A monstrous crime is being committed in Ukraine
right before the eyes of the world and the
western media is helping to cover it up and
distract the attention of the entire world from
the core fact that the events in Ukraine are not
a popular uprising but a carefully orchestrated
synthetic coup d’état brought about by long
entrenched western color revolution
infrastructure that was installed by US/NATO/EU
to bring about the illegal act of regime change
on the sovereign country of Ukraine.

The
unprecedented violent actions by the armed
insurgents, who openly use deadly force on law
enforcement and have set Kiev in flames,
attempting to overthrow the government by force,
are in fact treasonous crimes against the
Ukraine and the people of Ukraine as they are
being controlled from the outside and violate
all internationally accepted democratic
principles as well as all of the internal laws
and constitutionally dictated standards of
conduct enshrined in the Constitution of
Ukraine.
It is
illegal under international law for any country
to carry out measures to bring about the illegal
change of the government in any other sovereign
state, this includes support of any kind for
insurgent forces, the implementation of economic
and other measures to pressure the government to
step down or dissolve and all other instruments
and measures both covert and overt that may be
used to bring about what is now popularly called
"regime change" by the West and the US
Government.
International Law
Overthrowing governments and removing presidents
by force is illegal and covered in laws and
ruling by bodies such as the World Court and
even the International Criminal Court, which has
become a mere instrument of the West, however
the United Nations Charter is the most important
document and widely respected of all of these
instruments and one which all countries that
attempt to abide by international law attempt to
follow.
Under the
UN Charter all attempts by the US/NATO/EU to
influence the events in Ukraine so as to bring
about a resolution that conforms to their own
interests are illegal.
The debate
over US/NATO/EU meddling in Ukraine and the use
of US/NATO/EU military force, economic measures,
political pressure and all of the other "tools"
they use, including aggressive military attack
and occupation, to effect
regime changes
in countries such as Afghanistan, Cuba, Iraq,
Iran, Serbia, Venezuela, Ukraine, Yugoslavia,
Sudan and the other targeted countries, has
conveniently been absent of one key fact:
coercive, forced and outside regime change
violates
basic all of the accepted tenets of
international law.
UN Charter
According
to
Article 1 (2) of the UN Charterdeveloping
peaceful international relations based on the
"principle of equal rights and
self-determination of peoples" is one of the
founding principles of the United Nations, and
by default the UN Security Council. Therefore
any attempt by any country to subjugate or
pressure another into implementing measures or
carrying out an agenda not instigated from
within and not in keeping with the will of the
people is illegal. The "will of the people" can
only be known through referendums and democratic
political processes and debates, not through
fabricated pogroms in the streets, which the US
is expert at organizing. As for pressure on the
government, even the implementation of sanctions
is therefore illegal as this is done to pressure
a government from the outside.
It is
prohibited under international law to threaten
to use force and Article 2 (4) of the UN Charter
states this clearly and requires all UN member
states to respect the sovereignty, territorial
integrity and political independence of other
states. US/NATO/EU have not threatened military
force against Ukraine, as they already have
their ground force installed as they did in
Syria, Libya, etc. but this applies to other
countries they have invaded recently.
Article 2
(7) of the UN Charter states clearly that the
United Nations and its members have no authority
to intervene in matters which are within the
domestic jurisdiction of any state (sovereign
country). However the US/NATO/EU have gotten
around this by implementing and using what they
call the Responsibility to Protect. Uprisings
and violent demonstrations such as what is
happening in Ukraine fall within the definition
of domestic jurisdiction, therefore any outside
attempt to interfere is illegal.
Armed
Insurgents
What is
alarming in Ukraine is the violent and
militarized nature of what the West is endlessly
painting as a legitimate opposition. This
portrayal runs contrary to what the most of the
world is seeing right in front of their eyes on
their TV screens. Even multiple statements by US
officials themselves and a recently released
telephone conversation between US official
Victoria Nuland and the US Ambassador to
Ukraine, show that these are not members of a
legitimate internal opposition, but rather
radicalized, militarized, trained, planted,
funded and supported members of western "color
revolution" infrastructure.
The
US/NATO/EU continue to egregiously blame the
government and are criminally silent when the
opposition they support, and in fact planted,
murder members of the security forces and
policemen. The outright murder, kidnapping and
extreme violence against police and security
forces should be something that would cause an
outcry among police officers worldwide,
especially in the US, where their police are
given almost god-like reverence, yet the so
called "international community" and members of
the world’s law enforcement bodies are silent.
Nothing
that the insurgents have done would be supported
in any US/NATO/EU country or city, yet they
continue to call on, threaten and pressure the
authorities in Ukraine to not interfere or take
required measures. The violent insurgents have
made a mockery of law and order and have
literally set the capital of a civilized,
democratic European country on fire.
Storming,
seizing and burning down the buildings which
house the instruments and bodies of the state;
openly shooting, murdering, kidnapping and
falsely detaining members of law enforcement;
destroying and setting alight the property of
the state and the people; organizing the pogrom
we are seeing in Ukraine; violating the law and
acting against their own constitution;
blackmailing and threatening officials to step
down or be complaint and finally promoting
policies that are not in keeping with the
desires of the Ukrainian people, are all factual
aspects of the Ukrainian "opposition". So why is
US/NATO/EU openly supporting them?
Business
As Usual for US/NATO/EU
In my
journalistic work I have attempted to robustly
detail for years what US/NATO have been doing in
their redesigning of world’s geopolitical
landscape and I cannot repeat this enough, what
we are seeing in Ukraine is just another regime
change for the West. The tactics they use are
always the same, we have seen them and
documented them time and again and they continue
to be illegal and egregious. Yet they continue
with impunity.
All of the
regime change actions and provocations that
US/NATO/EU have used in Ukraine have been
documented and exposed before the fact, yet the
US president, EU leaders and their compliant
media continue to egregiously stick to their own
artificial pre-planned narrative.
The goal
was regime change because US/NATO/EU understood
that the Ukrainian Government and more
importantly the Ukrainian people would not allow
their country to be subverted and become yet
another US/NATO/EU client state. More
importantly this turn to Russia seriously
interferes with US/NATO/EU military plans to
base US/NATO missiles in Ukraine, evict the
Russian Black Sea Fleet and achieve their prime
military objective of neutralizing Russia and
eliminating Russia’s response to a first strike
nuclear attack, which at the end of the day is
the goal. The people of Ukraine and the organs
of government are just inconveniences for
US/NATO/EU and even if the country is completely
destroyed and divided, their goal will be
carried out. The destruction of the state of
Ukraine will in fact benefit the US/NATO/EU and
this fact we have seen repeatedly in the last 15
years.
Obama
Connects Syria and Ukraine
In comments related to a soon to
be released Voice of Russia interview Professor
Francis Boyle a professor of international law
at the University of Illinois College of Law
told me the following: "Obama
said that the people of the Ukraine should be
able to determine their own future just like the
people of Syria should be able to determine
their own future. So Obama himself linked the
two. The strategy is the same: regime change,
civil war, destruction of the State. So this
elevates the call by the State Department for a
transition to a government of technocrats to the
presidential level. The cat is out of the bag.
Regime Change of the democratically elected
government of Ukraine is openly admitted to be
USG policy. Even worse than Syria, whose
government was arguably not really democratic.
Nevertheless as I point out in my book, the
demand for regime change by one government
against another government is illegal and
violates the World Court's ruling against the
United States in the Nicaragua decision (1996)."
Media
Failure
The
western mass media continues to promote and
spread a phony slanted narrative of the events
in Ukraine and their attempts have been
formidable and almost impossible to counter.
This concerns mostly the nature and portrayal of
the police murdering opposition which, like the
cop killers in the Caucuses, the West portrays
as heroes and some sort of freedom fighters.
Again the
hypocrisy of the West in Ukraine is resounding
and completely obvious, yet they continue with
impunity. US illegality and their complete and
total disregard for international law continue
to stare the world in the face in Guantanamo and
worldwide, yet the compliant media has failed as
US illegality has now spread like a cancer to
include all NATO/EU countries.
It is
another black day for the world as we see that
the mass media has completely failed and been
corrupted in the West. All of the facts
surrounding the murderous insurgents in Ukraine
and their bloody uprising and the collusion of
the Central Intelligence Agency, US/NATO/EU and
the West are being conveniently ignored as the
subservient media chooses to attempt to go so
far as to blame Russia which has from day one
made it a point not to interfere.
Nowhere do
we see debates going on regarding: the over $50
billion the US has spent buying out Ukraine; the
admission by Victoria Nuland of US meddling in
her telephone conversation, during which she
implicated the head of the UN in US/NATO/EU
plans; the training and equipping of the
insurgents by US/NATO/EU; the fact that all
outside pressure and meddling is illegal nor the
fact that if anything similar happened in the
West it would in no way be allowed.
Wake Up
Call
They have
won and Ukraine has fallen. The President of
Ukraine has stated he will step down, which was
the first call by the US/NATO/EU, when the first
encampments appeared on Maidan Square. This was
their clear goal and even though we documented
it they have won. However what they have in fact
done is committed another crime on an
international scale.
Will
anyone answer for the crime of subversion and
for violating the sovereignty of Ukraine? Not
likely. Therefore this should be a serious wake
up call to all countries of the world, but will
it? Also not likely.
What is
striking in Ukraine was that it was a
democratically elected government, that all of
the US/NATO/EU plans were know from the start
and that it was still allowed to proceed.
Once
again, as we saw in Iraq, Libya and all other
countries where the governments have been
recently overthrown and the leader executed or
otherwise removed (with North Korea being the
perfect example) the only protection that any
country has from the imposition of US/NATO/EU
regime change is quite simply nuclear weapons.
US/NATO
Obama/Neo-Con Plans and Impunity
After 9-11
Neo-Con Paul Wolfowitz, the then US Deputy
Secretary of Defense stated that the US
Government is now in the business of destroying
countries, executing presidents and changing
governments at will.
General
Wesley Clark who was the Supreme Allied
Commander of NATO, took issue with the Neo-Con
architects from the Project for a New American
Century (LINK 5) and gave testimony that the US
planned to overthrow seven countries after 9/11:
Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and
Iran.
Mr. Clark
called the post 9-11 overtaking of the US
Government a coup
and said it was plotted by Dick Cheney, Don
Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and "a half dozen other
collaborators from the Project for the New
American Century". In a report Glen Greenwald
cites a US Secretary of Defense Memo which gave
even more detail and put a timeframe on the
plan:
"I just got this memo from the Secretary of
Defense’s office. It says we’re going to attack
and destroy the governments in 7 countries in
five years – we’re going to start with Iraq, and
then we’re going to move to Syria, Lebanon,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran."
Greenwald reported that General
Clark was shocked and wrote about the following
exchange:
"And we’ve got about 5 or 10 years to clean up
those old Soviet regimes – Syria, Iran [sic],
Iraq – before the next great superpower comes on
to challenge us." Clark said he was shocked by
Wolfowitz’s desires because, as Clark put it:
"the purpose of the military is to start wars
and change governments? It’s not to deter
conflicts?"." Clark said he was shocked by
Wolfowitz’s desires because, as Clark put it:
"the purpose of the military is to start wars
and change governments? It’s not to deter
conflicts?"
A New
Regime Would Be Illegal
Any regime
installed in any way other than trough
democratic elections in Ukraine and under the
current crisis will be illegal. President
Yanukovich despite being weak and some might
argue incompetent in maintaining stability in
his country, was democratically elected in
elections that were recognized by the entire
world. This is important to underline.
Even
though he was placed in a Catch 22 situation by
the West where if he cracked down he would be
demonized and if he did not he would be
overthrown, his handling of the internal crisis
leaves a lot of questions to be answered.
Timing of
Ukrainian Coup
It is also
important to note the similarities between the
timing of the events in Ukraine and the invasion
by Georgia of South OssetiaBoth taking place
during Olympics and again the words of Neo-Con
Paul Wolfowitz: "… we’ve got about 5 or 10 years
to clean up those old Soviet regimes before the
next great superpower comes on to challenge us."
Ukraine is
the crowning jewel and it looks like they will
obtain it.
