Among the items plundered from Yanukovych's compound (after he fled to Kharkov)...

 

More than a handful wanted in...

 

and soon they were all in...

 

And here's what they found...

There must be some mistake.  Isn't he Putin's guy?  Doesn't Putin wear the white hat around here?

As has been said repeatedly, Putin is not admired by many here - he is respected by many here - including myself. I respect him for being a strong and determined leader who wants to restore his nation to what he perceives as it's proper place in world affairs. 

Obama, on the other hand, wants to destroy America. 

A man can be your enemey, and still command respect. I have no love for Putin and my sympathies lie with the protestors in the Ukraine.

The Ukranian people had better beware, the World Power Elite are going to continue to run their country unless the people remain vigilant.

This is merely the first step. Now that the people appear to be temporarily in control, the next step is the bankers, including the central bankers.

Unfortunately the votes are in! Yanukovych is a major "pile of shit". 

Having said that "it takes one to know one", and if I were a thinking Ukrainian I'd be asking if the $5 billion the U.S. and EU Government's are using to destroy their Nation's Capital is actually better than the house, cars and "gold" that Mr. Yanukovych has accumulated and purloined from his own people, much like the wealth being confiscated from the people who's Government(s) in Washington and Brussels are doing, but without Russia's involvement?

By the way it was a free and fair election and even if the people decided after the fact they didn't want him to govern their are rules and procedures in place within that government that could have ousted him without 80 dead, hundreds injured and destruction of property in that city aided and abetted by foreign intervention.

Think it's high time we have outside observers in our own national elections given the less than accurate vote counts in the last 4 Presidential elections!

Why did the US go after Gaddafi then? His "compound" was a hubble compared to this. Any 1 KG gold bars with Gaddafi's face on 'em? No, but Gaddafi was actually interested in doing some good for the people and getting rid of the dreadful "oil for dollars" game. Rest assured the US is on the morally wrong side in the Ukraine as well.

The constitution was for white male landowners, most of them aristocratic freemasons tied to the crown.  The Bill of Rights was attached because some of the delegates knew it wouldn't fly without it, but why do you need to attach this if the organic constitution gives freedom and liberty to those it is already intended?  There has never been a true representative government for the people. 

Tyranny and it's roots went to work on any semblance of a Republic from day one, and has succeeded quite nicely in the last 200 years.  While we scream at the castle walls for more bread and circuses, the gentried powerbrokers feed us lies as a condiment to our bread and circus, and continue to parasitically subjugate the masses to do their bidding, while they vampire and consume all our energy for their own psychopathic, satanic, hedonistic aggrandizement.

What we are seeing in these photo's is the manifestation of this parasitical psychopathic aggrandisement in broad daylight, no different than anywhere else in the world.

Strictures upon the Declaration of the Congress at Philadelphia in a Letter to a Noble Lord, &c.

by Thomas Hutchinson, former Governor of Massachusetts

(London, 1776)

MY LORD,

[3][i] The Last time I had the honour of being in your Lordships company, you observed that you was utterly at a loss to what facts many parts of the Declaration of Independence published by the Philadelphia Congress referred, and that you wished they had been more particularly mentioned, that you might better judge of the grievances, alleged as special causes of the separation of the Colonies from the other parts of the Empire. This hint from your Lordship induced me to attempt a few Strictures upon the Declaration. Upon my first reading it, I thought there would have been more policy in leaving the World altogether ignorant of the motives of the Rebellion, than in offering such false and frivolous reasons in support of it; and I flatter myself, that before I have finished this letter, your Lordship will be of the same mind. But I beg leave, first to make a few remarks upon its rise and progress.

I have often heard men, (who I believe were free from party influence) express their wishes, that the claims of the Colonies to an exemption from the authority of Parliament in imposing taxes had been conceded; because they had no doubts that America would have submitted in all other cases; and so this unhappy Rebellion, which has already proved fatal to many hundreds of the Subjects of the Empire, and probably will to many thousands more, might have been prevented.

The Acts for imposing Duties and Taxes may have accelerated the Rebellion, and if this could have been foreseen, perhaps, it might have been good policy to have omitted or deferred them; but I am of opinion, that if no Taxes or Duties had been laid upon the Colonies, other pretences would have been found for [4] exception to the authority of Parliament. The body of the people in the Colonies, I know, were easy and quiet. They felt no burdens. They were attached, indeed, in every Colony to their own particular Constitutions, but the Supremacy of Parliament over the whole gave them no concern. They had been happy under it for an hundred years past: They feared no imaginary evils for an hundred years to come. But there were men in each of the principal Colonies, who had independence in view, before any of those Taxes were laid, or proposed, which have since been the ostensible cause of resisting the execution of Acts of Parliament. Those men have conducted the Rebellion in the several stages of it, until they have removed the constitutional powers of Government in each Colony, and have assumed to themselves, with others, a supreme authority over the whole.

Their designs of Independence began soon after the reduction of Canada, relying upon the future cession of it by treaty. They could have no other pretence to a claim of independence, and they made no other at first, than what they called the natural rights of mankind, to chuse their own forms of Government, and change them when they please. This, they were soon convinced, would not be sufficient to draw the people from their attachment to constitutions under which they had so long been easy and happy: Some grievances, real or imaginary, were therefore necessary. They were so far from holding Acts for laying Duties to be unconstitutional, and, as has been since alledged, meer nullities, that in Massachusetts Bay the General Assembly, about the year 1762, ordered an Action to be brought against the Officers of the Customs, for charges made in the Court of Admiralty, which had caused a diminution of the part of forfeitures to the Province, by virtue of what is called the Sugar Act, passed in the sixth year of George the Second. Surely they would not deny the authority of Parliament to lay the Duty, while they were suing for their part of the penalty for the non-payment of it.

[5] Their first attempt was against the Courts of Admiralty, which they pronounced unconstitutional, whose judgements, as well as jurisdiction, they endeavored to bring into examen before the Courts of Common Law, and a Jury chosen from among the people: About the same time, a strong opposition was formed against Writs of Assistants, granted to the Officers of the Customs by the Supreme Courts, and this opposition finally prevailed in all the Colonies, except two or three, against, and in defiance of, an Act of Parliament which required the Supreme Courts to grant these writs.

It does not, however, appear that there was any regular plan formed for attaining to Independence, any further than that every fresh incident which could be made to serve the purpose, by alienating the affections of the Colonies from the Kingdom, should be improved accordingly. One of these incidents happened in the year 1764. This was the Act of Parliament granting certain duties on goods in the British Colonies, for the support of Government, etc. At the same time a proposal was made in Parliament, to lay a stamp duty upon certain writings in the Colonies; but this was deferred until the next Session, that the Agents of the Colonies might notify the several Assemblies in order to their proposing any way, to them more eligible, for raising a sum for the same purpose with that intended by a stamp duty. The Colony of Massachusetts Bay was more affected by the Act for granting duties, than any other Colony. More molasses, the principal article from which any duty could arise, was distilled into spirits in that Colony than in all the rest. The Assembly of Massachusetts Bay, therefore, was the first that took any publick of the Act, and the first which ever took exception to the right of Parliament to impose Duties or Taxes on the Colonies, whilst they had no representatives in the House of Commons. This they did in a letter to their Agent in the summer of 1764, which they took care to print and publish before it was possible for him to receive it. And in this letter they recommend to him a pamphlet, wrote by one of their [6] members, in which there are proposals for admitting representatives from the Colonies to fit in the House of Commons.

I am uncertain about this revolution. But, the corruption in Ukraine is so deep and so out of control, the people do have a right to bring that fucking government to it's knees! As for the EU and US attempt to absorb Ukraine, well that is a long story. The west Ukraine, where the revolution is based, is an economic basket case, totally bankrupt and economically backward. Hopeless in every respect. This is the part of Ukraine that will join the EU. Ukraine has been living off of Russian billions in bailout money during the last few months, that money is now likely to stop flowing.

But the revolution's victory today is not the real story of today. The real story comes out of Karkov, a major industrial city in the East Ukraine. Their parliamentary leaders, have passed a resolution on the district levels that removes the East and South of Ukraine from the control of Kiev. The main resolution declares the Kiev parliament and the revolutionary leadership void on the territory of East and South Ukraine along with Crimea. They will not accept any law or any commands coming from Kiev. To them Kiev is not any longer the governing body of East and South Ukraine. The map of areas that are now independent of Ukraine's western based Kiev government are large and they contain the mines, the industry and some of the richest farmland on earth. Their economy is already part of the Russian Fedderation's economic unit. So economically, nothing need be done. But politically, the political bodies are gathering forces to support police units in enforcing their independent status.

The EU and USA have not yet said a word about this development. They are at a loss what to say. Should they declare that the revolutionary government of Kiev is the government of East and South Ukraine, then they will need to march forces to conquer these places. If they try, then we have a serious issue.

I suggest, the EU and USA accept they have taken west Ukraine into NATO and the EU, and leave it at that. If they go to war to conquer the part of Ukraine that wants nothing to do with Kiev, then we are into world war three territory. Not something anyone should want.

I wish the heroic people of West Ukraine a happy future, though, they will become a nation worse of than Greece. But, they will gain the right to leave Ukraine for western Europe. I suggest millions will leave. Most of the revoutionary patriots will be on the first train out once freedom of movement comes into force.

allow me to argue. the heavy industry in east-ukraine is quite obsolete. factories have equipment from soviet time. during the holidays they close factories for a week to minimize losses. industry in west-ukraine mainly produces victuals which feed the country.

anyways, ukraine, both west and east, is in a bad shape and believe it or not, greek living standard is still a dream for many ukrainians. greek, besides the employment numbers, are doing ok. it's common to lean on family. 3 generations under one roof is a standard also in good times. nobody pays taxes, that's why the greek government is bankrupt and official unemployment seems high.

we know GDP doesn't show shit but still. ukraine GDP per capita is $4000 compared to greek $22 000. they are still worlds apart. i'm just getting tired of the comparison how eastern-europe will be worse than greece. they have always been and probably always will be. only reason eastern-europe has positive image is because their economies have been rising fast but one needs not to forget the starting point was soviet union. you can't get lower than that and it's one of the reasons eastern-europeans(except ethnic russians who were mass imported to assimilate the natives) are not fond of russia who is the legitimate successor of soviet union.

estonia, highest GDP per capita ex-soviet state with $16 000 is still at least 3 years short catching up with greece. i'm estonian and my best friend is greek so in this case i can confirm the GDP actually reflects reality.

Very dissappointing - Russia cannot afford to let the banksters and zionist warmongers into their backyard here.

 

EDIT: ZH has been getting more and more cheerleading the banksters agenda recently.  I can write off a certain amount as just being ignorant - but it is getting to be the case that ZH is on the wrong side of every issue lately.

There's a reason why Obama hasn't opened his fat mouth yet and that's because our incompetent State Department assholes have no idea what's going on on the ground over there and who's in charge. 

We aren't controlling this or calling the shots. We're just one player out of many, and far from the best.

Also, anybody notice the complete and total lack of looting? Big difference between the type of folks who live in Kiev and the type of folks that live in New Orleans, huh?

Latest headline in the Russian press. "Russia pledges to fight a war for Crimea should the revolutionay government of Kiev, with ties to NATO attempt to absorb the Crimea."

Did I just mention something about World War Three. The laughs are over, this is deadly serious. Not a game any longer.

I said a few days back that the USA and NATO have begun an "End Game" against Russia. I believe recent developments support what I said. Stay tuned, there is more. The local government in Karkov, the major city of East Ukraine says they are making preparations for the worst case.

For the sake of peace, I do hope West Ukraine and it's USA/EU backers are sane enough to settle for West Ukraine. But since this is "end game" they may move to conquer the east and south. God help us all if they try. World Wars have started over just these types of events.

What are you talking about? Russia is already finished. The western portion of its empire was absorbed into the western military alliance that is directly opposed to it. One of the core regions of the old empire, Ukraine, is in chaos after Russia attempted to strengthen its hold of it. It is well known that China wants to annex portions of the Russian far east.

Russia is a wounded beast that might or might not lash out with what strength remains. In both cases only death(further territorial losses) awaits it.

Russia bombed the living crap out of Chechnya - killing maybe 100,000 people - almost all of them collateral damage.  Dont under estimate Putin -he is willing to wipe Ukraine off the map entirely - killing everyone in it if he thought that would achieve Russian soveriegnty.

 

It wont of course - but there is nothing he wont do - be prepared for a viscous counter move here.

Not to worry, Putin won't move until after the closing ceremonies in Sochi. Of course, psychos are running the puppet show in all the NATO countries, especially here in the States. They have yet to actually be tested by a real enemy and willmost likely run away when confronted with one. As for the President of Ukraine, his weakness speaks for itself. This situation is like any virus that spreads in the body unless stopped. The situation with the right wing radicals that we are supporting there is so typical if you know your history, same story all the time, the students and others supporting the anarchy in the square must be extremely niave, stupid/ignorant. This is what happens when you don't learn your lessons... they repeat and repeat until you do.... civilizations come and go, come and go. It's nice of the idiots in Kiev to give the world one last example of how the 'divide and conquer' routine works... one last lesson... before Mother Nature comes in to clean the slate like the tide at the seashore as the kids busy themselves making sand castles... it comes and goes... and if you learn the patterns, you know roughly when to play and when not to. If one is observant, one doesn't have to learn things the hard way, but can utilize the experiences of others as their sand castles get destroyed. Thanks Kiev.... thanks for the memories.

And it will only happen in a dream because Americans are unworthy and they will continue looking the other way until their own wealth is completely "confiscated", or "worse" an exchange at or near Defcon 1 takes place.

We have a choice and a stake in our own future and we could make this all stop if we wanted to, but as long as it's happening in someone elses Country even when it's our own Government that is the deliberate perpetrator in undermining yet another legitimate sovereign Government -the American people are uncaring and more importantly unforgiving in there indifference.

After this show in Ukraine got underway with the Pyatt/Nuland "tap" nearly two weeks ago, we should have seen massive demonstrations in Washington and around the United States in order to avert what may very well become a World War forcing Congressman and Senators to impeach a sitting President and throw numerous statesman like McCain and Graham as well as State Department and CIA officials in jail for blatant acts of treason. 

Instead we hear only the wind at our backs and it's just another day of chaos and mayhem everywhere else but America...

FYI Yaunkovitch is said to have two castles in europe and well over a billion $ outside of Ukraine. His dentist son made over 138 million pofit known of from government projects. At an official income of something like $2000 to $4000 a month over his political career it is very safe to say Yaunkovitch was uber corrupt. I have visited the Ukraine on 5 separte trips since 2004 and as an american who has seen poor white people over there strugeling for basics in life I can see how offended they are with such a detached President.
