Nazis replaced democrats.

Fascists in charge may spark direct confrontation with Russia.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>European leaders able to act responsibly support what demands rejection. Ukraine is a fascist dictatorship. Its leaders are Nazi lunatics.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>They terrorize their own people. They risk setting the entire continent ablaze.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Russia acts heroically to prevent the worst possible outcome. Its reward is wrongful blame for US\/Kiev crimes.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>On March 4, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.gov\/p\/eur\/rls\/rm\/2015\/mar\/238147.htm\">Nuland addressed House Foreign Affairs Committee members<\/a>. They shamed themselves for inviting her.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>They should have ordered her apprehended the moment she showed up. She&#8217;s guilty of high crimes too egregious to ignore.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Her statement was polar opposite truth. It was a beginning-to-end litany of Big Lies no committee member challenged.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>She called murdered US-funded, self-serving opportunist Boris Nemtsov a &#8220;freedom fighter, Russian patriot and friend.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>She ignored the almost certain CIA false flag responsible for killing him. She absurdly called Ukraine &#8220;central to our 25 year Transatlantic quest for a &#8216;Europe whole, free and at peace.&#8217; &#8220;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: Washington wants Ukraine used as a dagger against Russia&#8217;s heartland &#8211; with menacing US bases on its borders threatening is sovereign independence.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Nuland called US planned and implements year ago Maidan violence using well-trained Nazi thugs &#8220;peaceful protest(s) by ordinary Ukrainians.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;They braved frigid temperatures, brutal beatings and sniper bullets\u2026Ukraine began to forge a new nation\u2026holding free and fair election\u2026and undertaking deep and comprehensive economic and political reforms.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: US-deposed President Viktor Yanukovych&#8217;s police showed remarkable restraint.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: Washington-supported Nazi thugs bore full responsibility for beatings, sniper killings and other violence.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: Ukrainian parliamentary and presidential elections were farcical &#8211; with no legitimacy whatever.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: So-called economic reforms involve crushing hardships on already impoverished Ukrainians in return for loan-shark-of-last-resort IMF blood money.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: No responsible political reforms exist. None are planned. It bears repeating. Ukraine is a US-installed fascist dictatorship.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Nuland lied claiming &#8220;enhance(d) (Ukrainian) transparency in public procurement, reduce(d) government inefficiency and corruption, (laws) making the banking system more transparent, and measures to improve the climate for business and\u2026foreign investment.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Ukrainian banking is a black hole of grand theft. State farmland and enterprises are being sold to Western predators at fire sale prices.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Corruption is worse than ever. Government and military officials are stealing everything they can get their dirty hands on &#8211; at the expense of imposing crushing austerity on deeply impoverished millions.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hyperinflation grips the country. The &#8220;breadbasket&#8221; of Europe can&#8217;t feed its people. Rationing was imposed.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Energy prices skyrocketed to unaffordable levels. Ukraine symbolizes humanitarian disastrous conditions wherever America shows up.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Nuland recited a litany of Big Lies about the &#8220;new Ukraine,&#8221; &#8211; a Nazified menace to its people, Europe and humanity.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Claiming it&#8217;s &#8220;building a peaceful, democratic, independent&#8221; nation is polar opposite truth.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>She aimed the worst of her rant at Russia and Donbass freedom fighters.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>She lied about Crimea &#8220;under illegal occupation&#8221; &#8211; ignoring near Crimean unanimity to reverse a historic mistake and rejoin Russia.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>She turned truth on its head claiming &#8220;(i)n eastern Ukraine, Russia and its separatist puppets unleashed unspeakable violence and pillage.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>&#8220;MH17 was shot down.

None exists except photos exposed as fakes.<\/p><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: Washington and Kiev bear full responsibility for unleashing unspeakable violence against Donbass residents.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: One or more Ukrainian warplanes downed MH17- a US\/Kiev false flag. Russia and rebels had nothing to do with it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: Russia is the only nation delivering vitally needed humanitarian aid &#8211; inspected by ICRC representatives.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: Minsk ceasefire terms included nothing about Debastseve.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fact: Washington and Kiev &#8220;manufactured&#8221; Donbass&#8217; conflict &#8211; not Moscow or rebels.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Not a single House Foreign Affairs Committee member challenged Nuland&#8217;s obvious and outrageous Big Lies.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>They accepted them as gospel. They let an unindicted war criminal insult them.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Russia and rebels are consistently and wrongfully blamed for US\/Kiev crimes.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Obama wants war, not peace. He wants unchallenged control over America&#8217;s newest colony.
