On December 23rd, Gallup headlines\u00a0\u201cUkrainians Disillusioned With Leadership,\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and reports that “nearly nine in 10 Ukrainians (88%) say corruption is widespread in their government, and about eight in 10 (81%) see the same widespread problem in their country’s businesses.\u201d 8% of Ukrainians now say they \u201chave confidence \u2026 about the national government.\u201d 17% approve of the job-performance of their President, Petro Poroshenko. While the pre-coup<\/span><\/a>\u00a0President, Viktor Yanukovych, was in office, 2010-2014, that figure had been averaging about 23%, and was never as low as Poroshenko\u2019s is now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gallup reports, “fewer Ukrainians now say their leadership is taking them in the right direction than before the revolution,\u201d but that statement calling this\u00a0coup<\/span><\/a>\u00a0a \u2018revolution’ embodies the propaganda-lie of one of Gallup\u2019s main clients, the U.S. government itself, which calls the U.S. coup in Ukraine in February 2014 a \u201crevolution,\u201d when every honest and knowledgeable person now knows that this U.S. government claim \u2013 that it had helped install democracy instead of having ended it in Ukraine on 20 February 2014 \u2013 to have been a lie. Even the founder of the “private CIA\u201d firm Stratfor has called the overthrow of Yanukovych \u201cthe most blatant coup in history.\u201d<\/span><\/a> It had been that because it was the first coup to be videoed by numerous people from many different angles with their cellphones and by TV cameras, uploaded to the Web by even anti-Yanukovych countries such as the UK’s BBC; and those videos,\u00a0the best compilation of which is here<\/span><\/a>, make clear that this was, indeed, a coup d\u2019etat<\/i>, no authentic revolution at all, such as the U.S. government claims. <\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the EU\u2019s investigator who had been assigned to report to their Foreign Affairs Minister Cathy Ashton about the overthrow,\u00a0reported to her that it had been a coup, and that even Petro Poroshenko himself said that \u201cour\u201d side \u2013 meaning the anti-Yanukovych people, had done it.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Subsequently, evidence came to light showing how it had been organized:\u00a0the organization for it had started in the U.S. Embassy in Kiev by no later than March 2013<\/span><\/a>. Then, after all of that preparation,\u00a0on 4 February 2014, the U.S. State Department\u2019s Victoria Nuland gave the final instruction to the U.S. Ambassador in Kiev, to have Arseniy Yatsenyuk appointed to run the country after the coup<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0and he became appointed 18 days later, on 22 February 2014, to run the country as Prime Minister, until a new President would be elected \u2018democratically\u2019; but, even the election of President Poroshenko on 25 May 2014 was no democratic event, because the U.S. government didn\u2019t want residents in\u00a0the area of Ukraine that had voted over 90% for Yanukovych<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to be voting in that election. That area of Ukraine (which historically had been a part of Russia) was called Donbass, and it had no say whatsoever in determining Ukraine\u2019s President after the coup, because the new coup-imposed Ukrainian government was already\u00a0bombing it,<\/span><\/a>\u00a0starting on\u00a09 May 2014<\/span><\/a>. None of this could have happened without that \u2018revolution\u2019: U.S. President Barack Obama\u2019s very bloody coup in Ukraine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the man whom the U.S. Ambassador in Kiev, Geoffrey Pyatt, worked with to organize the coup (or \u2018revolution\u2019), the co-founder of one of the two racist-fascist, or ideologically nazi, political parties in Ukraine.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0But Pyatt\u2019s appointee (Andriy Parubiy) left the coup\u2019s gun-play and military planning to\u00a0that man\u2019s paramilitary friend (Dmitriy Yarosh) who had founded the other of the two Ukrainian nazi parties<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then, right after the coup, America\u2019s stooge who now was running Ukraine for the U.S. regime, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, installed leaders of Ukraine\u2019s two rabidly anti-Russian racist fascist or nazi parties into all of the top internal security and military positions<\/span><\/a>, in order to carry out what they called the \u2018Anti Terrorist Operation\u2019 (ATO)<\/span><\/a>, or program to exterminate and drive out the residents of Donbass<\/span><\/a>. The prestigious fascist U.S. think tank, the Brookings Institution, urged Obama to increase the firebombings of Donbass<\/span><\/a>, but he decided not to follow that advice, at that particular time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obama wants ultimately to base American nuclear missiles in Ukraine on Russia\u2019s border (much like the Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev had unsuccessfully tried to do to America in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis), and this coup and ethnic-cleansing (to make the coup-regime stick) is how he goes about achieving his goal. Perhaps the next U.S. President will succeed in it. The entire plan had started under U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush, in 1990; and every U.S. President since then has advanced it further<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0The United States, ever since around 1980, hasn\u2019t been a democracy<\/span><\/a>; it\u2019s a dictatorship<\/span><\/a>. That\u2019s why it does things like this<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in June 2014, shortly after Poroshenko became Ukraine\u2019s President,\u00a0a Gallup poll in Ukraine taken for the U.S. government showed (p. 27)<\/span><\/a>\u00a0a geographical breakdown of the answers to the question “Tell me whether you think Russia has played a mostly positive role or a mostly\u00a0negative role in the crisis in Ukraine. Percent \u2018mostly positive\u2019\u201d. The entire country was broken down into 6 regions there, which included not only the regions that had voted against Yanukovych in 2010 (such as the May 25th election had ex<\/i>cluded) but also the two regions that had voted the most heavily for<\/i> Yanukovych, Donbass (which had voted over 90% for him<\/span><\/a>, and which here constituted the eastern half of the region called \u201cEast,\u201d which entire region was shown as having rated Russia\u2019s \u201crole in the crisis in Ukraine\u201d 35.7% as having been \u201cmostly positive\u201d), and also Crimea (which constituted the entirety of one of those 6 regions, and which had voted around 75% for Yanukovych, and which answered 71.3% that Russia\u2019s \u201crole\u201d had been \u201cmostly positive\u201d). The only other region where Russia\u2019s \u201crole\u201d had been rated as \u201cmostly positive\u201d by more than 3% was the area around Odessa, called here \u201cSouth,\u201d where 28.4% of the people rated it \u201cmostly positive.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All three of the other regions of the pre-coup Ukraine were\u00a0the regions where the Presidential election had been held on May 25th of 2014:<\/span><\/a>\u00a0these were the regions Gallup categorized as Center (2.4% \u201cmostly positive\u201d), North (1.8% \u201cmostly positive\u201d), and West (1% \u201cmostly positive\u201d). So, Poroshenko had been elected as the President for all of Ukraine, but by<\/i> <\/span>only voters in the most anti-Russian half<\/i> <\/span>of that extremely divided country; and now the residents of two of the other areas (areas in the strongly pro-Yanukovych half of Ukraine) had tried to separate from Ukraine and to join again with Russia (of which those regions had long been parts): Crimea, and Donbass. Crimea was accepted by Putin into Russia, but Donbass was not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

U.S. President Obama imposed the economic sanctions against Russia for Russia\u2019s having accepted the pleas of Crimeans to rejoin Russia, and for Russia\u2019s opposition to the Obama-imposed government\u2019s ethnic-cleansing program to exterminate and\/or expell from Ukraine the residents of the Donbass region of Ukraine. The same European Union that accepted Obama\u2019s bloody February 2014 Ukrainian coup<\/span><\/a> have also been accepting his ethnic-cleansing campaign there<\/span><\/a>; and Obama insists upon its being ultimately continued, notwithstanding his Secretary of State, John Kerry\u2019s, internal opposition to it<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
