CIA BLOWBACK IN UKRAINE: NEW TREATY WITH RUSSIA

The Times (UK) confirmed the umpteenth CIA 'blowback' again: "Ukraine’s Parliament descended into chaos today as smoke bombs were set off and eggs thrown at the Speaker in opposition protests against a new treaty with Russia." The CIA/NED lost.

Henk Ruyssenaars - Journalist

April 27th 2010 - In the Ukrainian Parliament at was a protest over a Russian treaty: "allowing Russia to retain its naval base at Sevastopol," as the demonstrators said. The parliament speaker, Volodymr Lytvyn, was forced to take cover under an umbrella, as eggs and other things were thrown.

Clouds of smoke filled the chamber and deputies fought each other in the aisles ahead of a critical vote to ratify an agreement allowing Russia’s Black Sea Fleet to remain in Ukraine until the middle of the century.

The Speaker, Volodymr Lytvyn, was forced to hide under two black umbrellas held up by aides as opposition deputies hurled eggs at him in a bid to disrupt the proceedings. Alarms went off when two smoke bombs were thrown, but deputies continued to debate the treaty even as the chamber filled with fumes.

Despite the protests, 236 deputies in the 450-seat Rada voted to ratify the treaty, allowing Russia to retain its naval base at Sevastopol in Crimea for up to 30 years after its current lease expires in 2017. The deal was signed by Ukraine’s pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych during a visit by his Kremlin counterpart Dmitri Medvedev to Kharkiv last week." - [end excerpt] - Times Online - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/2vyh7x6

John Giles wrote among others about this: "Ordinary Ukrainians are reeling from the impact of rising gas prices, not least because the policies of the previous administration have allowed the Ukrainian currency to halve in value, effectively doubling prices of gas and other imports priced in dollars.

The agreement is hated by the nationalist extremists as it shows that the Russians are better friends to ordinary Ukrainians than the USA, who only stirred up trouble by funding the now discredited Orange Revolution." - [end quote]*

And, like in most countries, Greece, Iceland or now in Hungary again, reality is always different from what the mainstream media globally tries to make people believe. The fact is that the criminal cartel's armed errand boys from the CIA and the NED, plus their fake NGO's and so-called color revolutions, found themselves confronted with another blowback. People really are fed up with the scheming of this clique: they people are through with all the dying and suffering.

In August 2006 I did a story - with quite interesting links below - on the CIA/NED orchestrated so called 'Orange revolution,' the faked election in Ukraine. And today it showed again that a majority of the people in Ukraine doesn't want the raw US/UK cartel's global capitalism and inhuman rule shoved down their throats.

Also: the common sense and human Ukrainians do not want to kill and be killed like cannon-fodder as so-called NATO-peacekeepers, being part of the global geopolitical 'game' resulting in power and profit for the criminal cartel only. They too do not want to suffer this pest of an usury-system. And thus voted against it. No more CIA/NED 'Orange Revolution' for them apparently.

For those who don't know yet how for instance the NED works in other countries they are trying to usurp for the criminal cartel; it's what author William Blum calls a 'Trojan Horse': "The National Endowment for Democracy" - excerpted from the book 'Rogue State - A Guide to the World's Only Superpower.' - Url.: http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Blum/TrojanHorse_RS.html

The Chinese information agency Xinhua pointed out, that the pro-Russian Viktor Yanukovich lead shrank in the Ukrainian presidential run-off, but anyhow saw the victory of pro-Moscow Yanukovich coming. Unless the criminal cartel pulls some last trick out of the CIA/NED hat. Below the Xinhua story is what I wrote earlier about how the election in 2006 went, and it's more or less the same now: an ongoing blowback for the CIA/NED 'spooks' again.

KIEV, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) - Ukrainian opposition leader Viktor Yanukovich's lead in Sunday's presidential run-off has shrunken to 2.82 percentage points, with 86.66 percent of the ballots counted, according to results published by the Ukraine Central Election Committee (CEC) Monday morning.

Yanukovich, a 59-year-old former prime minister, won 48.58 percent of the vote, while incumbent Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was supported by 45.76 percent of the voters. Earlier in the day, Yanukovich enjoyed a lead of over 4 percentage points.

Yanukovich, favored by exit polls as the winner of the election, appeared ready to take victory. He said on TV Sunday night that Tymoshenko could start to prepare for her resignation from the post of prime minister. "I think that Yulia Vladimirovna (Tymoshenko) should be preparing for resignation. She understands this well. In any case I think that such an offer will be made to her," he said.

If elected, Yanukovich will become the country's fourth president since the former Soviet Union republic won independence in 1991. Tymoshenko's camp, however, has refused to concede defeat based on the exit poll results. The CEC Deputy Chairman Andriy Mahera told a briefing on Sunday that the commission has deemed the Feb. 7 presidential election valid. A probability of a tie is 0.01 percent, he added.

The CEC has not received information on serious irregularities during the second round of the Ukrainian presidential election, he said." - [and end] - Url.: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/world/2010-02/08/c_13167949.htm

This is what we have to watch, because this is where problems can erupt, depending on how big the difference in votes has become: the pro-west, in Poland situated 'Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights':

"International observers to hold press conference in Kyiv on Monday.

KYIV, 5 February 2010 - The International Election Observation Mission for the presidential election in Ukraine will present its preliminary post-election statement at a news conference on Monday, 8 February, in Kyiv. The mission is a joint undertaking of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR), the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA), the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), the European Parliament (EP) and the NATO Parliamentary Assembly (NATO PA).

The preliminary statement will be delivered by Joao Soares, OSCE PA President and Special Co-ordinator of the OSCE short-term observers, followed by Matyas Eoersi, Head of the PACE delegation, Assen Agov, Head of the NATO PA delegation, Pawel Kowal, Head of the EP delegation, and Heidi Tagliavini, Head of the OSCE/ODIHR long-term election observation mission.

The International Election Observation Mission comprises a total of 650 observers from 45 countries, including more than 500 long-term and short-term observers deployed by the OSCE/ODIHR, as well as 69 parliamentarians and staff from the OSCE PA, 37 from the PACE, 16 from the NATO PA, and 13 from the EP." - [and end] - Url.: http://www.osce.org/odihr/item_1_42656.html

Mind you: all of the above organizations, OSCE, NATO PA, or the European Parliament-members: they are all paid by the same firm, the same global cartel.

"The American Conservative" saw the CIA/NED-made 'color revolutions' - and what happened in Ukraine - like this: "The fake “revolution” must be associated with newness, trendiness, youth and the hip youngsters who are making it happen (we saw this especially in the stage-managed Ukrainian mob tactics during the winter), so that an insignificant political demonstration in a country that does not ban, though it does restrict, freedom of assembly is taken as some kind of bold, Arab hippie march against the forces of the old and corrupt powers that be.

“Woodstock” is even invoked by Mr. Osnos, if you can believe the silliness of it, and the stage-managed, planned tent city that invaded the heart of Kiev in December has a meager, smaller imitation forming up in the center of Beirut." - [end quote] - Url.: http://www.amconmag.com/larison/2005/03/03/another-fill-in-the-blank-revolution/

That's how it looks now, and this is how it looked in 2006: the CIA/NED funded and faked everything, but in this beginning blowback lost in Ukraine too:

"The 'Project for a New American Century' is sinking so fast, that only the blood besmirched US flag is still visible above the growing waves of intense contempt. Within six years the US 'management' and the criminal cartel's war machine has been unveiled: the blood of it's victims has totally washed away the façade.

CIA 'REVOLUTION' IN UKRAINE FAILS TOO

FPF - Europe - August 3, 2006 - To make a long story short: the 'US Empire' lost early this morning an earlier usurped and strategically very important rich country the size of France, with fifty million inhabitants, to the Russian Empire which still is convinced that Ukraine is an important part of it. On the front pages of the global 'news' c.q. propaganda papers today, the for 'the crazies' in Washington bad news is 'adjusted', or, as the PNAC paper the International Herald Tribune phrased it: an enemy of the US has been nominated in Ukraine.*

Power and profit is back in Moscow's Kremlin, and the US 'project managers' lost this one too. Including the influence over the strategically very important 'Russian' part of the Caspian sea.

One should not forget this however, when last July Russia and the US met: "In the continuation of the task to heal the bonds which had been disrupted by the Bush administration, Obama has recently visited Russia to add them to his list of compliant helpers. Within his time there he emphasised the similarities in their interests carefully highlighting only issues which they both agree upon. Such as not only reducing their nuclear arsenal but also of other countries amassing nuclear weapons of their own, such as North Korea and in the Middle East, stating: "we should be united in opposing North Korea's efforts to become a nuclear power, and preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon."

As with many other European countries Obama also called for Russia to have more involvement in its war in Afghanistan and Pakistan. In the name of fighting extremism Obama stated: "Instead, we want to work with international partners to help Afghans and Pakistanis advance their own security and prosperity. That is why I'm pleased that Russia has agreed to allow the United States to supply our coalition forces through your territory."" - [end quote] - Url.: http://www.khilafah.com/index.php/comment/6950-us-russia-summit-dividing-the-spoils

Internationally the signs are seen. As clearly as the US/Israeli bombs raining on Lebanon - that it's not only in Afghanistan, Iraq,* Lebanon and many other countries the US/UK/Israeli war machine is under attack and losing. Russia - as one of the global opposition forces and resistance - drew a line in the sand after the faked 'election' in Ukraine in 2004 for Washington's CIA man Victor Yushenko. The fact that his wife, Kathy, is American, works for the PNAC and has worked for Reagan and the CIA etc. was - and is - hardly ever mentioned. - Google Url.: http://tinyurl.com/y8lsuls

Have a look at this story and look at the video too: "US planted moles inside foreign governments" - Source: World Future - Url.: http://wfol.tv/editorial/662-us-planted-moles-inside-foreign-governments-.html

By the US National Security Agency (NSA), the CIA, fake NGO's etc. mostly via the US Embassy, USAID etc. funded 'movements' in Ukraine, are the 'PORA People's Party', Yulia Tymoshenko's Bloc, 'Our Ukraine' and probably the 'Ukrainian People's Party'. - The CIA paid PORA group, now wants the newly elected parliament to disband and new (fixed) elections to be held in Ukraine. They still don't understand what can happen to them: in both the US and Russia there are Gulags. With the same malignant 'masters' than as now. And Holocaust in Ukraine is called Holodomor.*

THE FIGHT FOR POWER IS EASY TO EXPLAIN

The US management's inhumane 'Might makes Right' drive for global hegemony is - like the other's - 'only' a fight for power and profit. Around the world already for centuries being fought with armed forces under any fake flag, religion, name or logo, and all connected to secret services and psychological- and 'false flag'-operation units. Including all the war-advocating media megaphones, which are used and abused for propaganda in most countries of the world.

China - which by canceling US loans can declare the US still more bankrupt today - leaves this until further notice - or geopolitical need - to the present management of the 'Russian Empire' under former secret service 'KGB' top man Vladimir Putin, as autocratic President. Who - even more than most people in the world - also is totally fed up with the threat of the American/Israeli PNAC idea, and some years ago decided to stop the predators which are trying to steal part of Russia's loot.*

When the CIA for the umpteenth time managed to fund and stage a so called 'popular revolution' - this one in Ukraine - most international observers were wondering: can the US 'spooks' pull this one off too? Well... no, it didn't work here either, even if hundreds of millions of US tax dollars were squandered about which the taxpayers are never informed: it's all 'secret'.

THE CIA'S FAKE 'ORANGE REVOLUTION'

The US defeat was early this morning confirmed by the 'front man' - president Viktor Yushchenko of Ukraine, whom the US put on the throne. But alas, and as expected, the 'CIA man' lost to a majority fighting his PNAC rule, and he is now forced to accept 'enemy' Yanukovich as Prime minister. And this PM is his pro-Russian opponent, who was robbed of his election victory by the CIA's fake 'Orange Revolution'. He is a Moscow-backed 'Politruk' and Kommissar, who is looking for revenge. This is 'only' another Russian geopolitical step, one of many taking advantage of the fact that the United States is going down on it's knees.

In Ukraine, since last March 26 parliamentary elections where Yushenko's party only got 14 percent of the votes - and the CIA and collaborating 'spooks' really tried everything - more than four months of political stalemate and 'cloak and dagger' followed, in which the 'crazies' in Washington - via every possible channel - tried to stop Russia from taking back Ukraine.

''Being forced to accept Yanukovich as prime minister - he was openly supported by Russia during the scandal-tainted 2004 elections - would undermine Yushchenko's efforts to guide Ukraine closer toward political and economic ties with Europe, rather than Russia.'' the PNAC's Herald Tribune writes today.*

THE USUAL HERALD TRIBUNE'S PNAC NEWSPEAK

What they in between the lines are admitting, is that in the political fight for this profitable country - strategically very important in connection with the Caspian Sea, war harbors and oil and gas pipelines - the US lost the possibility to reconfigure it's empire. The chance is gone to use more brainwashed cannon-fodder as so called UN or 'NATO peace troops', kiling to defend US interests, or to bleed Ukraine like the other colonies within the European Union. The 'Rien ne va plus' was announced long before, but the crusading 'crazies' apparently vegetate in some other inhuman universe, an alien world where reason, compassion, decency, human behavior or logic are non-existing.

However: not Washington's PNAC mafia, nor the foreign managers of the European Union among the 'London War Lords' are amused, it is understood. This means that their propaganda press proceeds with the usual lies, smear and slander concerning all and everything connected to Russia, Russian president Putin [anno 2010 it's Medvedev] and the people in Ukraine; all between heaven and hell will be done to cover and belittle the American defeat and loss of another country.

It also means that the desperate last ditch effort by Yushenko, the CIA's former 'president of Ukraine' most probably will disappear in the global 'memory hole'.

Because beaten 'president' Yushenko tried - until the early morning hours - to get the parliamentary opposition parties to sign his PNAC master's documents, selling Ukraine and its people.

A 'Pact with the Devil' apparently, stating and confirming that Ukraine will follow the US PNAC policy too; with NATO's killing scenario and totalitarian London made EU rules, including low wage slave labor and inhuman tax laws.

"Unfortunately, the pact has not been signed," U.S. stooge Yushchenko had to admit.

NO NORMAL HUMAN BEING WONDERED WHY.

BLOWBACK: SOROS AND THE CIA CRASH IN KYRGYZSTAN

This is a black 'blowback' day for the criminal cartel's war machine, which relies heavily on it's Manas base there. Not only for the transfer of armed 'errand boys' aka 'troops' for the illegal occupation, but also for Big Pharma's billion dollar drug industry in Afghanistan.* To make matters worse: apart from their Kant base, Moscow also wants a second base.

Henk Ruyssenaars

April 8th 2010 - Five years after the global criminal cartel* via their front; the U.S. administration and with armed 'gofers' from the NSA/CIA and their 'Tulip Revolution' - with war criminal and speculator George Soros financing a lot - their 'president' Bakiyev was deposed the same way as he came to power: in a bloody uprising.* Bakiyev by the way - who now has fled - symbolically named the building where his totalitarian adminstration was seated on it's bloody throne the same as in Washington: the 'White House.' Usurped by the criminal cartel here as there...

The battle among those gory and Gargantuan giants, has as always absolutely nothing to do with human beings. They are - in the eyes of the profiteers - only 'colletaral damage.' This is about power and profit from the wars and the drugs.

The latest US TIME magazine: "In a March 5 interview with TIME, an Obama Administration senior official said it had been a close call for the U.S. "That we have the Manas base in Kyrgyzstan is a great achievement," he said. "Russia didn't want to allow us to have that. They put down $2 billion to get us out. But Obama had very frank discussions with [Russian President Dmitri] Medvedev.

He said, If you believe we have a common enemy in Afghanistan, then this is going to help us fight that common enemy. Had we lost that, it would have been a major blow. It is a major hub for getting our soldiers in and out of there." - [end quote]*

It's all a battle about power and profit for the war criminals in Central Asia, and Al Jazeera* - which years ago turned into a propaganda broadcaster for the cartel's war machine, justifying more or less the illegal invasions - writes today about the Kyrgyz opposition which 'seizes power' - and because al Jazeera is advocating the cartel - it's written in brackets:

Kyrgyz opposition 'seizes power'

Opposition leaders in Kyrgyzstan say they have seized power after taking control of security headquarters, state television and other government buildings following a day of deadly unrest. "The security service and the interior ministry, all of them are already under the management of new people," Rosa Otunbayeva, a former foreign minister, told the Russian-language Mir TV channel on Thursday.

The opposition claim came after Kurmanbek Bakiyev, the president, fled the capital Bishkek amid violent clashes between anti-government protesters and riot police on Wednesday. Reports said that Bakiyev is currently in the southern city of Osh." - [end quote]*

But Soros' role in the criminal cartel's 'Tulip Revolution' disaster is evident. Website encyclopedia Wikipedia - which also is managed by Soros' 'Brethren in the Faith' - writes this about him:

"George Soros (pronounced /ˈsɔroʊs/ or /ˈsɔrəs/,[3] Hungarian IPA: [ˈʃoroʃ]; born August 12, 1930, as Schwartz György) is a Hungarian-American currency speculator, stock investor, businessman, philanthropist, and political activist. The [jewish] family changed its name in 1936 from Schwartz to Soros, in response to growing anti-semitism with the rise of Fascism."*

Soros, who is part and parcel of the criminal actions globally going on, is always up-front, albeit often 'covered'. Soros, like the rest of those humanoids, makes money out off the blood, sweat and tears of human beings everywhere.

The treacherous 'Soros Foundation' - which through those so called 'colored revolutions' only 'helps' itself, the CIA and the criminal cartel - also had an official office at 55A, Logvinenko St. in Bishkek, 720040, Kyrgyzstan. - Url.: http://www.soros.kg/?lang=en

You can imagine what Soros and his collaborators did to these 5 million people too. No wonder the Soros collaborators are silent now... And run...

The best analysis of the situation in Kyrgyzstan - and the general battle for power and profit in Central Asia - appeared today in Australia.to News, and is written by Rick Rozoff:

'KYRGYZSTAN AND THE BATTLE FOR CENTRAL ASIA"

Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev was deposed five years after and in the same manner as he came to power, in a bloody uprising. Elected president two months after the so-called Tulip Revolution of 2005 he helped engineer, he was since then head of state of the main transit nation for the U.S. and NATO war in Afghanistan.

The Pentagon secured the Manas Air Base (as of last year known as the Transit Center at Manas) in Kyrgyzstan shortly after its invasion of Afghanistan in October of 2001 and in the interim, according to a U.S. armed forces publication last June, "More than 170,000 coalition personnel passed through the base on their way in or out of Afghanistan, and Manas was the transit point for 5,000 tons of cargo, including spare parts and equipment, uniforms and various items to support personnel and mission needs. "Currently, around 1,000 U.S. troops, along with a few hundred from Spain and France, are assigned to the base." [1]

The White House's Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke paid his first visit in his current position to Kyrgyzstan - and the three other former Soviet Central Asian republics which border it, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan - in February and said "35,000 US troops were transiting each month on their way in and out of Afghanistan." [2] At the rate he mentioned, 420,000 troops annually.

The U.S. and NATO also established military bases in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan for the war in South Asia, but on a smaller scale. (U.S. military forces were ordered out of the second country following what the government claimed was a Tulip Revolution-type armed uprising in its province of Andijan less than two months after the Kyrgyz precedent. Germany maintains a base near the Uzbek city of Termez to transit troops and military equipment to Afghanistan's Kunduz province where the bulk of its 4,300 forces is concentrated.)

In February of 2009 the Kyrgyz government announced that it was also evicting U.S. and NATO forces from its country, but relented in June when Washington offered it $60 million to reverse its decision.

Kyrgyzstan borders China.

It not only borders China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, but is only separated from Russia by a single nation, Kazakhstan. To gain an appreciation of Russian and Chinese concerns over hundreds of thousands of U.S. and NATO troops passing through Kyrgyzstan, imagine a comparable amount of Chinese and Russian soldiers regularly passing through Mexico and Guatemala, respectively. For almost nine years and at an accelerating rate.

It is not only a military "hard power" but also a "soft power" threat that the Western role in Kyrgyzstan poses to Russia and China. The nation is a member of the post-Soviet Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) along with Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan - seen by many as the only counterpart to NATO on former Soviet space - and of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) with China, Russia and the three above-mentioned Central Asian nations.

According to U.S. officials, during and after the Tulip Revolution of 2005 not a single U.S. or NATO flight into the Manas Air Base was cancelled or even delayed. But a six-nation CSTO exercise scheduled for days afterward was cancelled.

The uprising and the deposing of standing president Askar Akayev in March of 2005 was the third self-styled "color revolution" in the former Soviet Union in sixteen months, following the Rose Revolution in Georgia in late 2003 and the Orange Revolution in Ukraine in late 2004 and early 2005.

As the Kyrgyz version was underway Western news media were asking the question "Who's next?" Candidates included other former Soviet states like Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Moldova and Uzbekistan. And Russia. Along with Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan those nations accounted for ten of the twelve members of the post-Soviet Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

As Agence France-Presse detailed in early April of 2005: "The CIS was founded in December 1991 on the very day the Soviet Union disappeared....But over the past year and a half, three faithful Kremlin allies were toppled in...revolutions: Eduard Shevardnadze in Georgia, Leonid Kuchma in Ukraine, and, last week, Askar Akayev in Kyrgyzstan....Even though Kyrgyzstan’s new interim leaders have vowed to continue their deposed predecessor’s Moscow-friendly policies, the lightning toppling of the government there has spawned speculation that the CIS would soon collapse." [3]

The leader of the "color revolution" prototype, Georgia's Mikheil Saakashvili, gloated over the Kyrgyz "regime change," attributing the "brave" actions of the opposition in Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan "to the Georgia factor," and added, "We are not waiting for the development of events, but are doing our best to destroy the empire in the CIS." [4]

Shortly after the uprising former Indian diplomat and political analyst M.K. Bhadrakumar wrote of the then seemingly inexorable momentum of "color" revolts in the former Soviet Union: "[A]ll the three countries [Georgia, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan] are strategically placed in the post-Soviet space. They comprise Russia's 'near abroad.'

"Washington has been expanding its influence in the arc of former Soviet republics — in the Baltics...the Caucasus, and Central Asia — in recent years with a tenacity that worries Moscow. "Ever since 2003 when Mr. Akayev decided on allowing Russia to establish a full-fledged military base in Kant he knew he was on the American 'watch list.' The political temperature within Kyrgyzstan began to rise.

"The Americans made it clear in many ways that they desired a regime change in Bishkek....The 'revolution' in the Central Asian state of Kyrgyzstan has already thrown up surprises. A comparison with the two earlier 'colour revolutions' in Georgia and Ukraine will be a good starting point. "First, the striking similarities between the three 'revolutions' must be duly noted. All three are meant to signify the unstoppable spread of the fire of liberty lit by the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq in the aftermath of 9/11.

"But behind the rhetoric, the truth is that the U.S. wanted regime change in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan because of difficulties with the incumbent leadership. The leaders of all the three countries — Eduard Shevardnadze in Georgia, Leonid Kuchma in Ukraine, and Askar Akayev in Kyrgyzstan — had enjoyed the support of the U.S. during most of their rule. Washington had cited them repeatedly as the beacons of hope for democracy and globalisation in the territories of the former Soviet Union. "Their trouble began when they incrementally began to edge towards a resurgent Russia under Vladimir Putin." [5]

The two Georges - Bush and Soros - were not alone in fathering the "color" geostrategic transformations from the Balkans to the former Soviet Union and the Middle East. They received generous assistance from the likes of Freedom House, the National Endowment for Democracy, the National Democratic Institute, the International Republican Institute and other alleged non-governmental organizations." - [end excerpt]
