Indications Its Kiev Regime Is Crumbling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blowback to America Could Be Substantial.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reports coming in, both from professional analysts, and from well-informed residents of\u00a0the Ukrainian areas where we are bombing the residents and assassinating their leaders<\/a>\u00a0(whom our government calls “terrorists”), suggest that\u00a0Obama’s Ukrainian coup in February<\/a>, which installed a regime that is now\u00a0ethnically cleansing Ukraine’s southeast<\/a>, is already producing blowback that will be far costlier to the United States than if we had not done it.<\/p>\n

If these reports prove to be correct (and the present author has checked and verified their details; so, I think they are), then Obama’s Ukrainian ploy will annihilate his reputation inside the United States, as it already is doing outside this country, where the press aren’t controlled nearly so much by the U.S. aristocracy, but instead by those of other nations — aristocracies whose interests don’t always dovetail with those of America’s aristocracy (who back him on this, especially since he’s aggressively following\u00a0the Republican policy-position on it<\/a>; his opponents on this are almost only progressive Democrats).<\/p>\n

Important history is being made now, and it is not being reported to the American people while it is occurring. The present article is based upon the latest strategic reports regarding the situation in Ukraine’s conflict-area.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

A report,\u00a0June 24th<\/a>,\u00a0by an East European business-consulting firm, Geopolitics.by, which is based in Belarus, says that there is growing dissension between the oligarchs atop the current Ukrainian Government, especially between Ihor Kolomoysky ($6.3 billion in Forbes) vs. Petro Poroshenko ($1.3 billion in Forbes), and that the Kiev regime is heading quickly to exhaustion because of the difficulty of finding enough people other than former convicts to do the killing that must be done in the southeast in order to pacify the resisting regions.<\/p>\n

This report says that Kolomoysky finances the\u00a0‘Azov Battalion.’ They were\u00a0created<\/a>\u00a0on 13 April 2014 in a decree by the secret-police chief, the regime’s SS leader,\u00a0Arsen Avakov, who, along with Kolomoysky, planned the May 2nd massacre of resistors inside Odessa’s Trade Unions Building, which massacre sparked Ukraine’s civil war.<\/a>\u00a0The Azov Battalion troops had formerly been troops of the\u00a0Social-National Assembly<\/a>, of the Social-Nationalist Party, which was patterned upon Hitler’s National-Socialist (or Nazi) Party. According to wikipedia’s article on the Social-National Assembly (or S.N.A.), “In the late 2000s, Ukrainian president\u00a0Victor\u00a0Yushchenko [who was supported by the U.S. CIA] and the\u00a0Our Ukraine\u00a0bloc [his Party] bolstered the S.N.A. and other far-right\u00a0groups by supporting an explicitly nationalist view of Ukrainian history.[6]\u00a0Following\u00a0the 2009 death of Maksym Chaika, an S.N.A member who was\u00a0killed in a fight with\u00a0antifascists in Odessa, Yushchenko supported the\u00a0far-right interpretation of Chaika’s\u00a0death, describing him and others as\u00a0heroes and victims driven to violence for a just\u00a0cause.” So, the U.S. was backing Ukrainian Nazis, even before Barack Obama became the U.S. President. Actually, the CIA was advising Ukraine’s Nazis (both of its two Nazi, or racist-fascist, parties) at least as early as 2004, under George W. Bush’s regime. Due to this, for example, one of Ukraine’s two Nazi Parties, the Social Nationalist Party of Ukraine, changed its name to “Svoboda” or “Freedom,” in order to make it seem appealing to the rising numbers of American libertarians or supporters of “freedom” or “liberty” (a slogan heavily promoted by America’s aristocracy, who crave liberty for themselves, from and against democratic government, such as regulatory agencies). Svoboda is one of the two Ukrainian Nazi parties in the country’s present four-party ruling coalition, and the other two parties are merely fascist (not racist-fascist, or “nazi”).<\/p>\n

Today’s Ukraine has the most-far-right government on Earth. It was appointed by Obama’s agent, Victoria Nuland, who used to be Vice President Dick Cheney’s top foreign-policy adviser. Her husband, Robert Kagan, was a co-founder, along with Bill Kristol, of the Project for a New American Century, which cheer-led America’s 2003 invasion against Iraq. Kagan also is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and is also an editor of\u00a0The New Republic<\/em>, a “neo-conservative” publication that’s designed to appeal to Americans who think of themselves as being Democrats, thus conservative “Democrats.” Victoria Nuland was also a\u00a0prot\u00c3\u00a9g\u00c3\u00a9 of both Hillary Clinton and John Kerry. She and her husband are highly regarded by America’s aristocracy, which controls the entire Republican Party, and also the top level (the national level — the Presidential-campaigns level) of the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

The Obama-team chose Arseniy Yatsenyuk to lead the post-coup Ukrainian Government, and he continues in power under the President, Petro Poroshenko, who was elected on May 25th to replace the one whom we overthrew on February 22nd, Viktor Yanukovych. Whereas Yanukovych was elected by all of Ukraine (when it was a unified country, not in civil war), Poroshenko was elected only by voters in the country’s northwest, because had Yatsenyuk \u00a0had begun on May 9th an\u00a0ethnic-cleansing campaign against the residents in the southeast<\/a>, to get the people who had voted for Yanukovuch to become either refugees abroad (in Russia), or else dead (if they don’t leave). This cleansing of Yanukovych’s voters will enable the Ukrainian Government in Kiev to continue as being far-right, but now presumably democratically electing its fascist rulers, rather than imposing them via a staged coup, like we did in February of this year.<\/p>\n

There also have been other, independent, reports, saying that Kolomoysky and Poroshenko are in conflict against each other. On June 23rd, the great American journalist George Eliason, who happens to live in Ukraine, reported\u00a0“Ukraine: Notes from the Southeast,”<\/a>\u00a0saying that Kolomoysky refuses to take orders from Poroshenko and considers him to be weak for even suggesting a “peace plan” with the people in the southeast: “In reaction to the peace plan, Kolimoisky … stated that he will not\u00a0be governed by Poroshenko. He would continue military operations until all the\u00a0Moskal [Russian-speakers] are killed. Take him seriously: this is a guy that rips down holocaust\u00a0memorials (Crimea- before Maidan) and built luxury housing where the\u00a0crematorium stood. He organized and paid for the\u00a0Odessa Trade Union House\u00a0massacre and the Mariupol massacre. He has challenged the legitimacy of Kiev\u00a0and declared himself a separatist. Should we tell president Obama? Does Ms.\u00a0Psaki [Obama’s stooge to the press] know\u00a0anything about this? Is it Putin’s fault [like the stenographic U,S. press says]?” Eliason lays it on the line.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the Obama regime\u00a0installed Kolomoysky<\/a>, whereas voters in Ukraine’s northwestern half actually had a say in “choosing” Poroshenko. Kolomoysky is the monster that Obama and his operative Victoria Nuland are directly responsible for. He couldn’t be a bigger embarrassment to them (though America’s aristocratically controlled press doesn’t even note this remarkable fact — Americans are ignorant of it).<\/p>\n

Furthermore, a Russian news-site headlined on June 27th,\u00a0\u201cKolomoysky Said that He Would Not Obey the Peace Decree Issued by Poroshenko, and reported that, \u201dOligarch Igor Kolomoisky openly declared during Poroshenko\u00a0working trip to the Donbass, that he would not obey the President\u2019s decree of\u00a0achieving a peaceful settlement, and that his army ‘will, no matter what,\u00a0finish off’ the resistance fighters in the South East. This information was\u00a0revealed by a source in the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine,\u00a0on conditions of anonymity, RIA Novosti reported. ‘During Poroshenko\u2019s working visit to Donetsk region\u00a0Kolomoysky openly told the president that he will never obey and his army will\u00a0still finish off \u00abthese separatists,” said the agency informer.\u00a0The source added that oligarch Kolomoysky\u00a0remains the main adversary not just of the ceasefire but [of] any talks with the resistance forces.”<\/p>\n

Kolomoysky has a consistent record of violently imposing his will, and he had won control over billions of dollars of wealth in Ukraine\u00a0by use of his privately hired army<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Geopolitics.by continued its report, by saying that the Kiev regime’s bombers are now flying over the southeast “blindly,” because the “militias destroyed or took control of radars on controlled territory.” If true, this would virtually doom our campaign to force the residents there to either die or else flee, because Obama’s plan requires\u00a0continued success<\/a>\u00a0of that\u00a0bombing campaign<\/a>\u00a0against the people who had voted for the previous Ukrainian President, Yanukovych. There are also\u00a0videos and pictures of the firebombs being dropped on these people<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Reuters<\/a>, “NATO will\u00a0consider permanently stationing forces in eastern Europe, something it has\u00a0refrained from\u00a0doing in the 15 years since the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland\u00a0joined the alliance\u00a0after the fall of\u00a0the Berlin wall.” The aim of the Obama Administration seems to be that Russia will be compelled, by public opinion back home in Russia, to send into Ukraine, planes, tanks, and troops, to stop the U.S. stooge-regime in Kiev from bombing Russian-speakers in Ukraine’s southeast, at which point the U.S. can then claim that “Russia’s aggression” is proven, and the U.S. can then go to war against Russia’s invading forces. Russia seems not willing to comply and to provide Washington the pretext it seeks for an outright U.S. invasion of Ukraine to protect the Ukrainian people from \u201cRussian aggression\u201d there. The Reuters report further says that, “the United States and NATO allies want to\u00a0show Moscow that former\u00a0Soviet republics on the Baltic are under the alliance’s\u00a0security umbrella.” When the Soviet Union tried to show Washington that America’s nearby neighbor, Cuba, was under the Soviet Union’s security umbrella, John F. Kennedy said no, he wouldn\u2019t allow it; and Russia’s Vladimir Putin will do the same this time around. The only difference between then and now is that, then, Khruschev could claim the capitalist-communist\u00a0ideological divide as being ultimately behind his effort to threaten the United States with missiles; but, now, Obama doesn’t have any such ideological excuse. If anything, it is Putin who comes across as the seeker-of-peace here.<\/p>\n

The mass-murder of residents in Ukraine’s southeast by Obama and his stooges will probably fail to produce the effect that he had been hoping for.<\/p>\n

The great progressive, but former conservative, Paul Craig Roberts, recently wrote about the fissures that are now beginning to emerge at the very top of the Kiev regime’s outright Ukrainian-nazi power-structure, between Arsen Avakov and Dmitry Yarosh; and Roberts then succinctly describes what seems to be a natural reconstruction of what is going through Vladimir Putin’s mind now. It makes remarkable sense:<\/p>\n

“This is what Putin thinks:\u00a0The Americans promised Gorbachev that they would\u00a0not take NATO into Eastern\u00a0Europe, but the Americans did. The Americans\u00a0withdrew from the ABM Treaty,\u00a0which prohibited escalating the arms race with\u00a0anti-ballistic missile systems \u00a0<\/em>[systems designed to give the U.S. first-strike nuclear ability to wipe out Russia without Russia being able to attack the U.S. in response].\u00a0The Americans arranged with Poland to deploy\u00a0anti-ballistic missile bases on\u00a0Poland\u2019s border with Russia. The Americans tell us\u00a0the fantastic lie that the\u00a0purpose of American missile bases in Poland is to protect\u00a0Europe from\u00a0non-existent Iranian ICBMs. The Americans change their war\u00a0doctrine to elevate\u00a0nuclear weapons from a retaliatory deterrent to a pre-emptive\u00a0first strike\u00a0force. The Americans pretend that this change in war doctrine is\u00a0directed at\u00a0terrorists, but we know it is directed at Russia. The Americans have\u00a0financed ‘color revolutions’ in Georgia and Ukraine and hope to do so in the\u00a0Russian\u00a0Federation itself. The Americans support the terrorists in Chechnya. The\u00a0Americans trained and equipped the Georgian military and gave it the green\u00a0light\u00a0to attack our peacekeepers in South Ossetia. The Americans have financed\u00a0the\u00a0overthrow of the elected government in Ukraine and blame me for the anxiety\u00a0this caused among Crimeans who on their own volition fled Ukraine and\u00a0returned\u00a0to Russia from whence they came. Even Gorbachev said that\u00a0Khrushchev should\u00a0never have put Crimea into Ukraine. Solzhenitsyn said that\u00a0Lenin should not\u00a0have put Russian provinces into eastern and southern Ukraine.\u00a0Now I have these\u00a0Russian provinces agitating to return to Russia, and the\u00a0Americans are blaming\u00a0me for the consequences of their own reckless and\u00a0irresponsible actions.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Perhaps, to Putin, Obama looks to be stupid; but Putin’s public words regarding the America President are so conciliatory as to make excruciatingly painful Obama\u2019s continued demonizing of him. Putin is letting Obama punch himself right over the ropes and outside the ring, into the aghast audience.<\/p>\n

Maybe we are watching Barack Obama flush himself down history’s toilet, because Republicans need to despise him for being a “Democrat,” and Democrats have to be idiots to continue<\/em> thinking he’s actually one of them. He’s instead the greatest gift that the Republican Party (which gave us the scandalously vile George W. Bush) can have, in order to make this nation feel now actually nostalgic about Bush’s Presidency. Obama is the lowest-regarded of all living Presidents or former Presidents<\/a>, considerably below GWB. Watching his Presidency collapse is sort of like watching America’s dreams about itself go up in smoke. It is amazing.<\/p>\n

Something\u2019s gone really bad in America. Two Presidents in a row like this, and: What\u2019s next? As long as America\u2019s media keep lying to us like they\u2019ve been doing, it can only be a continuation of very bad surprises. And the aristocracy, who own those media, will blame the American public for it. How neat.<\/p>\n
