(Even the founder of the \u201cprivate CIA\u201d firm Stratfor acknowledges that the February 2014 overthrow of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovuch, which started this, was <a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/editorials\/head-stratfor-private-cia-says-overthrow-yanukovych-blatant-coup-history\/\"><span class=\"s7\">\u201cthe most blatant coup in history\u201d<\/span><\/a> \u2013 and it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8-RyOaFwcEw\"><span class=\"s7\">run from the U.S. White House<\/span><\/a>. It precipitated, as a purely defensive measure by Russia, Russia\u2019s accepting Crimea\u2019s bid to rejoin Russia: Crimea had been since 1783 the base for Russia\u2019s crucial Black Sea fleet, which Obama wanted to kick out of there.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">Any news-media that issue this news-report are honest, because the news-report itself is (and none of them is being charged anything to publish it; so, expense is not involved here). Any that don\u2019t issue it, each reader can judge \u2013 and nobody has to wait for a nuclear war in order to do so; the \u2018news\u2019 media can be judged right now, because this coup occurred a year ago, and yet still it has not been reported in the U.S. as having <i>been<\/i> a coup (this overthrow was supposedly instead a result of \u2018the democratic Maidan demonstrations\u2019 that were actually used merely as a cover for it).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">Furthermore, the present reporter offers to all other journalists the full text of <i>the only thorough investigation that was ever done regarding the overthrow of Viktor Yanukovych<\/i>, a rigorous scientific analysis of all of the existing evidence. It concludes exactly as did <a href=\"http:\/\/fortruss.blogspot.com\/2015\/02\/the-paet-ashton-transcript.html\"><span class=\"s7\">the European Union\u2019s investigator when he first reported on 26 February 2014 that it had been a coup, which had been perpetrated by \u201csomeone\u201d allied with the EU<\/span><\/a> (presumably by the U.S. White House); it shocked Catherine Ashton, the EU\u2019s foreign-affairs chief, when she learned it from him. This lengthy subsequent independent investigation into the matter is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.greanvillepost.com\/2015\/01\/12\/the-snipers-massacre-on-the-maidan-in-ukraine\/\"><span class=\"s7\">by far the most thorough examination that exists of the event<\/span><\/a>, and it is titled, \u201cThe \u2018Snipers\u2019 Massacre\u2019 on the Maidan in Ukraine.\u201d Its author is University of Ottawa political scientist, Dr. Ivan Katchanovski. Any \u2018news\u2019 medium that decides not to publish the present news report about this American international atrocity, and that <i>also<\/i> does not at least request from me (or from Dr. Katchanovski) that full investigative report by Katchanovski about how this ethnic cleansing started, is clearly not interested in reporting the truth, regarding what is actually the most important international-affairs news-story of the past year, since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8-RyOaFwcEw\"><span class=\"s7\">the February 2014 coup<\/span><\/a>, at least \u2013 the only matter that could very possibly end up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2014\/06\/indications-u-s-planning-nuclear-attack-russia.html\"><span class=\"s7\">producing World War III<\/span><\/a>. (Obama wanted a proxy war against Russia to soften them up for the real thing; and the result is all of this bloodshed in Ukraine during and since that coup a year ago.) So: nobody can say that the reason it\u2019s not being reported is that it\u2019s not important news (now become history) to report.
