West Will Not Arm Ukraine With Lethal Weapons

So the West will not arm Ukraine with lethal weapons, and I personally think this is a bad investment for security in the region. Don't worry, contemporary Ukraine and its friends will find a way to arm itself. The West has been anally hesitant on helping Ukraine to defend itself against a clearly aggressive neighbour called the Russian Federation, which I would much rather label as Moscovia, a failed state. The current behaviour of Putin and his entourage of the Kremlin is based on pseudologia fantastica or simply a bunch of lies which has been the basis of Russia for the last three centuries.

While many Western nations sit on the sidelines and wonder what is going on in the Donbas region of Ukraine, and get their information form Moscow sources, fed through Moscow's proxies, there are a number of nations that are standing up to Moscovia in different manners.

While the West continues to state it will not arm Ukraine with lethal weapons, the East, namely Japan, has stated in short "that we should be silent about arming Ukraine". In short it is no one's business but Ukraine and its supports to know.

This is the first and only intelligent comment I have heard from any foreign nation that has openly stated that is supporting Ukraine in its efforts to ward off an aggressive Russia hell-bent on truly destroying the Ukrainian state, as it has been for the last three two four centuries.

A Sick Approach to Self Annihilation

I have plenty of times stated that Vladimir Putin and his philosophical scum-lord Alexander Dugin are individuals with "genocidal tendencies", and that being said let's not forget either Dugin's statement below and who Putin holds as his heroes. In case you haven't seen some of the statements of Dugin, take a look at this:

https://twitter.com/2111015/status/579064383952826369

Dugin's is not made up, and he has stated this on more than one occasion. He is simply an animal and I will quote a well known animal behaviourist at this time, because, just having re-read one of his seminal works forty years later, I understood one very clear statement in the concluding chapters of Konrad Lorenz's book King Solomon's Ring where he stated the following:

Wordsworth is right: there is only one being in possession of weapons which do not grow on his body and of whose working plan, therefore, the instincts of his species know nothing and in the usage of which he has no correspondingly adequate inhibition. That being is man. With unarrested growth his weapons increase in monstrousness, multiplying horribly within a few decades. But innate impulses and inhibitions, like bodily structures, need time for their development, time on a scale in which geologists and astronomers are accustomed to calculate, and not historians. We did not receive our weapons from nature. We made them ourselves, of our own free will. Which is going to be easier for us in the future, the production of the weapons or the engendering of the feeling of responsibility that should go along with them, the inhibitions without which our race must perish by virtue of its own creations?

This being the case it does not surprise me that that former adviser to Vladimir Putin would state:

https://twitter.com/UmlandAndreas/status/585343259280539648

While the barbarians of Muscovia have no innate desire to be compassionate to their so called "little brothers" in Ukraine, I think this will lead to their own downfall. The Grand Duchy of Muscovia has had grumblings from Siberia and has been successful any form of a national uprising in those geographic territories; though with the price of crude at what it is and with sanctions on Iran potentially being lifted this could cause crude to tumble even lower. In turn, this would give Putin and his criminal regime another good kick in the testicles, for an economy based on $110 plus crude price.

I've been aware of the frailty of the Russian Federation for over ten years now, much of this is now being echoed by simple union leader, Polish President and Nobel Prize winner Lech Walesa - that democracy will not come to Russia under it's current borders, In hearing his statements I understand that the discussions I had with fellow journalist/analysts in Kyiv many years ago was not for nought! It became clear to us , in speaking with a journalist friend's cousin, who works for Russia's border services, somewhere near Blagoveschensk or Chita, nowhere close to the Grand Duchy of Moscovia. Here, my friend's cousin stated, that there where many near-border settlements comprised of nearly completely of Chinese nationals involved mainly in questionable trans-border trade. That was back in 2005 and he claimed that the number of Chinese entering those regions far surpassed the number that were going back to China.

The Baltics, Diasporacentric and Expats

While many EU countries have been sitting pretty and being flip-floppers regarding there support of Ukraine for a number of different Eco-political reasons; the Baltic countries, well aware of the psychosis of Muscovy have stepped up to the bat with out a question. The presidents of Lithuanian and Estonia respectively, Dalia Grybauskaitė and Toomas Hendrik Ilves have been extremely vocal in their support of Ukraine in their Twiterplomacy, but they are not the only ones in the region.

Carl Bildt, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden (2006-2014), member of the Supervisory Board of the Institute of World Policy, has long been a vocal supporter of Ukraine. Though I know of at least one other of his compatriots living in Ukraine who at time can be extremely vitriolic towards Muscovia and I have a great deal of respect for him for his comments:

https://twitter.com/andersostlund/status/581771614775324672

While Anders lives and works in Kyiv, there are plenty of others who are of the diaspora ilk who have been contributing to Ukraine's cause. Some are personally know to me and I even provided Mark MacKinnon of the Globe and Mail whom I met years ago, with many of these contacts for this great piece on how Canada's diaspora has been contributing to the cause in Ukraine.


https://twitter.com/erlhel/status/574954384553025537

The Ukrainian community in Canada is one thing, but that same community must understand that Prime Minister Harper is on the cusp of an election and most of what he has been pandering are but red flags for the bulls during the upcoming general elections in Canada. The Ukrainian diaspora community should be taking the current government's actions with a grain of salt.

It is all very nice to send all kinds of non-lethal aid to Ukraine, but sorry, I think they can help themselves in that field at an extremely lesser cost in fact! This has been proven by the countless crowd-sourcing campaigns that are ongoing both in many Ukrainian diaspora communities and in conjunction with the crowd-sourcing community in Ukraine that has provided a great deal of support for Ukraine of a non-lethal type; however, it is time to change our train of thought.

Criminal Dismemberment of the Military Industrial Complex

Much of the bullshit that is going on right now in the eastern most regions of Ukraine and in other parts is due to the breakdown of international law. The Budapest Memorandum failed! Not a single nation that supported and signed that agreement on December 5, 1994 seemed to give a shit when "little green men" found their way into Crimea for its annexation! Most normal nations and people were saying: "What The Fuck!". However, not the signatory countries!

While the Budapest Memorandum stripped Ukraine of its nuclear arsenal, we saw a rapid decline in military spending in Ukraine. It is no secret that when Viktor Yanukovych came to power, he not only usurped constitutional power, he very quickly destroyed Ukraine's military and in fact may have formed Ukroboronprom, the Ukraine Defense Industry, on December 9, 2010 with a goal of centralization of the military industrial complex. In short, this centralization, may have been used for gaining great profits by Yanukovych and his cronies, while disassembling military personnel - there may have been an increase of exports with him and his criminal elite skimming as much off the top as possible.

However, it is not secret that Ukraine Defense Industry has a number of technologies that some have been requesting the West to provide to Ukraine. Nevertheless, has anyone ever considered the Skif ? This seems to be a comparison of the USA produced Javelin! Armaments are not my speciality; however, it may be time for innovative investors to start arming Ukraine in a silent manner as suggested by Ambassador Shigeki Sumi. Maybe this is just one of Ukraine's technology that needs a push forward in order that Ukraine can defend itself.

While, these heavy weapons may exist, there could be a possibility in light arms!

Kalashnikov has become a brand name of terrorists there is no reason why products of the company Fort in Ukraine, which supplies light arms could not be invested in. As a state owned company it may not be possible, but if the state changes its direction this may be possible, only time will tell. It seems that the company already produces its Fort 401 under licence from Israel.

Yes, while Ukraine has been kind of fallen to playing second fiddle as an arms exporter, maybe it is time that those interested in this terrible business, start, like Ukraine's diaspora in arming Ukraine so it can defend itself from the scum which I call Moscovia!

Social media and information warfare: A Thunderclap Case Study

There should be no doubt in any sane individual's mind that Russia is waging a very hybrid war against Ukraine, which includes social media and information warfare, with all its trolls and scum that try to distract those working in Ukraine's interest from being positive. As pointed out by Paul Goble, Vladimir Putin is clever but not very creative. Just as he uses the Goebbels play book of propaganda, he has used Joseph Stalin's hybrid warfare playbook.

From what I experienced last week on social media the trolls have really gotten under the skin of some individuals who are concerned about the well being of kidnapped Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko and one in particular who started the Million Tweets campaign for her release with the hash-tag #FreeSavchenko. Clearly, when the trolls discovered that this campaign existed they began subversive moves in creating hash-tags which looked very similar to the campaign's hash-tag. If one was not careful and aware, they would inadvertently re-tweet these "troll-injected" hash-tags and thus in principle stealing from potential number of tweets that the #FreeSavchenko Twitter Storm campaign. The lead on the Twitter Storm campaign clearly was annoyed with this theft, which he claimed was a hack of Twitter by Moscow. In focusing his energy on dealing with this he was distracted from his main goal, to raise the awareness of Nadiya Savchenko's plight in a Moscow remand prison who had started a hunger strike on December 13, 2014.

I personally had been involved in this Twitter Storm campaign, but had made a conscientious decision to also drive the Thunderclap campaign started by a fellow Canadian living in Kyiv. This second campaign which I backed and drove became extremely successful and even got coverage on UAToday, a recent media project of Ihor Kolomoiskyi. The reaction of some involved in the #FreeSavchenko Twitter storm was extremely surprising to this airtime, was nothing short of childish. I vented about their reaction on Twitter but here I hope to lay the facts to bare, both as why a Thunderclap campaign can be an example of working smarter not harder, and some lessons learned from the two different campaigns I have run.

Why to @ThunderClapIt and my Ukrainian cases


The day after Yanuckovych's storm-troopers descended on students who voicing their interest in the move towards standards of the European Union, on Ukraine's Independence Square, I was contacted by a friend living in Kyiv in order to start, what was called a Thunderclap campaign to reach as many with one simple message. "Ukraine's government has gone too far. Bloodshed is not a a democratic value! Ukraine's people want to be in Europe."

For those of you who don't understand how Thunderclap works, here is a very simple explanation.

Thunderclap allows for those involved in social media, right now on Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter to amplify their social reach through asking their contacts, followers and friends to lend their social contact to the particular Thunderclap. This is very personal when in doing so because most have a hard time in sharing their social reach. I can understand most people for not doing so, however, I still feel that those who are overly anal on this issue is totally out of touch with reality. If you are a person of interest of any security agency globally they have already hacked all your social media accounts. So don't worry about joining Thunderclap! You really are not a person of interest, unless you are ready to commit terrorist acts, or someone who is trying to battle Moscovy's trolls.

One of the biggest problems with Thunderclap is that when you invite others to lend their social reach, that is pretty intrusive for most. However, like I mention above, most are a little too paranoid about sharing such social reach. Such paranoia leads to health problems, so stop it.

Before, I will launch into the case of this Thunderclap I would like to share some the reasons for using a Thunderclap in the realm of social media. This is totally for the free version of Thunderclap, as I am certain if I had a sponsor to conduct my project I may have been able to determine many more interesting insights to this technology and social interaction on social media.

Reasons for using Thunderclap

1. You have a dead line to announce an event. You want many thousands if not millions of people to know about your message at the same time. The deadline helps get your solitary message out at one particular time and it is shared at that time by all those that support the message;
2. You need people go to a particular URL- you have a live event and you want to get people there regardless where they are on this big blue marble, you have to create a message that will be shared to visit that online event. By sharing your social reach you can reach out to thousands of more individuals than you could yourself or through your friends and organizations;
3. Short and Tweet compliant message. This means you are with in the 140 character limit set by Twitter, you must be short and sweet in you final message. It will resonate to all those who lend their social reach to you.
4. While the Thunderclap message may not be something that could be edited effectively for disseminating a message, it could be effectively be used to guide those in the cause to help distribute other pre-prepared messages from a particular website.

Amongst these mentioned reasons, it is very important to work smarter and not harder. While I know there are people out there that don't like my stance on this, that is their problem not mine.

Measuring Success With Thunderclap

Unfortunately measuring of success with many social media initiatives is truly impossible, the social reach one obtains with Thunderclap is very clear.

• When you set your initial goal of social reach with Thunderclap, you will know throughout your campaign what percentage of your goal has been reached;
• There is no second guessing and the entire social reach will receive on your dashboard;
• Your reach, or access to a particular site will be measurable in an ongoing and final methodology.

As mentioned earlier, I was personally involved in driving two Thunderclap campaigns. Measuring success is very different because of both their causes and their goals.

The first campaign was very ambitious, and lets provide some reason why this was the case.

For any Thunderclap campaign there are a possibility of three different goal levels of supporters for your cause and who you believe will end their social reach to your campaign.

• 100 supporters;
• 250 supporters;
• 500 supporters.

These are key components when structuring your Thunderclap campaign, and many people, particularly venturing into this very new domain where there is a trust matter have to consider. Just how many supporters can you bring into your particular Thunderclap cause?

Understanding this number as a goal in starting a Thunderclap campaign is probably one of the most important factors which will determine success or not! Simple!

During our first Thunderclap we attempted to reach 500 supporters, the two of us running the campaign really thought this was possible though we were mistaken. Looking back over the last year I can understand there were many different reasons why this didn't happen, they included, but not limited to:

1. Not clearly understanding how suspicious users are of sharing their social media in any way, shape or form;
2. Along with this was the problem of just how naive users are about how technologies actually work, information technology education is in fact lacking in society as a whole;
3. A clear marketing campaign had not also been developed to market the Thunderclap campaign itself to explain the technology and how it works.

The first campaign reached a social reach of 188,975 individuals with 53% for of our goal of the number of supporters. As a result of not meeting or goal for the number of supporters not being met by 100% our message that was to go out to every individual within the social reach of 188,975 individuals was never Thunderclapped, and thus could be considered an unsuccessful campaign; however, the lessons learned during that campaign were invaluable in running the second campaign which became an information warfare tool in ensuring more people heard a very simple and plain message.

Doing it right for your cause

When I came on board to lead the second Thunderclap campaign, the cause to me was just. It was to make as many people globally aware of Nadiya Savchenko by sending out a single message to as large of a social reach as possible using the three social media platforms supported by Thunderclap: Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter.

Unlike the first Thunderclap I had driven, the goal was much more reasonable and attainable based on our previous experience a year earlier where we had attained 53% of 500 supporters, or 265 individuals and their entire social reach of 188,975. This time we had set our goal for 100 supporters who would be willing to lend their social reach to our very simple message: "Unite with Ukraine to #FreeSavchenko from Russian imprisonment Разом визволимо Надію Савченко із російського полону." I thought how could anyone not want to join very clearly defined cause that had been clearly trending and that I personally had contributed to.

Unlike the first campaign which I had driven, this time I avoided one specific thing! The hard sell! If I was to gain the social reach I desired from the start which was quarter of a million social reach as discussed by my partner on this project, there was no reason I should waste time on trying to hard sell someone. My focus had to be finding my social contacts with great social reach and those which I new believed in the cause. They would help and they did!

In particular there was one fellow, who contributed over 77K of his social reach to our cause, and there was one moment during this informational war where I went one step further than most would. Maybe some people remember a journalist by the name of Irma Krat. She was held from some time by the terrorists of the DNR in Slovyansk. Irma and I have been social contacts for some time and as I was inviting my contacts to join this Thunderclap I discovered that Irma had become a victim of Moscow's trolls on Facebook and had been banned. This pissed me off a great deal, because it had limited the voice of journalist.

I spent some time to get Irma out of Facebook purgatory, not because I needed her on my Thunderclap campaign, but because I have lost a number of journalist and activist friends in Ukraine over the years. By be-all-and-end-all was not the Thunderclap campaign but to be involved in justice. I think anyone who has taken the time to dig deeper into my pages will know I'm not new to Ukrainian matters. Those of you who think you are new heroes, particularly Alex Smith aka @GlastostGone - think again. Your ego like that of so many Ukrainians harms Ukraine and doesn't help it!

Results of a not so perfect campaign

Just as a reminder! A Thunderclap campaign is either ALL or NOTHING. I'd gone through a nothing campaign and now I was going through an all campaign. A Thunderclap in which I knew the social reach would be whatever it was knowing that the goal of supporters was attainable.

I am one of the first to admit that I am not perfect, though that in itself is a strength and not a weakness. I have learnt a great deal over my nearly twenty-eight years working with Ukrainian and other non-governmental and volunteer organizations. For the most part, I find most organizations in Ukraine much more professional than their counterparts in the west; however, newly formed organizations during civil upheaval are staffed by totally non-professionals who make inappropriate judgement calls. While I have evidence of this I do not to expose individual, but their non-professionalism really pisses me off. I had been approached by this organization to consult on both social media and potential Thunderclap campaigns. In all honesty the hypocrisy of these individuals is criminal to say the least!

While this piece was to look at how to use Thunderclap, it has and will become a way of exposing the hypocrisy of those trying to take advantage of a political situation. But no, I will not do that. The culprits know who they are. They are not better or worse than I am, they are just very misinformed and misguided in what they are trying to do.

If you are trying to increase a social reach or global understanding of what allies are trying to do, you to become an enemy of the state you are part of by putting down others. The Thunderclap campaign which I directed was covered on UAToday - not because we tried to push on TV but because journalist from that station contacted my friend and partner on this project - Luc Chenier. Yes, I know there are some of you who hate professionals, well it's time to soak it up. Take some time to listen to this interview to better understand what we accomplished:

http://uatoday.tv/society/social-media-activism-and-the-online-information-war-over-ukraine-406963.html

Continuing the conversation

"Changing the subject in order to change the conversation," this is the way that trolls work for globally. The Thunderclap that I was driving was very much aimed in that direction. This is a key element for any Thunderclap campaign. How to continue a conversation and ensure that it gets into the public eye!

In any Thunderclap campaign it is important to ensure that you get to the final goal. Though this is also the campaign that should exist when dealing with any type of media. I happen to understand old and new media, thought not as a professional but as a user. No, I am wrong, I understand all media better than most having been on the media divide.

So, I put forth the following posit! Why were individuals so anal about the success of our Thunderclap campaign? I hope that they are not afraid in entering into a discussion a little longer down the path. Some of the comments I know about regarding not even seeing the above mentioned TV segment is a enough to show the hypocrisy of NGO's in Ukraine. I have no need to do that, but what I do need to do is share my positive experience.

We were two individuals, with a desire to let the world know that Nadiya Savchenko was on a hunger strike and illegally detained in a Russian reprimand prison. Clearly there were some individuals who felt we were doing the wrong thing! Using a technology to disseminate information in a sensible manner! Sorry to the people we may have pissed off, but we reached our goal. You on the other hand, are still struggling and totally misguided in terms of social media.

While those who are misguided, there are those who do appreciate the work of professionals. In particular, my partner on this project, Luc Chenier, received a message from Ukraine's Minister of Finance, Natalie Jaresko on February 15, 2015. The daunting task that Ukraine's government now has after years of kleptocracy is a daunting one, the this is the shout out which a government official took the time to send.

 

Message From Ukraine's Minister of Finance, to Luc Chenier
on LinkedIn Regarding Our ThunderClap Campaign For those who want to continue to deny that we are all a drop in the bucket towards positive activities contribute to public awareness about Ukraine, continue doing so, we know who you are; and clearly government officials also know that there are people who look at things professionally and who will continue to do so!

Meanwhile

For anyone, who wants to learn how to work smarter and not harder, take some time to follow the following very primitive flow chart.

The Thunderclap process!I together with one partner, gained a social reach of over 350K, and it was not because we worked hard, but we leveraged the technologies that were available to us. You can see that particular extremely successful Thunderclap campaign here. I am completely ready to share more of the lesson's I have learned on how to complete a successful Thunderclap campaign, though for this we have to discuss these matters on a personal and commercial level.

I've don't have to be a hero for Ukraine, I've done my time on the ground. I will do things for Ukraine and others who can understand my knowledge and experience. I'm not a whore, and will never be. I know my value, and right now I can say that my value and if you try to put me down, it simply shows you are idiots and falling into the hands of Moscovy.

Yes, there was a political bent to this piece, but at the same time I hope someone out there learns a bit about Thunderclap as a tool in information warfare. Clearly, there are many who seem to not understand what side we are fighting. I hope they grow up and stop being children soon! The sooner the better!

The V4 Must Help Ukraine Win its Struggle for a Democratic Future

In the near future I will be having guest posts from contacts I have globally. The first of these guest posts is below.

By Volodomyr Valkov

In November 2013 Ukraine was peacefully preparing to sign the Association Agreement with the European Union at the Vilnius summit. Back then it would have probably been considered an absolute hallucinating nonsense to say that in just several months Ukraine would be swallowed by the murder of civilians, outright annexation, terrorism, military conflict, missile fire, and crashing planes.

In a matter of a few months Russia has stolen a huge part of Ukraine’s territory, forever introduced the reality of terrorism into the hearts of many Ukrainians, orchestrated a separatist movement in eastern Ukraine, and started the process of creating two grotesque breakaway republics known as the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Lugansk People’s Republic. The most recent and most somber consequence of this political whirlwind is the tragic loss of lives in the downing of flight MH17.

There are important conclusions that we need to draw from the crisis in Ukraine. First, Russia (as in Vladimir Putin and his circle) has zero tolerance for the democratization of the post-Soviet space, especially in neighboring Ukraine. After all, Ukraine transports 80% of Russian gas to Europe, is the second largest buyer of Russian gas after Germany, has over 1,800 defense enterprises – some of which have unique capabilities in the indigenous production of ships, submarines, missiles, and other armaments – and possesses valuable human capital and large reserves of fertile land, important minerals, and natural resources.

All of Ukraine’s assets would be easy to control if Viktor Yanukovych had stayed in power. Yanukovych and his pro-Russian successors were supposed to oversee Ukraine’s accession to the Eurasian Union. Yanukovych almost completely eroded Ukraine’s defense potential, maintained Ukraine’s astronomic energy inefficiency, increased the presence of Russia’s military base in Crimea, amended the Constitution to usurp power, limited civil liberties, and was about to sell Russia control over the Ukrainian gas transport system.

The second lesson is that international security is a fragile concept. A difficult conflict can develop very quickly, affecting many more states that the warring parties themselves. The shocking way in which the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 has rapidly affected many different countries is a demonstration of the unpredictable, gruesome nature of conflict in a globalized, interconnected world. In a matter of days, the supposedly limited conflict has instantaneously spilled over to the Netherlands, Malaysia, Australia, Great Britain, South Africa, the United States, Canada, and Germany.

Most likely, even the Russian side did not anticipate that the MH17 disaster could have ever been produced by terrorists under its control. Nevertheless, Russia’s unprovoked aggression against Ukraine, and the ideological and material sponsorship of the military fighting in eastern parts of Ukraine, including the supply of sophisticated weaponry to these terrorists, has irresponsibly claimed the lives of too many innocent people.

Russia’s war against Ukraine has been given different names, including hybrid war and proxy war. The main point is that it is, in fact, a war. Currently, the war is limited, but the fate of MH17 demonstrates the susceptibility of this war to expansion.

The countries of the V4 must take important lessons from this tragedy. Their own experience of Soviet rule and thus a deeper understanding of Putin’s actions, must serve as a constant reminder that only a democratic, united, and independent Ukraine can be a reliable, secure, and beneficial neighbor and partner. The V4 need to pass this knowledge along with foreign and security policy recommendations over to the rest of Europe and their allies in order to help Ukraine win its struggle for a democratic future.

Moscovy's labels of obfuscation

One of Putin's heroes is the king of the labels of obfuscation Joseph Goebbels. Putin began taking plays from the Goebbels' playbook of propaganda very early in the information war with Ukraine. In order to not only gain favour in Moscovy and all the other territories which he reins over in typical dictatorial form, but also to find the best way to totally confuse and obfuscate the situation in that part of the world for journalist and media outlets with very little knowledge of the politics of the region nor of the history of the regions well enough to understand they would become unwilling prostitutes of Pimp Putin because of his labels obfuscation.

Pimp Putin made the right call and unfortunately journalists at very good networks have been suckers for his labelling and have continued to use completely inaccurate labels of obfuscation in their reporting and headlines. Clearly their editors are just as guilty and not very savvy, nor seem to care about reporting the truth but rather simply sell copy. It is time that all you journalists, editors and networks stop being suckers for the propaganda of Putin.

I've been an active observer of this region since the early 1980s. I've read its mainstream and dissident literature, I've met with dissidents. I've been actively involved in the democratization process in the region, and I understand many of the nuances that most media junkies, and journos don't. There are some journos who do understand but are dictated by politically correct editorial policy. It may be time for the editorial boards to reconsider their policies when it comes to reporting on particularly Russia, which I would prefer they call Moscovy.

The More Lies the Better

While Goebbels had a certain principle of how to make up lies, Putin's prostitutes have taken this to a whole different level. However, before I get into the lies of Putin's prostitutes let's uncover some of the simple labels that Putin has used to obfuscate not only the facts within Moscovy, but also in the West.

Some of Putin's favourite labels have been, though many of these were born during the time of Stalin: “anti-Semites”,“Banderite Fascists”, “fascists”, “Kiev Nazi Junta” and “pro-Russian separatists”.


This banner reads:
The rules of Russian Propaganda
1) The better the lie, then it will be easier for those to believe it. (Goebbels)
2) There must be many lies, in order that a person chooses beween
a lie and a lie and not between a lie and the truth. (FSB of Russia)

These are just a few of the labels that Putin and Moscovy has used to support his cause in destabilizing Ukraine as he is trying to rebuild USSR 2.0.

Unfortunately, many of these labels have stuck with global media outlets, and they are so far from the truth that the media that use such labels should be ashamed of doing so.

During the early periods of the unrest in Kyiv because of criminal Yanukovych's flip flopping on the Association Agreement with the European Union. It was clear that the label “anti-Semites” was a just one way for Putin and his prostitutes of drumming up international feelings against Ukraine. This became very clear when a friend of mine Maylakh Shelekh had asked trough another journalist that I disseminate the following letter entitled: Open Statement to the International Democratic Community from Ukraine. This international statement in itself shut out Putin's label of “anti-Semite”.

The label of Banderite fascists and fascists has long been a label of Moscovy to try to discredit Ukrainians who were trying to fight for their independence as a nation. From my contacts in Ukraine I had learnt that the volumes that exonerated Ukraine's freedom fighters from the Nuremberg trials were never published in the Soviet Union. Enabling Stalin and his scum hoard to continue it's anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, during the late 1940s and until his death. Even as recently as yesterday Professor Andrey Zubov who had been dismissed of his position at Moscow State University earlier this year for opposing Putin stated the following in a recent interview: “In the Soviet Union, to condemn something, especially after World War II, all you had to do was call it fascism. So "Banderites" were called fascists, although, of course, it was not true.” So by assocication none of the first three Putinite labels hold water.

The label of “Kiev Nazi Junta” was a carry over from Soviet times to try to garner support of the older generation. In adition Moscow had gone as far to try to use the Banderite lie, on May 25th during the extraordinary Presidential elections after criminal Yanukovych fled to Moscovy.

Prior to that day Moscovy's hackers had tried to plant a malicious virus in the Election system computer which would have announced their own predetermined election results. Luckly, this hack was discovered and the continuation of Moscovy's 400 years of lies could not be continued. Their primary National TV station announced that Dmytro Yarosh had received 37% of the popular vote, as per their cypber attack, though the reality was much different. A full analysis of this escapade is available at the Christian Science Monitor website. Just one more sample of different type of label of obfuscation, and one of electoral tampering.

Clearly the “Kiev Nazi Junta” had not come to power but the labels addopted by the Goebbells school of propaganda supported by Vladimir Putin, continued to use this label. However, all of these labels had somehow not stuck with the savvy Western media, there was one that did and it is completely shameful that Western media took this label hook, line and sinker.

The label that really is totally inappropriate is “pro-Russian separatist”. This term is completely absurd for a couple of reasons. A friend of mine who lives in Ontario outlined it as follows:

“If I run 100km south to the Ontario-New York border with a bunch of guns, cross over, arm some local thugs and gangsters, start shooting and torturing people and then declare a tract of land to be an “independent” republic, what does that make me? At a minimum I'm a FOREIGN invader (even though the land I have invaded speaks the same language as me: English, or American, or Canadian, if you prefer). More than likely, Americans will label me a terrorist. No one will call me a “separatist” or a “pro-Canadian rebel”. That would be nonsense.”

As my friend explained to many on Facebook above, it is nonsense that those individuals who are in the East of Ukraine are even being called pro-Russian separatists, when one of their leaders like Igor Strelkov and others are Russian citizens, are armed and financed by Russia but are in Ukraine. For the most part those being captured by the Ukrainian military are people who are being paid my Moscovy to kill Ukrainian soldiers. Starting from $1000 a head.

Ukraine has for centuries fought for its independence, the West has been a little indifferent, for the most part believing Moscovy. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! The West should be ashamed of its understanding of the liars in Moscovy. They have had plenty of apologists and individuals and Universities which received nice presents for programs of Russian Studies, Russian Literature etc. All that was and still is bullshit. The Russian language was contrived, it is not a slavic language therefore can not be the older brother of Slavic nations, though as I often do I have digressed; however, it is time for the West to not only punish Moscovy for its current transgressions, but also for its 400 years of lies.

I have never had so much hatred for anyone from Moscovy and those who are Putin's prostitutes. These include neighbours, and the zombies of Putin's prostitutional media campaign. This is the first time in my life I have ever been so filled with such anger, though I am happy that Putin has done one thing – united Ukrainians globally.

Moscovy's Changing of Labels

As of the July 22, Russia Today, or as I would rather call it Rarely Truthful, and the right hand of propaganda of the Kremlin started using a totally new set of labels: “Russia Today changes its vocabulary for war in Ukraine. Now pro-Russians who used to be "rebels" are "Ukrainian militia". With many Chechens.” This was a journalist friend of mine's post on Twitter.

Sorry but Twitter is a news source of media we have to acknowledge. It is information, and unfortunately not always verified, but information that is topical.

I'm surprised that Moscovy has still not turned to the world to promote one of Rarely Truthful television's greatest heroes.


His name is Graham W. Phillips a Ukraine hater and British citizen. Yesterday I heard that he stepped on a land mine that ended his life. If he did good riddance, he was a sex-pat in Ukraine and Ukrainophobe, no doubt on Putin's payroll. Oh, maybe I sound a little callous? Not really I'm being a realist in regard to my paternal homeland. This character has no roots in that part of the world and he decides to travel to Ukraine continuously bad mouth the nation and its history, a nation that has been under attack for the last 400 years. What ever happens to him in unsafe territory is of his own doing. If he in did in fact did hit an anti-personnel mine, then he had it coming. It was his employer Putin who never signed the Ottawa Treaty banning the use of Anti-personnel mines.

As it turns out it was only wishful thinking on the part of many who hate this Phillips character. It turns out that he is in protective custody of the Ukrainian army this time. This is the second time that he is in custody, and in fact it is time that Ukrainians look into who this guy really is well they have him in custody. Find out what makes him tick, find out about all his pent up hatred for Ukraine and Ukrainians, and find out if he like other scum from the Party of Regions and the Communist Party of Ukraine deny that the Holodomor ever took place and that it was an act of genocide against the Ukrainian people by one very evil man, Joseph Stalin.

Social Media Reveals the Lies of Putin

I, like many others, have grown tired of the oh so many lies of Putin's propaganda machine. I lived in that part of the world for over nine years. In fact I love that part of the world and most of its people. I probably understand both its positive and negative nuances better than the academics here who study the country from afar. And certainly I know that part of the world a lot better than ninety-nine percent of all journalists who report on it. So it is very clear why most are still falling for Putin's propaganda, and using his labels. I can't really blame my fellow Canadians for not have a clue as two what is going on in that part of the world. Though it's not their fault, because Ukrainians have never had the financial wherewithal to dictate what you babble about. Though it is time to think about a more global issues, and the security in Europe had to deal with what the scum Putin will do next.

It has unfortunately taken the lives of two-hundred and ninety-eight individuals for the world to wake up. The terror which is caused by one man alone by the name of Vladimir Putin has finally come to your back yard. Canadians lost one of their fellow citizens on July 17, 2014, and today, July 23, 2014, was a day of mourning in the Royal Kingdom of the Netherlands as the remains of the first forty of its one hundred and ninety-two losses, one of whom held dual Netherlands/USA citizenship, were returned home.

The inappropriately labelled orange boxes have apparently been delivered to the UK and so far according to reports there is no evidence that they have been tampered with, though had they been it would have come as no surprise to anyone with as much as a gram or two of sense in their heads.

Though today it is very clear there that those who are in Ukraine and who had access to the crash site not only interfered with the OSCE team that was on site, but decided that it would be a great idea to benefit from the ravages of war. Yes, this is now considered a war zone by the International Red Cross.

Today the Donbas People's Republic – read Terrorists, was clearly identified through their own admissions that they had pillaged the belongings of the victims of flight MH17 and these items would be used to finance their struggle. This looting has been confirmed by the fact that when families of the victims would call their phones, they would be answered by complete strangers.

Meanwhile, back on the Russian side of the Ukraine-Russia border an over zealous Russian soldier decide he wanted his five seconds of stardom for their followers on the Russian Social Media platform Vkotonkte, which literally means to be in touch. Vadym Grygoriev wrote, “We've been shelling Ukraine all night long!” However, he was either technologically inept, drunk, or both and forgot to turn off the geo-tagging feature of the device he used to reach out to his loving followers. This location was clearly recognized as being on the Russian side of the Ukraine-Russia border. Though he is not the only one, Ukrainian actvists have been finding more and more of these Russian soldiers who are revealing their positions. Clearly such a provocation by Russia is yet another attempt to roll out the war horses for a full incursion into Ukraine. I hope that somehow this evidence can be used against Mad Vlad and all his prostitutes and Putin's Pricks.


Vadym Grygoryev a fellow with a few chomosones
or brain cells missing reveals how Russia shelled accross Ukaine's border.
Today, the Netherlands has filed a claim of International War Crimes against Russia, Ukraine has to add its weight to this suit. It has plenty of evidence of kidnapping, torture and the indiscriminate killing of individuals because they spoke Ukrainian. Putin's Moscovy continues in its war against Ukraine in trying to eliminate a people and a nation. Putin and all those who have been his prostitutes in this venture must be punished. That included all journalists of Rarely Truthful propaganda media regardless of their nationality. They have spread lies and hatred conjured up by very evil people in the Kremlin.

Day of International Criminal Justice and Putin Continues Committing Crimes

July 17 marks the day that the Rome Statute was signed and thus chosen as the Day of International Criminal Justice. The Rome Statute established the International Criminal Court on this day in 1998, and by July 1, 2002 it had entered into force. Somehow after the terrible atrocities of the early and mid -twentieth century the world had forgotten about things like genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression. As a result of such crimes in Rwanda and in the Balkans eventually 122 states have signed and ratified this Statute.

As off 2012 Ukraine had signed but still not ratified the Rome Statute, and with no doubt in my mind this gerrymandering of the part of the Yanukovych criminal regime for: On 4 April 2012, the Foreign Minister of Ukraine told the President of the International Criminal Court that "Ukraine intends to join the Rome Statute once the necessary legal preconditions have been created in the context of the upcoming review of the country’s constitution. No doubt it didn't because of Yanukovych diddling with Ukraine's constitution. I hope President Poroshenko and the current government ratify this document for at this point it could play in their favour.

Russia, is also a signatory of the Statute and probably never want to ratify it, as it is one of the largest perpetrators of crimes against neighbouring states, ethnic groups and much since the demise of the Soviet Union, which was just as fictional and deceitful as the Romanov Dynasty! And the murders of countless more people than Hitler, Pol Pot, and the scums in Rwanda and Srebrenica.

The Hail of Terror

Since Poroshenko's election on May 25, 2014 some serious inroads have been made in liberating territories held by Moscovy backed and its citizen terrorists in the East of the country. Ukraine's crowd funded and primarily volunteer military forces together with what remains of Ukraine's regular forces have been taking on heavily Moscow operatives in the East of Ukraine and they are doing an incredible job.

Many can't understand why, because they have been so suckled at the teat of living in a democracy they will never understand what it is to fight for your nation and its freedom. The patriot volunteers and many who have died are young, they have experienced the non-Soviet ideology and its freedom. This in itself is one of the crowning factors of which represented the Euromaidan over the Orange (R)evolution. While I have not been a proponent of Ukrainians dying to defend their country against foreigners, I have definitely stated in the past that Ukraine would not become a nation without a bloody revolution!

As many of these young heroes pushed the Moscovite citizen shit-disturbers out of their strongholds of Slovyansk, those same scum decided to run towards to Donetsk! Though let's remember who these people running from Slovyansk to Donetsk are... and sorry brother where to hell did they get their armour?

However, for some time now these so called Russian Separatists who are in fact led by a Russian citizen by the name of Strelkov, he is a Russian Intelligence Operative who has caused a hell of a lot of fucking problems in Ukraine. I don't apologize for cursing.... I like every single citizen of the world has the reason to be totally pissed off with the international community for being a little more than “gravely concerned about the situation in Ukraine!”

With the flight of so-called Russian-Separatists by lazy-arsed Western media from Slovyansk, most forgot about one critical little element that these Russian/Mosovite citizens had in their possession? Let me remind you all! It's known as Grad, which means “hail”!

As the Moscovite forces began their retreat from various cities they decided that it was time to really show their masculine potential as fighters! So they used what is know as an Multiple Launch Rocket System - also known in that part of the world as “Grad”. Consequently this weapon system has been known for some time in the international arena as a Weapon of Mass Destruction. It even stems back to the Sino-Russian War from what friends of mine in the Former Soviet Union tell me. It would have been one thing to use such weapons against military targets, but as all good “terrorists” do they decided to aim their rockets against civilian residential areas of Donetsk and Luhansk. So just what is it like to have the their wonderful “hail” beseech you? This what rockets fired from such a MRLS do:

The result of Grad Fire in the Marynka district of Donetsk. Image from The Day.

Crimes of Sexual Aggression

Though this has not been the first of their heroic good deeds. They have constantly used women and children as human shields. And more recently they have been capturing young women and holding them captive as sex slaves. “To help their soldiers relax!” While this may have been acceptable during the times of Genghis Khan, and other so called states derived from such an ideology, this is not accepted international practice. Don't forget Moscovia never was pillaged as Kyiv was. Because its leaders became prostitutes of the Khan.

In short they licked and sucked anything to not be punished by the Mongol Golden Horde! While their older brother in Kyiv bore the brunt of aggression.

The idea of having someone subservient to you became a tradition of the little Mongol cock suckers who became, due to identity theft – Russians, from the word Rus'. Let's simply look at the Russian word for marriage... Brak.. where to hell in a Slavic world would that word exist. Look up the word Brak in Wikipedia.. and tell me what does it give you: Moscovite bullshit. And then look up the Ukrainian word Shliub (Шлюб) and you will very quickly understand the difference in value systems between Moscovy and Ukraine.

It is really time for the West to look at the lies that Moscovy has been feeding to the West over the last 400 plus years. It seems that in Moscovite history it has always been OK in treating women like dirt. The scum bags who believe this history continue to do so.

World wake up! Putin is directly responsible for the illegal anexxation of Crimea, and the criminal destabilization in the East of Ukraine and a totally crazy propaganda war that has to be understood by the West and its journalists.

I am sure it can not be proven at the moment, but if the criminal Putin has anything to do with this behaviour, and he and all those who controls it have to be tried at the ICC! There is no doubt in my mind! And there should not be in any humane individual's mind either.

Those who are holding these young women along with their commander in chief Vladimir Putin must be tried at International Criminal Court for these crimes. Justice must be served and Putin's proxy Russian Army including traitors of Ukraine like Oleh Tsariov must be arrested for crimes against women in particular and humanity in general.

Media Response

Finally, the death of innocent civilians has brought some interest to the conflict, clearly instigated by Moscovia. So World what are you going to do now? I hope you do not play the Neville Chamberlain;s role. For the most part the West has sat on the bench at the side of the field. “It's not my problem!”

“Oh goodness we are gravely troubled by the situation in Ukraine!”

A typical lame and political response. Every single politician who was just then gravely concerned should now feel for the loss of innocent lives. Most politicians in most parts of the world still remain full of shit.

Such responses unfortunately are widespread.

Media response to this tragic event is dependent on local communities understating the bigger picture. This is a terrible abrogation of law, and procedure.

The first media outline who was on the murder scene was no doubt, one of Moscovy's Monkeys. LiesNews which is officially known as LifeNews. Though this outlet together with Moscovy's major propaganda machine in the West known as Russia Today, which should be re-branded as Rarely Truthful TV, and other Prostitutes of Putin reported the strangest theory of why flight MH 17 crashed and who was at fault.

It really was from the world of Alice in Wonderland, and as if poisoned like the Mad Hatter himself, who made the following claim: “It was the Ukrainian Army which had tried to down the Moscovite equivalent of “Air force One” in order to kill Putin.” Who was after all on a flight from Warsaw to Moscow.

The reaction of the majority of Western media in the firsts hours was extremely cautious. Particularly small media outlets without the staff in the know of current events in Ukraine. Though what they have to stop doing is calling this group of Russian terrorists led by Strelkov a Russian citizen and Military Operative in Ukraine, pro-Russian separatists; when the majority of these individuals are citizens not of Ukraine but of Russia. I know, they stopped teaching logic in North America sometime in the early 1960s so it is not my fault that many journos in Canada or the USA can't put two and two together, particularly those working mainstream media.

Sweep up operations

Two days have passed since this horrific event. Plenty of people have asked the question why fly over a war zone. The fact is that it happens every day! I'm not an aviation specialist but worked in the aerospace sector during the 1990s and it was pretty common for commercial airliners to be cruising at an altitude of 10 km or somewhere between 33,000 and 34,000 ft, and it is no different today. The real question they should be asking is who gave a so called rag-tag team of pro-Russian Separatists in the East of Ukraine the armaments capable of striking a target at 33,000 feet? Again I will say this for Western journos, these are not pro-Russian operatives with Russian citizenship sent to Ukraine to destabilize Ukraine. In short take a lead from your fellow Ukrainian journos who have been calling them what they are for a few months now. I guess as long as it is not in your back yard you will go with what Moscovy feeds out to you.

Journalists in the west have to stop listening to the overly cautious individuals in the field and on the ground. In addition they have to stop regurgitating anything coming from official sources in Moscow. The very Russophile journalists in France are doing this continuously, take the example of the journos who's country is under attack by a war mongering neighbour, known as the Russian Federation but to me it is Moscovy. If yo don't know why take a look here a some of the lies Moscow has made up over the last 400 years.

Let's not forget that Putin is and sill is a KGB officer. Any operation he undertakes requires some sweeping up. It is tragic that the world has forgotten his operations in Beslan, the Nord-Ost theatre, destruction of apartments in Moscow to justify more war in Chechnya, and the invasion of Georgia “to protect fellow Russians” while the world focused on the Beijing Olympics. In providing the advance weapons system to his operatives in the east of Ukraine, he very well knew that he would have to also hide or destroy as much of the evidence as possible. Once KGB, always KGB.

As the first of OSCE teams arrived on site of the crash they were given a bit more than cooperation by Putin's backed terrorists in accessing the crash site. One of the scum-lords from the terrorists known as “Grumpy” did not let the OSCE team approach the site, and according to reports after a warning shot was fired the team departed. However, the sweep up operations of the actually incident happened a lot earlier. It started happening on social media very shortly after the terrorists realized they had shot down a civilian plane.

There was an immediate attempt on social media to destroy any evidence that a civilian plane had been downed. This is very well covered in an article in the Guardian and I am not going to cover this here. But the facts do speak for themselves.

My good friend and former Ukrainian journalist on his site notes that right now only “192 bodies have been recovered so far (19:00 GMT, July 19) and they are being transported to Kharkiv for identification.” However there are reports that terrorists took 39 corpses to destroy evidence (wounds from the missile attack).”

In such sweep up operations it is clear that Putin will do everything in his evil power to ensure that no one in the international community will have access to the “black boxes”. This should not surprise anyone at all, but it should be a rallying cry for the civilized world to do everything possible to do as much damage as possible to this cretin who operates along the lines of the Golden Horde which his ancient predecessors so love to kiss ass in order to be in favour with them.

It is due time that all evidence of this manical miscreant be gathered and that he and of of his Monkeys of Moscow face their day before the International Criminal Court in the Hague, and face international criminal justice.

Liars of Moscovy - Myths debunked

History as it should be written and not as it has been by the liars of Moscovy for close to the last half millenium. I don't want to take credit for this document, but it was posted in its original language of Russian, by a good friend of mine on Facebook. When I tried to find the original author I couldn't; however I found the original document posted on thousands of different forums. I took the the time to verify as many of these facts as possible and added some addition information from some of the research I did.

Below my translation from the Russian language, you will find the original document as posted by my friend in Kyiv.

Let the Russians refute these 10 facts:

1. The state called – Muscovy was renamed to Russia by Tsar Peter 1 only in the 18th century, in 1721.

2. A tribe called the river flowing through the region Moskva, in the Moksha language this can be translated to mean “dirty water”. There is no other language in the world which can translate this word. The word - “kremlin” is a Tartar word which means “a fortification on a hill”.

3. In the Middle Ages all European cartographers worked and created their maps all the way to the borders of Rus' (Rus' – is the territory of contemporary Ukraine!) The Ulus (a turko-mongolian sociological term which delinates a particular group of people) of Moscovy, with its Finnish people, had always been designated as part of the Horde and Europe appropriately considered it to be part of Asia.

4. Moscovy (Russia) paid tribute to the Crimean Khan(!!!!!), its sovereign and their Host, who was a successor of the Golden Horde until 1700. The Tsar of Moscovy met with the Crimean ambassador on Poklannaya Hill who was on horseback, while the Tsar was on foot leading the horse by the bridle to the Kremlin, once inside he sat the ambassador on the throne and knelt before him.

5. In Moscovy in the year 1610, the dynasty of Genghis Khan came to an end Morza Gudun – better known to the world as Boris Gudunov, and then throned Alexey Koshka an ancestor of the Finnish Kobyla family, and in marrying him to the church they renamed him and gave him the surname Romanov, as if he had come from Rome to rule over Moscovy!

6. Catherine the Second, after the end of the rule of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795, made a decree that all the Finno-Urgic tribes of Moscovy to be named socalled Great Russians while the Ruthenians or true Rus people to be called Little Russians!

7. No one ever saw the original agreement of Peryaslav of 1654 which was allgedly signed by Bohdan Khmelnytsky and the emissaries of Tsar Alexey of the created Romanovs!?

8. For many centuries, archaeologosts have tried to locate artifacts which would confirm the location of the Battle of Kulikovo, though searches have proven fruitless in proving that such a battle of Dmitri Dontsov being victorious over Mamai ever took place. To date it is but a myth created based on the finding of a few artifacts by a procurator of the Most Holy Synod, on Stepan Nechayev. Such a position allowed him to create any myth he chose. So until now this myth of the battle has been bellowed out, though there is little proof it ever took place!

9. The Pskov, Novgorod and Smolenks oblasts of Russia – were all former principalities Slavic- Rus Kingdom and had nothing to do with Finno-Urgic Moscovy, whilst they were respectively occupied by the Horde in 1462, 1478 and 1654. And Slavic tribes or peoples never lived in other areas of Moscovy, the present Russian Federation.

10. The Golden Horde and her daughter - Muscovy – were the only nations in the world that ever enslaved their own people. This explains the eternal backwardness of Moscovy which is so rich in natural resources as compared to European countries which are at a disadvantage when it comes to thse resources. Indeed, the efficiency of free people is much higher than that of slaves...


One of my followers on Twitter commented that this write up reminded him of a particular song. So I would like to include that video here for all who follow my museable musings here and who understand Ukrainian you will agree with my friend on Twitter.

Пусть россияне опровергнут эти 10 фактов:

1. Державу с названием - Московия царь Петр 1 переименовал в Россию, аж в 18 веке, в 1721 году.

2. Племя Мокши назвало свою речку Москва,а перевод этого названия, с языка Мокши, звучит как "грязная вода". Любые другие языки Мира не могут перевести слово Москва. Слово "кремль"- татарское и обозначает укрепления на возвышенности.

З. В средние века все картографы Европы писали и проводили границу Европы вдоль границ Руси (Русь - это территория нынешней Украины!!!) Московия - улус, со своими финскими народами, всегда была составляющей Орды и ее Европа справедливо относила к Азии.

4. Московия (Россия) платила дань Крымскому Хану(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), своему СУВЕРЕНУ и ХОЗЯИНУ ,который был правоприемником Золотой Орды, вплоть до 1700 года. Царь Московии встречал крымского посла на Поклонной горе, садил его на своего коня, сам пешим, под узду, вел коня с крымским послом в Кремль,
садил его на свой трон и вставал перед ним на колени!?

5. В 1610 году, в Московии на Борисе Годунове (мурза Гудун) закончилась династия Ченгиз идов (родственник Чингисхана) и на трон возвели Алексея Кошку с финского рода Кобылы, а при венчании его на Царство церковь дала ему фамилию Романов, якобы прибывший с Рима править Московией!

6. Екатерина 2-я, после оккупации последней свободной Руськой Державы-Великого Княжества Литовского (тер. Беларуси) в 1795 г., своим приказом велела назвать угро-финские племена Московии какими-то великороссами, а украинцев - истинных русичей – малороссами!

7. Никто и никогда не видел в оригинале договор о воссоединении между Московией и Украиной якобы подписанный Б.Хмельницким и Царем А.Романовым!?

8. Уже несколько столетий археологи Московии ищут артефакты подтверждающие достоверность Куликовской битвы, но пока безуспешно, вот только басню о победе Д.Донского над Мамаем распевают до сих пор, на все
голоса!?

9. Псковская, Новгородская, Смоленская области России,- это бывшие славяно-руськие Княжества и до угро-финской Московии не имели никакого отношения, покуда Московия - Орда не оккупировала их соответственно в 1462, в 1478, и в 1654 годах. А в других областях РФ (Московии) никогда не обитали славянские племена и народы.

10. Золотая Орда и ее дочь - Московия,- это единственные страны Мира, которые держали в рабах собственный народ. Это и объясняет вечную отсталость богатой на природные ископаемые Московию от сравнительно обделенных на природные ресурсы европейских стран. Ведь эффективность работы свободных людей гораздо выше, чем рабов...

” Putin Khuylo ” or Putin’s Goebbels School of Propaganda

Language is a wonderful thing and the ability to communicate is fascinating. Very often phrases get lost in translation and rather than clarifing one point or another they become obfuscated. The need to clearly communicate becomes even more challenging during times of crisis and war. Russia would like the world to believe that the violent events in Ukraine are due to fascist leadership in Ukraine, which could not be further from the truth.

With the election results in from the presidential elections held on May 25, 2014 it becomes extremely clear to anyone who can think clearly, that the so-called “fascists” as portrayed by Moscovy are so far from being in power – Putin and company must be smoking or ingesting some really powerful mind altering substances, or not, and they are simply conducting an informational war. The informational war is aimed at two different audiences, the people of Russia who Putin really doesn't give a shit about and just wants to along with the lefties and far right in the West.

With Ukraine's far-right party Правий Сектор [Right Sector] garnering very little of the popular support at the May 25, 2014 Presidential and municipal elections in Ukraine, “Putin's well-worn fascist lies” are starting to run a little thin. A letter which I posted at the request of some some of its signatories back on December 12, 2013 entitled: “Open Statement to the International Democratic Community from Ukraine” provides evidence that the “Nazi-like” activities were coming from Moscovy and not from within Ukraine itself. The rhetoric coming out of Moscovy regarding anti-semetism was long ago debunked in the same letter, though most sensationalists don't bother listening to the people in the heart of “Maidan” and the ousting of one of Ukraine's biggest criminal-presidents Viktor Yanukovych.

While the, “Right Sector, an organization made up of ultranationalist and extremist groups (a couple of them bordering on being neofascist), conducted a "rescue mission," in which the car of the group's leader, Dmytro Yarosh, was used to evacuate the family of an Israeli citizen from fighting in Ukraine's east. They also helped remove anti-Jewish graffiti from a synagogue's walls and met with the Israeli ambassador in Kiev.” It becomes even more clear that the “Hotbed of Anti-Semites” as Putin claims is nothing but a pile of shit!

Anti propaganda and the truth

Russia is following in the footsteps of Joseph Goebbels when comes to ramping up propaganda regarding the events in Ukraine. There is now no freedom of the press in and in order that the rest of the world really understands who Vladimir Putin is a simple phrase has emerged during the protests. That phrase is very simple and succinct as communication should be - “Putin Khuylo!” In fact yesterday it made its way around on social media, particularly on Twitter, where I know I personally helped disseminate the Urban Dictionary defintion of this very succint phrase!

It reads as follows:

I have no issue with the definition – though the transliteration is incorrect and should be “Khuylo”, derived from the word “Khuy” and not “huy”. Folks at @urbandictionary please do take note and modify your definition to be properly transliteration! The cyrillic letter “X” is pronounced like “Kh” as in the word Khan and not as the word Hand.

Given the evidence, Putin can not be trusted – and like Goebbels he is lying to his own people and the world. Don't be fooled by him. Today a Russian drone was shot down in the east of Ukraine. Explain to me where “peaceful ethnic Russian protestors” would get access to such an aerial piece of equipment? In short – Putin Khuylo and so is Georgiy Mamedov.

Call out to President-Elect Petro Poroshenko

Exit polls are not an exact science, though from my years consulting with Democratic Initiatives Foundation, the first Ukrainian NGOs to ever use such a tool as form of control over elections, they are pretty damn accurate when properly designed and with an appropriate sample size. Given all the problems cause by one man by the name of Vladimir Putin. He can be considered one of the greatest threats to peace and environmental destruction in this world, and is clearly turning out to be a product of his dictatorial past as an agent of the KGB.

Today's elections in Ukraine where historic in many different ways. With two of Ukraine's eastern oblast of Luhansk and Donetsk being under the control of Russian sanctioned terrorists, voting in the industrial heartland of the country was next to non-existent – in Luhansk oblast only 2 of twelve Territorial Commissions have been able to set up and run, and in Donetsk there were only 7 of twenty-two according to official figures of the Central Electoral Commission on the morning of May 25 on election day.

In the mean time the newly formed independent region of Novorossia, led by pro-Russian anti-democratic and nothing short of criminal backed Oleh Tsariov, decided to burn ballots, destroy ballot boxes and continue to use terror to keep people from voting. This had been the modus operandi of those who have wanted to be self-proclaimed leaders in different districts of Eastern Ukraine.

The people have spoken - Moscovy continues with lies

Regardless of all the difficulties Ukrainians turned out en masse to vote. As I pen this voter turn out was sitting at 60.44% of all eligible voters. Let's just think of what it may have been if all those heavily armed people were wreaking havoc in the highly populated eastern oblasts of Ukraine. I have no doubt that number may have reached 67-72% of the eligible electorate. In Donetsk oblast only 12.04% of eligible voters were able to cast there ballots for a new and legitimate president.

Those stifiling the vote in Eastern Ukraine being three different types of individuals/groups. Firstly, they traitor/criminals who want to carve up the regional territory, this includes the douche bags like Tsariov and others elected to the Verkovna Rada. Though there are also the criminals who don't believe in the rule of law, and have no value for anything including life! Having had a few friends killed in Ukraine since independence it really doesn't surprise me how few valueless people live in Ukraine. The second group, are really those who shipped in to the region, just like in Crimea, by Moscovy – with top-of-the-line armaments and wearing the uniform of the Colorado Potato Beetle, in one simple little ribbon – which really means nothing but oppression to Ukrainians – regardless of the language they speak. The third group are the lazy good-for-nothings who have been brainwashed by Moscovy's propoganda, or are decendants of Russians suplanted in Ukraine after Stalin conducted his genocidal program against Ukraine and its people in 1932-33!

As in many elections before in Ukraine there were many, what are called technical candidates, though this seemed not to matter in any way at all. The most comical of these technical candidates where not those that were really as such, but which turned out to be a great slap in the face to the propoganda coming from Moscovy over the last six months!

'The hunta government of Kyiv is filled by fascists from the Right Sector and other fascists!”

All of Russia has been deprived of any type of independent media and this media has been the main source of information for many Russian speakers. The fear mongering from Moscow has been a seventy-year old story about people who fought for an independent Ukraine. They talk about Nazi-collaboraters. Yet according to some sources, the full report of the Nuremberg Trials were not publishes in their entirety by Moscow in order to discredit Ukrainian patriots.

There were a number of volumes which dealt with Nazi-collaborators which exonerated Ukrainians – members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists both of the Bandera and Melnyk factions, though these were never published in the USSR!

Unlike, in Moscovy over the last nearly quarter of a century many of Ukraine's youth have been exposed ot their history. From the Holodomor, to the valiant efforts of those who fought both against the Nazi's and the Red Army and those who simply wanted to destroy the Ukrainian nation. I have friends amonst that group - including the acting MFA of Ukraine Andriy Deschytsia, and former diplomat Bohdan Yaremenko whom I both have known since before Ukraine's independence. I know many others individuals who are competent and have to be engaged now, and not used by political parties and exploiters. Unfortunately, there were political parties that tried to use this last Maidan in such a manner – and the resuls reveal who they are!

Yes, I've digressed! Though exit polls show us is that the “rabid facists” have garnered a great deal fewer votes then the propoganda machine of Moscovy predicted.

Liar, Liar Pants on Fire

If you really believe the propoganda of RT – the “soft power” project of the Kremlin then let's take things one step further!

Today, Russia's first national televison program took their lies oe step further. Today, during a live broadcast and declared that the Right Sector presidential candidate Dmytro Yarosh had received 37% of the popular vote and the he had in fact won Ukrainian Presidential election.

Russian First National stating that Dmytro Yarosh won Ukraine's Presidential Election of May 25, 2014 with 37% of the popular vote![

This is so far from the truth that I have to wonder just how much is Tsar Putin going to try to continue his lies? Though this is not just directed to the world's newest dictator! I think that most of the independent media in the world to also understand the bullshit that you have been fed by Moscovy and even some of the big press agencies, who were never ready to tell the truth but to pull Moscovy's line. Calling those with Russian supplied armaments pro-Russian separatists, with gun-handling abilities that are only afforded to those with many years of military experience. In short, those media who have been misrepresenting what has really been going on in Crimea, and now in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts – forget it you are not jounalists but pawns of Mosovy!

When people are terrorized? What do you call those that terrorize them? Answer it yourselves!

I know that there are many journalists out on the line who can see this, but it is time for the editorial boards and management of media to start being honest! Unless of course the Kremlin has a controlling interest in your media.


All hoping for a new direction

One of the biggest problems in Ukraine in its nearly twenty-three years of independence has been the lack of reforms and following the rule-of-law. While they are still counting the votes I know Petro Poroshenko will be President. Though I have some questions to him as new leader and I hope he will do something to change it. Some journalists have been attacking him about divesting of his television company.

To a very great degree I can see where they are coming form, but they are being very narrow minded. Twenty years ago I spoke with young Ukrainian leaders and spoke to them about a number of pieces of legislation that would be a positive move towards a more demo-economic system. This included such things as anti-nepotism laws, conflict of interest laws, and transparency in all transactions. For Poroshenko to simply sell this media holding may in fact cause more problems then they can imagine without all the other legislation in Ukraine in place and being enforced.

Asking Poroshenko, or others who are politically involved under the current legislation of Ukraine to give up their control of any form of media would be a very dangerous and foolish step! Without the legislation in place that can properly contol many different problems in the sphere of press freedoms, conflict of interest, nepotism and other matters this would be detrimental to Ukraine's development.

Calling for a new generation

While Petro Poroshenko is not one without skeletons in his closet, I do have some reservations of the things I heard regarding much of the electoral campaign. Much of this was from people who would make statements that were very much along the lines used in Soviet times in order to discredit individuals.

This same method was used to vote for Petro Poroshenko. Why you ask? Many key intellectual persona would state – “He's a good person from the information I know!”

In this case, this was true – though Ukraine needs a total reformation and I hope that Poroshenko can make it happen.

In contemporary Ukrainian society it is just as easy as it was to disseminate a lie and a rumour during Soviet times. Say something to people in the metro or in a local watering hole and everyone will think you are either an informant for the FSB or CIA.. I know this form personal experience.. Thank you to an incopetent diplomat or someone on the payroll form Moscow from the EU.

However, a new generation must be built upon those who spent time working for Ukraine. There has to be revision of those who are trusted.

There has to be a review of what dual citizenship and privleges of those who want to build a nation has to function. Individuals who come into the country to discredit it should be arrested and eventually deported. We have a clear example of a sex-pat from the UK, who did nothing but look at Ukrainian women as those to exploit. We should all know who he is, and if you don't – ask here I'll you. However, I have a bit of a bias.

Mr President call on all specialists

Petro Oleksiyovych, we met once in passing in 2005 and I have pictures wth you. You know me from Adam, but I think I speak a great deal for many Ukrainians who grew up beyond Ukraine's borders. No one every really valued Ukrainians abroad! Do you? Do you care about how Ukrainians who are still Ukrainian citizens, and those who have been supporting Ukraine form as second and third generation Ukrainians? I hope you do!

You are very much aware of the unofficial anti-diaspora program that existed in order to ensure that transparency in business didn't exist in Ukraine. I personally understand this much better than many, I hope you can start ensuring business works on the basis of transperency.

I hope that this changes a great deal. I hope that young students, who are thoses who followed me in leadership positions in SUSK (Soiuz Ukrainskoho Studentsva Kanady). I was denied such opportunities because of the damn bureaucracy that existed and still exists – hiring incompetent idiots in Ukraine, and all the other, fucked up beauracracy that exists for individuals to invest in Ukraine.

I expect that you find a way to integrate Ukrainians from throughout the world who are top in their line and that the be conpensated for their speciality!

I know there are plenty of very qualified Ukrainians, though there is also a necessity to recompense those who have been screwed by other political leaders. I know many qualified indivduals in that sphere...

You have shown from what I have heard of paying employee's officially and not an envelope – time for all of Ukraine to work that way.

Dealing with Liar from Moscovy

It has become very clear that Moscovy has become a land of propogandistic lies. How should we be dealing with this? For the most part it will be the same way that the people of Ukraine have dealt with the lies and bull shit that thier polititions spew to them. While I was against Yanukovych's method's and non-judicial means of throwing Yulia Tymoshenko in prison, Ukrainians have clearly understood that her populusim was a lot of bullshit. I hope they from this day forward hold every politician from this day forth accountable for every single action they take.

Though the most important aspect of any democracy is the accountabilty of elected officials, and this being the case – the not yest president-elect has to introduce a bill which would eliminate the bullshit which has existed for the entire period of Ukraine's newly-found independence in 1991 – this concept of immunity of persecution of elected officials. That really has to be the first decision! With that decision – Ukraine will start to move forward – at least I an many others hope it will.

Once the rule of law is put into place and starts to function, then dealing with those liars to the northwest will be extremely easy. Petro Oleksiyovych – make these things happen. Find those who want to move as far away form Sovedepia as possible and help all Ukrainians to prosper. In doing so the motion will be set as an example and our neighbours will understand that this will come through a more liberal and all inclusive democracy, regardless of its limitations.

Today was not only a great day for Ukraine but for all the people in its neighbouring countries.

Yes, democracy is still not perfect, nor is capitalism for that matter, but if Ukrainians are open and extremely progressive – they will set a great number of examples for the entire planet. Particularly in the area of renewable resources – and in doing so giving Moscovy a good kick in the crotch for it's arcaic attitude of global affairs. If you understand where I'm coming from – there is no need for explanation. If you need an explanation – you are a simply a sovdep dinosaur and I could talk to you until I'm blue in the face – and that is not my desire! I've been doing this for the last quarter of a century!
