About propaganda... One of Lada's readers and contributors, Paul, made a good cooment in the following article:
https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2015/05/06/6039/The West, especially the US and Canada, have taken in a large number of anti-Communist or anti-Russian immigrants. They were groomed for going back and taking over, which is what happened in the Ukraine, and somewhat happened in other countries.
In addition, propaganda and mind control have made tremendous strides since WWII. But I suspect a big problem in the Ukraine that is fairly serious in the West as well is that decent people feel it is helpless. Good people get shot or set up, and the scum rises to the top. So people in Novorossiya stayed out of politics or cultural affairs, and all that was left was the professionals of the Soros type. And there was no outside force creating decent or pro-Russian politicians or groups.
To which Lada replied:
Perfect summary, Paul. Exactly what happened.
Another thing that happened is that stronger leaders and better thinkers left that artificial country giving up on it, as discussed in Oligarch Wars. They were leaving for the past 25 years, moving to Moscow or to US and EU, or even Pridnestrovie. Those who were still left by 2013 were chased out or killed by 2015. Who is left? Good question…
At the same time, sometimes it’s necessary to let the masses experience hardship and see for themselves what happens if they give up and if they expect someone else to solve their problems. This is what tests the true spirit of the people and makes them wake up.
Ukraine will be the most interesting case study of this decade and beyond; it’ll help teach the rest of humans what to do and what to never do. By mid-20s there will be no country called Ukraine – it will be called something else. And people there will start breathing easier. They will recall their roots and completely change direction. Ironically, they will have US, Canada, EU and Poland to thank for their awakening because in 3D reality some people can only understand the good by comparing it to the bad – by contrast.
You know, the usually pretty valuable real estate in Odessa fell in value by 2-3 times since maidan. And tourists from Russia, US and Israel stopped coming. They are only expecting western Ukraine tourists this year, who are the only ones to have money to spend from Western grants, payoffs and ATO ops/robbing Donbass.
Irony? Disaster -and the price for being asleep for the past 20 odd years.
Meanwhile in Moscow, the Parade commemorating 70 years of victory over Nazism was a success. The only glaring absence was that of Merkel - her absence spoke louder than any words about hers and her American masters attitude towards Nazism.
Oh, and if "Barak does not come to the Parade, then Parade will come to Barak". An action, projecting parade onto the wall of White House:

Like that idiot said, nobody reads it so what´s he so miffed about. Must be that special early May time of mourning. 
Either way, I'm out.
