“No amount of propaganda can make right something that the world knows is wrong.”
– President Obama, March 26

Russia continues to spin a false and dangerous narrative to justify its illegal actions in Ukraine. The Russian propaganda machine continues to promote hate speech and incite violence by creating a false threat in Ukraine that does not exist. We would not be seeing the violence and sad events that we've witnessed this weekend without this relentless stream of disinformation and Russian provocateurs fostering unrest in eastern Ukraine. Here are 10 more false claims Russia is using to justify intervention in Ukraine, with the facts that these assertions ignore or distort.

1. Russia Claims: Russian agents are not active in Ukraine.

Fact: The Ukrainian Government has arrested more than a dozen suspected Russian intelligence agents in recent weeks, many of whom were armed at the time of arrest. In the first week of April 2014, the Government of Ukraine had information that Russian GRU officers were providing individuals in Kharkiv and Donetsk with advice and instructions on conducting protests, capturing and holding government buildings, seizing weapons from the government buildings’ armories, and redeploying for other violent actions. On April 12, armed pro-Russian militants seized government buildings in a coordinated and professional operation conducted in six cities in eastern Ukraine. Many were outfitted in bullet-proof vests, camouflage uniforms with insignia removed, and carrying Russian-designed weapons like AK-74s and Dragunovs. These armed units, some wearing black and orange St. George’s ribbons associated with Russian Victory Day celebrations, raised Russian and separatist flags over seized buildings and have called for referendums on secession and union with Russia. These operations are strikingly similar to those used against Ukrainian facilities during Russia’s illegal military intervention in Crimea in late February and its subsequent occupation.

2. Russia Claims: Pro-Russia demonstrations are comprised exclusively of Ukrainian citizens acting of their own volition, like the Maidan movement in Kyiv.

Fact: This is not the grassroots Ukrainian civic activism of the EuroMaidan movement, which grew from a handful of student protestors to hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians from all parts of the country and all walks of life. Russian internet sites openly are recruiting volunteers to travel from Russia to Ukraine and incite violence. There is evidence that many of these so-called “protesters” are paid for their participation in the violence and unrest. It is clear that these incidents are not spontaneous events, but rather part of a well-orchestrated Russian campaign of incitement, separatism, and sabotage of the Ukrainian state. Ukrainian authorities continue to arrest highly trained and well-equipped Russian provocateurs operating across the region.

3. Russia Claims: Separatist leaders in eastern Ukraine enjoy broad popular support.

Fact: The recent demonstrations in eastern Ukraine are not organic and lack wide support in the region. A large majority of Donetsk residents (65.7 percent) want to live in a united Ukraine and reject unification with Russia, according to public opinion polls conducted at the end of March by the Donetsk-based Institute of Social Research and Policy Analysis. Pro-Russian demonstrations in eastern Ukraine have been modest in size, especially compared with Maidan protests in these same cities in December, and they have gotten smaller as time has progressed.

4. Russia Claims: The situation in eastern Ukraine risks spiraling into civil war.

Fact: What is going on in eastern Ukraine would not be happening without Russian disinformation and provocateurs fostering unrest. It would not be happening if a large Russian military force were not massed on the border, destabilizing the situation through their overtly threatening presence. There simply have not been large-scale protests in the region. A small number of separatists have seized several government buildings in eastern cities like Donetsk, Luhansk, and Slovyansk, but they have failed to attract any significant popular support. Ukrainian authorities have shown remarkable restraint in their efforts to resolve the situation and only acted when provoked by armed militants and public safety was put at risk. Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) observers have reported that these incidents are very localized.

5. Russia Claims: Ukrainians in Donetsk rejected the illegitimate authorities in Kyiv and established the independent “People’s Republic of Donetsk.”

Fact: A broad and representative collection of civil society and non-governmental organizations in Donetsk categorically rejected the declaration of a “People’s Republic of Donetsk” by the small number of separatists occupying the regional administration building. These same organizations confirmed their support for the interim government and for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.

6. Russia Claims: Russia ordered a “partial drawdown” of troops from the Ukrainian border.

Fact: No evidence shows significant movement of Russian forces away from the Ukrainian border. One battalion is not enough. An estimated 35,000-40,000 Russian troops remain massed along the border, in addition to approximately 25,000 troops currently in Crimea.

7. Russia Claims: Ethnic Russians in Ukraine are under threat.

Fact: There are no credible reports of ethnic Russians facing threats in Ukraine. An International Republican Institute poll released April 5 found that 74 percent of the Russian-speaking population in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine said they “were not under pressure or threat because of their language.” Meanwhile, in Crimea, the OSCE has raised urgent concerns for the safety of minority populations, especially ethnic Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars, and others. Sadly, the ethnic Russians most at risk are those who live in Russia and who oppose the authoritarian Putin regime. These Russians are harassed constantly and face years of imprisonment for speaking out against Putin’s regular abuses of power.

8. Russia Claims: Ukraine’s new government is led by radical nationalists and fascists.

Fact: The Ukrainian parliament (Rada) did not change in February. It is the same Rada that was elected by all Ukrainians, comprising all of the parties that existed prior to February’s events, including former president Yanukovych’s Party of Regions. The new government, approved by an overwhelming majority in the parliament -- including many members of Yanukovych’s former party -- is committed to protecting the rights of all Ukrainians, including those in Crimea.

9. Russia Claims: Ethnic minorities face persecution in Ukraine from the “fascist” government in Kyiv.

Fact: Leaders of Ukraine’s Jewish as well as German, Czech, and Hungarian communities have all publicly expressed their sense of safety under the new authorities in Kyiv. Moreover, many minority groups expressed fear of persecution in Russian-occupied Crimea, a concern OSCE observers in Ukraine have substantiated.

10. Russia Claims: Russia is not using energy and trade as weapons against Ukraine.

Fact: Following Russia’s illegal annexation and occupation of Crimea, Russia raised the price Ukraine pays for natural gas by 80 percent in the past two weeks. In addition, it is seeking more than $11 billion in back payments following its abrogation of the 2010 Kharkiv accords. Russia’s moves threaten to increase severely the economic pain faced by Ukrainian citizens and businesses. Additionally, Russia continues to restrict Ukrainian exports to Russia, which constitute a significant portion of Ukraine’s export economy.

UKRAINE: CIA And EU Collude To Execute Another Color Revolution

Even after the world community of nations watched US envoy Victoria Nuland show up in the Ukraine with the explicit purpose of fomenting a coup d’etat, the Ukrainian president seems powerless to stop its momentum.

Such is the profound and pervasive power that the CIA, NSA, DIA and US State Department exert around the globe. Even with the countless alternative news websites on the internet exposing US-UK -EU crimes against other nations, do they proceed with starting civil wars without impediment.


How can this be so in an age when the people have steadily taken back their power from the aforementioned alphabet soup agencies that seemingly run their covert, black budgeted operations anytime they choose to?

ANSWER: These US agencies and their European counterparts, when colluding to trigger a revolution for the purposes of regime change, have so finely tuned the implementation of the HEGELIAN DIALECTIC that they are still virtually unstoppable. This continuing predicament is possible only because the people, who are victims of the relentless mind control programming which accompanies these color revolutions, are vulnerable. They have been made vulnerable by a panoply of techniques and measures which the secret services have employed since time immemorial. Only now their strategies are more sophisticated, more stealthy, more imperceptible by the average citizen.

How is it that a large national constituency can be so influenced that they will vote or revolt, sacrifice or rebel in a manner that is clearly against their best interest?

The answer is quite simple, as the Ukraine conflagration vividly illustrates. The CIA et al. has for years surreptitiously built their network and cultivated their contacts throughout the western half of the Ukraine. Knowing that the eastern half would always lean toward Russia because of proximity and cultural ties, they knew they only had to control the eastern side of the equation. And so they did. And so they have up to this very day.

This state of affairs eventually permitted the CIA tet al. to utilize their “Divide and Conquer” strategy with awesome effect. Once the two sides are fighting with each other, as they are now, it just a matter of execution.

Isn’t this exactly what we are witnessing in Kiev. And, in the other major cites throughout the Ukraine where they CIA et al. are effectively exporting the same strategy and violent tactics. This divide and conquer MO is absolutely essential to the whole color revolution dynamic because it allows them to invoke “plausible deniability” whenever the Russians rightfully accuse the US & Company of implementing a classic CIA-coordinated coup d’etat.

As long as enough Ukrainians step up to the plate to sacrifice life and limb for the US-UK-EU cause, there’s no blame to rub off on John Kerry, or Victoria Nuland, or Barack Obama. In reality, all three of these characters are directly responsible for yet another crime against a nation in which innocent civilians are used as pawns and sometimes killed. When will the American people wake up to this fact of life? How many more large and small genocides must the community of nations watch before they collectively respond to terminate this criminal behavior by governments? Is this really just state-sponsored terrorism?!

Poland’s Solidarity Leader Jumps On Board The Putin-Bashing Train

As Lech Walesa recently opined that it’s all about the money, one can only speculate that the EU & COMPANY desperately need Ukrainian “money” because of their ongoing, slow motion nation-by nation bankruptcy. Here is Walesa’s quote exactly:

“But the truth is, if Ukraine were part of the European Union, it would give Russia an opportunity to make 10 times more money because Ukraine’s economy and trade would become more stable and prosperous.”[1]

What Walesa is really trying to say is that the EU stands to make that much money by controlling the Ukraine markets, natural resources, export/import channels, transportation network, oil and gas conduits, and political apparatus once they join the European Union. These are, after all, the immediate and stated goals of the EU representatives who have weighed in on the matter. And they are determined not to let Russia interfere with their plans, no matter what the level of chaos or death toll required to attain it.

Herein lies the root cause of the current mayhem being sewn throughout the nation of the Ukraine.

The catalyst for the extraordinarily violent confrontation between the opposition and the current administration is the viability of the European Union itself. The EU has been so decimated by years of deep recession and national bankruptcies throughout the PIIGS nations that they desperately need a fresh market to exploit. The Ukraine provides just that, and much more.

“The EU has become such an economic drain on the rest of the world, especially the US Federal Reserve, that its current and future indebtedness and unfunded liabilities are simply untenable. Hence, the Ukraine is looked to as a temporary savior because of its many large and robust markets, well established industrial base and transportation links to Asia, as well as it vast natural resources and raw materials.”[2]

Unfortunately, this excerpt spells out the formidable macroeconomic forces at work in this unfolding national cataclysm. The EU is like a pit bull that has tasted a little blood and will simply not let go. Their outright and aggressive interference in Kiev is so bold that it graphically betrays their true intentions. Quite frankly, rarely has anyone ever seen US gunboat diplomacy so naked and bold. Working in concert with the EU, the US (especially the FED) knows that its fortunes (and solvency) depend greatly on the future prospects of the Eurozone. Many now wonder whether Russia can contain such a rabid dog, especially when so much is at stake for their largest neighbor and ex-Soviet trading partner.

“Problem ~ Reaction ~ Solution”

The most effective tool in the CIA et al. toolbox is this: “Problem ~ Reaction ~ Solution”. This dynamic of mass manipulation has become so effective at engineering color revolutions around the globe that it’s surprising more nations are not falling prey to it. In the case of the Ukraine, it all started with the failure of their President to sign a critical trade agreement with the EU. That was the “Problem”. The people in the western part of the country were then riled up, whereupon they basically took over the capital. This preplanned and unusually violent takeover was run out of the Western capitals, as such an obviously manufactured, mass revolt would never have happened spontaneously.

The “Reaction” of course was the President’s response to the aggressors. His Administration had every right to protect their capital city and all state buildings. The ferocity of the opposition protest was such that the government was forced to use force. What would Obama do if such an uprising occurred in Washington, DC? Yes, there would be much more blood in the streets. Yet the West now threatens the Ukraine with sanctions even though the government is doing only what it is tasked to do.

Now comes the “Solution”. The EU and Company are using every bit of leverage they can muster to get what it is that they really want. They will accept nothing less than a Ukraine marketplace that is totally available for exploitation, without any Russian constraints on their financial intentions or economic plans. This solution is taking shape by the day, as one EU nation after another steps forward with their veiled demands and/or transparent expectations.

Conclusion:

This is how it works when predatory capitalism enters its final stages of evolution (read devolution). The lack of real recovery throughout the global economy has created very similar tensions which are now breaking out everywhere — Venezuela and US, India and US, Japan(and US) and China, Thailand, Turkey, Argentina, Brazil, etc. Even the entire Arab Spring phenomenon was a glowing and hard-to-watch example of this geo-political and economic dynamic.

The true state of the European Union is such that it is in tatters both economically and financially; thus, they feel they have no choice but to self preserve at any cost. As for the hapless folks in the Ukraine, they know so very little about what is driving the US-EU juggernaut over their nation. The MSM (Mainstream Media) has done very little to reveal what has been described in this exposé. As usual, the MSM has portrayed this national plight as they do in every instance, and in so doing they serve as a necessary accomplice to a full-blown color revolution — Yankee-style.

Without the MSM carrying water for the Obama and previous US Administration, these color revolutions would never be so successful. There are numerous examples of headlines below which demonstrate the MSM and US Federal Government contributions to this national catastrophe unfolding in the Ukraine. You really have to wonder if there is any conscience whatsoever, as the many media and political operatives brutally execute yet another CIA-concieved coup d’etat.


At the end of the day, it will be the American people who will bear the brunt of so much animosity being generated by these color revolutions. They are occurring more frequently around the world, and producing death tolls and serious injuries that are completely unacceptable. Perhaps it is time to hold to account the US politicians, diplomats, CIA agents, NSA operatives, media reps, etc. who participate in these highly orchestrated events. Otherwise, the responsibility may fall at the feet of those who are the most blameless.

America Needs Democracy.

 

[ptldM3]

This has been laughed out in past days. And it's not facts but lies, very bad ones at that.

The article claims "fact" that because AK-74s are present which is one of the primary arms of the Ukrainian military that it must be Russians Orange ribbons too, that is lame.

Also its a fat lie that the Ukrainian parliament or government does not have far right fascists, radical parties such as svoboda and right sector hold a number of government posts.

Also give me a link to Russian web pages recruiting volunteers.

Also according to the state department this kid is also a GRU commando. He is wearing a St George ribbon.

Yep scores of GRU captured in Ukraine. Very reliable sources coming from people that claim the protesters in east Ukraine are wearing the "exact same" uniforms as soldiers in Crimea, i don't recall Russian soldiers wearing Ukrainian uniforms, motorcycle helmets or civilian cloths. But hey, since the state department said it's true, it must be, never mind actual facts and photos which you can compare yourself. Just go by what you are told, after all the government has never lied and is corruption free, WMD, the tea party scandal, illegal surveillance, ect only reinforces how honest the government is.
