Where I live the scumbags in charge joined other NATO nutbags in those ridiculous sanctions. Then when the Russians made the counter-move costing us probably $100 million or more in exports, those idiots tell us that there´s no discount for international law. I just hope that they haven´t damaged trade with Russians permanently.

It´s amazing, we´ve always had great relations with the Russians and the Soviets and they throw it all away overnight to follow crazies that don´t give a flyin eff about us.

Kiev has a plan of rapid cleansing of Donbass

Sunday, January 24, 2016 - 15:23
Kiev has worked out a plan of rapid cleansing of Donbass; the only thing left to do is force Russia to withdraw its military. It was announced by Vitaly Malikov, the Head of the Anti-Terrorist Centre within the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), reports The Politnavigator.

We sure have enough forces. We have never been as strong as now. If we close the border, the rest will be no problem. The military, the Border Guards, the SBU and the National Guard, they have everything already worked out. We will do it without any problems, the only important thing is to make the Russians get out of there and not interfere.

According to Malikov, in Donbass there are about 8,500 Russian military engaged in forming the regular armies of the DPR and LPR, instructing volunteers, etc.

Putin Authorizes Gas Supply to Freezing Genichesk, Ukraine, After Kiev Cuts Off Own Citizens – Implications and Predictions!
https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2016/01/06/putin-authorizes-gas-supply-to-freezing-genichesk-ukraine-after-kiev-cuts-off-own-citizens-and-its-implications/

Quote
The city of Genichesk, pop. over 100,000, located in the long-suffering Kherson Oblast near the border with Crimea, has been living with very limited gas supply for weeks. Cooking and heat are gas-based in this region. But in the past several days gas pressure dropped precipitously in the pipes. While the weather in Ukraine was unseasonally warm in the past month, suddenly the brutal cold at -20 Celsius returned. That’s when gas all but disappeared; the citizens have been freezing for 3 days.

The Mayor of Genichesk tried in vain to contact the Ukraine gas suppliers, and when no one replied, he desperately tried to call everyone in the Kiev government, including Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk. Again no response.

The only reply came in the form of a mocking post of one of ‘Ukraine’s leaders’ on his Facebook page. The citizens of Genichesk were advised to warm themselves up by speaking Ukrainian and singing Ukrainian songs.

The mayor of Genichesk then turned to the country his own now proclaims to be Enemy #1 – Russia. He contacted the Crimean supplier, Chernomorneftegas (Чepнoмopнeфтeгaз) and asked them to send some gas from Crimea. Here is interview with Chernomorneftegas CEO re. the volume of gas supply to Genichesk – 20,000 cubic meters. He says that the volume is negligent for Crimea and won’t affect Crimean citizens: Чepнoмopнeфтeгaз нaзвaл oбъeмы пocтaвляeмoгo poccийcкoгo гaзa в yкpaинcкий Гeничecк.

...

The irony is that it is here, in Kherson Oblast and not far from Genichesk that Kiev ukro-nazis and Crimean Tartar Mejlis blew up strategic power lines in December, thus leaving the entire Crimea without power for weeks. Just a few days ago Crimean citizens in a poll said NO to further power supplies from Ukraine.

Now, Crimea gets all supplies it needs only from Russia. And yet, when asked for help from the Ukraine side, Crimeans said YES.

Corruption in Ukraine is so bad, a Nigerian prince would be embarrassed

By Josh Cohen December 30, 2015

United States Vice President Joe Biden has never been one to hold his tongue. He certainly didn’t in his recent trip to Kiev. In a speech before Ukraine’s Parliament, Biden told legislators that corruption was eating Ukraine “like a cancer,” and warned Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that Ukraine had “one more chance” to confront corruption before the United States cuts off aid.

Biden’s language was undiplomatic, but he’s right: Ukraine needs radical reforms to root out graft. After 18 months in power, Poroshenko still refuses to decisively confront corruption. It’s time for Poroshenko to either step up his fight against corruption — or step down if he won’t.

When it comes to Ukrainian corruption, the numbers speak for themselves. Over $12 billion per year disappears from the Ukrainian budget, according to an adviser to Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau. And in its most recent review of global graft, anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International ranked Ukraine 142 out of 174 countries on its Corruption Perceptions Index — below countries such as Uganda, Nicaragua and Nigeria. Ordinary Ukrainians also endure paying petty bribes in all areas of life. From vehicle registration, to getting their children into kindergarten, to obtaining needed medicine, everything connected to government has a price.

The worst corruption occurs at the nexus between business oligarchs and government officials. A small number of oligarchs control 70 percent of Ukraine’s economy, and over the years have captured and corrupted Ukraine’s political and judicial institutions. As a result, a “culture of impunity” was created, where politicians, judges, prosecutors and oligarchs collude in a corrupt system where everyone but the average citizen benefits.

While there are numerous examples of high-level corruption in Ukraine, a few stand out for their sheer brazenness. In one case, $1.8 billion of an IMF loan to Ukraine meant to support the banking system instead disappeared into various offshore accounts affiliated with PrivatBank in Ukraine, which is owned by Ihor Kolomoisky — one of Ukraine’s leading oligarchs.

Thanks to the anticorruption group Nashi Groshi (“Our Money”) the details have come to light. Forty-two Ukrainian import firms owned by 54 offshore entities borrowed $1.8 billion from PrivatBank. The offshore firms then used the IMF money to order goods from fictional “suppliers,” with the $1.8 billion in loans from PrivatBank secured by the goods on order.

However, when the fictional suppliers inevitably did not fulfill their end of the bargain, PrivatBank was left holding the bag with its $1.8 billion gone offshore. As a Nashi Groshi investigator noted, “this transaction of $1.8 billion abroad with the help of fake contracts was simply an asset siphoning operation.” Unfortunately for Ukrainians — as well as Western taxpayers who fund the IMF — neither Kolomoisky nor anyone else in Ukraine has been held accountable and the case faded from public view in Kiev.

Powerful politicians and businessmen in Ukraine can also count on Ukrainian officials to protect them from European prosecutors. After a two-year investigation, Swiss prosecutors recently opened a criminal case against Mykola Martynenko — a close Parliamentary ally of Ukrainian Prime Minister Arsenyi Yatsenyuk — for allegedly accepting a $30 million bribe through a Czech company and attempting to launder the money through Switzerland. However, despite repeated requests from the Swiss for assistance, Ukrainian officials are protecting Martynenko, according to a report in the Kyiv Post, and Ukraine’s prosecutor general publicly refuses to pursue the case.

Switzerland is not the only country with whom Ukraine declines to cooperate. As part of an investigation into suspicions that Ukraine’s former Minister of Ecology Mykola Zlochevsky laundered $23 million, Britain’s Serious Fraud Office requested assistance from Ukrainian authorities. However, Ukraine not only refuses to provide assistance to the British, but prosecutors actually wrote letters exonerating Zlochevsky, forcing the British to unfreeze Zlochevsky’s accounts and dismiss the case.

To contain rising populist sentiment and preserve Western support, Poroshenko should take the following steps:

First, Poroshenko needs to immediately fire current Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. The United States’ Ambassador to Ukraine recently called out Shokin’s office for “openly and aggressively undermining reform,” and leading reformers in Ukraine’s parliament and civil society continue to demand Shokin’s ouster.

Despite this pressure, though, Shokin remains in place. Since he is a close ally of Poroshenko, it’s not hard to see why. Poroshenko is himself a wealthy oligarch, and in a system where prosecutors are used as weapons against opponents in business or politics, Poroshenko remains determined to maintain control over this critical lever of power. However, while Poroshenko’s seeming motivations for protecting Shokin are understandable, it’s time for the Ukrainian president to place his country’s interests above his own.

Second, Poroshenko needs to sell all of the assets in his multi-billion dollar business empire. When campaigning for president last year Poroshenko promised to do just that, saying “As president of Ukraine, I only want to concern myself with the good of the country and that is what I will do.”

Poroshenko is the only one of Ukraine’s 10 richest people to see his net worth actually increase in the past year, and his bank continues to expand while others lose their licenses. One of his industrial companies also won a large shipbuilding contract — a clear conflict of interest with Poroshenko’s role as president.

Moreover, while no evidence exists that Poroshenko uses his position to promote his broader business interests, Ukrainian television recently reported that Poroshenko shut down an investigation into damage to a protected historical site stemming from illegal construction on land Poroshenko owns.

Third, Poroshenko must take a hands-on role in the war against corruption. While a new National Anti-Corruption Bureau and anti-corruption prosecutor are in place, they have not started work yet. Anti-corruption activists in Kiev fear both of these organizations will be “eaten by the system,” according to Daria Kaleniuk, executive director of the Anti-Corruption Action Center, a Ukrainian civil society organization. Poroshenko must provide these organizations with high-level political support to ensure this does not occur. With Ukraine’s citizens becoming angry and restless, one of Ukraine’s leading anti-graft watchdogs believes a third Maidan revolution may occur if the Ukrainian people don’t begin to see powerful people prosecuted and jailed.

Finally, Poroshenko should replace Yatsenyuk as Prime Minister. Although Yatsenyuk deserves great credit for pushing through painful economic and energy sector reforms — a task he proudly called “political suicide” — he sloughs off responsibility for fighting graft, noting that “I am not responsible for the prosecutor’s office… nor for judiciary.”  Yatsenyuk faces corruption investigations as well, which is not something Poroshenko needs from the second-most powerful official in the country.

To be clear, Ukraine has not completely ignored the fight against corruption. Besides the new National Anti-Corruption Bureau and anti-corruption prosecutor, government procurement tenders moved online and major civil service reform just passed. The key drivers of these measures, though, are not government officials or politicians — many of who fight these changes tooth and nail — but leading civil society organizations such as Transparency International and Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Action Center. These reformers demand radical change, and given the billions of dollars stolen each year by powerful people, they are doing so at great personal risk.

Poroshenko must join Ukraine’s reformers in pushing for this change — and if he refuses to do so, he should resign.

Nazi crap in Kiev has been sending their ilk to the Kherson region (which really should belong to Crimea) with predictable results

I have seen this tactic before, in Crimea. In the 1990s, the Tatar bandits used an eerily similar method to drive out the ethnic Russian and Ukrainian farmers out of their agricultural holdings (especially in the Belogorsky and the Krasnogvardeysky districts). I suspect that rather than the Aidar Nazis, it is the Tatar criminal elements which are behind these incidents.

Commander of the DNR army Basurin and OCSE observers came under sniper fire from Ukrainian forces near Kominternovo. The inspection group was en-route to inspect the site that Ukrainians shelled on the 24th of December:

Fighting never stopped in the Southern villages such as Kominternovo and Shirokino. It doesn't matter, as most of the inhabitants there have been evacuated to mainland Russia or to other parts of the DNR. Only a few elderly pensioners, who had refused to leave and the fighters from both the sides are staying there. I will be happy as long as the cities of Donetsk and Lugansk are not shelled.

The Russian government should file defamation suits against the producers of these fake documentaries. The last time I heard about instances like these were when Joseph Goebbels paid the German and Polish Jews to act in a few films, which depicted them in bad light. Anyway.... on a positive note, they paid a few unemployed Russian citizens a few thousand Rubles.

There´s no reason to ban ideologies. Besides, all political ideologies are abstractions they´re all at the experimental stage and have been for a mere couple centuries or so. There are no absolutes and won´t be for a long time to come. Just because something didn´t work so well in the past doesn´t mean that an improved execution couldn´t work in the future, at least for a while. Does western so called democracy increasingly look like some "new and improved" diet-fascism to you?

There are staggering revolutions ongoing in technology, information, productivity. These are gigantic waves that will continue rising. It´s difficult for political abstractions to keep pace I´m sure.

But you can be absolutely sure of one thing. Once a certain political system is in place it will be extremely interested in its own self-preservation. But again, the world is changing at a staggering rate, everything is basically in upheaval so maintaining some kind of status quo for ruling interests in political systems is probably a desperate struggle.
