In-depth Report: UKRAINE REPORT
On 7 February 2014, Oriental Review posted “What about apologizing to Ukraine,
Mrs. Nuland?” including a link to the recordings of two successive
phone-conversations, uploaded to the Internet the day
before, one (up through 04:10) with Obama’s Victoria Nuland telling the U.S.
Ambassador in Ukraine whom to appoint (“Yats”) to run the Ukrainian Government
after the coup (which would occur two weeks later) and including her
subsequently famous line, “F–k the EU,” because the EU’s leaders wouldn’t like
to be publicly associated with such boldly nazi (i.e.,
racist-fascist) people as Obama’s representative was now choosing to run that
country; and the other (after 04:10 and spoken in German)
between Helga Maria Schmid the EU’s Political Director (also titled the
Deputy Director of the EU’s Diplomatic Corps), and Jan Tombinsky the
EU’s Ambassador to Ukraine; and this portion of the tape being translated
into English at that Oriental Review link, in the printed transcript they were
providing of the entire tape.
Schmid told Tombinsky there: “The Americans are beating about the bush
and saying that our stand is too soft. They believe we should be
stronger and apply sanctions [against Russia]. I talked to Cathy
[Catherine Ashton, the EU’s Foreign Affairs chief] and she agrees with
us on the matter we were discussing last time. We will do it but we
must arrange everything in a clever way [i.e., so as to fool the European
public into believing that their leaders care about democracy]. … I want
you to know that it would be detrimental to our interests if we see in the
newspapers that «The European Union does not support freedom» [by
its supporting coup-installed nazis to rule in Ukraine]. Cathy will not like it
[to be exposed].”
The rot, at the top, is so dangerous, it must stop.
But who will even let the public know about it?
Then, ten days later, on 17 February 2014, Paul Craig Roberts
blogged, “US and EU Are Paying Ukrainian
Rioters and Protesters,” and he
reported that:
A number of confirmations have come in from readers that Washington
is fueling the violent protests in Ukraine with our taxpayer dollars.
Washington has no money for food stamps or to prevent home
foreclosures, but it has plenty of money with which to subvert
Ukraine.
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.”
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.”
As I reported on February 12, “Washington
Orchestrated Protests Are
Destabilizing Ukraine,” http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/02/12/washington-orchestrated-protests-destabilizing-ukraine/
Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, a rabid
Russophobe and neoconservative warmonger, told the National
Press Club last December that the US has “invested” $5
billion in organizing a network to achieve US goals in Ukraine
in order to give “Ukraine the future it
deserves.” http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article37599.htm
Nuland is the Obama regime official who was caught red-handed
naming the members of the Ukrainian government Washington intends to
impose on the Ukrainian people once the paid protesters have unseated the
current elected and independent government.
How many Americans managed to know about this Obama rot via the U.S.
“news” media such as ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox, NYT, WP, PBS,
NPR, The Nation, Mother Jones, The Progressive, The Atlantic,
Harper’s, Salon, Slate, HuffingtonPost, Alternet, CommonDreams,
etc.? Since this is the Republican Obama that’s being displayed, even the
overtly Republican “news” media such as Fox have hidden it. And the “liberal”
press also do, because they don’t want the public to know
that Obama is a closeted Republican. (For
example, The Progressive is published by Lisa
Graves with money from one of the investors in Obama’s nazi
takeover of Ukraine.)
How can the American people vote intelligently if the aristocracy who
own the “news” media won’t even let them know what’s really being done by the
leaders they elect? How can democracy survive a deceived public?
If congressional Democrats want to restore democracy to this
country, they’ll have to introduce the first
impeachment resolution against Barack Obama. If they don’t do
that, then the entire political class in this country is complicit in the
termination of American democracy — it’s not just the Republicans who are
fascists.
