Ukraine’s Prime Minister Yatsenyuk Declares War on Russia
Eric Zuesse
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who on 4 February 2014 was selected for his post by Victoria Nuland of the U.S. State Department, was quoted by Ukrainian media on Thursday March 12th of 2015 as saying that, “Ukraine is in a state of war with a nuclear state, which is the Russian Federation. Hostile countries over the past decade have spent billions of dollars rearming it.”
His quoted statement went on to blame Ukraine’s problems on Russia: “The country [Ukraine] is billions of dollars in debt, having been a corrupt and demoralized nation that has no gas in storage and no dollars to buy it. … [Russia] destroyed 20% of Ukraine’s economy, bombed the mines in the fighting, and produced a million displaced persons, who, as a result are forced to leave their homes.” [NOTE: Those bombs, some of which were firebombs, actually fell from Ukrainian Air Force planes, and were supplemented by Ukrainian Army missiles. The resident forces in the rebel area of the southeast that the Ukrainian Government is fighting against had no air force at all until recently, and very little even now. And, of course, any “rearming” of Russia is being done by Russia, not by “Hostile countries over the past decade.”]
USA Today Reveals Ukrainian Forces Include Nazis
by Stephen Lendman
Ukraine is a US-installed hotbed of Nazi extremism - a scourge in Europe's heartland. It threatens continental peace. Numerous articles by this writer and others explained Obama replaced Ukrainian democrats with fascist thugs. He installed mob rule by coup d'etat in February 2014. Media scoundrels call them democrats. They combine police state repression with neoliberal harshness, massive corruption and war on their own citizens.
USA Today partly acknowledged what other presstitutes entirely ignore. Instead of explaining illegitimate US-installed fascists run Ukraine, it only discussed what it called "(a) volunteer brigade with self-proclaimed Nazis fighting alongside government troops against Russian-backed separatists."
Azov Brigade in USA Today's report is the tip of the iceberg. Other Nazi government forces, volunteer ones, cutthroat mercenaries and fascist government officials infest Ukraine.
Japan's Orwellian Politics About Ukraine To Oppose Far-Right Is Labeled ‘Far-Right'
By Eric Zuesse
To Oppose Far-Right Is Labeled ‘Far-Right'
Japanese politicians get called ‘far-right’ for opposing America’s empowering nazism In Ukraine, and for opposing Japan’s nationalist leader, Shinzo Abe.
Former Japanese Prime Minister tells Crimeans: "It's shameful that information from Japanese and Western media is one-sided.”
Yukio Hatayama, who during 2009 and 2010 had been the first and only non-LDP, or non-one-party-state, Prime Minister of Japan (and he was then quickly ousted by the LDP), said in Crimea on Tuesday, March 10th, that Japan should not be so totally controlled by the U.S. Government, and that, "It's shameful that information from Japanese and Western media is one-sided.” Hatayama also praised “the happy, peaceful life in Crimea,” as opposed to the war-torn and economically collapsing Ukraine, which the IMF, EU and especially the U.S., keep lending money to pay Ukraine to bomb the residents in Ukraine’s strongly anti-fascist eastern area.
Fascism: Humanity's Scourge
by Stephen Lendman
It gave us Hitler and Mussolini. Today it's headquartered in Washington - with global client states run by puppets serving US interests.
Subservient Western countries recklessly support America’s imperial agenda. Fascist regimes combine perpetual wars with corporate empowerment, massive corruption and police state harshness.
Ukraine is in the eye of the storm. It's a cancer in Europe's heartland. It's terrorizing millions of Ukrainians deserving better. It risks potentially catastrophic European war.
Last year, Donbass residents rebelled. They reject fascist viciousness. They want democratic freedoms everyone deserves.
They merit universal support. Obama wants them crushed, eliminated altogether - mass slaughtered and destroyed or ethnically cleansed.
Full-scale war could resume any time. Millions of people are at risk. Regional devastation already is the greatest since WW II.
Imagine how much worse if fascists launch total war. Obama's neocon infested administration bears full responsibility. Rogue EU partners share it.
The ECB’s Noose Around Greece: How Central Banks Harness Governments
by Ellen Brown
Remember when the infamous Goldman Sachs delivered a thinly-veiled threat to the Greek Parliament in December, warning them to elect a pro-austerity prime minister or risk having central bank liquidity cut off to their banks? (See January 6th post here.) It seems the European Central Bank (headed by Mario Draghi, former managing director of Goldman Sachs International) has now made good on the threat.
The week after the leftwing Syriza candidate Alexis Tsipras was sworn in as prime minister, the ECB announced that it would no longer accept Greek government bonds and government-guaranteed debts as collateral for central bank loans to Greek banks. The banks were reduced to getting their central bank liquidity through “Emergency Liquidity Assistance” (ELA), which is at high interest rates and can also be terminated by the ECB at will.
Ukraine on the Boil: Washington Prepares for Greater War
by Stephen Lendman
Ukraine is an American colony - a client state run by US-installed Nazi thugs in Europe's heartland. It's a weapon targeting Russia.
Vicious propaganda blames Moscow irresponsibly for US/Kiev high crimes. Minsk failed. Low-intensity conflict continues - heading for resumed full-flown war at Washington's discretion.
On Tuesday, Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) spokesman Eduard Basurin was blunt saying:
Since both sides agreed to Minsk ceasefire terms on February 12, "the number of episodes of targeted shelling of our positions by Ukrainian troops has exceeded 400."
Fascist Republican Senators Threaten Iran
by Stephen Lendman
Lunatics infesting Washington make their own rules - made up to suit their warped objectives. On March 9, 47 fascist Republican senators addressed "An Open Letter to the Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
They acted recklessly like Netanyahu. The intervened directly into (multi-nation) P5+1 talks.
They warned any deal Obama negotiates without legislative approval may be reversed by the next president "with a stroke of a pen."
Washington's hate-mongering crowd wants possible rapprochement with Iran sabotaged. They want permanent wars, not peace. They want Israel's reckless agenda served.
Why is it that no one is paying attention to Adolph Lieberman?
By Khalid Amayreh in Occupied Palestine
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has been indulging in Nazi-like incitement against Palestinians, with a call for those objecting to Israeli policies, particularly the ongoing violent ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, to have their heads chopped off.
“Anyone who’s with us should be given everything – up to half the kingdom. Anyone who’s against us, there’s nothing to do – we should raise an axe and cut off his head; otherwise we won’t survive here,” Lieberman reportedly said at an election event this week, in reference to Palestinian citizens of Israel.
US Saber-Rattling on Russia's Borders
by Stephen Lendman
Washington keeps upping the stakes for direct confrontation with Russia. It risks unthinkable nuclear war.
Rogue states operate this way. America is by far the worst. Incorporating former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact countries into NATO represents a major threat to Russia's security.
Surrounding it with US bases heads things toward possible conflict. America's relentless push east may launch WW III - like Hitler's land grabs began WW II in September 1939.
Thousands of US boots on the ground, tanks and other military hardware in Latvia represent Obama's latest affront - another provocation daring Russia to respond.
Obama Declares Venezuelan Democracy a Threat to US National Security
by Stephen Lendman
Obama finds new ways to disgrace the office he holds. He gives rogue state governance new meaning.
TeleSUR reported Obama committed "aggression" against Venezuelan sovereign independence. Its model democracy is the hemisphere's best.
It shames America's sham system. Elections when held are farcical - with no legitimacy whatever.
Duopoly power rules. It's totally beholden to monied interests - Wall Street and other corporate crooks. What they say goes.
