CIA Terror Chief Pulls Rank in Kiev: The US’s $5 Billion Covert Investment in Regime Change At Stake
There could hardly be an American official more sinister than CIA director John Brennan, yet when his mysterious visit to Kiev at the weekend is exposed in various news media the White House responded with…
As the tanks roll in, the USA/EU/NATO imperialist axis that has almost destroyed the Ukraine plans ever closer co-operation On Sunday John Brennan, the CIA Director, paid a secret visit to the Ukraine (http://rt.com/usa/white-house-confirms-cia-ukraine-448/) . Within 48 hours, Ukrainian armed services launched a controlled assault against rebel positions in the Eastern Ukraine. Repeated claims by the Ukrainian regime and its sponsors in Brussels and Washington that this is an anti-terrorist operation are distortions of reality. The rebellion in the East has genuine popular support, but the mainstream media, the USA/EU/NATO axis, and its puppet regime in the Ukraine cannot allow this fact to become widely known and understood because then people might start to ask questions, like: ‘Why did the “international community” sponsor and support a violent coup by a nationalist mob against an elected government when it knew all along that half of the population, together with a closely related and powerful neighbour, would NEVER accept the outcome?’

How does Washington get away with the claim that the country it rules is a democracy and has freedom? This absurd claim ranks as one of the most unsubstantiated claims in history….
The CIA director was sent to Kiev to launch a military suppression of the Russian separatists in the eastern and southern portions of Ukraine, former Russian territories for the most part that were foolishly attached to the Ukraine in the early years of Soviet rule. Washington’s plan to grab Ukraine overlooked that the Russian and Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine were not likely to go along with their insertion into the EU and NATO while submitting to the persecution of Russian speaking peoples. Washington has lost Crimea, from which Washington intended to eject Russia from its Black Sea naval base. Instead of admitting that its plan for grabbing Ukraine has gone amiss, Washington is unable to admit a mistake and, therefore, is pushing the crisis to more dangerous levels. If Ukraine dissolves into secession with the former Russian territories reverting to Russia, Washington will be embarrassed that the result of its coup in Kiev was to restore the Russian provinces of Ukraine to Russia. To avoid this embarrassment, Washington is pushing the crisis toward war.
Foreign Powers, Terrorism and Regime Destabilization: USA/EU/NATO turns the Ukrainian Narrative upside down As the saying goes – one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter… Faced with a growing revolt in the East, including the killing of a member of the security forces, the nationalist Ukrainian regime, together with its USA, NATO and EU sponsors, has decided that violent protest is not such a good idea after all. According to the Kiev Post Olexander Turchinov, the ‘president’ of the Ukrainian post- coup regime, declared on Sunday 13th April that the National Security and Defence Council had decided that it would launch a large scale anti-terrorist operation involving the armed forces of Ukraine, unless the occupations ended and the rebels disarmed by Monday morning. Turchinov claimed that Russia was entirely to blame for the disorder and violence. Later that day, in an unscheduled and urgently convened UN Security Council meeting, Samantha Power, US ambassador to the UN, also claimed that the attacks in Eastern Ukraine were planned and co-ordinated by Russia, and that ‘there’s nothing grass roots seeming about it(sic)’. This despite the fact that there has been an entirely ‘grass roots seeming’ rebellion developing in East Ukraine ever since the violent overthrow of the legal regime by foreign-sponsored protestors on February 22nd.
Europe should switch from promises to real action to help Ukraine out of the economic chaos, says Russia’s President Putin. “What’s the problem for the near future? It’s that Russia can’t bear the brunt [of helping Ukraine] in a one-way fashion,” Vladimir Putin told the Security Council meeting on Friday. That was the main reason President Putin decided to send a letter to his European counterparts on Thursday, in which he urged them to hold an immediate meeting to decide on a game plan to help the Ukrainian economy out of the crisis. If somebody treats Ukraine kindly, he should make a real contribution to help avoid a default, Putin said. “Giving out pies in Maidan is not enough to support the Ukrainian economy and prevent chaos there,” he added. The address to Russia’s Security Council largely echoed his Thursday letter, where he also stressed that Russia has so far been the only country to provide real help to the Ukrainian economy.
Gunfire has broken out in the city of Slavyansk in eastern Ukraine, where anti-government protesters seized several buildings. The city is under siege after Kiev announced an “anti-terrorist operation” against the protesters. The shooting apparently…
