The tale of how the internet discovered America’s hand in the Ukrainian cookie jar…

[CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THIS COLUMN’S COMPANION RADIO SHOW, ORIGINALLY BROADCAST ON 15 MARCH 2014]

On the other side of the globe, Jackals in Kiev sniped police and protesters alike, killing 94. In the following weeks a trickle of leaks ushered in a typhoon of recorded phone calls and classified materials, compelling those responsible for the massacre out of the shadows. 2014’s revelations transformed the Ukrainian Maidan uprising event from merely another isolated populist movement in the global jigsaw puzzle, into a Rosetta Stone that reveals the depth to which America’s power players are willing to plunge in order to maintain and expand America’s imperial dominance.

When Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland placed a phone call to US ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, Neither of them suspected every word of their conversation would later go viral online. Now that we’ve heard them conspiring to overthrow the democratically elected leader of Ukraine, our government’s method for Empire building lingers in plain sight, even for those who haven’t been paying attention. As John Perkins makes painfully clear in his Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, this kind of spy-craft manipulation as happened many times before. But what sets the Ukrainian overthrow apart from the South American coups outlined by Perkins is the number and quality of smoking guns that this catastrophe has left behind.

A tidal wave of damning evidence has sprung out of the Ukraine and onto the internet, allowing a moment to admire these choreographed events as the signature blueprint, detailing how the largest multinational Empire in recorded history spreads its tentacles around the world. Of what consequence are events unfolding on the other side of the planet to us, and why should we care? Preventing World War Three might seem a good start. But how the situation in Ukraine has unfolded online has forever exposed the puppet masters who exploit nations indiscriminately if they have resources coveted by the empire.

HISTORY DOESN’T REPEAT, BUT IT DOES RHYME

Ukraine has functioned as the borderlands between East and West for a long time now and the Crimean peninsula remains strategically significant due to its location on the Black Sea’s northern shore, extending out from the south-eastern tip of Ukraine. During Ukraine’s involvement with the USSR, Joseph Stalin deported hundreds of thousands of native Crimean Tatars out of the country and replaced them with ethnic Russians in an effort to gain dominance over Ukraine’s industrial center and establish access to the prime Naval real estate. When Stalin died in 1953 he was succeeded by Nikita Khrushchev who transferred the Crimean peninsula from Russia’s SFSR to Ukrainian SSR the following year in 1954. Khrushchev emphasized the friendship between the Ukrainian and Russian nations as he was intimately familiar with the Ukrainian republic, having served as First Secretary of the Communist Party of Ukrainian SSR for more than a decade. As a peninsula that was transferred from the Russian Soviet Republic to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic in 1954, Crimea has long maintained strong cultural and political ties to Moscow. Most of Crimea’s population is Russian speaking and Russia’s Black Sea fleet still maintains a naval base at the Crimean port city of Sevastopol.

Within the Russian government, Khrushchev was succeeded by Leonid Brezhnev in 1964. Brezhnev  lead until his death in 1982, when Yuri Andropov took over. Fifteen months after taking office, Andropov died and Konstantin Chernenko took command. Thirteen months later and Chernenko too dropped dead, ushering in the seventh and final undisputed leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev.

By the late 1980’s the Soviet Union was collapsing, and by 1991 a conservative faction within Soviet Communist lines staged a failed coup d’état to remove Mikhail Gorbachev. On 24 August 1991 the Ukrainian parliament declared Ukraine an independent democratic state, and by December of 1991 Ukraine held a nationwide referendum wherein an overwhelming majority of all Ukrainians voted for independence from Russia, voting in Leonid Kravchuk as the first president of Ukraine.

In 1994 Leonid Kuchuma succeeded Kravchuk as the second president, serving two terms until the 21 November 2004 elections, when Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych (formerly the head of the National Bank of Ukraine) won the presidential election and took over the Soviet reigns. Rumors ran wild that Yanukovych’s victory was the result of electoral fraud, voter intimidation and massive corruption, prompting public protests that led to the now infamous Orange Revolution of 2004. Nationwide protests ensued, spurring mass civil disobedience, sit-ins, and general strikes with demonstrations centered in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. The Ukrainian Supreme Court annulled the original election results and ordered a re-vote on the 26th of December 2004. The second “run-off” vote in the end was determined to be a fair election, transferring victory to Viktor Yushchenko and ending the Orange Revolution.

Yushchenko was mysteriously poisoned that same year with dioxin TCDD – a contaminant in Agent Orange. Though he survived the poisoning, he became permanently disfigured physically. Yushchenko’s failures as a leader could be described as large and numerous, and his administration was shrouded in corruption. But Yanukovych was not permanently defeated, and became Yushchenko’s successor in 2010 in a vote that was once again declared by apparently objective international observers as “free and fair.” Yanukovych subsequently lead the country all the way up to the crisis unfolding in 2014.

In November of 2013, Yanukovych announced that Ukraine would abandon its agreement to strengthen ties with the European Union, instead choosing to strengthen ties with Russia. This decision is what incited protests in Kiev’s Independence Square. The demonstrations officially began on 24 November 2013, according to mainstream media pundits, as an expression of outrage against President Yanukovych’s “pause on the road to Europe.” Those protests turned into riots, growing larger and louder until 20 February 2014 when the world watched in horror as dozens of people were shot and killed by sniper fire in Kiev.

The murders disbursed the protesters and threw the situation into a deeper state of confusion. When Yanakovich disappeared from the Ukraine, it was widely assumed that he and his supporters were responsible for the appalling murders of 94 people. But a phone conversation between the European Union’s Foreign Affairs Minister Catherine Ashton and Estonia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Urmas Paet leaked to public on 05 March 2014, reveals that said snipers were actually working for the new coalition government. The conversation also reveals that Western diplomats were not only aware of this fact, but actively participated in helping to cover it up:

“The people who were killed by snipers from both sides among policemen and then people from the streets, that they were the same snipers killing people from both sides. Then she also showed me some photos she said that as a medical doctor can say it is the same handwriting; the same type of bullets. And its really disturbing that now the new coalition, that they don’t want to investigate what exactly happened so that now there is stronger and stronger understanding that behind the snipers it was not Yanakovich, but it was somebody from the new coalition.”

~Urmas Paet to Catherine Ashton

When Yanukovich’s government announced that it would not sign a key trade agreement with the EU in favor of one with Russia nearly four months ago, nobody expected Kiev to tear itself apart as a result. And even though everyone assumed Yanukovich was behind these sniper killings, its becoming more obvious by the day that he had nothing to do with them. Perhaps his life, like those in Kiev’s Independence Square, was also under threat. The trade deal prompted many Ukrainians to begin protesting, but the situation remained peaceful until February.  If corruption is the complaint, how could an alliance with the EU possibly help? Ukrainian corruption will not be alleviated by joining one of the most corrupt institutions on the planet, indicating that whatever genuine, grassroots, peaceful protests may have existed in the beginning, have since been co-opted and redirected. And as astute students of history will observe, we’ve all heard this story many times before.

 ‘I AM A UKRAINIAN’ VIRAL STATE DEPARTMENT HOAX

As this crisis unfolds and casualties accumulate on both sides, gaining speed is the struggle to control public perception of why this is happening. The official narrative sponsored by the pressitutes within the mainstream media claims these protests are peaceful, grassroots demonstrations. However, these so-called protesters have seized weapons, commandeered government buildings, assaulted media outlets and bloodied Ukraine in escalating violence. But affording legitimacy to the violent Ukrainian uprising is a 2-minute viral YouTube video called, ‘I Am A Ukrainian. It is eerily reminiscent of the KONY-2012 scam which sought to convince millions of people with simplified emotional propaganda of the immediate necessity of US military intervention in Uganda. In the case of, ‘I AM A Ukrainian,’ a backdrop of inspirational music serves as the electronic canvas for a young woman named Julia declaring that the Ukrainian uprising is about democracy and freedom. Julia insists that there is only one reason people in her country are on the streets, a contention which not only insults the intelligence of anyone familiar with the rich history, complex demographics, and multifaceted geopolitical factors centering on a a global tug-of-war between the United States, the European Union, and Russia:

“I want you to know why thousands of people all over my country are on the streets. There is only one reason: We want to be free from a dictatorship.”

Following the links in the description of the video quickly make it obvious that the origins of the video are not as grassroots as many have been led to believe. It was filmed by Ben Moses and produced by the same team behind A Whisper to a Roar (a documentary chronicling the worldwide fight for democracy); it was funded by Prince Moulay Hicham of Morocco; it was inspired by Larry Diamond of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) – America’s most influential political think tank who’s members have dominated every presidential administration since FDR and maintains very close ties with the US State Department headed up by Hillary Clinton. Larry Diamond worked closely with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) as well as the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which is considered to be the CIA’s civilian arm. NED is deeply embroiled with innumerable instigated uprisings, attempted coups and other inhuman acts of neo-Colonial regime change since its inception in 1983, including the contrived Orange Revolution that brought US Puppet Victor Yushchenko to power in Ukraine in 2004. Under the auspices of the NED, Larry diamond also played instrumental role in the Arab Spring, supposedly a series of grassroots revolts which were in fact organized and managed by NED and other NGO’s tied in the CFR. [1] The viral, ‘I Am A Ukrainian,’ video appears to be another crude attempt to shift perception away from the western powers who have instigated the uprising, and persuade the public the Ukrainian uprising is a genuinely peaceful, grassroots movement. Larry Diamond also happens to be an adviser for the US State Department.

Confirming this suspicion was the fact that following the video’s release, Julia was immediately invited to appear on CNN with Anderson Cooper, who for some reason is often the point-man for contrived hoaxes perpetrated by the US State Department, including the KONY-2012 scam and the Syria Danny scam (in which a supposed Syrian activist was caught staging YouTube videos to blame atrocities on the Assad Regime as a means of demonizing the Syrian government, thereby justifying US military intervention in Syria). Cooper and other presstitutes within the mainstream media credited Julia with the creation of the video (music and all) when it was, in fact, created by a production company linked directly to the US State Department, funded by a Moroccan prince, filmed by a former ABC television affiliate, and inspired by Larry “CFR-NED” Diamond of California’s Stanford University.

NED claims to be a Non Government Organization (NGO) even though they receive all of their funding from the federal government pouring money into Ukraine for the stated purpose of “Strengthening Democracy and Civil Society.” These flowery words amount to the financial support of dozens of violent Ukrainian groups, some of whom call for the assassination of political opponents. NED directs funding by paying those who participate in the uprising with cash, and providing arms. NED in association with Freedom House and George Soros’ Open Society Institute, aided Viktor Yushchenko’s 2004 Orange revolution, instigating faux protests as an act of covert regime change at the behest of Washington’s shadow government.  In fact the violent Spilna Sprava organization who vandalized and overtook the Justice Ministry in Kiev demanding Yanukovych’s resignation in late January 2014 were funded by George Soros and tied to the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. These organizations have instigated fake revolutions, ensuring violent outcomes by financing madmen, ensuring the conflicts invite bloodshed as a means to ensuring regime change.

So with mainstream media whores leaping onto this KONY-2012-style, ‘I Am A Ukrainian’ video, the truth surrounding the Ukrainian uprising has evaded millions. Julia goes on to tell us that, “You can help us only by telling this story to your friends – only by sharing this video,” thereby framing the argument within an obscenely oversimplified 2-minute YouTube video. Alas, propaganda wouldn’t work it it wasn’t simple. Julia did, however, get one thing right: “We are civilized people, but our government are barbarians.”

Activist Post notes:

“Video designed to calm the public to back more foreign intervention by associating Ukraine’s shockingly violent coup with with some peaceful fragrant girl called Julia, instead of Nazi insurgents who murdered their way to power, or Assist Secretary of State Victoria Nuland caught revealing she’d plotted this coup against the elected government long before the protests began.”

THE CURSE HEARD ‘ROUND THE WORLD

The Leak of Victoria Nuland’s phone conversation Geoffrey Pyatt is timely considering Chrimea’s March 16th referendum, but what exactly was said?
Here’s the transcript, courtesy of the BBC:

*    *    *    *    *    *    *

Nuland: What do you think?

Pyatt: I think we’re in play. The Klitschko [Vitaly Klitschko, one of three main opposition leaders] piece is obviously the complicated electron here. Especially the announcement of him as deputy prime minister and you’ve seen some of my notes on the troubles in the marriage right now so we’re trying to get a read really fast on where he is on this stuff. But I think your argument to him, which you’ll need to make, I think that’s the next phone call you want to set up, is exactly the one you made to Yats [Arseniy Yatsenyuk, another opposition leader]. And I’m glad you sort of put him on the spot on where he fits in this scenario. And I’m very glad that he said what he said in response.

Nuland: Good. I don’t think Klitsch should go into the government. I don’t think it’s necessary, I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Pyatt: Yeah. I guess… in terms of him not going into the government, just let him stay out and do his political homework and stuff. I’m just thinking in terms of sort of the process moving ahead we want to keep the moderate democrats together. The problem is going to be Tyahnybok [Oleh Tyahnybok, the other opposition leader] and his guys and I’m sure that’s part of what [President Viktor] Yanukovych is calculating on all this.

Nuland: [Breaks in] I think Yats is the guy who’s got the economic experience, the governing experience. He’s the… what he needs is Klitsch and Tyahnybok on the outside. He needs to be talking to them four times a week, you know. I just think Klitsch going in… he’s going to be at that level working for Yatsenyuk, it’s just not going to work.

Pyatt: Yeah, no, I think that’s right. OK. Good. Do you want us to set up a call with him as the next step?

Nuland: My understanding from that call – but you tell me – was that the big three were going into their own meeting and that Yats was going to offer in that context a… three-plus-one conversation or three-plus-two with you. Is that not how you understood it?

Pyatt: No. I think… I mean that’s what he proposed but I think, just knowing the dynamic that’s been with them where Klitschko has been the top dog, he’s going to take a while to show up for whatever meeting they’ve got and he’s probably talking to his guys at this point, so I think you reaching out directly to him helps with the personality management among the three and it gives you also a chance to move fast on all this stuff and put us behind it before they all sit down and he explains why he doesn’t like it.

Nuland: OK, good. I’m happy. Why don’t you reach out to him and see if he wants to talk before or after.

Pyatt: OK, will do. Thanks.

Nuland: OK… one more wrinkle for you Geoff. [A click can be heard] I can’t remember if I told you this, or if I only told Washington this, that when I talked to Jeff Feltman [United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs] this morning, he had a new name for the UN guy Robert Serry did I write you that this morning?

Pyatt: Yeah I saw that.

Nuland: OK. He’s now gotten both Serry and [UN Secretary General] Ban Ki-moon to agree that Serry could come in Monday or Tuesday. So that would be great, I think, to help glue this thing and to have the UN help glue it and, you know, Fuck the EU.

Pyatt: No, exactly. And I think we’ve got to do something to make it stick together because you can be pretty sure that if it does start to gain altitude, that the Russians will be working behind the scenes to try to torpedo it. And again the fact that this is out there right now, I’m still trying to figure out in my mind why Yanukovych (garbled) that. In the meantime there’s a Party of Regions faction meeting going on right now and I’m sure there’s a lively argument going on in that group at this point. But anyway we could land jelly side up on this one if we move fast. So let me work on Klitschko and if you can just keep… we want to try to get somebody with an international personality to come out here and help to midwife this thing. The other issue is some kind of outreach to Yanukovych but we probably regroup on that tomorrow as we see how things start to fall into place.

Nuland: So on that piece Geoff, when I wrote the note [US vice-president’s national security adviser Jake] Sullivan’s come back to me VFR [direct to me], saying you need [US Vice-President Joe] Biden and I said probably tomorrow for an atta-boy and to get the deets [details] to stick. So Biden’s willing.

Pyatt: OK. Great. Thanks.  [2]

*    *    *    *    *    *    *

After being caught with their pants down actively conspiring to incite uprisings in Ukraine, Victoria Nuland apologized –NOT for conspiring to overthrow a democratically elected government, but for being rude to the European Union. This despite the fact that we can clearly hear them plotting to “midwife” the insurrection taking place in Kiev. Everything they discussed in the phone conversation has come to pass, including propping up Yatsenyuk into power.  In a matter of weeks Victoria Nuland has come to represent the vulgar arrogance and imperial hubris so typical of the neo-Conservative government running the show today, but her involvement in manipulating Ukrainian affairs runs deeper still…

COUNTLESS RIOTERS PAID TO DEMONSTRATE AT KIEV’S INDEPENDENCE SQUARE

As in all countries affected by the economic austerity that has crashed the entire global economic system, revolt in Ukraine was inevitable. But the stage was not set for violence until Victoria Nuland spoke at the “Ukraine in Washington 2013” conference, organized by the US-Ukraine Foundation on behalf of Chevron on the 10th of December 2013 wherein she announced:

On 10 December 2013, Victoria Nuland spoke at the Ukraine in Washington 2013 conference, organized by the US-Ukraine Foundation on behalf of Chevron:

“The United States believes there is a way out for UK that it is still possible to save the Ukraine’s European future and that is where we wanted to see the president lead his country. and that was going to require immediate steps to deescalate the security situation and immediate political steps to end the crisis and get Ukraine back into a conversation with Europe and the International Monetary Fund. Ukraine’s economy is in a dire state. having been in recession for more than a year and w. less than 3 months worth of currency reserves in place. the reforms that the IMF insists on are necessary for the long term economic health of the country. A New Deal with the IMF would also send a positive signal to private markets and would increase foreign direct investment that is so urgently needed in Ukraine. Signing the Association Agreement with the EU would also put the UK on a path to strengthening the sort of stable and predictable business environment that investors require.”

She went on to say that Ukrainian are European, which probably comes as news to Ukrainians who consider themselves Russians:

“When Ukrainians say they are European, this is what they mean. … As one very prominent UK businessman said to me, the Maidan movement’s greatest achievement is that it has proven that the people of UK will no longer support a president – this one or a future one – who does not take us to Europe … We’ve invested over five-Billion dollars to assist UK in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic Ukraine”

Why exactly is the American Assistant Secretary of State encouraging the people of Ukraine to join the European Union?

Nuland’s announcement to invest $5 Billion in the Ukraine ultimately equates to US, EU and NATO sponsored operatives giving cash and checks to Ukrainians to become state-sponsored Rioters. In order to maintain demonstrations for as long as is needed to dethrone the democratically elected government, the allocation of $5 Billion equates to enabling thousands of rioters for months upon months with the financial means to weaken the existing political infrastructure. And the goal of achieving a “good form of government” equates to Washington picking and choosing which crony puppets will staff the next Ukrainian puppet regime? If you’re American or European, that footage of Kiev’s Independence Square and all the carnage that has transpired there – that’s your tax dollars hard at work.

Johannes Loew of the Internet site elynitthria.net/ writes:

“I am just back from Ukraine (I live in Munich/Germany) and I was a lot at the Maidan. Most of those people get only 100 grivna. 300 is for Students.”

Simferopol locals repeat claims that Maidan protesters receive daily cheques from western governments.

According to Paul Craig Roberts:

“One reader wrote: ‘My wife, who is of Ukrainian nationality, has weekly contact to her parents and friends in Zhytomyr [NW Ukraine]. According to them, most protesters get an average payment of 200-300 grivna, corresponding to about 15-25 euro. As I additionally heard, one of the most active agencies and ‘payment outlets’ on EU side is the German ‘Konrad Adenauer Stiftung’, being closely connected to the CDU, i.e. Mrs. Merkel’s party.

“Washington has no money for food stamps or to prevent home foreclosures, but it has plenty of money with which to subvert Ukraine…Of course, not all of the protesters are paid. There are plenty of gullible dupes in the streets who think they are protesting Ukraine government corruption. I have heard from several. There is little doubt that the Ukraine government is corrupt. What government isn’t? Government corruption is universal, but it is easy to go from the frying pan into the fire. Ukrainian protesters seem to think that they can escape corruption by joining the EU. Obviously, these gullible dupes are unfamiliar with the report on EU corruption issued February 3 by the EU Commissioner for Home Affairs. The report says that a business-political nexus of corruption affects all 28 EU member countries and costs the EU economies $162.2 billion per annum.[3] According to the World Bank, the economic cost of EU corruption is almost as large as the size of Ukrainian GDP. [4]  Clearly, Ukrainians will not escape corruption by joining the EU. Indeed, Ukrainians will suffer worse corruption.

“It was fools like Nuland playing the great game that gave us World War I. Washington’s drive to exploit every opportunity to establish its hegemony over the world is driving us all to nuclear war. Like Nuland, a significant percentage of the population of western Ukraine are Russophobes. Ukrainian emotions fueled with Washington’s money should not direct the course of history.”

In the grand scheme of things, Victoria Nuland did happen to get one thing right when she said, “Fuck the EU.” The former Soviet nations would indeed do well to avoid the EU like the plague, as it teeters on the precipice of yet another choreographed economic collapse, whose leaders are the same people that brought us the neo-Conservative Anglo-American establishment that has poisoned much of the rest of the world, who are guaranteed to see Ukraine only in terms of resource exploitation and empire building.

Nuland’s conversation with Pyatt illustrates the intent to deliberately impose a puppet regime after their army of paid rioters have successfully removed the democratically elected government. But Victoria  Nuland is a small piece in a wide mosaic of Western-funded operatives, NGOs, political activists, politicians, clergymen, think-tanks and intelligence firms working all over the glove on behalf of the Anglo-Ameican World Empire. The mission: to incite uprisings that justify intervention. Stable societies cannot be invaded by military forces because they will be opposed. But the forces driving this world empire are clever, and have thus empowered arms dealers, war lords, terrorist organizations, and violent dictators the world over to continuously wage chaos, death and destruction and keep the system itself in perpetual need of foreign aid. Next, corporate media shoot selective footage of said chaos, and spin it to manipulate public emotional response on the home front. [5]

WHAT COULD THE WEST POSSIBLY WANT WITH UKRAINE?

Ukraine is almost as strategically important as Iraq. From Iraq, one’s military has proximal access to four continents and a number of water ways to deploy Naval forces around the world. Ukraine is strategically located between the European Union and the Russian Federation, sharing borders with each:

“Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be an empire, but with Ukraine suborned and then subordinated, Russia automatically becomes an empire. But is Russia becomes an empire, it cannot be a democracy at the same time. We might add that an imperial Russia will be forced to abandon economic reform in favor of central planning.”
~Zbigniew Brzezinski in a 1993 Foreign Affairs article

Brzezinski’s assessment reveals how coveted the borderlands of the Ukraine are to the Anglo-American establishment and Rothschild-Zionists alike, not for the expanse of their empire, but the destruction of the Russian Federation. The entire process is less about Ukraine’s “democratic future,” and more about weakening Russia with a puerile retaliation against President Putin. Brzezinski isn’t just a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and isn’t just a Bilderberg member, but he also goes as far up in the NSA as an individual can. Ukraine is a major geostrategic prize in the eyes of of the guys at the top.

The US is strongly pushing the Ukraine’s assimilation into the EU just as it was behind the 2004 failed “Orange Revolution” which attempted to split Ukraine from Russia in a  bid to encircle Russia with military bases, thereby isolating and weakening the Russian empire. The goals haven’t changed, and neither has the playbook. The internet is the one wildcard in all of this, preventing this agenda’s smooth transition into the New World Order so sought and desired by the Rotschild-Zionist faction pulling the strings; they’re beginning to lose their grip because even though the game has changed, they’re operating with the 20th century playbook. For example the collapse of the Soviet Union by 1991 provided the Western powers with an historic opportunity to penetrate into Russian dominated territories with mandatory reforms, but Russia’s security forces succeeded in assisting Vladimir Putin’s rise to power in 2000.

While the neo-Conservatives exploit Kiev in their geostrategic ambition to expand NATO and the multinational amusement park that is the European Union, even Henry Kissinger advises discretion:

Kissinger: “… Since the beginning of the end of the 17th, the beginning of the 18th century, Ukraine has been part of Russia. And I don’t know any Russian, whether they’re dissidents or pro-government, who does not consider Ukraine at least an essential part of Russian history. So the Russians cannot be indifferent to the future of Ukraine. Now, I’m strongly in favor of an independent Ukraine and strongly in favor of Ukraine having an organic relationship to Europe. My impression [is] it’s in essence a divided country. The eastern part is Orthodox, and the further west one gets, the more prevalent Catholicism grows … As to the parties fighting each other in Ukraine, my impression is, that each of them have democratic elements, each of them have oligarchic elements, and I don’t consider the current president inevitably pro-Russian.”

Zakaria: “You know Putin well. You’ve met him more than any American. Do you think he is watching what is happening in Ukraine and thinking, the West and the United States is doing this essentially as a way of surrounding Russia?”

Kissinger: “I think he thinks that this is a dress rehearsal for what we would like to do in Moscow … And the fact that it’s happening so close to the Sochi games, will make him even more suspicious. But Putin thinks that the disillusion of the Soviet Union was a great historical disaster. So obviously, the largest part of this independence is Ukraine with 50 million people, and he can’t be indifferent.”

Zakaria: “Do you think the Obama administration is handling this appropriately?”

Kissinger: “Well, the Obama administration has a tendency to keep making public statements on evolving, dramatic events, as if it’s going to be settled on a Sunday talk show. I don’t disagree with where the administration is heading, but I think it’s not necessary to do it so publicly and one should have a better view of the long term historic evolution … Relating Russia to the rest of the world and to us is a huge challenge because here is a country that has been an imperial country for all of its history that has identified itself, to itself as by its imperial achievements. Now they have a frontier with China, which is a strategic nightmare. They have a frontier with Islam, which is an ideological nightmare. And they have a frontier with Europe that’s historically very shaky. On the other hand, Russian rulers throughout history have governed by giving the impression that they’re very important abroad, so how to rally his country while looking fields abroad and yet realizing that huge adjustments are possible, are necessarily. I think that is the great challenge that Putin faces an it’s not in our interest to drive them into a beleaguered attitude where they feel they have to prove what they can do.”

It is important to clearly spell out here that Kissinger and Brzezinski represent the old-school approach to Empire building: cautious, systematic, covert and indirect.

The new-school approach of neo-Conservatives like Rohm Emanuel, by contrast, represent an ideology diametrically opposed in its mentality: overt, vulgar, arrogant, blatant, aggressive and loud.

Henry Kissinger, as old as he is, participated in this interview because he understands how precariously timed events in and around the Crimean peninsula can spell certain doom for Washington. They’re addicted to engineering faux revolutions in country after country around the world, and have become so predictable in their brazen behavior and arrogant attitudes that we’re all beginning to see exactly how their playbook is scripted, and that it hasn’t changed much.

In 1984 newspeak, “Open Society,” “Economic Reform,” “Democracy,” and “Freedom,” are buzzwords that translate to “Regime Change,” “Coup d’état,”and “Armed Mutiny.” The Western superpowers have invested trillions of dollars in attempts to promote “civil societies” around the globe. Since the turn of the century we’ve watched former Soviet nations falls to the architects of social engineering. Public emotions are scientifically manipulated by they lofty banners and happy slogans while Western agents feed the fires of anti-Russian dissent to sow the seeds of destruction. Because great societies can always defend themselves from external threats, and therefore can only fall from within.

America has a long-established history of meddling with the internal affairs of other countries. The CIA’s track record of color revolutions includes, but is not limited to, the 2004 Orange revolution, the 2003 Georgian Rose Revolution, the 2005 Kyrgyz Tulip Revolution, the 2005 Lebanese Cedar Revolution, the 2009 Iranian Green Revolution, the 2010 Tunisian Jasmine Revolution, and the 2011 Egyptian Lotus Revolution.

This method of “color revolution” was created by Gene Sharp, an American social scientist dubbed the modern Machiavelli of nonviolence. In 1998 Gene Sharp perfected the method of “color revolutions” with the overthrow of Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic. The principle is simple: exacerbate all underlying frustrations, blame the existing political apparatus for all the problems, manipulate the youth according to the Freudian “patricidal” scenario, organize a coup, and then use your propaganda mill to peddle  the myth that the establishment was overthrown by genuine grassroots movements.

French Political expert Thierry Meyssan remarks:

“The slogan of the “color revolutions” harks back to an infantile perspective; What matters is to overthrow the head of state without consideration of the consequences–“Don’t worry about your future, Washington will take care of everything for you.”

Economic Hit Man  John Perkins explains how fanatic the global elite are:

“Highly paid professionals cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars … They funnel money from the World Bank, (IMF, and other international lending agencies, as well as) other foreign aid organizations into the coffers of huge corporations and the pockets of a few wealthy families who control the planet’s natural resources … Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder … [and] They play a game as old as empire, but one that has taken on new and terrifying dimensions during this time of globalization.”

SOCIAL UNREST IS LUCRATIVE IF YOU’RE AT THE TOP

In the spirit of Rohm Emanuel’s well-known mentality, “never let a crisis to go to waste,” the reptilian hawks in Washington are all over Ukraine like flies on shit. They certainly haven’t wasted any opportunities to exploit the situation, and continue driving a bloody wedge into Kiev – the heart of Ukraine – dividing the people among themselves along the lines of Russian/Ukrainian, Orthodox/Catholic and unfortunately Nazi/Jew. Some Ukrainians want to secede, while others do not. Some Ukrainians think there should be a national language, others do not. And all the while, Washington’s hawks rub their eager palms together and lick their chops, admiring the golden opportunity to finally divide the region against itself. Once the United States can justify intervention in Ukraine, Shell Oil can move into the region and conduct Hydraulic-Fracturing operations – you know? Fracking? That method of Natural gas extraction that requires a toxic mix of 596 chemicals to be blasted 8,000 feet below the surface, thus permanently contaminating all watersheds within a square mile? That awesome phenomena currently underway in 34 of the 50 United States that we discussed last week? And Shell aren’t the only ones advancing – Halliburton purportedly now has Fracking contracts with Poland as well.

According to the Guardian’s Peter Grazul, Ukraine’s revolution has been fueled by international energy politics:

“Russia is currently the world’s second largest exporter of natural gas. A large portion of its hydrocarbons are imported by Western Europe, which is heavily dependent on the pipelines that traverse Ukraine. Governments of Western Europe for years have tried unsuccessfully to lessen their dependence on Russia’s state owned Gazprom. The pipeline infrastructure established in the region is largely a result of Soviet era industrial planning, meaning that the oil and natural gas of countries such as Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan gets shipped directly through Russia when being sent to European customers. Gazprom for its part charges fluctuating transport fees.

“When Yanukovich was deciding whether or not to sign a free trade agreement with the European Union, Russia threatened to raise the prices of its energy exports to Ukraine. Ukraine, already reliant on Russian energy, was even more so inclined to accept a Russian deal because of the approaching winter. What resulted in December was Gazprom agreeing to sell natural gas to Ukraine’s Naftogaz for $268.50 per 1,000 cubic meters instead of at the original price of roughly $400 per 1,000 cubic meters. Russia also handed Ukraine a $15 billion bail out package, with Yanukovich agreeing to use some of the funds to buy Russian hydrocarbons.” [6]

A New York Times article published 05 March 2014 By Coral Davenport and Steven Erlanger titled U.S. HOPES BOOM IN NATURAL GAS CAN CURB PUTIN, reads:

“The crisis in Crimea is heralding the rise of a new era of American energy diplomacy, as the Obama administration tries to deploy the vast new supply of natural gas in the United States as a weapon to undercut the influence of the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, over Ukraine and Europe..”

This should outrage rate payers, not only because their rates are going to skyrocket due to likely war rationings of Natural Gas, but because energy corporations were only able to sell the idea of Fracking to people who are too shortsided to see the environmental costs of it, by promising rate payers that Hyrdo-Fracking was guaranteed to make the United States “energy independent.”

But yesterday’s independence has perplexingly transformed into today’s export.

Mark Lippman of DailyKOS writes:

“Ukraine’s Parliament voted Thursday to approve Arseniy Yatsenyuk as the interim Prime Minister who will head the government until elections are held on May 25. The Parliament also approved a cabinet of ministers from the broad coalition that drove Viktor Yanukovych from office.. Yatsenyuk spoke before the Parliament on Thursday and if his description of the current situation is accurate, conditions in Ukraine are worse than anyone knew. Yatsenyuk said the country “is in the deepest economic, political and social crisis in the history of its independence.” He told the Parliament that the state treasury had been plundered and the country was one step away from financial and economic collapse.

“Ukrainians have heard promises before. The country’s political leadership has an unusual number of unseemly characters, opportunists, and unconventional oligarchs. In 2004, President Viktor Yushchenko, a former head of the national Bank of Ukraine, was poisoned with TCDD dioxin which left him disfigured.  Yulia Tymoshenko, known in Ukraine as the ‘Gas Princess’ for the fortune she made in the natural gas industry campaigned for Yushchenko during his illness. She later served two separate terms as Prime Minister. Her business partner, former Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko, was tried in US District Court, found guilty of money laundering and extortion, and he spent a number of years in federal prison. Tymoshenko was later convicted and jailed in Ukraine.  Yatsenyuk is a Tymoshenko supporter. It is expected that she’ll run for President in the May election … Every Prime Minister and President since 2008 promised fiscal reforms connected to the subsidized natural gas industry but nothing was done to implement them.

“The ruling elite in Ukraine has also benefited from the trade in natural gas but Russia has leverage as the supplier of an essential energy commodity.  Russia also supplies countries in eastern Europe through the pipelines that traverse Ukraine.  In 2006, a dispute between Russia and Ukraine erupted over payments for supply, use of the pipeline, and accusations of siphoning. The supply was disrupted. Disputes continued intermittently and natural gas supply was disrupted again in 2009. In a deal negotiated in 2010,Ukraine agreed to extend the stay of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea until 2042, from the original withdrawal date of 2017 in return for natural gas price concessions.

“Since Natural Gas subsidies are regressive, wealthy folks use more gas and collect a disproportionate share of the subsidy payments. The program could be targeted to provide assistance to those who need it most and the IMF recommended limiting it to the bottom 40% of the population. Today, Ukraine’s ruling elite swear they want to be European. The urgent priority is $35 billion that Ukraine needs to replenish its treasury. What strings would be attached to that amount and how would they be guaranteed once Ukraine has the funding it needs with Russia hovering nearby. It turns out that part was worked out far in advance. Shell, Exxon Mobil, and maybe some others will begin hydraulic fracturing for shale gas deposits that were discovered in Ukraine.” [7]

By weathering the crisis, corporations can swoop in when the battle is over and the defenses are down, to exploit the spoils of the aftermath. From a distance they’re able to Destabilize, Destroy and Dominate – the 3 D’s. But its not just the resources they’re after. War brings with it the fringe benefit of boosted sales, peddling to multiple (sometimes even opposing) factions, organizations and military forces. War brings with it the fringe benefit of market speculation, and the ability to purchase assets and commodities in trouble regions at rock bottom prices.  War brings with it the fringe benefit of issuing massive loans at high interest rates to the governments of these poor countries to create massive infrastructure projects (like Fracking) that benefit only the corporations, and paid for by taxpayers. War is a racket, and the most profitable one of all time according to Two-Time Medal of Honor winner Major General Smedley T. Butler, who retiring in 1931, saw his career for what it was and wrote his famous publication, War is a Racket:

“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class thug for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 11914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

RISE OF THE NEO-NAZI SVOBODA FACTION IN MODERN UKRAINE

In February, footage of Ukrainian radical nationalist leader Oleksandr Ivanovych Muzychko nearly strangling the Prosecutor of the Rivne Oblast in his office with his own necktie while shouting obscenities emerged on YouTube:

For anyone who has ever been persecuted by the Legal sector, it may be difficult to find context here, since many western prosecutors adhering to Admiralty law, spend a great deal of their time litigating frivolous and unconstitutional charges against people too poor to pay the fines or afford council. But there exists a massive difference between expressing a healthy frustration toward frivolous exploitation, and dogged violence over a murder investigation – especially if you’re a card-carrying Nazi in the 21st Century. As you can see in the video, the prosecutor asked to be given a chance to explain the situation, but Muzychko did not want to hear explanations. For those who don’t speak Ukrainian, Muzychko’s shouts translate like this:

“Shut the fuck up, you bitch! Your fucking time is over!” he growled, threatening to rope the clerk like a dog and lead him to the people on Maidan. Muzychko called the prosecutors useless “chairwarmers,” and accused them of deliberately neglecting their job. “Does it mean I have to elect my own prosecutor, if these animals do not want to work? What is this, a sabotage? Should we have mayhem, anarchy in the country, they will keep sitting here and covering [the criminals]?” The clerk tried to intervene in the radical’s speech, but received a slap on the face.“If you think I am goodie because I’ve come without my rifle, you are gravely mistaken. I’ve come with a pistol. Work!”

Muzychko, who is a member of the Right Sector radical movement, arrived at the Rivne Oblast prosecutor’s office after he heard claims that a criminal investigation into a local murder was being delayed. The controversial figure known for taking part in the Chechen conflict against Russian troops, for his recent Kalashnikov brandishing in front of regional authorities and for making openly anti-Semitic statements, decided to take the matter of the investigation into his own hands.

Local Ukrainian publication rivnepost.rv.ua quoted additional statements made by Muzychko that were not caught on film.  According to the outlet, the Muzychko threatened to have the clerk lynched by an angry mob. The confused prosecutor later explained the situation to journalists, saying that Muzychko has probably been misinformed. Meanwhile, the new Ukrainian authorities cast a blind eye on extremist actions of the armed Right Sector apparently in return for the group’s active help in overthrowing the government of ousted president Yanukovich. Atrocities committed by the Ukrainian radicals in 2014 are routinely dismissed and ignored by the Western media and the ignorant alike, but new YouTube personalities like Muzychko will make it increasingly difficult for the propaganda mill to continue veiling the Ukrainian riot fascism as peaceful, grassroots protests…

John McCain with leader of the neo-Nazi Svoboda Party (right)

“We are putting our hopes in a new generation of politicians”

John McCain visited Ukraine in December (right around the time Victoria Nuland was giving her speech to the people at Chevron). McCain spoke to more than two-thousand protesters, telling them the United States supported their revolution. After boarding a plane, McCain was whisked in front of the camera so he could announce to the media that the US will intervene if Russia becomes involved in the Ukraine riots. McCain now calls for Sanctions, saying:

“We are here to support your just cause, the sovereign right of Ukraine to determine its own destiny freely and independently. And the destiny you seek lies in Europe … We want to make it clear to Russia and Vladimir Putin that interference in the affairs of Ukraine is not acceptable to the United States.”

Let’s keep that last statement in mind when considering that Mr. McCain supported the overthrow of Libya and actively backed Jihadi terrorist in an attempt to do the same thing in Syria that is being done now in Ukraine. So while Mr. McCain says that the Ukrainian government’s decision to make economic trade deal with Putin over the EU was an interference in their internal affairs, one has to wonder how that could even outwardly be true.  In exactly the same way, there exists no logical reason for the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State to engage in “conducting parallel coordinated high level diplomacy with EU High representative Cathy Ashton with all of the Key Ukrainian stakeholders,” to encourage a Foreign country like Ukraine to join the European Union.

Daniel McAdams calls John McCain the Energizer Bunny of Interventionism:

“As McCain joined an anti-government demonstration, stating that “we are here to support your just cause,” he threatened the government of Ukraine with US sanctions if it did not come to heel. Then, with his typical absence of irony, McCain demanded that Russia stop interfering in Ukraine’s internal affairs.”

Speaking to CNN, McCain recently said:

“What we’re trying to do is try to bring about a peaceful transition here, that would stop the violence and give the Ukrainian people what they unfortunately have not had, with different revolutions that have taken place – a real society.”

neo-Nazis at the forefront of Ukrainian protests

The situation on the ground is not as simple as pro-EU and trade versus pro-Putin and Russian hegemony in the region. Svoboda is not just a Ukrainian neo-Nazi political party. Svoboda is the fourth-largest Ukrainian political party. Svoboda is part of the Alliance of European National Movements. Svoboda is supported by Washington.

According to Michel Chossudovsky of Global Research:
“The forbidden truth is that the West has engineered, through a carefully staged covert operation, the formation of a proxy regime integrated by neo-Nazis. Confirmed by Asst Sec State Victoria Nuland, key organizations in the Ukraine including the neo-Nazi party Svoboda were generously supported by Washington … While Yatsenyuk’s Fatherland Party controls the majority of portfolios and Svoboda neo-Nazi leader Oleh Tyahnybok was not granted a major cabinet post (apparently at the request of Victoria Nuland), members of Svoboda and the Right Sector occupy key positions in the areas of defense, law enforcement, education and economic affairs. Andriy Parubiy, co-founder of the neo-Nazi Social-National Party of Ukraine (subsequently renamed Svoboda) was appointed Secretary of the National Security and National Defense Committee, a central decision-making body with the Ukrainian acronym RNBOU. This is a key position which ocersees the Ministry of Defense, the armed forces, law enforcement, national security and intelligence. Parubiy was one of the main leaders behind the Orange Revolution in 2004. His organization was funded by the West. He is referred to by the Western media as the “kommandant” of the EuroMaidan movement. Andriy Parubiy together with party leader Oleh Tyahnybok is a follower of Ukrainian Nazi Stepan Bandera, who collaborated in the mass murderer of Jews and Poles during WW2. In turn, Dmytro Yarosh, leader of the Right Sector delegation in the parliament, has been appointed Parubiy’s Deputy Secretary of the RNBOU. Yarosh was the leader of the Brown Shirt neo-Nazi paramilitary during the EuroMaidan “protest” movement. He has called for disbanding the Party of the regions and the Communist Party. The neo-Nazi party also controls the judicial process with the appointment of Oleh Makhnitsky of the Svoboda party to the position of prosecutor-general of Ukraine. What kind of justice will prevail with a renowned neo-Nazi in charge of the Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine? Cabinet positions were also allocated to former members of the neo-Nazi fringe organization Ukrainian National Assembly – Ukrainian National Self Defense (UNA-UNSO):

“Tetyana Chernovol, portrayed in the Western press as a crusading investigative journalist without reference to her past involvement in the anti-Semitic UNA-UNSO, was named chair of the government’s anti-corruption committee. Dmytro Bulatov, known for his alleged kidnapping by police, but also with UNA-UNSO connections, was appointed minister of youth and sports. Yegor Sobolev, leader of a civic group in Independence Maidan and politically close to Yatsenyuk, was appointed chair of the Lustration Committee, charged with purging followers of Pres Yanukovych from government and public life.

“The world is at a dangerous crossroads. The structures and composition of this proxy government installed by the West do not favor dialogue with the Russian government and military. A scenario of military escalation leading to confrontation of Russia and NATO is a distinct possibility. The RNBOU, which is controlled by neo-Nazis, plays a central role in military affairs. “The flowering of democracy” in Ukraine, to use the words of the NYT, is endorsed by Republicans and Democrats. It’s a bipartisan project. Lest we forget, Senator John McCain is a firm supporter and friend of neo-Nazi Svoboda leader Oleh Tyahnybok. We are not dealing with a transitional government in which neo-Nazi elements integrate the fringe of the coalition, formally led by the Fatherland party. The Cabinet is not only integrated by the Svoboda and Right Sector (not to mention former members of defunct fascist UNA-UNSO), the two main neo-Nazi entities have been entrusted with key positions which grant them de-facto control over the armed forces, police and national security. “

Even though a lot of corporate journalists are ordered to abstain from the term “neo-Nazi,” using designations such as “Svoboda” and the “Right Sector” instead, the act of whitewashing the story doesn’t change the fact that a neo-Nazi organization is systematically seizing control of Ukraine, and the US State Department is funding the installation. But this isn’t the first time that the US Government has funded known terrorists. A-la Charlie Wilson’s War, US funded extremists were documented in Syria massacring entire communities. And even after said extremists were caught by the UN using Sarin gas on thousands of civilians, Washington still covered for them, sending weapons, providing training, and allocating funding to boot.

THE BATTLE FOR CRIMEA

Today the Crimean peninsula might still be a part of Ukraine, but in many ways it is separate from the rest of the country: It has its own legislature and constitution, for example, and is still very Russian: Some  60 percent of the population is ethnically Russian, with the rest being Ukrainian or Crimean Tatars. This crisis hasn’t gone down quite the way the neo-Conservatives would have liked. The Parliament of Crimea in the south of Ukraine voted to secede and put the decision up for public referendum on 16 March 2014. The U.S. government claimed that referendum unconstitutional, and their reluctance to acknowledge the legitimacy of the decision is a huge red flag. If a declaration of independence put to a general vote is unconstitutional, yet violent, foreign-backed, neo-Nazi mutinies are constitutional, who’s constitution are we talking about anyway?

As Ukraine’s opposition leaders consolidate power over Kiev’s parliament, some of them privately admit they are worried over the fate of Crimea. They fear it could be most susceptible to secession or at least a useful tool for Russia, which has used separatist regions in Georgia, Armenia and Moldova to exert influence. A law passed by Ukraine’s parliament removing Russian as an official language risks further stoking tensions between the Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine and Crimea, and the largely Ukrainian-speaking east.

But the mainstream media once again makes God cry with their repeated fear mongering contention that Russia sent a wave of troops into Crimea. As we will recall from earlier herein, Mark Lippman cleared this up, stating that Russian troops have been garrisoned  in the Crimean peninsula for decades, in a deal re-negotiated for 25 additional years in exchange for low rates on Russian Natural Gas.   Russian military reinforcements have not yet intervened on the peninsula.  It is the desire of those pulling the strings to divide-and-conquer any way possible. The problem for them to manage now, is that the whole world knows what they’ve been up to, and the jig with the mainstream media is up.

On Monday 17 March 2014, President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on recognizing Crimea as a sovereign state following the former Ukrainian region’s declaration of independence from Ukraine,  applying to join the Russian Federation following the weekend referendum that saw a landslide 97% of Crimeans supporting the measure. Following yesterday’s referendum in which people in the Black Sea peninsula voted 97% in favor of becoming part of the Russian federation, the EU responded by slapping sanctions on 21 Russian and Ukrainian officials, declaring the referendum to be “illegal” alongside Kiev. Russia expects Ukraine to honor the treaty’s deadline and withdraw all troops from the peninsula by 21 March 2014. Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov said the junta will do everything possible to prevent war, but said “the threat of war is real,” and, “Ukraine is ready to defend its territory.”

Ukraine’s Justice Minister Pavlo Petrenko shared similar sentiments, saying, “Our army should be ready for combat!”

The Coup Yatsenyuk government has called up Ukraine’s newly created National Guard, summoning 40,000 troops.

“This is our land,” acting coup Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told a crowd in Kiev. “Our fathers and grandfathers have spilled their blood for this land. And we won’t budge a single centimeter from Ukrainian land. Let Russia and its president know this.” Following Crimea’s referendum Sunday, Yatsenyuk promised to hunt down and bring Crimean separatists to justice. “We will find all of them, if it takes one year, two years, and bring them to justice and try them in Ukrainian and international courts. The ground will burn under their feet,” he said.

On Saturday, during a trip to Ukraine, Senator John McCain called on the Obama administration to arm the junta. “They only have a few thousand combat troops and would be overwhelmed by the Russians if it came to that. One of their urgent requests is to have us supply them with weapons,” McCain said. “I will be urging our administration to arrange that transfer as quickly as possible.” [8]

TAKE A STEP BACK AND EXAMINE THE PATTERN

The real stakes of this drama are much larger than Ukraine or any of the other countries that have recently undergone regime change spared by a Color Revolution. These are not random or isolated events. We are witnessing the final moves in a geopolitical chess game deigned to end in war. But they need the public to accept the idea of yet another war. They’ll try to convince us as they have with every other false flag event in history, that they were not the aggressor when in fact  the opposite is the case. Proxy wars don’t seem diabolical until the people realize they’re proxy wars.

Because Obama signed an order targeting Russia with sanctions and revoking the visas of many Russian diplomats, the possibility for Russia to call America’s bluff and drop the dollar as their reserve currency should worry many economists. Russia has also vowed to encourage others to drop the dollar as well in such an event. And with China in Russia’s corner on this issue, economic war invites hot war. The negative press. The Liz Wahl affair. The preoccupation with the Sochi Olympics to make a calculated move on Kiev. The unfolding crisis in Ukraine is far from a black-and-white issue, but above all it is not merely a protest, just as it is not merely a faux Color Revolution, although undercurrents of both appear in the vast array of protest groups. Is Washington ready to risk a major advance toward new cold war by turning these protests into a full-fledged Civil War?

People around the world are hungry, homeless and furious. While the call for revolution is louder than ever, few are willing to pack a lunch. neo-Conservatives who don’t want to see a crisis go to waste see an opportunity here. They possess the understanding and the resources to spin our perception of this outrage to herd us toward their goals. Genuine rebellions and legitimate protests are used as springboards to advance geostrategic agendas by financially steering genuine movements toward outcomes favorable to the established oligarchs. The more volatile a situation becomes, the greater the profit potential; the greater the risk, the greater the reward. It is a simple gambling addiction of taking greater and greater risks that has exposed their hand, and placed the elite in hot water, on thin ice, and in the spotlight. Now that the jig is up, they still refuse to acknowledge that their hand in all of this was exposed. David Icke might observe this behavior as “cleverness without wisdom.”

At this point, a Ukrainian split seems inevitable because the region is already so divided. The crisis is merely a the result of Washington’s ability to encourage preexisting prejudices within a society to flower into all-out warfare. Will Russia annex Crimea? Will a Civil War ensure within the Ukraine? Will there be clashes between Crimean Tatars and Russian-speaking Ukrainians? -between Orthodox and Catholic? This all leaves one to wonder, what is America’s desire in all of this? What end-game scenario are the shadow government seeking out? Is it the total destruction of all society through another world war? Is it the creation of a new Cold War?

Recent developments prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that Western officials and Western funded organizations working in the Ukraine were funded and complicit in the events surrounding Kiev. Washington’s hawks have blood on their hands. Ukraine is experiencing a repeat of Syria, minus Al-Quaeda. The “Color Revolution” blueprint currently at work in Ukraine is a facsimile of every other Color Revolution, and in its very essence, culminates as a repetition of the circumstances that led up to the First World War. Nevertheless, it should be clear to us all now -even the ignorant- that the US and EuroMaidan rebels were never really concerned about anything called “democracy” for the Ukraine, nor did they ever really care about the European Union. What is happening in the Ukraine can only be described as a violent insurrection carried out by Western-backed separatists. And most repetitious of all is the chilling fact that ethnic hatred is the primary driving force fueling much of the separatist movement. And not just any ethnic hatred, but specifically Anti-Semitic hatred. Many Ukrainians are likewise understandably Anti-Russian, due to the Ukraine’s assimilation into the USSR following the New Deal following World War Two, the crimes of Stalin, the crimes of the Bolsheviks, etc. Unfortunately this hatred of Russia enables the conditions for despotic neo-Nazism to flourish. Haven’t we been down this road before?

Washington’s geostrategic goal to encircle Russia with military installations and allied buffer states cannot be completely fulfilled until Belarus, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia are also secured. But the final outcome in the Ukraine remains up in the air. The country hangs on the verge of a Civil War which if sparked, runs the risk of dividing the country into the factions of pro-Europe western Ukrainians and pro-Russia eastern Ukrainians. The prospect of Civil War also heralds the risk of drawing in additional garrisons of Russian troops. With each passing day a Ukrainian split seems more inevitable.

Perhaps a split could be favorable since the imperialists seem to view the concept as detrimental to their goals. Genuine national independence is completely contrary to the assembly of superstates into a World Governing body.

When George Orwell wrote about the three Superstates (or Empires) competing for domination of the Earth in his seminal dystopia 1984, he called the three factions Oceania (Anglo-American Empire), Eurasia (Russian Federation), and Eastasia (China). We step closer toward that horrific reality with every new country this empire subsumes control over.

On the eve of the first World War’s one hundredth anniversary, the geopolitical climate of the world today is eerily similar to the one that existed a century ago. In their relentless Imperial pursuits, Western Oligarchs have yet again brought our world to the brink of yet another potential planetary conflict. They have come to control global trade routs and the commodities exchange. They set the world’s political, financial and cultural trends. The exhaustion of natural resources and the great internet awakening currently afoot are just two examples of countless direct threats to their monopolistic control. Everything they have acquired has only driven them to thirst for more, and they are so driven to maintain their obscene wealth and ridiculous standard of living, they may do just about anything to maintain dominance, up to and including thermonuclear war. Let us hope that the information warriors succeed in spreading the truth before the war hawks can succeed in ushering in the next deadly quagmire.

History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme. And unlike prior iterations of repetitious events, we have the internet, and there’s still time to influence the outcome toward a more prosperous tomorrow.
