Armed neo-Nazis have taken over Ukraine

Reality
on the ground in Ukraine contradicts the incompetent and immoral Obama
regime's portrait of Ukrainian democracy on the march. To the extent
that government exists in post-coup Ukraine, it is laws dictated by gun
and threat wielding thugs of the neo-Nazi, Russophobic,
ultra-nationalist, right-wing parties.
The neo-Nazis are
intimidating the Central Election Commission in order to secure rule and
personnel changes in order to favour the ultra-right in the forthcoming
elections. Thug Aleksandr Shevchenko informed the CEC that armed
activists will remain in CEC offices in order to make certain that the
election is not rigged against the neo-Nazis. What he means, of course,
is the armed thugs will make sure the neo-Nazis win. If the neo-Nazis
don't win, the chances are high that they will take power regardless.
Members
of President Yanukovich's ruling party, the Party of Regions, have been
shot, had arrest warrants issued for them, have experienced home
invasions and physical threats, and are resigning in droves in hopes of
saving the lives of themselves and their families. The prosecutor's
office in the Volyn region has been ordered by ultra-nationalists to
resign en masse.
I might have been the first and only to predict
that Washington's organisation of pro-EU Ukrainian politicians into a
coup against the elected government of Ukraine would destroy democracy
and establish the precedent that force prevails over elections, thereby
empowering the organised and armed extreme right-wing.
This is
precisely what has happened. Note that there was no one in the Obama
regime who had enough sense to see the obvious result of their smug,
self-satisfied interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine.
If
a democratically elected president and ruling party are so easily
driven from power by armed neo-Nazis, what chance do Washington's paid
stooges among the so-called "moderates" have of forming a government?
These are the corrupt people who wanted President Yanukovich out of
office so that they could take the money instead. The corruption charge
against Yanukovich was cover for the disloyal, undemocratic "moderate"
schemers to seize power and be paid millions of dollars by Washington
for taking Ukraine into the EU and Nato.
The Washington-paid
schemers are now reaping their just reward as they sit in craven silence
while neo-Nazi Muzychko wielding an Ak-47 challenges government
officials to their face: "I dare you take my gun!"
Only Obama,
Susan Rice, Victoria Nuland, Washington's European puppets, and the
Western media can describe the brutal reality of post-coup Ukraine as
"the forward march of democracy."
The West now faces a real mess,
and so does Russia. The media will keep the American public from ever
knowing what has happened, and the Obama regime will never admit it. It
is not always clear that even the Russians want to admit it.
Yanukovich
is history, as are Washington's "moderates." The moderates are not only
corrupt; they are stupid. The fools even disbanded the Riot Police,
leaving themselves at the mercy of the armed right-wing Nazi thugs.
Ukraine
is out of control. This is what happens when an arrogant, but
imprudent, Assistant Secretary of State (Victoria Nuland) plots with an
equally arrogant and unwise US ambassador (Pyatt) to put their
candidates in power once their coup against the elected president
succeeded.
The situation will almost certainly lead to war.
However, Putin is being demonised by Washington and the poodles who
comprise the US print and TV media. European and British politicians
would have their Washington pay checks cut off if they aligned with
Putin.
War is unavoidable, because the Western public is out to
lunch. The more facts and information I provide, the more emails I
receive defending the "sincere (and well paid) protesters' honest
protests against corruption," as if corruption were the issue.
I
hear from Ukrainians and from those of Ukrainian ethnicity in Canada
and the US that it is natural for Ukrainians to hate Russians because
Ukrainians suffered under Communism, as if suffering under Communism,
which disappeared in 1991, is unique to Ukrainians and has anything to
do with the US coup that has fallen into neo-Nazi hands.
No
doubt. Many suffered under communism, including Russians. But was the
suffering greater than the suffering of Japanese civilians twice nuked
by the "Indispensable people," or the suffering by German civilians
whose cities were firebombed, like Tokyo, by the "exceptional people"?
Today
Japan and Germany are Washington's puppet states. In contrast, Ukraine
was an independent country with a working relationship with Russia. It
was this relationship that Washington wished to destroy. Source: Times of Oman
Now that
a reckless and incompetent Washington has opened Pandora's Box, more
evil has been released upon the world. The suffering will not be
confined to Ukraine.
