A PNAC Protocol Victim - On the Destruction of Ukraine....

Interview 829 – Paul Craig Roberts Connects the Dots on the Ukrainian Revolution
Must Listen CRAudio - (Absolutely Outstanding) - (AdbFlshPlyr - 45min - Feb 25, 2014) - Websites:  CR@YuTb - CorbettRpt - Guest Websites:  PaulCraigRoberts - PCR@YuTb  -- A quote...."Dr. Paul Craig Roberts of PaulCraigRoberts.org joins us to discuss his take on recent events in Ukraine. We examine the historical roots of the crisis and look at the risks of further escalation in the current situation. We also take on the reluctance of those inside the beltway to point out the self-evident truths about the increasingly reckless actions of the American Empire."

12 Signs That Russia Is Ready To Fight A War Over Crimea
Must Read - A quote....."Russia will never, ever give up Crimea without a fight.  Anyone that thinks otherwise is just being delusional.  The Russian Black Sea fleet's main base at Sevastopol is far too strategically important.  In addition, ethnic Russians make up approximately 60 percent of the population of Crimea, and most of the population is rabidly pro-Russian.  In fact, many prominent Crimean politicians are already calling for reunification with Russia.  So if you have been thinking that Russia is just going to fold up shop and go home now that pro-European protesters have violently seized power in Kiev, you can quit holding your breath.  The truth is that Russia is more than willing to fight a war over Crimea.  And considering the fact that vitally important pipelines that pump natural gas from Russia to the rest of Europe go right through Ukraine, it is not likely that Russia will just willingly hand the rest of Ukraine over to the U.S. and the EU either.  If the U.S. and the EU push too hard in Ukraine, a major regional war may erupt which could ultimately lead to something much larger." - also posted at BLN

Interview 830 – William Engdahl Exposes the Western Agenda in Ukraine
Must Listen CRAudio - (AdbFlshPlyr - 45min - Feb 27, 2014) - Websites:  CR@YuTb - CorbettRpt - A quote...."In this wide-ranging interview, author and geopolitical analyst William Engdahl of WilliamEngdahl.com breaks down the history and context of the geopolitical machinations in Ukraine. We talk about the US/NATO encirclement of Russia and the evidence of western intervention in the ongoing Ukrainian crisis. We also discuss the breakdown of the Saudi-US relationship and the destabilization of the Middle East, as well as China’s increasing geopolitical influence around the globe."

The Coup in Ukraine: Obama’s Dumbest Plan Yet
Must Read - A quote...."As you probably know by now, Obama and Co. have ousted Ukraine’s democratically-elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, with the help of ultra-right, paramilitary, neo-Nazi gangs who seized and burned government offices, killed riot police, and spread mayhem and terror across the country. These are America’s new allies in the Great Game, the grand plan to “pivot to Asia” by pushing further eastward, toppling peaceful governments, securing vital pipeline corridors, accessing scarce oil and natural gas reserves and dismantling the Russian Federation consistent with the strategy proposed by geopolitical mastermind, Zbigniew Brzezinski. Brzezinski’s magnum opus–”The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and it’s Geostrategic Imperatives” has become the Mein Kampf for aspiring western imperialists. It provides the basic blueprint for establishing US military-political-economic hegemony in the century’s most promising and prosperous region, Asia."

The Rape of Ukraine – Phase Two Begins
Must Read - A quote...."The events in Ukraine since November 2013 are so astonishing as almost to defy belief. An legitimately-elected (said by all international monitors) Ukrainian President, Viktor Yanukovich, has been driven from office, forced to flee as a war criminal after more than three months of violent protest and terrorist killings by so-called opposition. -- His “crime” according to protest leaders was that he rejected an EU offer of a vaguely-defined associate EU membership that offered little to Ukraine in favor of a concrete deal with Russia that gave immediate €15 billion debt relief and a huge reduction in Russian gas import prices. Washington at that point went into high gear and the result today is catastrophe."

Yats, as Victoria Nuland, the Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs at the U.S. State Department, called him, is a natural choice. He is a millionaire former banker who served as economy minister, foreign minister and parliamentary speaker before Yanukovych took office in 2010." - Source: InfoWars - also posted at HangTheBankers

Washington's Man Yatsenyuk Setting Ukraine Up For Ruin
Must Read - Related Article - A quote...."Ukraine’s interim prime minister, Arseniy “Yats” Yatsenyuk, may prove to be arsenic to the beleaguered nation. -- “Recall the phone exchange between the Ukraine ambassador and Victoria Nuland (Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs) that got leaked out, where she basically said ‘we want Yats in there.’ They like him because he’s pro Western,” says Vladimir Signorelli, president of boutique investment research firm Bretton Woods Research LLC in New Jersey. “Yatsenyuk is the the kind of technocrat you want if you want austerity, with the veneer of professionalism,” Signorelli said. “He’s the type of guy who can hobnob with the European elite. A Mario Monti type: unelected and willing to do the IMFs bidding,” he said." - bold by website editor - Source:  Forbes

How International Financial Elites Change Governments to Implement Austerity
Must Read - Related Article - A quote...."Many countries around the world are plagued by all kinds of armed rebellions, economic sanctions, civil wars, “democratic” coup d’états and/or wars of “regime change.” These include Ukraine, Venezuela, Syria, Thailand, Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Somalia and Lebanon. Even in the core capitalist countries the overwhelming majority of citizens are subjected to brutal wars of economic austerity. -- While not new, social convulsions seem to have become more numerous in recent years. They have become especially more frequent since the mysterious 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001 and the 2008 financial collapse in the United States, which soon led to similar financial implosions and economic crises in Europe and beyond."

IMF Vultures Swoop to Asset-Strip Ukraine
A quote...."(PaulWatson) - Following a western-backed coup, the IMF is wasting little time in sending its vultures to asset strip Ukraine, with the announcement that the International Monetary Fund will offer financial assistance in return for “policy reforms”. -- Issuing the IMF’s first official response to the crisis, managing director Christine Lagarde said IMF officials would be dispatched to Ukraine to, “start discussing with the Ukrainian authorities which policy reforms would be required in exchange for an emergency loan program,” reports the Associated Press." - Source:  InfoWars

EU prepares poisoned loan for Ukraine
A quote...."The EU reported its willingness to provide significant financial assistance to Ukraine. This is allegedly done to cover the need of $35 billion for this and subsequent years. Experts believe that the EU will strongly promote their loan because geopolitical ambitions are at stake. But what would it mean for Kiev? Pravda.Ru tried to figure this out." - Source:  Pravda

Ukraine’s Sickness & Europe’s Cure
A quote...."In exchange for European “aid”, Ukraine will be forced to accept the driving down of wages, significant cuts to the public sector and social services, in addition to a rise in taxes on the working class and slashing of pensions.  Moreover, the country will be compelled to accede to a liberalization program that will allow Europe to dump goods into the Ukrainian market, deregulation and the further opening up the country’s financial sector to predatory speculation and privatization. -- It doesn’t take psychic powers to predict these developments.  One merely has to look at the wave of austerity in European countries such as Greece and Cyprus." - Exactly!! - mpg

Ukrainian Democracy: A Barrier to Washington’s Goals
A quote...."U.S. officials are quite open about their opposition to Ukrainian self-determination and well-aware how unpopular Washington’s preferred policies are.  Nearly a decade ago, for example, the U.S. House of Representatives’ Subcommittee on Europe met for a hearing on “Ukraine’s Future and U.S. Interests.”  Rep. Doug Bereuter (R-NE) opened the session, noting that “a recent survey conducted by a center for economic and political research suggests that up to 40 percent of Ukrainians believe that relations with Russia should be a priority.”  Meanwhile, “28 percent gave preference to the EU,” and [only] “2 percent said that relations with the U.S. should be a foreign policy priority.  Another survey suggested that almost two-thirds of the population would consider supporting a political union with Russia,” Bereuter concluded.  “So,” he went on, “I think that United States policy must remain focused” on incorporating Ukraine “into European and Euro-Atlantic structures.”  Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) spoke next, reiterating that U.S. policy should “further Ukraine’s integration in Euro-Atlantic institutions;” Steven Pifer, the former Ambassador to Ukraine, drove the point home, outlining “the United States Government’s vision for Ukraine”: “increasingly close ties to Europe and Euro-Atlantic institutions.” - bold by website editor

Ukraine Protests Carefully Orchestrated: The Role of CANVAS, US-Financed “Color Revolution Training Group” -- Must Read - A quote...."The recent protests in Ukraine have the stench of a foreign-orchestrated attempt to destabilize the government of Viktor Yanukovych after he walked away from signing an EU Association Agreement that would have driven a deep wedge between Russia and Ukraine. Glamor-star boxer-turned political guru, Vitaly Klitschko, has been meeting with the US State Department and is close to Angela Merkel’s CDU political machine in Germany. -- The EU association agreement with Ukraine is widely resisted by many EU member states with deep economic problems of their own. The two EU figures most pushing it—Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt and Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski—are both well known in the EU as close to Washington."

Pierre Omidyar Co-funded Ukraine Revolution Groups With US Government, Documents Show
Documents - Related Article - A quote...."Just hours after last weekend’s ouster of Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, one of Pierre Omidyar’s newest hires at national security blog “The Intercept,” was already digging for the truth. - Marcy Wheeler, who is the new site’s “senior policy analyst,” speculated that the Ukraine revolution was likely a “coup” engineered by “deep forces” on behalf of “Pax Americana”:

“There’s quite a bit of evidence of coup-ness. Q is how many levels deep interference from both sides is.”

"These are serious claims. So serious that I decided to investigate them. And what I found was shocking."

The Geopolitical Dimensions of the Coup in Ukraine – A Struggle for Power and Influence
A quote...."When the Soviet Union was collapsing in late 1991, Dick wanted to see the dismantlement not only of the Soviet Union and the Russian empire but of Russia itself, so it could never again be a threat to the rest of the world,” wrote former US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in his recently published memoirs. Gates was referring to the then-Secretary of Defense, and later US Vice President, Dick Cheney. -- The statement sheds light on the geopolitical dimensions of the recent putsch in Ukraine. What is at stake is not so much domestic issues—and not at all the fight against corruption and democracy—but rather an international struggle for power and influence that stretches back a quarter of a century."

Ukraine: A Dangerous Divide
A quote...."Mission Accomplished, but this time the battle is only just beginning. -- The removal of the Yanukovych government in Ukraine and the running street battles in Kiev have provided a convenient distraction to the debacle in Syria and America’s continuing inability to get its actions to match its words. It has little to do with the Ukrainian people, however. -- We are continually told that this is a conflict between pro-EU Western Ukraine and pro-Russian Eastern Ukraine. In fact the Western objections to Ukraine’s refusal to sign the EU Association Agreement had little to do with the ongoing public protests against the general conduct of the Yanukovych government, which affected the whole population. The two sides of the country have been pitted against each other to fulfill US policy objectives – and once again people have been killed, in another country, to achieve these."

Carnival in Crimea
A quote...."The absolute majority of the Crimean peninsula is populated by Russian speakers. Very few Ukrainians live there. In 1954, it took only 15 minutes for Ukrainian Nikita Krushchev - he of the banging shoe at the UN floor - to give Crimea as a free gift to Ukraine (then part of the USSR). In Russia, Crimea is perceived as Russian. Nothing will change that fact. -- We're not facing a new Crimean War - yet. Only up to a point. NATO's wet dream is one thing; it is quite another to pull it off - as in ending the Russian fleet routinely leaving Sevastopol across the Black Sea through the Bosphorus and then reaching Tartus, Syria's Mediterranean port. So yes, this is as much about Syria as about Crimea." - also posted at ICH

Situation in Ukraine is 'completely beyond framework of law' - VoR global discussion forum
A quote...."The Voice of Russia’s Global Discussion community asked its members about their thoughts on the ongoing Ukrainian crisis. What exactly transpires there, how legal is it, what awaits Ukraine now? - The majority agrees that there is a coup d’état in progress in Ukraine, and that there is nothing legal about the ongoing transition of power there...."

US 'supports neo-Nazis' group Svoboda in Ukraine: Investigative journalist
A quote...."The American government supports neo-Nazis, but I just find it absolutely ironic that those who are neoconservative and pro-Israel are also supporting neo-Nazis who made a large portion of Ukrainian illegal government,” he told Press TV on Tuesday."

Crimean parliament sacks regional government, approves referendum
A quote...."The Supreme Council of Ukraine’s Autonomous Republic of Crimea has dismissed the regional government, electing a pro-Russian party leader as its new chair. The MPs have also voted in favor of holding a referendum to decide the future of Crimea on May 25."

ISIL lays down rules for Christians in northern Syria
Hagee's Hordes are no doubt deeply upset that the Christians aren't simply going to be slaughtered.   But taxing them to destruction will obliterate Christianity in Syria and eventually  fulfill Oded Yinon's plan to destroy that country per Israel's PNAC Protocols. -- So it's a consolation prize. - mpg -- A quote..."BEIRUT (AFP) -- A Wahhabi militant group in Syria said Wednesday that Christians in the city of Raqqa will have to pay taxes and hold religious rituals behind closed doors, under a set of rules."

Israel's Role In Ukraine
Must Read - A quote...."In the events that have unfolded in Ukraine during the past weeks, the role of Israel is by far the most interesting. As far as the Americans and the European Union are concerned, it is a question of pursuing old-fashioned power politics vis-à-vis Russia with a view to minimizing the latter's influence in Europe. The role of Israel, on the other hand, can be adequately appraised only by taking into account the financial interests of the following individuals, whose plight was reported by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz on 2 July 2013...." - Some historical reminders of that role.....

A quote...."In my 30 years as the Washington DC bureau chief for Inter Press Service, only one institution has denied me admission to their press or public event. That was the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) shortly after the broadcast in 2003 of a BBC Panorama (its equivalent, more or less, of our “60 Minutes”) program on neoconservatives and their promotion of the Iraq war entitled “The War Party” in which I was interviewed at several intervals. In that case, I was told forthrightly (and somewhat apologetically) by the think tank’s then-communications chief, Veronique Rodman, that “someone from above” had objected strongly to the show."

In 2004, the Israeli government sold their interest to the Israeli Ofer Brothers Group, which then became the sole owner of the company.[1] On 9/11, Zim’s headquarters was in Haifa, Israel, and it had worldwide regional offices in Hong Kong, Hamburg, Germany, and Manhattan, New York/Norfolk, Virginia.[2] -- At the time of the 9/11 attacks Zim was one of [only] two Israeli companies with lease contracts at the World Trade Center. The other Israeli tenant, Clear Forest, had a small office of 18 employees on the 47th floor of WTC 1 (the North Tower).

More International Tales From the Declining Neo-Roman ZOG Controlled Empire....

The Strategy of Global Corporate Imperialism
Must Read - A quote...."Imperialism has long been a collective disease for humanity. In its current perverse capitalist incarnation, imperialism’s methods have become even more brutal and ruthless. If the physical destruction of a country’s infrastucture is still in the foreground, this is used in conjunction with the creation or revival of civil wars, ethnic or bloody sectarian conflicts in previously stable national entities. Corporate imperialism aims to break the national spirit. The few remaining sovereign nations are the final obstacles to the looming threat of a global transnational corporate empire. Corporate imperialism’s only concern is the bottom line: it is on a permanent quest to maximize profit. It is not about bringing the supposed gift of civilization to savages anymore, unlike the old-fashioned  imperialist adventures. In this context, why bother to rebuild the shattered countries when the only goal is to plunder resources, either natural or human? Public resources are allocated to reconstruction, but these resources usually disappear in black holes of corporate war profiteers such as Halliburton in the US. Wrecked countries are never rebuilt because they are easier to exploit while they are in a shambles." - Topix ||  Economic Hit Men - Def. ||  Jackals - Def.  ||  Hyenas - Def.  ||  Golems - Def.  ||  The Ten Year Economic / Warfare Cycle  ||  Some Definitions  ||

Philip Giraldi : Diplomacy Is a Four Letter Word
Must Read - Graphic - (click to enlarge) -- A quote...."Why is the United States so reluctant to negotiate with other countries and so prone to leap immediately to the option of using force or chicanery in lieu of a more deliberative foreign policy? It might partly be because we Americans are not very good at the subtlety and give-and-take that diplomacy requires, but it could also be because our framework for operating, which shapes what we do and how we do it, is hopelessly skewed. One might even argue that the dominant neoconservative way of thinking has thoroughly infected both parties’ perceptions of how a foreign policy is supposed to work, leading official Washington to see everything in terms of "us and them" while at the same time exonerating every American misstep by citing the largely bogus national security argument to explain places like Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran."

The 1st Commandment of U.S. Imperial Pursuits: What’s Good for the Goose is NOT Good for the Gander!
A quote...."It is time for our government to put aside diplomatic lingo and modified expressions and just state the facts as they see and believe them...."

• Fact: We are currently threading our way through a unipolar world as a super-power nation; unchallenged.
• Fact: As a super-power nation with multi-fronted imperial pursuits we lay out the rules; solely.

US exit strategy in Afghanistan shadows 1989 Soviet withdrawal
Special Note - A quote...."On the twenty fifth anniversary of the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban have likened the success of the holy war fought against the Soviets to the “jihad” now forcing the United States and its allies out of Afghanistan. While it remains unclear how post US involvement in Afghanistan will compare to what followed the Soviet occupation in 1989, there are important parallels that can be drawn from the experience of both former Cold War rivals as they sought to cut their losses and withdraw from the so-called “graveyard of empires”.

China issues report on U.S. human rights
A quote...." A Chinese idiom says that all will follow one who is personally upright, even though he does not give orders; but if he is not personally upright, they will not follow, even though he gives orders. -- Attributed to Confucius (551 BC-479 BC), one of the greatest Chinese philosophers in history, the idiom is an important tenet for the Chinese. -- In another example of this idiom, China on Friday published a report on the U.S. human rights situation, finding that the hypercritical Uncle Sam has turned out to be a poor performer in human rights issues."

Prelude to World War - We are Hungry in Three Languages
A quote...."On 24 February 2014 US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel held a press conference to announce some of the details of Pentagon’s 2015 budget.

He also seemed to express a bit of disgust for nation building of the type attempted by the USA in Iraq and Afghanistan." - also posted at ICH

A quote...."I’m seeing a false narrative being constructed by the media around the Iran nuclear talks which, as usual, will become repeated so often that it becomes ‘true’ by virtue of repetition, as is the case usually with most of the conventional wisdom about Iran. - According to this false narrative, Iran was engaged in nuclear “weapons-related” research which was stopped in 2003, mostly, and this was the cause of the confusion all along and the reason why the US thought Iran was making nukes and not negotiating with Iran." - Source:  IranAffairs

A lagging economy and a level of personal freedom that is below par to say the least present clear reasons for Venezuelans to be disgruntled. -- This latest Venezuelan “revolution,” however, does not appear to be the result of a popular uprising against an oppressive government but yet another Western-backed destabilization campaign aimed at wrecking the existing government and replacing it with another regime more favorable to the goals of the Anglo-Western interests and international banking cartels."

In recent days, President Obama, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and several others have issued numerous statements regarding the protests. In the US major media, The New York Times has published articles nearly every day since the protests began. Extensive reporting can also be found in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and The Washington Post. - It is worth comparing the extent of this coverage to protests of similar importance next door to Venezuela." - Source:  CEPR

Controlling Public Art By Lawsuit: Japanese-American Citizens Sue To Remove "Comfort Women" Memorial
One wonders what all those Amerikan Neo-Liberal women think of this move by Japanese Amerikan plaintiffs, inspired by Amerika's green-light for the total re-militarization of Japan?? - mpg -- A quote...."During the Second World War, the Empire of Japan sexually enslaved women — at least tens of thousands, and perhaps hundreds of thousands — to be raped by its troops. They were forcibly seized from the countries Japan occupied, primarily Korea. Though Japan officially apologized in 1993, in recent years right-wing forces in Japan have been seeking to retract those apologies, asserting that the enslaved women were actually voluntary prostitutes, or that the Empire itself wasn't involved in any coercion. This attempted walkback can best be understood in the broader context of Japanese nationalist politics, in which right-wing politicians play to their base by doing things like visiting shrines honoring war criminals.  - Now Japanese-American plaintiffs, served by American megafirm Mayer Brown, are pursuing the agenda of reactionary Japanese politicians through despicable litigation."

Related Article - A quote...."I think it raises a lot of questions about why that information didn’t become public and why the 9/11 Commission or the congressional intelligence committees weren’t told about it,” former Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.) said. Hoekstra chaired the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence from 2004 through 2007. -- “This is just one more of these examples that will go into the conspiracy theorists’ notebooks, who say the authorities are not telling us everything,” he added. “That’s bad for the intelligence community.

Why Do Good People Become Silent—or Worse—about 9/11?
Related Article - From the History File - © by Frances T. Shure, 2013 -- A quote...."We shall begin on the lighter side with George Orwell’s brilliant concept of “doublethink.” In Orwell’s classic novel, 1984, doublethink means the capacity to hold two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously and accept both of them. -- In Orwell’s not-so-fictional novel, the term “doublethink” is a Newspeak word that is replacing the Oldspeak term, “reality control.” Newspeak is a new politically correct language with a very limited vocabulary, developed by the controlling powers (the High) for the purposes of controlling the public’s worldview and limiting the possibility of independent thought. In other words, controlling words permitted in the language would result in controlling the thoughts people would be able to have."

The Fifth Amendment Lies in Crumbles
A quote...."The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads in part as follows...."

"Nor shall any person … be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

"The term “due process of law” stretches all the way back to Magna Carta, the great charter extracted from King John in 1215 in which he was forced to acknowledge that his power over the citizenry was not omnipotent. It stated in part...."

"No freeman shall be taken, imprisoned, disseised, outlawed, banished, or in any way destroyed, nor will We proceed against or prosecute him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land."

"That phrase — “law of the land” — ultimately evolved into the phrase “due process of law,” the phrase found in the Fifth Amendment."

Well...."the fifth amendment" hasn't crumbled yet, it's still there.  The fact we have criminal politicians violating and ignoring it with impunity is the problem.  So....let's eliminate the problem, don't vote for DemoRepubs / RepubliCrats ever again.

The State's War Against Truth
Must Read - A quote...."February 25, 2014 "Information Clearing House - February 22nd was the 71st anniversary of the murder of Sophie and Hans Scholl and their friend Christopher Probst. They were young people, in their early twenties, who lived in Munich, Germany. They, along with other members of a peaceful, anti-war group known as White Rose, published leaflets informing fellow-Germans of the wrongs being engaged in by the Nazi regime. The three were caught with such leaflets, quickly tried for the crime of “high-treason” and immediately executed by guillotine. -- At her trial, Sophie testified: “Somebody, after all, had to make a start.” Her final words were: “How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause.” When, in 2003, a nation-wide poll asked Germans to select the most important people in the history of Germany, Sophie and Hans Scholl finished in fourth place. They came out ahead of such men as Bach, Goethe, Gutenberg, Bismarck, Brandt, and Einstein!"

Ukraine Crisis Portends Apocalypse
Must Read - InfoGraphic-Map - (click to view) -- A quote...."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."

So? What? -- The Neocons (mostly Euro-Kazarian Zio-PNAC'ers) have supported Wahhabist Jihadists and their various bloody rampages throughout the Middle East for over thirty years, and have recently -- unashamedly and publicly -- done so in both Libya and Syria. Not one of these hundreds of so-called fundamentalist, radical, organ-eating, head-chopping, Wahhabist, Jihadist, factions have EVER mounted an attack against Israel's strategic interests in that entire thirty year period.

Supporting a bunch of Neo-Nazis therefore would be par for the course. Hitler was a one-off goof-up, which is why they say "never again".  No doubt they feel they can play Ukraine's rather small band of merry mini-Nazis more successfully this time around than the last time. 

Only time will tell.

Remember...."divide and conquer" or more specifically...."divide, conquer and continuous play action" is their golden motto. -- Also known as "dynamic tension", "creative destruction"  or "problem reaction solution = more problem, reaction, solution." - It's good for their business model, good for their bottom line, very good for their geo-political interests....and really bad for everyone else. 

Like most parasites though, they simply don't care.  - mpg

Will NATO Annex Ukraine?
Special Note - A quote...."February 25, 2014 "Information Clearing House -   Anyone who believes Washington is deeply enamored of ‘democracy’ in Ukraine must hit eBay, where Saddam Hussein’s WMDs have been found, and are on sale to the highest bidder. - Or pay attention to the non-denial denials of the Obama administration, which swears on a daily basis there’s no ‘proxy war’ or Cold War redux in Ukraine. - In a nutshell; Washington’s bipartisan Ukraine policy has always been anti-Moscow. That implies regime change whenever necessary. As the European Union (EU), geopolitically, is nothing but an annex to NATO, what matters is NATO extending its borders to the Ukraine. Or at least Western Ukraine – which would be a valuable consolation prize."

Attempts of EU, far-right opposition to set up Ukraine government collapse
Special Note - A quote...."Attempts to set up a government by the Western-backed Ukrainian opposition forces that seized power in Saturday’s fascist putsch have collapsed amid rising demands for social attacks on the working class from Washington and the European Union (EU), and military tensions with Russia. -- EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton left Kiev yesterday after two days of fruitless talks attempting to bring the different opposition parties together in a government. The putsch, cynically hailed by the Western media as a struggle for democracy, is proving to be an operation to forcibly install a filthy dictatorship of imperialist finance capital. Opposition officials estimated this week that Ukraine needs up to $35 billion to refinance its debts. However, the major international banks have effectively cut off credit to Ukraine, charging ruinously high interest rates that it cannot afford. Meanwhile, Russia has withdrawn its offer of $15 billion in aid after the putsch toppled Russian-backed President Viktor Yanukovych."

Russian Troops Take Up Positions In Sevastopol As Ukraine Teeters On The Brink Of Civil War
A quote...."Russian military vehicles have been photographed in the main square of Sevastopol, and there are fears that Ukraine is about to plunge into a very bloody civil war.  The pro-Russian eastern half of Ukraine is in a state of shock, and many living there are openly calling on Russia to militarily intervene to protect them against the protest groups that have seized power in Kiev.  Down in the Crimea, where approximately 60 percent of the population is ethnically Russian, militia groups have formed to protect their region from the “fascist scum running around in Kiev with swastikas“.  That quote is from a recent Time Magazine article, and it demonstrates the extreme level of tension that exists between the two halves of Ukraine right now.  Perhaps a peaceful resolution can still be achieved, but at the moment a civil war seems quite likely.  And if war does erupt, the truth is that it is going to be exceedingly difficult for Russia to stay out of it."

Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” -- *Edward Bernays*, from his book....Propaganda -- also posted at ZeroHedge

Must Read - A quote..."February 23, 2014 "Information Clearing House - "Daily Mail" - Television pictures of revolutions can make them seem like a spectator sport.-- Having Vitali Klitschko, the world heavyweight boxing champion, playing a starring role in the events in Kiev reinforces that impression. -- But the implosion of the Ukrainian state in the last 48 hours is a political earthquake. -- Chaos in Kiev could set off a tsunami that will toss Western Europe from its moorings too. -- It is a mistake to think we are watching from a safe distance."

USA and EU Are Erecting a Nazi Regime on Ukrainian Territory
Must Read - A quote...."Events in Ukraine are exciting the whole world. We need to understand the essence of what is happening. The Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, as a party of the Left Opposition, which fought and is fighting against the course of the domestic and foreign policies pursued under the direction of the Orange destabilization and Yushchenko, and against the Alliance Party of Regions and the Communist Party led by Yanukovych, considers it necessary to give an assessment. -- On February 22, militants and terrorists of the Euromaidan Parliament [i.e. the Kiev fascist mob] executed a neo-Nazi coup using armed force. -- Violating all norms of the Constitution, international law, and trampling European values, Parliament exceeded its authority and committed criminal acts. Washington and Brussels — who told the world and all mankind that Euromaidan is a nonviolent action of the Ukrainian people, to make a European choice and protect democracy and European values — should now honestly admit that the Ukrainian people got nothing. They used a Nazi coup, carried out by the insurgents, terrorists and politicians of Euromaidan to serve the geopolitical interests of the West." -- *Natalia Vitrenko* - Chairman of the Progressive Socialist Party [of Ukraine] "

Democracy Murdered By Protest — Ukraine Falls To Intrigue and violence
Special Note - A quote...."Who’s in charge? 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."

Yet, you would not know this from listening to such media outlets and networks as CNN or Fox News or reading the headlines being produced by Reuters and the state-owned British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

Ukraine: NSA "Leak" As A Threat To Merkel
A quote...."The United States and the EU disagree about the Ukraine. The Europeans would prefer not to incite the Russians (hey, they deliver the gas that heats our homes) and would prefer some compromise outcome in the Ukraine. That was the very reason why the EU financial offer to the Ukraine was paltry to begin with and had to be rejected. The U.S. wants a confrontation with Russia and a totally compliant puppet regime in Ukraine. While Merkel would like to install her protege boxer Klitschko in the Ukraine she does not want to pay for it - at least not much. The U.S. dislikes Merkel's choice and wants to install its own oligarch. That the very reason why the neocon U.S. assistant secretary of state Victoria Nuland said "fuck the EU". -- Now the U.S. managed to take down the political structure in the Ukraine and it wants to take over the whole show. But it still wants Europe, especially Germany, to pay for the mess."

"Clearly Mr Yanukovych was not going to make the dictated political reforms, nor was he going to appoint a true technocratic government.

Twenty-Two separate government agencies were merged into an Orwellian nightmare, supposedly devoted to protecting all Americans from every danger known to mankind.
