according to some
sources.

Jewish institutions have reportedly heightened security measures,
schools have closed and Jews have undertaken to minimize their presence
on the street, to avoid "falling into the hands" of frustrated and
anti-Semitic demonstrators, Hillel Cohen, a representative of Hatzalah
Ukraine, a local aid organization, told The Jerusalem Post.

Alex Selsky, CEO of the World Forum of Russian- Speaking Jewry (WFRJ)
said that "the community has a fear that the anger will be directed at
the Jews, as has happened in the past."

The European Jewish Union (EJU) and the Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee (JDC) have said they are keeping an eye on developments and
are in contact with the community.

"JDC, together with its global partners, is constantly monitoring the
situation on the ground and maintains round-the-clock contact with our
staff and community leaders," a spokesman said.

The organization is continuing to provide social and medical services to
its Ukrainian clients and has "prepared contingency plans for a variety
of scenarios."

Oleksandr Feldman, a Jewish member of the Ukrainian parliament and the
founder of the UJC, issued a statement "to all parties of the conflict
with the appeal to stop the violence and to [come to a] peaceful
resolution."

Peter Dickinson, editor-in-chief of Jewish News One (JN1), the
Kiev-based 24/24 television channel, told European Jewish Press that the
Jewish community are supportive of the protests, "at least those whom I
know and speak to".

While Jews are also concerned by the nationalist element – especizally
the anti-Semitic Svoboda party they overall see the pro-democracy and
pro-European movement as the right direction for the country, said
Dickinson.

"Plus they are well aware of the dangers posed by Russian chauvinism,
which under Putin is becoming increasingly anti-Semitic," he added.

Svoboda is the fourth largest in parliament with 36 MPs.

One of the three figures who form the anti-government Maidan movement's
unlikely leadership coalition, along with boxer Vitali Klitschko and
former Foreign Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, is Oleh Tyahnybok, the leader
of the nationalist Svoboda party who has a habit of doing things like
referring to the country's government as a "Jewish-Russian mafia."

The party traces its roots to a Nazi-allied partisan army during World
War II and was known as the Social-National Party—in reference to
National Socialism—until 2004. Last month the party held a torch-lit
march in honor of Stepan Bandera—a controversial figure viewed by some
as a Nazi collaborator.

If the conflict is primarily viewed in the West as a struggle between
pro-European supporters of democracy and an increasingly authoritarian
government under the influence of Moscow, the official Russian line on
the events presents an alternate reality: Western governments are naïve
dupes supporting violent extremists with far-right fascist tendencies.

The Russian foreign ministry has dubbed the protests the "Brown
Revolution," comparing it to the Nazis' rise to power in the 1930s.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has asked, "Why do we not hear
statements of condemnation toward those who seize government buildings,
attack and burn police officers, and voice racist and anti-Semitic
slogans?"

(3) Is the U.S. Backing Neo-Nazis in Ukraine? by Max Blumenthal

Is the U.S. Backing Neo-Nazis in Ukraine?

Exposing troubling ties in the U.S. to overt Nazi and fascist protesters
in Ukraine.

By Max Blumenthal

February 25, 2014

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article37752.htm

  As the Euromaidan protests in the Ukrainian capitol of Kiev culminated
this week, displays of open fascism and neo-Nazi extremism became too
glaring to ignore. Since demonstrators filled the downtown square to
battle Ukrainian riot police and demand the ouster of the
corruption-stained, pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovich, it has been
filled with far-right streetfighting men pledging to defend their
country’s ethnic purity.

White supremacist banners and Confederate flags were draped inside
Kiev’s occupied City Hall, and demonstrators have hoisted Nazi SS and
white power symbols over a toppled memorial to V.I. Lenin. After
Yanukovich fled his palatial estate by helicopter, EuroMaidan protesters
destroyed a memorial to Ukrainians who died battling German occupation
during World War II. Sieg heil salutes and the Nazi Wolfsangel symbol
have become an increasingly common site in Maidan Square, and neo-Nazi
forces have established “autonomous zones” in and around Kiev.

An Anarchist group called AntiFascist Union Ukraine attempted to join
the Euromaidan demonstrations but found it difficult to avoid threats of
violence and imprecations from the gangs of neo-Nazis roving the square.
“They called the Anarchists things like Jews, blacks, Communists,” one
of its members said. “There weren’t even any Communists, that was just
an insult.”

“There are lots of Nationalists here, including Nazis,” the anti-fascist
continued. “They came from all over Ukraine, and they make up about 30%
of protesters.”

One of the “Big Three” political parties behind the protests is the
ultra-nationalist Svoboda, whose leader, Oleh Tyahnybok, has called for
the liberation of his country from the “Muscovite-Jewish mafia.” After
the 2010 conviction of the Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk for his
supporting role in the death of nearly 30,000 people at the Sobibor
camp, Tyahnybok rushed to Germany to declare him a hero who was
“fighting for truth.” In the Ukrainian parliament, where Svoboda holds
an unprecedented 37 seats, Tyahnybok’s deputy Yuriy Mykhalchyshyn is
fond of quoting Joseph Goebbels – he has even founded a think tank
originally called “the Joseph Goebbels Political Research Center.”
According to Per Anders Rudling, a leading academic expert on European
neo-fascism, the self-described “socialist nationalist” Mykhalchyshyn is
the main link between Svoboda’s official wing and neo-Nazi militias like
Right Sector.

Right Sector is a shadowy syndicate of self-described “autonomous
nationalists” identified by their skinhead style of dress, ascetic
lifestyle, and fascination with street violence. Armed with riot shields
and clubs, the group’s cadres have manned the front lines of the
Euromaidan battles this month, filling the air with their signature
chant: “Ukraine above all!” In a recent Right Sector propaganda video
[embedded at the bottom of this article], the group promised to fight
“against degeneration and totalitarian liberalism, for traditional
national morality and family values.” With Svoboda linked to a
constellation of international neo-fascist parties through the Alliance
of European National Movements, Right Sector is promising to lead its
army of aimless, disillusioned young men on “a great European Reconquest.”

Svoboda’s openly pro-Nazi politics have not deterred Senator John McCain
from addressing a EuroMaidan rally alongside Tyahnybok, nor did it
prevent Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland from enjoying a
friendly meeting with the Svoboda leader this February. Eager to fend
off accusations of anti-Semitism, the Svoboda leader recently hosted the
Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine. “I would like to ask Israelis to also
respect our patriotic feelings,” Tyahnybok has remarked. “Probably each
party in the [Israeli] Knesset is nationalist. With God’s help, let it
be this way for us too.”

In a leaked phone conversation with Geoffrey Pyatt, the US ambassador to
Ukraine, Nuland revealed her wish for Tyahnybok to remain “on the
outside,” but to consult with the US’s replacement for Yanukovich,
Arseniy Yatsenyuk, “four times a week.” At a December 5, 2013 US-Ukraine
Foundation Conference, Nuland boasted that the US had invested $5
billion to "build democratic skills and institutions" in Ukraine, though
she did not offer any details.

“The Euro-Maidan movement has come to embody the principles and values
that are the cornerstones for all free democracies,” Nuland proclaimed.

Two weeks later, 15,000 Svoboda members held a torchlight ceremony in
the city of Lviv in honor of Stepan Bandera, a World War II-era Nazi
collaborator who led the pro-fascist Organization of Ukrainian
Nationalists (OUN-B). Lviv has become the epicenter of neo-fascist
activity in Ukraine, with elected Svoboda officials waging a campaign to
rename its airport after Bandera and successfully changing the name of
Peace Street to the name of the Nachtigall Battalion, an OUN-B wing that
participated directly in the Holocaust. “’Peace’ is a holdover from
Soviet stereotypes,” a Svoboda deputy explained.

Revered by Ukrainian nationalists as a legendary freedom fighter,
Bandera’s real record was ignominious at best. After participating in a
campaign to assassinate Ukrainians who supported accommodation with the
Polish during the 1930’s, Bandera’s forces set themselves to ethnically
cleanse western Ukraine of Poles in 1943 and 1944. In the process, they
killed over 90,000 Poles and many Jews, whom Bandera’s top deputy and
acting “Prime Minister,” Yaroslav Stetsko, were determined to
exterminate. Bandera held fast to fascist ideology in the years after
the war, advocating a totalitarian, ethnically pure Europe while his
affiliated Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) carried out a doomed armed
struggle against the Soviet Union. The bloodbath he inspired ended when
KGB agents assassinated him in Munich in 1959.

The Right Connections

Many surviving OUN-B members fled to Western Europe and the United
States – occasionally with CIA help – where they quietly forged
political alliances with right-wing elements. “You have to understand,
we are an underground organization. We have spent years quietly
penetrating positions of influence,” one member told journalist Russ
Bellant, who documented the group’s resurgence in the United States in
his 1988 book, “Old Nazis, New Right, and the Republican Party.”

In Washington, the OUN-B reconstituted under the banner of the Ukrainian
Congress Committee of America (UCCA), an umbrella organization comprised
of “complete OUN-B fronts,” according to Bellant. By the mid-1980’s, the
Reagan administration was honeycombed with UCCA members, with the
group’s chairman Lev Dobriansky, serving as ambassador to the Bahamas,
and his daughter, Paula, sitting on the National Security Council.
Reagan personally welcomed Stetsko, the Banderist leader who oversaw the
massacre of 7000 Jews in Lviv, into the White House in 1983.

“Your struggle is our struggle,” Reagan told the former Nazi
collaborator. “Your dream is our dream.”

When the Justice Department launched a crusade to capture and prosecute
Nazi war criminals in 1985, UCCA snapped into action, lobbying Congress
to halt the initiative. “The UCCA has also played a leading role in
opposing federal investigations of suspected Nazi war criminals since
those queries got underway in the late 1970’s,” Bellant wrote. “Some
UCCA members have many reasons to worry – reasons which began in the
1930’s.”

Still an active and influential lobbying force in Washington, the UCCA
does not appear to have shed its reverence for Banderist nationalism. In
2009, on the 50th anniversary of Bandera’s death, the group proclaimed
him “a symbol of strength and righteousness for his followers” who
“continue[s] to inspire Ukrainians today.” A year later, the group
honored the 60th anniversary of the death of Roman Shukhevych, the OUN-B
commander of the Nachtigall Battalion that slaughtered Jews in Lviv and
Belarus, calling him a “hero” who “fought for honor, righteousness…”

Back in Ukraine in 2010, then-President Viktor Yushchenko awarded
Bandera the title of “National Hero of Ukraine,” marking the culmination
of his efforts to manufacture an anti-Russian national narrative that
sanitized the OUN-B’s fascism. (Yuschenko’s wife, Katherine Chumachenko,
was a former Reagan administration official and ex-staffer at the
right-wing Heritage Foundation). When the European Parliament condemned
Yushchenko's proclamation as an affront to "European values," the
UCCA-affiliated Ukrainian World Congress reacted with outrage, accusing
the EU of "another attempt to rewrite Ukrainian history during WWII." On
its website, the UCCA dismissed historical accounts of Bandera's
collaboration with the Nazis as "Soviet propaganda."

Following the demise of Yanukovich this month, the UCCA helped organize
rallies in cities across the US in support of the EuroMaidan protests.
When several hundred demonstrators marched through downtown Chicago,
some waved Ukrainian flags while others proudly flew the red and black
banners of the UPA and OUN-B. "USA supports Ukraine!" they chanted.

Ukraine crisis portends apocalypse, by Dr Paul Craig Roberts

Whither Ukraine? Will the attempt to steal Ukraine from Russia and
incorporate it into Europe trigger World War Three?

  Notes and Comments by Lasha Darkmoon

Introductory note by Lasha Darkmoon

Ukraine has now fallen under the control of Right Sector, a group of
violent "neo-Nazis" who hate Jews and Russians even more than they hate
the US and Europe. The US has foolishly spent $5 billion helping to
finance a coup d'état on behalf of people who essentially hate them.
This is the sad and sober truth.

The Western media have presented a totally simplistic and distorted
picture of the situation in Ukraine.

One half of the country (the east) is Russian-speaking and loyal to
Putin's Russia. This half of the country, as you might expect, is
portrayed by Western media as the "bad half". The other half of the
country (the west) turns adoring eyes toward the US and Europe and longs
to become part of the European community and have NATO defend them from
Russia. Full of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed young idealists, panting
for the freedom and democracy purportedly enjoyed by all Americans and
Europeans, this part of Ukraine is naturally presented as the "good half".

Nothing could be further from the truth.

As the article below will make clear, Ukraine is now under the hegemony
of armed thugs whose ideological roots go back to Hitler's Germany.
These were ordinary Ukrainians who had suffered horrendously under
Stalin. Roughly 10 million of them had been starved to death in the
Holodomor famine (1932-33), a premeditated act of genocidal mass murder
for which they rightly blamed the Soviet Union.

Since the Russian commissars who confiscated Ukrainian corn and presided
over the deliberate starvation of the Ukrainian peasants were mostly
Jewish — and since Communism and the Bolshevik Revolution itself  (1917)
had the mark of international Jewry written all over them — it is only
natural that these Ukrainian nationalists should regard Jews with utter
abhorrence.

When World War II broke out, these Ukrainian Jew haters naturally joined
forces with Hitler's Germany.  Hitler would protect them, they thought,
from the filthy bastards who had  tried to starve them to death in the
man-made Holodomor famine.

Right Sector, who now control Ukraine thanks to American "regime
change", are the ideological descendants of the Ukrainian victims of the
Holodomor famine. They hate the Jews for starving their forefathers to
death. They hate the Russians for letting the Jews take over Russia. And
they hate the US — because not only did the US defeat their ally Hitler,
but the US was also allied to Russia in WWII and was itself a disgusting
puppet of international Jewry.

The hidden hand of international Jewry must be seen behind recent events
in Ukraine. It must not be forgotten that Yulia Tymoshenko, the
blonde-plaited darling of so many Western Ukrainians and a former Prime
Minister of Ukraine, was known to have close business ties with crime
boss Semyon Moglievich, head of the Jewish Russian mafia. I have written
about this shady character before, billed as "the world's most dangerous
man".  (See here
<http://www.darkmoon.me/2013/the-judeo-russian-mafia-and-the-bloodbath-to-come-by-dr-lasha-darkmoon/>).


It needs to be asked: how come the former Prime Minister of Ukraine was
in cahoots with the head of Jewish Russian mafia? Who has helped to
finance Right Sector? Were those Israeli snipers by any chance who shot
and killed both sides in the recent conflict in Kiev, the protesters as
well as the Ukrainian police?

These questions need answering.

Ukraine Crisis portends apocalypse

by Dr Paul Craig Roberts

{this article is on his website as Democracy Murdered By Protest —
Ukraine Falls To Intrigue and violence February 23, 2014
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/02/23/democracy-murdered-protest-ukraine-falls-intrigue-violence/}


Who's in charge in Ukraine? Certainly not the
bought-and-paid-for-moderates that Washington and the EU hoped to
install as the new government of Ukraine. The agreement that the
Washington and EU supported opposition concluded with President
Yanukovich to end the crisis did not last an hour. Even the former
boxing champion, Vitaly Klitschko, who was riding high as an opposition
leader until a few hours ago has been booed by the rioters and shoved
aside.

The newly appointed president by what is perhaps an irrelevant
parliament, Oleksandr Turchynov, has no support base among those who
overthrew the government. As the BBC reports, "like all of the
mainstream opposition politicians, Mr. Turchynov is not entirely trusted
or respected by the protesters in Kiev's Independence Square."

In western Ukraine the only organized and armed force is the
ultra-nationalist Right Sector. From the way this group's leaders speak,
they assume that they are in charge. One of the group's leaders,
Aleksandr Muzychko, has pledged to fight against "Jews and Russians
until I die." Asserting the Right Sector's authority over the situation,
Muzychko declared that now that the democratically elected government
has been overthrown, "there will be order and discipline" or "Right
Sector squads will shoot the bastards on the spot."

The bastards are any protesters who dare to protest the Right Sector's
control.

Muzychko declared, "The next president of Ukraine will be from Right
Sector."

Another Right Sector leader, Dmitry Yarosh, declared: "the Right Sector
will not lay down its arms." He declared the deal made between the
opposition and the President to be "unacceptable" and demanded the
liquidation of President Yanukovich's political party.

The Right Sector's roots go back to the Ukrainians who fought for Adolf
Hitler against the Soviet Union during World War II. It was the Right
Sector that introduced armed fighters and turned the tide of the
protests in Kiev from peaceful protests in favor of joining the EU to
violent attacks on police with the view of overthrowing the
democratically elected government, which the Right Sector succeeded in
doing.

The Right Sector did not overthrow the Ukraine government in order to
deliver it into the hands of the Washington and EU paid "opposition."

There is a tendency to discount the Right Sector as a small fringe
group, but the Right Sector not only took control of the protests away
from the Western supported moderates, as moderate leaders themselves
admitted, but also the Right Sector has enough public support to destroy
the national monument to the Red Army soldiers who died liberating
Ukraine from Nazi Germany.

Unlike the US orchestrated toppling of the stature of Saddam Hussein,
which was a PR event for the presstitutes in which Iraqis themselves
were not involved, Ukrainian rightists' destruction of the monument
commemorating the Red Army's liberation of the Ukraine had public support.

If the Right Sector hates Russians for defeating the Nazis, the Right
Sector also hates the US, France, and England for the same reason. The
Right Sector is an unlikely political party to take Ukraine into the EU.

{Lasha Darkmoon comments:

As I indicated earlier, Right Sector has not forgotten the Holodomor
genocide of 1932-33  and the savage cruelties inflicted on Ukrainian
peasants by Stalin and his Jewish commissars.

Right Sector also remembers that the Red Army, at the instigation of
Russian Jew Ilya Ehrenberg, not only raped over 2 million German women
in 1945 but also raped, tortured and killed thousands of women in Ukraine.

So these Ukrainian nationalists, portrayed by Western media as "neo-Nazi
scum",  have very good reason to be angry with Jews and Russians —
especially Russian Jews like Ilya Ehrenberg and Trotsky who made the
lives of their forefathers such a living hell.

It is highly significant that all over western Ukraine statues of Lenin,
whose grandfather was Jewish, have been torn down and reduced to rubble.

It is also significant that "the chief rabbi of Ukraine has just
declared the country unsafe for Jews and is urging them to emigrate: he
says the Israeli embassy is telling them not to leave their homes
because Jews are not safe in the streets." (See here)
end Lasha Darkmoon comment}

The Russian parts of Ukraine clearly understand that the Right Sector's
destruction of the monument commemorating the stand of the Red Army
against the German troops is a threat against the Russian population of
Ukraine. Provincial governments in eastern and southern Ukraine that
formerly were part of Russia are organizing militias against the
ultra-nationalist threat unleashed by Washington's stupidity and
incompetence and by the naive and gullible Kiev protesters.

Having interfered in Ukraine's internal affairs and lost control,
Washington is now issuing ultimatums to Russia not to interfere in Ukraine.

Does the idiot Susan Rice, Obama's neoconservative National Security
Advisor, think Putin is going to pay any attention to her ultimatums or
to any instruction from a government so militarily incompetent that it
was unable to successfully occupy Baghdad after 8 years or to defeat a
few thousand lightly armed Taliban after 12 years?

In only took a few hours for Russian troops to destroy the American and
Israeli trained and armed Georgian army that Washington sent to invade
South Ossetia.

Where does Obama find morons like Susan Rice and Victoria Nuland? These
two belong in a kindergarten for mentally handicapped children, not in
the government of a superpower where their ignorance and arrogance can
start World War III.

{Lasha Darkmoon comments:

Obama has lost it. His appointees to important political posts often
appear to be are as clueless as himself.  His ambassador to Sweden was
recently found lying dead drunk in the snow. His current hotel chain
owner nominee for Norway was unaware that Norway was a constitutional
monarchy. His TV soap opera producer pick for Hungary had no idea what
the US was doing in Hungary or what its interests there were. "One Obama
appointee," we are told, "Seattle investor Cynthia Stroum, was forced to
resign after running her embassy in Luxembourg into the ground, verbally
abusing her staff and spending embassy funds on personal travel and
alcohol." (See here)
end Lasha Darkmoon comment}

Ukraine is far more important to Russia than it is to the US or EU. If
the situation in Ukraine spirals out of control and right-wing
extremists seize control, Russian intervention is certain. The arrogant
and stupid Obama regime has carelessly and recklessly created a direct
strategic threat to the existence of Russia.

According to the Moscow Times, this is what a senior Russian official
has to say: "If Ukraine breaks apart, it will trigger a war." Ukraine
"will lose Crimera first," because Russia "will go in just as we did in
Georgia." Another Russian official said: " We will not allow Europe and
the US to take Ukraine from us. The states of the former Soviet Union,
we are one family. They think Russia is still as weak as in the early
1990s but we are not."

The Ukrainian right-wing is in a stronger position than Washington's
paid Ukrainian puppets, essentially weak and irrelevant persons who sold
out their country for Washington's money. The Right Sector is organized.
It is armed. It is indigenous. It is not dependent on money funneled in
from Washington and EU financed NGOs. It has an ideology, and it is
focused. The Right Sector doesn't have to pay its protesters to take to
the streets like Washington had to do.

Most importantly, well-meaning but stupid protesters–especially the Kiev
students–and an Ukrainian parliament playing to the protesters destroyed
Ukrainian democracy. The opposition controlled parliament removed an
elected president from office without an election, an obvious illegal
and undemocratic action. The opposition controlled parliament issued
illegal arrest warrants for members of the president's government. The
opposition controlled parliament illegally released criminals from
prison. As the opposition has created a regime of illegality in place of
law and constitutional procedures, the field is wide open for the Right
Sector. Expect everything the opposition did to Yanukovich to be done to
them by the Right Sector. By their own illegal and unconstitutional
actions, the opposition has set the precedent for their own demise.

Just as the February 1917 revolution against the Russian Tsar set the
stage for the October 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, surprising the stupid
"reformers," the overthrow of the Ukrainian political order has set the
stage for the Right Sector. We can only hope that the Right Sector blows
its chance.

The American media is a useless news source. It serves as a Ministry for
Government Lies. The corrupt propagandists are portraying the
undemocratic removal of Yanukovich as a victory for freedom and
democracy. When it begins to leak out that everything has gone wrong,
the presstitutes will blame it all on Russia and Putin. The Western
media is a plague upon humanity.

Americans have no idea that the neoconservative regime of the White
House Fool is leading them into a Great Power Confrontation that could
end in destruction of life on earth.

Ironic, isn't it. America's "first black president," the person liberals
thought would restore justice, morality, and reason to Western
civilization, is instead now positioned as the person who will have to
accept humiliating defeat or risk the destruction of life on earth.

In Ukraine, fascists, oligarchs and western expansion are at the heart
of the crisis

The story we're told about the protests gripping Kiev bears only the
sketchiest relationship with reality

Seumas Milne

The Guardian, Thursday 30 January 2014 07.31 AEST

We've been here before. For the past couple of months street protests in
Ukraine have been played out through the western media according to a
well-rehearsed script. Pro-democracy campaigners are battling an
authoritarian government. The demonstrators are demanding the right to
be part of the European Union. But Russia's president Vladimir Putin has
vetoed their chance of freedom and prosperity.

It's a story we've heard in one form or another again and again - not
least in Ukraine's western-backed Orange revolution a decade ago. But it
bears only the sketchiest relationship to reality. EU membership has
never been - and very likely never will be - on offer to Ukraine. As in
Egypt last year, the president that the protesters want to force out was
elected in a poll judged fair by international observers. And many of
those on the streets aren't very keen on democracy at all.

You'd never know from most of the reporting that far-right nationalists
and fascists have been at the heart of the protests and attacks on
government buildings. One of the three main opposition parties heading
the campaign is the hard-right antisemitic Svoboda, whose leader Oleh
Tyahnybok claims that a "Moscow-Jewish mafia" controls Ukraine. But US
senator John McCain was happy to share a platform with him in Kiev last
month. The party, now running the city of Lviv, led a 15,000-strong
torchlit march earlier this month in memory of the Ukrainian fascist
leader Stepan Bandera, whose forces fought with the Nazis in the second
world war and took part in massacres of Jews.

So in the week that the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army was
commemorated as Holocaust Memorial Day, supporters of those who helped
carry out the genocide are hailed by western politicians on the streets
of Ukraine. But Svoboda has now been outflanked in the protests by even
more extreme groups, such as "Right Sector", who demand a "national
revolution" and threaten "prolonged guerrilla warfare".

Not that they have much time for the EU, which has been pushing Ukraine
to sign an association agreement, offering loans for austerity, as part
of a German-led drive to open up Ukraine for western companies. It was
Viktor Yanukovych's abandonment of the EU option - after which Putin
offered a $15bn bailout - that triggered the protests.

But Ukrainians are deeply divided about both European integration and
the protests - largely along an axis between the largely
Russian-speaking east and south (where the Communist party still
commands significant support), and traditionally nationalist western
Ukraine. Industry in the east is dependent on Russian markets, and would
be crushed by EU competition.

It's that historic faultline at the heart of Ukraine that the west has
been trying to exploit to roll back Russian influence since the 1990s,
including a concerted attempt to draw Ukraine into Nato. The Orange
revolution leaders were encouraged to send Ukrainian troops into Iraq
and Afghanistan as a sweetener.

Nato's eastward expansion was halted by the Georgian war of 2008 and
Yanukovych's later election on a platform of non-alignment. But any
doubt that the EU's effort to woo Ukraine is closely connected with
western military strategy was dispelled today by Nato's secretary
general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who declared that the abortive pact with
Ukraine would have been "a major boost to Euro-Atlantic security".

Which helps to explain why politicians like John Kerry and William Hague
have been so fierce in their condemnation of Ukrainian police violence -
which has already left several dead - while maintaining such studied
restraint over the killing of thousands of protesters in Egypt since
last year's coup. [...]

The breakup of Ukraine would not be a purely Ukrainian affair. Along
with China's emerging challenge to US domination of east Asia, the
Ukrainian faultine has the potential to draw in outside powers and lead
to a strategic clash. Only Ukrainians can overcome this crisis.
Continuing outside interference is both provocative and dangerous.

Putin Scorns Kerry's Threats

By Brother Nathanael Kapner

March 14, 2014 (c)

IF YOU THINK PUTIN fears Kerry's threats, then you don't understand
Vladimir Putin, the Russian mind, or Russian politics.

While most Americans couldn't locate Ukraine on a map, the Jew-lying
press tells the Goyim how they must react to 'boogie man' Putin and his
so-called 'invasion' of Crimea.

(99.9% of Americans never knew Crimea even existed until two weeks ago.)

In spite of Kerry's latest threat: "Russia has until Monday to reverse
course in Ukraine," a backlash has already begun in America by US
business groups opposing his twaddle.

Both PepsiCo and General Electric warned Kerry that sanctions would
backfire by putting tens of billions of dollars of US investment and
trade at risk of retaliation.

PepsiCo, the largest beverage company in Russia, said its earnings of
$4.8 billion (in 2012) would be compromised -- and General Electric's
joint venture with two Russian firms to manufacture gas turbines in
Rybinsk would suffer.

Ford Motor's partnership with the Sollers car company would come to a
grinding halt and Boeing, a top exporter to Russia, would see its trade
with Russia stopped.

"There are two ways America gets hurt in a game like this. One is by
sanctions, that puts our members out of business, the other is by
Russian retaliation," said William Reinsch, head of the National Foreign
Trade Council.

Billions of US dollars are intertwined in Russia.

According to Ernst & Young, the auto industry alone is worth $75 billion
a year with large investments from Ford and VW.

Problem is, Jews (they rule America) FEAR Putin so much they will trash
American business interests if they can only 'get back' at Putin for
defying their global agenda.

But Putin is too smart for Christ-slaying Jews infected with the
Deicidal curse for their corporate guilt of crucifying Jesus Christ.

Mr Putin will certainly welcome Crimea with open arms once the
anticipated positive vote in this Sunday's referendum is tallied. Go get
'em Vladimir! Watch Video Here.

This will drive the accursed Jews into hysterics with shrieks of war
where only the Goyim die young. Jews let the Goys do their dirty work
for them...they do NOT send their own to die in their wars.

COLD EUROPEAN WINTERS

AS FOR MERKEL, she can tout the Jew-fed line of 'massive damage' to
Russia until the kosher cows come home.

For with Putin exporting 40 percent of Europe's energy needs, Merkel has
to play both sides: Jewry pumps dollars to keep its German colony in
line and Russia pumps gas that keeps German homes heated.

"Sanctions on Russia would neither be desirable nor effective or
implementable," said Michael Harms, head of the German-Russian Chamber
of Foreign Trade.

Companies like BASF, Stada Arzneimittel AG, (Germany's biggest
generic-drug maker), and Volkswagen, who enjoy part of Berlin's 31
percent of EU's trade with Russia, would see their huge piece of the pie
swallowed up.

Already, Europe is feeling the negative effects of Merkel's and Kerry's
threats.

Russian companies such as Lukoil are pulling billions out of western
banks, anticipating that sanctions will lead to asset freezes.

IS PUTIN AFRAID of the big bad Jew wolf? No...Putin fears no one but
Christ.

Are US and EU businesses afraid of the Jew wolf? Yes.

When will they realize that what's good for the Jews is BAD for everyone
else?

How Ukraine Will Implode

By Brother Nathanael Kapner

March 16, 2014 (c)

A CLASH OF TRAJECTORIES is about to uncoil in Ukraine with Kiev at the
center of the chaos and cleavage.

While the coup-imposed government in Kiev totters on unstable footing,
the autonomous government of Crimea stands erect in view of its pending
union with Russia.

By all outward appearances, the coalition in Kiev has the look of a
stable government.

But partisan ideological and cultural differences within the regime
could ignite an implosion that will leave regions of Ukraine shattered
and broken beyond repair.

Once the referendum in Crimea is voted on March 16 with neighboring
regions following suit, Kiev's various factions will likely erupt into
an inferno of destruction. All hell will break loose.

The stickum that holds the central government together is a loose
plaster of personalities of widely-differing worldviews.

The glue that originally joined them was their mutual hatred directed at
one object -- the Yanukovitch regime.

But like all such political movements, without that outside focus, they
will likely turn their destructive energies inward on each other in new,
bloody power struggles.

CRACKS IN THE PLASTER

THE 'DEMOCRATIC' FACE of Kiev's new regime has as its poster boys,
Arseny Yatsenyuk, interim prime minister, and Oleksander Turchinov,
acting president.

"Yats," a protege of international Jewish banking, is a puppet of the
Jew-ridden US State Department.

Turchinov, a 'baptist preacher,' is in bed with Zionist Jewry and
arse-kissing 'christians.'

The fissure in the mortar is the "ultra-nationalist" faction made up of
members of the Right Sector, an umbrella group that unites several
militant organizations which exhibits the dark side of nationalism.
Their raison de etre is not love for Ukraine but hatred of Russians.

Upon the illegal ouster of democratically-elected President Viktor
Yanukovitch, political bargaining pasted together a make-shift coalition
that brought key members of the violent Right Sector into top posts:

* Secretary of National Security - Andriy Parubiy, founder of the
Svoboda party/commandant of Maidan defense squads.

* Deputy Secretary of National Security - Dmytro Yarosh, leader of the
Right Sector bloc.

* Deputy Prime Minister - Oleksandr Sych, member of Svoboda.

* Prosecutor General - Oleh Makhnitsky, member of Svoboda.

FALSE FLAG

A FACTIONAL COUP is about to burst the seams of the threadbare fabric of
Kiev's Washington-enabled, self-imposed government.

Surrendering to an ultimatum posed by Dmytro Yarosh that his militias be
granted status of regular military units and access to the country's
arsenals -- Yatsenyuk fired three generals for refusing Yarosh's demands.

Their objection was that by giving Right Sector militants the status of
regular military units, a final split of Ukrainian society would occur
and chaos in the operations of the state's police, military, and
intelligence agencies would ensue.

Yarosh, (on an international wanted list for inciting terror within
Russia), defied the generals with: "conservative approaches will not
prevent anti-Maidan protests in the eastern and southern regions."

Yatsenyuk caved to Yarosh's demands, granted his gangs the status of
regular military units, replaced the 'disobedient' First Deputy Defense
Minister with a pro-Yarosh man, and handed to Svoboda the government's
real power--the power of Ukraine's military.

(Apparently, the 5,000 Kalashnikovs recently reported as 'stolen' from
Ukrainian military centers were simply officially 'appropriated.')

A false flag is in the making.

By arming his militias with weapons from Ukraine's arsenals, Yarosh can
dress his soldiers in Russian uniforms and attack a Ukrainian target of
his choice.

The Jew-owned press will shriek, "Russia MUST be stopped"...and World
War 3 begins.

The Jews knocked off the goats, Iraq and Libya. It's time to get the bear.

(9) Jewish leaders in Ukraine write to Putin demanding he give up Crimea

http://eajc.org/page32/news43672.html

Open letter of Ukrainian Jews to Russian Federation President Vladimir
Putin. 05.03.2014, Jews and Society To the President of the Russian
Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin

Mr. President!

We are Jewish citizens of Ukraine: businessmen, managers, public
figures, scientists and scholars, artists and musicians. We are
addressing you on behalf of the multi-national people of Ukraine,
Ukraine's national minorities, and on behalf of the Jewish community.

You have stated that Russia wants to protect the rights of the
Russian-speaking citizens of the Crimea and all of Ukraine and that
these rights have been flouted by the current Ukrainian government.
Historically, Ukrainian Jews are also mostly Russian-speaking. Thus, our
opinion on what is happening carries no less weight than the opinion of
those who advise and inform you.

We do not believe that you are easy to fool. You consciously pick and
choose lies and slander from the massive amount of information about
Ukraine. And you know very well that Victor Yanukovich's statement
concerning the time after the latest treaty had been signed that
"...Kyiv is full of armed people who have begun to trash buildings,
places of worship, churches. Innocent people have begun to suffer.
People have simply been robbed and killed in the street..." are lies,
from the first word to the very last.

The Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine are not being humiliated or
discriminated against, their civil rights have not been limited.
Meanderings about "forced Ukrainization" and "bans on the Russian
language" that have been so common in Russian media are on the heads of
those who invented them. Your certainty of the growth of anti-Semitism
in Ukraine also does not correspond to the actual facts. It seems you
have confused Ukraine with Russia, where Jewish organizations have
noticed growth in anti-Semitic tendencies last year.

Right now, after Ukraine has survived a difficult political crisis, many
of us have wound up on different sides of the barricades. The Jews of
Ukraine, as all ethnic groups, are not absolutely unified in their
opinion towards what is happening in the country. But we live in a
democratic country and can afford a difference of opinion.

They have tried to scare us (and are continuing their attempts) with
"Bandera followers" and "Fascists" attempting to wrest away the helm of
Ukrainian society, with imminent Jewish progroms. Yes, we are well aware
that the political opposition and the forces of social protests who have
secured changes for the better are made up of different groups. They
include nationalistic groups, but even the most marginal do not dare
show anti-Semitism or other xenophobic behavior. And we certainly know
that our very few nationalists are well-controlled by civil society and
the new Ukrainian government – which is more than can be said for the
Russian neo-Nazis, who are encouraged by your security services.

We have a great mutual understanding with the new government, and a
partnership is in the works. There are quite a few national minority
representatives in the Cabinet of Ministers: the Minister of Internal
Affairs is Armenian, the Vice Prime Minister is a Jew, two ministers are
Russian. The newly-appointed governors of Ukraine's region are also not
exclusively Ukrainian.

Unfortunately, we must admit that in recent days stability in our
country has been threatened. And this threat is coming from the Russian
government, namely – from you personally. It is your policy of inciting
separatism and crude pressure placed on Ukraine that threatens us and
all Ukrainian people, including those who live in Crimea and the
Ukrainian South-East. South-eastern Ukrainians will soon see that for
themselves.

Vladimir Vladimirovich, we highly value your concern about the safety
and rights of Ukrainian national minorities. But we do not wish to be
"defended" by sundering Ukraine and annexing its territory. We
decisively call for you not to intervene in internal Ukrainian affairs,
to return the Russian armed forces to their normal fixed peacetime
location, and to stop encouraging pro-Russian separatism.

Vladimir Vladimirovich, we are quite capable of protecting our rights in
a constructive dialogue and in cooperation with the government and civil
society of a sovereign, democratic, and united Ukraine. We strongly urge
you not to destabilize the situation in our country and to stop your
attempts of delegitimizing the new Ukrainian government.

(10) Ex-Israeli soldiers participate in Kiev uprising, under Svoboda
command - as if to say "don't worry about anti-Semitism"

The ex-Israeli soldier who led a Kiev fighting unit

'Delta' has headed 'the Blue Helmets of Maidan' of 40 men and women -
including several IDF veterans - in violent clashes with government forces.

By JTA | Feb. 28, 2014 | 10:43 PM | 49

He calls his troops “the Blue Helmets of Maidan,” but brown is the color
of the headgear worn by Delta — the nom de guerre of the commander of a
Jewish-led militia force that participated in the Ukrainian revolution.
Under his helmet, he also wears a kippah.

Delta, a Ukraine-born former soldier in the Israel Defense Forces, spoke
to JTA Thursday on condition of anonymity. He explained how he came to
use combat skills he acquired in the Shu’alei Shimshon reconnaissance
battalion of the Givati infantry brigade to rise through the ranks of
Kiev’s street fighters. He has headed a force of 40 men and women —
including several fellow IDF veterans — in violent clashes with
government forces.

Several Ukrainian Jews, including Rabbi Moshe Azman, one of the
country’s claimants to the title of chief rabbi, confirmed Delta’s
identity and role in the still-unfinished revolution.

The “Blue Helmets” nickname, a reference to the UN peacekeeping force,
stuck after Delta’s unit last month prevented a mob from torching a
building occupied by Ukrainian police, he said. “There were dozens of
officers inside, surrounded by 1,200 demonstrators who wanted to burn
them alive,” he recalled. “We intervened and negotiated their safe passage.”

The problem, he said, was that the officers would not leave without
their guns, citing orders. Delta told JTA his unit reasoned with the mob
to allow the officers to leave with their guns. “It would have been a
massacre, and that was not an option,” he said.

The Blue Helmets comprise 35 men and women who are not Jewish, and who
are led by five ex-IDF soldiers, says Delta, an Orthodox Jew in his late
30s who regularly prays at Azman’s Brodsky Synagogue. He declined to
speak about his private life.

Delta, who immigrated to Israel in the 1990s, moved back to Ukraine
several years ago and has worked as a businessman. He says he joined the
protest movement as a volunteer on November 30, after witnessing
violence by government forces against student protesters.

“I saw unarmed civilians with no military background being ground by a
well-oiled military machine, and it made my blood boil,” Delta told JTA
in Hebrew laced with military jargon. “I joined them then and there, and
I started fighting back the way I learned how, through urban warfare
maneuvers. People followed, and I found myself heading a platoon of
young men. Kids, really.”

The other ex-IDF infantrymen joined the Blue Helmets later after hearing
it was led by a fellow vet, Delta said.

As platoon leader, Delta says he takes orders from activists connected
to Svoboda, an ultra-nationalist party that has been frequently accused
of anti-Semitism and whose members have been said to have had key
positions in organizing the opposition protests.

“I don’t belong [to Svoboda], but I take orders from their team. They
know I’m Israeli, Jewish and an ex-IDF soldier. They call me ‘brother,’”
he said. “What they’re saying about Svoboda is exaggerated, I know this
for a fact. I don’t like them because they’re inconsistent, not because
of [any] anti-Semitism issue.”

The commanding position of Svoboda in the revolution is no secret,
according to Ariel Cohen, a senior research fellow at the Washington
D.C.-based Heritage Foundation think tank.

“The driving force among the so-called white sector in the Maidan are
the nationalists, who went against the SWAT teams and snipers who were
shooting at them,” Cohen told JTA.

Still, many Jews supported the revolution and actively participated in
it. [...]

(11) Mediterranean gas deposits, appropriated by Israel, will threaten
Russian exports

http://nypost.com/2014/02/09/israels-fortune-is-putins-horror/

Israel's fortune is Putin's horror

By Arthur Herman

February 9, 2014 | 7:47pm

If you think Vladimir Putin has enough worries on his plate dealing with
the Sochi Olympics debacle, the turmoil in Ukraine and Russia's
sputtering economy, think again. A new potential source of trouble is
brewing out in the eastern Mediterranean — one that could not only
undermine Putin's efforts to rebuild Russia's influence in the Middle
East, but his current strong hand in Europe.

The threat: Israel's recently discovered offshore gas deposits — one of
the biggest global finds of the past decade.

Those fields, dubbed Tamar and Leviathan, promise Israel an
unprecedented degree of energy independence and a lucrative export
market to its Arab neighbors, including Egypt and Jordan. And they
threaten to challenge Russian energy giant Gazprom's dominance of the
European gas market.

That dominance has been one of the lynchpins of Putin's power. Gazprom
provided Europe almost one-quarter of its total natural gas needs last
year, and that need is inevitably going to grow.

Europeans know they pay Gazprom a significant premium for natural gas
(more than 2?/? times what Americans pay for gas), even as Gazprom
produces cheaply in Russia's Soviet-era fields. They also know Russia's
not afraid to use its gas exports as blackmail, as when Putin severed
the supply lines to Ukraine in 2009.

Greens won't let Europeans extract their own natural-gas reserves
through fracking, so countries of the European Union have been resigned
to letting Putin hold a whiphand over their energy needs, and their
economies.

Here's where Israel enters the picture. Its spectacular offshore gas
finds at Tamar (which opened last March) and the much larger Leviathan
field now threaten to spoil the caviar. Although the reserves (around 1
trillion cubic meters) are nowhere near as big as Russia's, the demands
of 8 million Israelis are tiny. So the bulk of future Leviathan
development is free to go abroad, most likely in the form of liquified
natural gas or LNG — which can be shipped anywhere in any quantity
without the risk of terrorists cutting a pipeline.

This could be manna from heaven for the gas-starved EU. It certainly
promises a political bonus for Israel, by turning the Jewish state from
a European pariah into a would-be savior.

That has Gazprom, which gets 40 percent of its revenues from Europe,
worried — and Putin, too.

The Russian company has made offers to "help" Israel develop the
Leviathan field (the Israelis chief partner now is Houston-based Noble
Energy). Early last year Gazprom negotiated a contract to liquify some
of the gas coming from the Tamar field.

But many experts wonder how much the Russians really want to help
Israel's emergence as an energy competitor. Insiders agree the Tamar
export deal is now all but dead, and an Australian challenger with major
LNG expertise, Woodside Petroleum, has just agreed to take a 25 percent
stake in Leviathan development.

The Israeli government is still working out how much gas it wants to
export, and what to reserve for home consumption. But for Gazprom the
rebuff when the Israelis opted for Woodside is a harbinger of what's to
come: not just a lost contract on Leviathan, or even a challenge to its
European market — but also a loss of influence in the Middle East.

Exporting gas to Egypt, Jordan, and even the Palestinian Authority
(Noble already has a contract with the Palestine Generating Power Co. to
start in by 2017) will help smooth Israel's relations with its neighbors
— more bad news for a Russia that always prefers to fish in waters
roiled by Middle East chaos, as the Russian warships now stationed off
Syria should remind us.

Israel's new gas bonanza offers a huge opportunity for US interests, by
helping to secure peace in the Middle East and undercutting Putin's
imperial pretensions in Europe and the East Mediterranean.

So let the Russian "czar" enjoy his Olympics. He'll soon be experiencing
gas troubles that will have him reaching for the Gaviscom — as well as
the phone to Tel Aviv.

The Strategic Impact of Israel's Export of Natural Gas

by David Wurmser

inFocus Quarterly

Spring 2013

The Sedco Express drilling rig above the Tamar gas field in the
Mediterranean. In January 17, 2009, a team led by the Texas firm, Noble
Energy Inc., discovered methane in a field (Tamar) now estimated to
contain 275 billion cubic meters (9.7 trillion cubic feet) of natural
gas—about half of what Europe consumes annually. A year later, the same
team announced the discovery of monster gas field to the west of Tamar
(Leviathan), which alone contains about as much gas as Europe consumes
annually. There have been several other finds of smaller, but
nevertheless substantial fields. In neighboring Cyprus, another field
(Aphrodite) comparable to Tamar was discovered by Noble Energy, abutting
and even slightly spilling into Israel's waters. In short, Israel and
its neighbor now sit atop roughly two years' worth of European consumption.

The Geostrategic Impact of Gas Supply

Israel's newfound energy abundance will dramatically affect its economy
and resource realities, representing a major strategic change. The
amount of gas discovered exceeds projected Israeli demand for at least a
half century. As such, Israel will become a net exporter of gas. [...]

After Yugoslavia, Ukraine ?

by Thierry Meyssan

Public opinion in Western Europe is wrong to regard the Ukrainian crisis
as a showdown between Westerners and Russians. In reality, Washington’s
goal is not to push the country into the arms of the European Union, but
to deprive Russia of its historical partners. To do this, the United
States is prepared to ignite a new civil war on the continent.

After having dismembered Yugoslavia during a ten-year civil war
(1990-1999), has the United States decided to destroy Ukraine in a
similar way? This is what could be inferred from the maneuvers that the
opposition is poised to launch during the Sochi Olympic Games.

Ukraine has been historically divided between, in the West, a population
turned towards the European Union and, in the East, a population
oriented towards Russia, plus a small Muslim minority in Crimea. After
the country‘s independence, the government gradually crumbled. Taking
advantage of the confusion, the United States organized the «Orange
Revolution» (2004) [1], which brought to power a mafia clan, equally
pro-Atlanticist. Moscow responded by lifting its subsidies on gas
prices, but the Orange government could not rely on its Western allies
to help pay the market price. Ultimately, it lost the 2010 presidential
election in favor of Viktor Yanukovych, a corrupt politician, and an on
again/off again pro-Russian.

On 21 November 2013, the government renounces signing the Association
Agreement negotiated with the European Union. The opposition responds
with protests in Kiev and in the western part of the country, which
quickly take on an insurrectionary appearance. It calls for early
presidential and parliamentary elections and refuses to form a
government when approached by President Yanukovych and the Prime
Minister resigns. The events are baptized Euromaidan, then
Eurorevolution, by Radio Free Europe (run by the State Department).

The crowd control for the opposition is provided by Azatlyk, a group of
young Crimean Tatars who returned from Jihad in Syria especially for the
occasion [2].

The Atlanticist media champion the cause of the «democratic opposition»
and condemn Russian influence. High-profile Western figures turn up to
manifest their support to the protesters, including Victoria Nuland
(Assistant Secretary of State and former Ambassador to NATO) and John
McCain (Chairman of the Republican branch of the NED). For its part, the
Russian press condemns protesters who have taken to the streets to
overthrow democratically elected institutions.

At first, the movement seemed to be an attempt to orchestrate a second
«Orange Revolution.» But on 1 January 2014 the power in the street
changes hands. The Nazi «Freedom» party organizes a 15 000-strong
torch-lit march in memory of Stepan Bandera (1909-1959), the nationalist
leader who allied himself with the Nazis against the Soviets. Since this
event, the capital has been covered with anti-Semitic graffiti and
people are attacked on the street for being Jewish.

The pro-European opposition is made up of three political parties:

  The All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland" (Batkivshchyna), led by the
oligarch and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko (serving a prison
sentence following her convictions for embezzlement) and currently
headed by lawyer and former Parliament speaker Arseniy Yatsenyuk. It
stands for private property and the Western liberal model. It garnered
25.57% of the vote in the 2012 parliamentary elections.

  The Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform (Udar), of former boxing
world champion Vitali Klitschko. It claims to identify with Christian
Democracy and picked up 13.98% in the 2012 elections.

  The All-Ukrainian Union "Svoboda" (Freedom), led by the surgeon Oleh
Tyahnybok. This political group sprang from the National Socialist Party
of Ukraine. It promotes the denaturalization of Jewish Ukrainians. It
won 10.45% of the vote in the 2012 parliamentary elections.

These parliamentary parties have the support of:

  The Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists, a Nazi splinter group from the
former NATO stay-behind networks in the Eastern Bloc [3]. A Zionist, he
calls for the denaturalization and deportation of Ukrainian Jews to
Israel. He received 1.11% of the vote in 2012.

  The Ukrainian Self-Defense, a nationalist splinter group that sent its
members to fight the Russians in Chechnya and Ossetia during the
Georgian conflict. It got 0.08% of the vote in 2012.

In addition, the opposition has received the endorsement of the
Ukrainian Orthodox Church, in revolt against the Moscow Patriarchate.
Ever since the Nazi Party took over the streets, the demonstrators -
many of them wearing helmets and dressed in paramilitary uniforms - have
erected barricades and stormed government buildings. Certain elements of
the police force have also displayed great brutality, going so far as to
torture detainees. A dozen protesters were killed and nearly 2,000 were
wounded. The unrest spread to the western provinces of the country.

According to our information, the Ukrainian opposition seeks to import
military materials acquired on parallel markets. It is obviously not
possible to purchase weapons in Western Europe and bring them in without
NATO’s green light.

Washington’s strategy in Ukraine would appear to be a combination of
proven "color revolution" recipes with others recently concocted during
the "Arab Spring" [4]. Moreover, the United States makes no effort to
hide it, having dispatched two officials, Victoria Nuland (deputy to
John Kerry) and John McCain (who is not only a Republican senator, but
also the chairman of IRI, the Republican branch of the NED [5]) to
support the protesters. Unlike Libya and Syria, Washington does not have
jihadists on hand to sow chaos (except for Tatar extremists, but they
are only located in Crimea). It was therefore decided to lean on the
Nazis with whom the State Department worked against the Soviets and has
organized in political parties since Ukraine’s independence.

The inexperienced reader may be taken aback by this alliance between the
Obama administration and the Nazis. However, it must be remembered that
Ukrainian Nazis were publicly honored at the White House by President
Reagan, including Yaroslav Stetsko, Ukrainian Prime Minister under the
Third Reich, who became the head of the anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations
and a member of the World anti-Communist League [6]. One of his
deputies, Lev Dobriansky, became U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas, while
his daughter Paula Dobriansky served as Under Secretary of State for
Democracy (sic) during the George W. Bush administration. It is the same
Ms. Dobriansky who for ten years sponsored a historical research with
the aim of clouding the fact that the Holodomor, the famine that hit
Ukraine in 1932-33, also devastated Russia and Kazakhstan, thereby
reinforcing the myth that Stalin was determined to eliminate the
Ukrainian people [7].

In fact, Washington, who had supported the German Nazi party until 1939
and continued to do business with Nazi Germany until the end of 1941,
never had a moral problem with Nazism, not more than it has today in
providing military support to jihadism in Syria.

Western European elites, who use Nazism as a pretext to harass
firebrands - as seen with the "quenelle“ controversy over French
comedien Dieudonné M’Bala M’Bala [8] - seem to have forgotten what it
really is. In 2005, they closed their eyes to the rehabilitation of
Nazism by the President of Latvia, Vaira Vike-Freiberga, as if it were
something trivial [9]. On the simple strength of statements in favor of
the European Union, and wrapped up in their blissful Atlanticism, they
are now in cahoots their worst enemy.

Civil war could well start in the Ukraine during the Olympic Games in Sochi.
