RUSSIA/UKRAINE

Ukrainian crisis and history of false flags masterminded by US that gone terribly wrong

 What really happened in the Trade Unions House in Odessa on May 2? The new authorities in Kiev claim that a clash between anti- and pro-Russians degenerated and 38 people were killed in a fire. But the available photos and footage tell a different story.
Witnesses say that killers used some kind of gas. Probably that’s the reason why they didn’t struggle. And they say there were over 100 dead bodies. Those were hidden in the basement and taken out later.We will never know how many people lost their life that day.
 
 

“The Russians are coming … again … and they’re still ten feet tall!”

 President Obama recently declared: “The strong condemnation that it’s received from around the world indicates the degree to which Russia is on the wrong side of history on this.” Marvelous … coming from the man who partners with jihadists and Nazis and has waged war against seven nations

 
 
 

Dear Mr. Putin…

Americans see the fire and smoke in Odessa and we know that our government is lying. We know the truth about our government; it is not a government of all. It is a vampire called empire. It has an insatiable thirst. We Americans are already being ravaged by the fire and the smoke of our empire

The Kiev Putsch: Rebel Workers Take Power in the East

The Kiev Putsch: The struggle in the Ukraine is not between the US and Russia, it is between a NATO-imposed junta composed of neo-liberal oligarchs and fascists on one side and the industrial workers and their local militias and democratic councils on the other.  The former defends and obeys the IMF and Washington; the latter relies on the productive capacity of local industry and rules by responding to the majority. What is clear is that the power grab in Kiev will not result in a ‘knife pointed at the heartland of Russia’

 

Spinning the Odessa Massacre

Unable to spin the Odessa massacre carried out by the very ultra-right Neo-Nazi mobs that propelled the current unelected regime into power, both the West’s media machine and its politicians have attempted to remain as ambiguous as possible regarding the recent brutality resulting from what Kiev calls “anti-terror” operations.

 

 

Is Putin Being Lured Into a Trap?

Russia is not responsible for the crisis in Ukraine. The US State Department engineered the fascist-backed coup that toppled Ukraine’s democratically-elected president Viktor Yanukovych and replaced him with the American puppet Arseniy Yatsenyuk, a former banker. Hacked phone calls reveal the critical role that Washington played in orchestrating the putsch and selecting the coup’s leaders.
