Washington’s prestigious bipartisan think tank, the Brookings Institution, has now issued a call for American taxpayers to finance more firebombings, clusterbombings, and other support to the ethnic cleansing, which has been going on since\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s coup<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 the\u00a0ethnic cleansing<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that\u2019s occurring in the region of Ukraine\u2019s southeast that\u2019s called \u201cDonbass\u201d (which is the Ukrainian area shown in dark purple on\u00a0this map<\/span><\/a>, the map of the election results in Ukraine\u2019s last nationwide Presidential election before\u00a0the coup<\/span><\/a>; and that\u2019s the same region which rejects the U.S.-imposed\u00a0coup<\/span><\/a>-Government; the people there had voted 90% for the man whom\u00a0the U.S. coup<\/span><\/a>\u00a0overthrew, which is the reason the U.S. Government wants them eliminated, so that Ukraine can keep the land \u2013 and its resources \u2013 but now\u00a0cleansed<\/span><\/a>\u00a0of its\u00a0residents<\/span><\/a>, so that the U.S. can place missiles there\u00a0aimed at Russia<\/span><\/a>, which is America’s current strategic objective: to control Russia).<\/span><\/p>\n On Monday, February 2nd, Brookings (whose Michael O\u2019Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack had been among the leaders of the invade-Iraq movement before the 2003 U.S. invasion there on false pretenses) issued a report,\u00a0\u201cPreserving Ukraine\u2019s Independence, Resisting Russian Aggression: What the United States and NATO Must Do.\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0This report urged\u00a0\u201cproviding direct military assistance\u2013in far larger amounts than provided to date and including lethal defensive arms\u2013so that Ukraine is better able to defend itself. The U.S. government should provide Ukraine $1 billion in military assistance as soon as possible in 2015, followed by additional tranches of $1 billion in FY 2016 and FY 2017.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n That euphemism \u201cdefensive arms\u201d is for gullible individuals only: guns and tanks obviously fire in both directions, and so do anti-tank weapons etc. \u2013 and there was no \u201cRussian Aggression\u201d in Ukraine until the Obama Administration\u00a0violently overthrew the existing Government there in February of last year<\/span><\/a>. Adolf Hitler claimed to be \u201cdefending\u201d Germany when he invaded and took over Poland in 1939, following a \u201cfalse flag\u201d incident in Poland that could have been a model for Obama\u2019s in Ukraine last year, and the United States is copying not only his PR tactics about it, but the continuing violence afterwards, differing mainly in his using surrogates to do the job, instead of (as Hitler did) claiming the consequences as being his own. (Hitler was able to tell Germans that Poland was threatening Germany, but Obama can\u2019t likewise persuasively say to Americans that Ukraine constitutes a threat to America: Americans aren\u2019t\u00a0that<\/i>\u00a0gullible, and he knows this.) As the following videos of the U.S.-sponsored firebombings \u2013 and of regular bombings \u2013 of cities and villages in Donbass will make clear, these consequences also compete rather well with Hitler\u2019s in their sheer violence.<\/span><\/p>\n An outline of that coup should be expressly stated here:\u00a0The U.S. overthrew Ukraine\u2019s peaceful (though like all of that country\u2019s previous ones corrupt) Government, by hiring Ukrainian (and some foreign) masked racist-fascist (or nazi) mercenaries (who were dressed as that Government\u2019s security forces so that the existing Ukrainian President would be blamed), to fire down onto anti-corruption demonstrators massed at Kiev\u2019s Maidan square<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u2013 and here will be shown the reality of what our billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are already buying for the resulting war from that overthrow, which Brookings wants Americans to buy yet more of:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But, first, it should also be noted, in this introduction, that the OSCE, Organization for Security & Cooperation in Europe,\u00a0refuses to investigate<\/span><\/a>\u00a0the documented usages of firebombs in Ukraine\u2019s war against the southeastern portion of Ukraine, Donbass \u2013 the region that rejects the legitimacy of the Ukrainian Government which came into power at that violent February 2014 coup. (Here<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is the U.S. official on 4 February 2014 at the very moment when she was selecting the man to run Ukraine after the coup, the man who then did become appointed as Ukraine\u2019s leader 22 days later. And\u00a0here is the telephone conversation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0during which the EU’s minister for foreign affairs first learned that it had been a coup.)<\/span><\/p>\n However, some of these firebombing-instances have (notwithstanding OSCE and other U.S.-controlled agencies) been caught on videos, the authenticity of which has not been challenged; and, sometimes, the resulting fires on the ground have likewise been documented in these videos. The Government blames these firebombings on the residents they’re firebombing, and calls them “Terrorists” for rejecting this Government and for wanting not to be ruled by it. However, the people who live in the region are not the people who are flying those planes and dropping these bombs onto them. It\u2019s always the Government \u2013 the Government that Obama placed into power in Kiev a year ago. As\u00a0this phone conversation<\/span><\/a>\u00a0made undeniably clear, that government had been brought to power in a coup that was recognized, at the time, as being such (a coup), even by the man who ultimately won Ukraine’s Presidency after the coup, Petro Poroshenko; furthermore, it\u00a0violated Ukraine\u2019s Constitution<\/span><\/a>. Everything that has occurred since then (and actually even since at least\u00a025 January 2014, leading up to the coup<\/span><\/a>) is fundamentally illegal; and that is why the country is now being ruled by sheer force; and anyone who would pretend otherwise is not honest about the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n With all of that out of the way as an introduction now, we can consider:<\/span><\/p>\n OUR FIREBOMBINGS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Here is a video of a typical firebombing of a Donbass village, this one being Gorlovka:<\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/vimeo.com\/117365735<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Not all of Gorlovka was destroyed in that attack; so, the Ukrainian Government sent in a plane with a large bomb, and here is someone standing in the crater<\/span><\/a> that was caused by it:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net\/hphotos-ak-xpf1\/t31.0-8\/10257335_675024849275209_2236534272937457688_o.jpg<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The British website, Vice News, has sent reporters into the region, and the present reporter previously headlined about that,\u00a0\u201c<\/span>Britain\u2019s Vice News\u00a0Reports Ukraine\u2019s\u00a0Firebombing of\u00a0Southeast<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span>\u201d<\/span>\u00a0I noted then that their reporters independently verified that Iliovaisk had been hit by a bombing attack \u201ceach of which warheads delivered hundreds of 4,000-degree-Fahrenheit thermite pellets that are illegal to use, except when deployed precisely against military targets, not against civilians, and not imprecisely, such as here (via an \u2018unguided rocket delivered by an outdated 9K51 MLRS system\u2019).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n This was their firebomb-video of \u201cRockets Exploding Over Iliovaisk\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=V70lGPnycxk#t=47<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The present reporter has also discussed the multiple evidences of\u00a0\u201cUkraine Atrocities: The Illegal Use of White Phosphorous Fire Bombs Against Donetsk Civilians,\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0which linked to videos taken by Russian Television of one particular such event. For example, Here is a sequence of three of these videos, first of the firebombing itself, then of the resulting fires, and then of the residents hiding in their basements trying to protect themselves from the attack:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WUEPfn4Gq44&feature=player_embedded<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tWU8w61d514<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CvXb0JQVT64<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n So: it is clear that this is happening, and that it\u2019s being little reported in the West \u2013 and that it\u2019s not<\/i> being investigated by Western agencies (such as the OSCE).<\/span><\/p>\n And here, we have\u00a0“Ukraine\u2019s President, to\u00a0the People He\u2019s\u00a0Bombing: Go to Hell!\u201d<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aHWHqj8g7Bk<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n And here is that same person addressing a special joint session of the U.S. Congress and receiving lengthy standing ovations from them:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GgmHpQwpPP8<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n C-Span showed the whole thing, and opened with a solid one minute and eight seconds of standing ovation for him, before House Speaker John Boehner formally introduced Poroshenko:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zS9w0pAhtQI<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n And, as if that doesn\u2019t already make sufficiently clear that the Washington Establishment is almost entirely united in its support for nazism in our time, Chris Ernesto at UkraineWar.Info bannered, on 30 January 2015,\u00a0\u201cUS Announces Support\u00a0of Neo-Nazis,\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and he reported that, “Pentagon officials confirmed last week that\u00a0US troops\u00a0will deploy to Ukraine\u00a0in the spring to help build the\u00a0Ukrainian National Guard. In addition to sending US\u00a0troops, Washington has already sent\u00a0heavy military\u00a0equipment and has earmarked $19 million for\u00a0Ukrainian forces.\u201d Ernesto documented that the money that U.S. taxpayers will increasingly be sending to Ukraine will be used in order to intensify the campaign to exterminate the people in Donbass, the people who reject the Government that was imposed upon Ukraine by the United States in an\u00a0illegal<\/span><\/a>\u00a0coup. (And it\u00a0certainly<\/span><\/a>\u00a0was a\u00a0coup<\/span><\/a>, which is known as such\u00a0practically everywhere but in the West<\/span><\/a>.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n President Poroshenko has especially honored one military leader, Andriy “Biletsky, who was given an ‘Order For Courage’\u00a0award by Poroshenko,\u201d and who “recently wrote that,\u00a0‘The historic\u00a0mission of our nation in this critical moment is\u00a0to lead\u00a0the white races of the world in a final crusade\u00a0for their\u00a0survival. A crusade against the Semite-led sub-humans. The task of the present generation is to\u00a0create a Third Empire.<\/span><\/a>\u2019\u201d Adolf Hitler called it\u00a0\u201cthe Third Reich.\u201d But now that the U.S. aristocracy are placing rabid nazis into power, they get standing ovations in the U.S. Congress.<\/span><\/p>\n These little Hitlers, such as Biletsky, have no conscience-qualms about being led by a big black Hitler in the world\u2019s superpower, and serving the American aristocracy, and many Jewish aristocrats, and not only most of Ukraine\u2019s aristocrats (many of whom, like Ihor Kolomoysky, are likewise Jewish), otherwise called\u00a0\u201c oligarchs.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What they all are actually fighting for, is the global supremacy of America\u2019s aristocracy. In this sense, and only in this sense, Hitler really did lose WW II: Germany\u2019s aristocracy were reigned-in, even if only a bit. After that War, there was a long FDR-shaped interregnum of increasing democracy in the United States and throughout the developed world; but then came 1980 and Ronald Reagan and the reverse long-term trend, back toward fascism, and now into outright nazism (racist<\/i> fascism), this time against Russians, whom Republicans have long particularly hated. (Obama pretends not to hate them; he condemned Mitt Romney for saying, \u201cin terms of a geopolitical foe, \u2026 Russia is the geopolitical foe.”<\/span><\/a> Obama is the master-liar; Romney wasn\u2019t smart enough to be in his league, on that; so, Romney lost.) After 1980, America\u2019s aristocracy defeated not only (Hitler\u2019s bane) democracy itself, in the United States and in much of Europe, but they are climbing yet higher on the global power-mountain, increasingly threatening to defeat Russia\u2019s aristocrats, who are, it seems, just about the only ones that today are trying to organize a global resistance against them, and therefore against global dictatorship by the American elite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Yet again, Russia is being forced to wage war against the apparently insatiable leading fascist and even nazi (racist-fascist) powers, the global aristocracy (led by the U.S. aristocracy). And, yet again, it\u2019s not something that any Russians wanted; it\u2019s instead something that no Russians seek or sought. Only the global aristocracy seeks it \u2013 because Russia is, still, the only powerful opponent of the global aristocracy, the only powerful nation that won\u2019t buckle to it.<\/span><\/p>\n So, of course, outfits like Brookings want U.S. taxpayers to spend yet more billions, in order to bring Russia\u2019s aristocracy under American aristocrats\u2019 (or \u201cU.S. mega-corporate\u201d) control.<\/span><\/p>\n \u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n Investigative historian Eric Zuesse is the author, most recently, of They\u2019re Not Even Close: The Democratic vs. Republican Economic Records, 1910-2010<\/i><\/span><\/a>,<\/i> and of \u00a0<\/i>CHRIST\u2019S VENTRILOQUISTS: The Event that Created Christianity<\/i><\/span><\/a>.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eric Zuesse INTRODUCTION Washington’s prestigious bipartisan think tank, the Brookings Institution, has now issued a call for American taxpayers to finance more firebombings, clusterbombings, and other support to the ethnic cleansing, which has been going on since\u00a0Ukraine\u2019s coup\u00a0\u2013 the\u00a0ethnic cleansing\u00a0that\u2019s occurring in the region of Ukraine\u2019s southeast that\u2019s called \u201cDonbass\u201d (which is the Ukrainian area […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1254,"featured_media":140633,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[487],"tags":[115,96,535,59,527,526,524,92,51,523,49,76,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-143326","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-breaking-news","8":"tag-barack-obama","9":"tag-cover-up","10":"tag-global-news","11":"tag-military","12":"tag-nuclear-war","13":"tag-propaganda","14":"tag-russia","15":"tag-terrorism","16":"tag-torture","17":"tag-ukraine","18":"tag-usa-news","19":"tag-warfare","20":"tag-white-house"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1254"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Screen](\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Screen-Shot-2015-02-03-at-10.37.27-AM.png\")
