Fight Breaks Out In Parliament When Ukraine Learns It Has Quietly Become The Newest US State

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears not all the government members approve of the new foreign-born members of the Ukraine parliament... as this fight just broke out...

 

And the result when other members discovered this...

The fight occurred after the majority of people's deputies supported the draft resolution on the appointment of the number of (foreign) members of parliamentary committees.

After the vote, the People's Deputy Vladimir Parasyuk began requiring word in explanation of vote, but the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Groisman refused it...

*  *  *

We don't blame them for wanting to know how they just became the newest US State...

*  *  *

Here the 3 new (foreign-born) members of Ukraine's parliament...

 

As RFERL reports,

Three foreigners -- Natalie Jaresko, Aivaras Abromavicius, and Aleksandr Kvitashvili -- were approved as ministers by Ukraine's parliament on December 2.

President Petro Poroshenko said their appointment, which has raised some eyebrows in Ukraine, was part of an effort to find "innovative solutions in the government" due to the "extraordinary challenges facing Ukraine."

Poroshenko naturalized all three hours before their confirmation by parliament.

All have given up their citizenships to comply with Ukraine's constitutional ban on dual citizenship.=

Natalie Jaresko, United States -- Finance Minister

Jaresko, who has Ukrainian roots, has lived in the country for more than two decades.

She moved to Kyiv in 1992, just months after Ukraine gained independence from the Soviet Union, to head the economic department of the newly opened U.S. embassy.

Prior to her relocation, she held various economic positions in the U.S. State Department.

She holds a master's degree in public policy from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and a bachelor of science degree in accounting from DePaul University in Chicago.

In 1995, she left the U.S. Embassy to work for the Western NIS Enterprise Fund (WNISEF), an equity fund financed by the U.S. government, where she rose to the position of chief executive officer.

She established her own fund, Horizon Capital, in 2004.

During the Orange Revolution, Jaresko made no secret of her sympathies for the pro-Western uprising. She went on serve on then-President Viktor Yushchenko's Foreign Investors Advisory Council.

With the United States facing accusations of political meddling in Ukraine, Jaresko's new role has raised eyebrows.

U.S. State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf has already denied Washington had any hand in her appointment.

Jaresko says the new cabinet of ministers intends to "change the country, improve transparency and eliminate corruption."

Speaking to parliament on December 2, she declared her readiness to "take on challenges."

Jaresko faces a tough job warding off economic collapse, battling corruption, and reforming Ukraine's economy as the country continues to fight an armed insurgency in the east.

Aivaras Abromavicius, Lithuania -- Economy Minister

Like Jaresko, Abromavicius is no newcomer to Ukraine.

Born in Vilnius, Lithuania, the investment banker has lived in Kyiv since 2008 and has a Ukrainian wife.

He is a partner and fund manager at the East Capital asset management group.

The group is a major player in Ukraine, where it invested almost $100 million in 2012.

Abromavicius describes himself as a Ukrainian patriot and has pledged "radical measures" to overhaul the country's battered economy.

He claims he hasn't yet discussed his ministerial salary, which he said he expected to be "very small."

He has voiced hope that his "efforts and experience will help Ukraine reach a totally different level of economic development, bring transparency and openness to government's work."

Aleksandr Kvitashvili, Georgia -- Health Minister

Kvitashvili served as health minister in his native Georgia between 2008 and 2010, under then-President Mikheil Saakashvili.

He holds a bachelor's degree in history from Tbilisi State University and a master's degree from the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service in New York.

After graduating in 1993, he did a brief stint working in the United States at the Atlanta Medical Center as an administrative and finance officer.

He returned to Georgia the same year to work for the United Nations Development Program.

He has since held positions at a number of healthcare-related organizations, including the United Methodist Committee on Relief, the Curatio International Foundation, the East/West Institute in New York, and the Transatlantic Partners Against AIDS organization.

Kvitashvili was rector of Tbilisi State University between 2010 and 2013.

Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has tasked Kvitashvili with introducing sweeping reforms to tackle rampant corruption among health authorities.

Despite his recent arrival in Ukraine, Kvitashvili, who does not speak Ukrainian, professes "deep respect for Ukraine and its people."

"I've been working on reforms in Ukraine for the past three months, but my love [for] this country has a much longer history," he said on December 2.

I am pretty sure I read this in a history text book somewhere...

Where you prepare puppet rulers, and then post-coup you install them?  Wasn't this standard practice for some hundreds of years in Eurasia?  The Byzantines, Ottomans, Venetians all did this.

But lets call it what it is!  Puppet rulers, installed post-coup.

"...I think they are just figuring out what they got themselves into..."

Interesting that the guy that got all excited and started reading off the BPP faction (leading to the near 'fight') was Vladimir Parasyuk. I recognized that distinctive hoarse yelling way before I recognized his face.

This was the Maidan security guy that jumped up on Maidan stage after the opposition politicians announced an agreement with Yanukovych giving him until the end of the year in office. Parasyuk was pissed that they made any agreements with the homicidal Yanukovych and shamed them for doing so. He pretty much threatened the future government of Ukraine (on the stage at the time) with insurrection - asking the people to support an armed assault on parliament if they didn't have Yanukovych's resignation by 10:00 the next morning. The crowd responded rather enthusiastically, much to the dismay of the U.S. stooges-in-waiting.

All the politicians on that stage - the U.S. State Department and CIA's hand-picked finest, were there to announce their grand plan going forward and that everything had been negotiated. The crowd was underwhelmed. Parasyuk - a nobody - jumped up and said what was on everyone's mind: that Yanukovych had to go, no exceptions, no agreements, no negotiation. Of course, Yanukovych (in a bit of legal theatre) never resigned and just took his Jewish-Russian-Ukrainian oligarch loot and fled to Russia.

The 'fight' in parliament today was about the BPP faction hiding uncomfortable facts of the vote from the peon Ukrainians. Parasyuk was pissed once again and demanded transparency, which was quickly ignored and business returned to normal. 

The Ukraine people's ONLY hope today is Vladimir Parasyuk and a wood-chipper. They don't get that simple fact at all, and remain in a coma as the Jewish-Ukrainian vampires and U.S. corporate cronies fight over the remaining Ukrainian government property, Ukrainian land and the last of the Ukraine children's blood. The Ukrainians are being Gaza'd. 

 

It's all clear to me now: this is exactly how the United States will end.

Bingo, we have a winner. Also, I'd modify your last sentence from "will end" to "ended". For example, a country that effecitvely has no borders and actually advantages foreigners (who, BTW, mostly hate the very country they invade) over its 'citizens' is not really a country anymore.

The US had human drones infiltrating the warring Jewish-Ukrainian oligarchy clans years ago, Skateboarder. The operation was always vampiric - Neuland's cabal of Jewish IMF oligarchs lining up for their turn to rape the Ukrainian people of what little they have left. A brief history from The Kremlin Stooge:

"...The origin of the current seizing of power originally came from the attempt to salvage something from the ashes of the ‘Orange Revolution’ by some of its original backers. In 2007 Viktor Yushchenko, former IMF protege and hero of the Orange revolution, along with his government were in complete chaos, his popularity now in the single digits.

 

The core of the Yuschenko government’s policies were essentially the same as what the current unelected regime is attempting to push through – subordinate economic policy to the control of the IMF, mass privitazation of state assets; the outlawing of Russian language; the promotion of Ukraine’s entry into NATO; removal of the Russian fleet from Crimea & control handed over to NATO, etc.

 

However, with the complete chaos that came in the wake of the Orange Revolution very little of this program was achieved, despite the vast sums of money expended, intense political lobbying efforts and the enormous western style PR/media campaigns on its behalf (only some the privatization & IMF sponsored ‘reforms’ were successfully implemented).

 

A new champion for ‘Western Democracy’ had to be created, and so in 2007 the Arseniy Yatsenyuk Foundation was born, and with it the career of Arseniy Yatsenyuk as a major political player.

 

Despite its brief removal from the internet, a clear picture of just what Arseniy Yatsenyuk is about can still be gleaned from the list of partners found on the Arseniy Yatseninuk Foundation’s website. They are – the Black Sea Trust for Regional Cooperation (A Project of the German Marshall Fund); – Chatham House; – NATO Information and Documentation Centre; – State Department of the United States of America; – NED National Endowment for Democracy; – Horizon Capital; – Swedbank; – & the Victor Pinchuk Foundation..."

You will hear those names over and over again in the next few months as the massive amount of cronyism and fraud fully backed by the U.S. government is slowly uncovered. The current three stooges are all filthy psychopaths and enemies of the Ukrainian people. 

From Stanislav Mishin at the Mat Rodina blog:

"...The first is Natalie Jaresko, a US citizen, head of the Kiev based Horizon Capital Investments, will now run the Ministry of Finance. What is not mentioned is that she is also a former State Department official who will have control over the funds that the IMF, itself a puppet organization, will give Ukraine. She will also control the terms of those deals. In other words, she is the agent direct of the whole sale of Ukrainian property that is about to take place. I am sure her rewards will be staggering..."

Horizon was co-founded by Jaresko and Jeffery Neil, the former Chairman of the Global Investment Banking Group of Merrill Lynch & Co. They founded Horizon in 2006 to invest no just in Ukraine, but in Moldova and Belarus. I'm sure we'll here more about those junior players sooner or later.

"...Jaresko still serves on the board of another company called the Western NIS Enterprise Fund, an equity fund that is in partnership with USAID in Ukraine & Moldova. Among WNISEF’s partners are Whitney MacMillan, multi-billionaire & the former CEO of Cargill, the world’s largest agricultural trading company; along with the former Chairman of Sippican, a subsidiary of defence contractor Lockheed Martin..."

So Jaresko, Cargill and Lockheed are 'partners' with the CIA... er, USAID. How fucking convenient. Maybe this explains why Jewish oligarchs are so eager to enlist neo-Nazis to run the repressive Ukrainian state police. Rape victims are generally not cooperative - you need some psychopathic thugs to hold them down for you. What better candidates than the Right Sector and Svaboda? Cargill's future Ukraine farmland will be well-fertilized with the decaying bodies of resistive Ukranians. Where's that fake Maidan 'Freedom' bitch that whored herself and her country out, now? 

"...The second is Aivaras Abromavicius, a Lithuanian citizen, a former top executive at East Capital. He addressed the Rada stating: "I'm from Europe. We will work together European style." A so, staggering socialism, corruption with a good Public Relations machine to hide a "gentler" tyranny. He will head the Economics Ministry. Again, the money and assets are further confirmed into the hands of Western foreigners..."

You really don't hear too much about Lithuania, but I'll take Abromaviciuss word that it's part of Europe. 'Lithuanian-Jewish oligarch' doesn't roll off the tounge with a hint of familiarity, but I'm sure it will soon enough. They were probably glad to get rid of him. East Capital's dirt is sure to follow.

"...Lastly is the US educated Alexander Kvitashvili, who under Saakashvilli, with US monies "reformed" the Georgian medical system. He opened dozens of clinics and hospitals and only later did it come out that in many cases he was moving the same equipment from one opening to another, while funds for the rest of the equipment was disappearing. The present Georgian government has an open criminal case against him and others in his ministry. He is now head of the Public Health Ministry in Ukraine, ready to repeat his "successes". Oh, did I mention he studied under a Soros grant?..."

Kvitashvili seems a bit odd for the job, unless one considers his involvement with the hushed-up U.S. biological warfare labs he helped the CDC and AMRIID set up in Georgia. And they could have finished their evil research there if it wasn't for those meddling Ruskies invading. Well, Kvits now has 40 million fresh-meat volunteers for whatever new bugs he can churn out of the future Ukrainian biological warfare labs. It's not like the Uke's can say 'No' - they have lost their soverignity, they'll be property of the IMF and they'll be utterly dependent on Cargill's agro-terror and Lockheed's latest Russia-destroying weaponry.

Thus, he's made into a monster, by the monster.

"It turns out that Poroshenko, was exposed by a leaked diplomatic cable released by wikileaks in 2008 as having worked as a mole for the U.S. State Department since 2006. They referred to him as "Our Ukraine insider" and much of the cable referred to information that he was providing. (A separate cable showed that the U.S. knew Poroshenko was corrupt even at that point.)" -

I have three, and not one of the country of my birth.  And I don't even like to travel.

the Jews are ruling Ukraine now not just to loot it, but to pave the way for the last war of Gog and Magog (some Northern countries) and the collapse of the US and the large war in the ME.

Remember, children, Messiah will come when 3/4 of the earth population, or 60 nations and 2/3 of all Jews will perish in some sort of all out war.

The Jews want Messiah to come and rule the world. The situation for an all out war has to be created, the econ markets destroyed and etc.   

6 million Jews have to be moved from Israel to a safer place in Ukraie.

These are not my ideas. I am following this End Of Days blog.

The problem is that Asia (China) is completely indifferent to the whole Western-Jewish narration and want no part of it.

America isnt' "over."  It just never existed in the first place.  None of your first-grade propaganda was ever true.  The "Greatest Generation" were a bunch of selfish fucktards faced with a choice: starvation, or war.  So of course they chose war.  They weren't "great" at all, they were shallow and selfish and scared, and manipulated.

So.... what exactly is it about America that you admired, that has disappeared?  Or are you just blowing fucking smoke out your ass?

Yeah. I am somewhat disappointed that the US Senate and the US House do not fight like they used to in the 19th Century..

 

Politics was so much more entertaining back then.

 

From...http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/12/opinion/12freeman.html?_r=0

 

...but in fact the United States has had armed congressmen before. In the rough-and-tumble Congress of the 1830s, 1840s and 1850s, politicians regularly wore weapons on the House and Senate floors, and sometimes used them.

During one 1836 melee in the House, a witness observed representatives with “pistols in hand.” In a committee hearing that same year, one House member became so enraged at the testimony of a witness that he reached for his gun; when the terrified witness refused to return, he was brought before the House on a charge of contempt.

Perhaps most dramatic of all, during a debate in 1850, Senator Henry Foote of Mississippi pulled a pistol on Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri. (Someone eventually took it from his hand.) Foote had decided in advance that if he felt threatened, he would grab his gun and run for the aisle in the hope that stray shots wouldn’t hit bystanders.

Most famously, in 1856, Representative Preston Brooks of South Carolina caned Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts on the Senate floor so brutally that Sumner had to be virtually carried from the chamber — and did not retake his seat for three years. Clearly, wielded with brute force, a cane could be a potent weapon.

By the 1850s, violence was common in Washington. Not long after Sumner’s caning, a magazine told the story of a Michigan judge who traveled by train to the nation’s capital: “As he entered the main hall of the depot, he saw a man engaged in caning another ferociously, all over the room. ‘When I saw this,’ says the judge, ‘I knew I was in Washington.’”

In Congress, violence was often deployed strategically. Representatives and senators who were willing to back up their words with their weapons had an advantage, particularly in the debate over slavery. Generally speaking, Northerners were least likely to be armed, and thus most likely to back down. Congressional bullies pressed their advantage, using threats and violence to steer debate, silence opposition and influence votes.

 

We need to reinstitute and legalize dueling....especially on the House and Senate floors.

I don't know what he's thinking, but I'll come right out and say Yes, they are lying to us and they are fast implementing a Neo-Feudal system.  It's pretty far along now.  Of course it's all dolled up as a meritocracy.  And we'll have well-publicized rags-to-riches stories, like the feudal meme of the street urchin who turned out to be the heir to the throne.  Instead of Lords and Ladies and Dukes and Duchesses we have Executives and Directors.  But it's the same deal.  

I happened to notice it a couple decades ago, in my first brushes with large corporate meetings and events.  After noticing a few more things I started edging my way toward a niche career as a sort of provider to the court procurers, providing specialized services to the official court procurers.  

Yes, they're getting us all into paper, while they take over the real stuff.  If they ever need to, they'll yank the paper rug out from under us and show either empty pockets of the barrels of their hired armies' guns.  The longer they can keep the Ponzi going, the more solid they think their position will be.  They may be right, too.  In human history, a sort of Feudalism and rule by a tiny Elite has been man's condition far more often and for far longer than any sort of democratic arrangement.

Who among you believes that Washington DC can run Ukraine?

I mean, they did spend 300 billion dollars to run Iraq, and look how that worked out. Now Ukraine is expected to begin getting it's US support, a few billion now for their war, and much more later to restructure the economy. This Washington claims it can and must do, while America is clearly going to hell before our eyes.

Oh, did you know that Ukrainian military officers each have a US Defense Department Spending account? Hacked computer files of Vice President Biden and US Generals visiting Ukraine revealed complaints of Ukrainian Military Officers that their new spending accounts were not being paid fast enough!

Jack Burton,

the USSA state department is raising their stakes on a busted flush, where everyone at the table knows they are bluffing. And like most bad losers, they double down.

  The BIG prize was control of Crimea and territorial waters.  The USSA lost their gamble,  hence the posturing, screaming, yelling, threatening, ad nauseaum. This is also why the EU acceded to the overthrow of an European government, and gave the Ukies the false promise of EU membership.

Strategically, Russia always had to keep Crimea to protect its southern flank and keep the black sea fleet in Sevastopol. Unless one has spent extensive time  in Crimea, visiting the major sites and military bases, it is very difficult to appreciate the amounts spent by the Soviets fortifying it  At the very southern part of Crimea, for example, there is an underground soviet base, beneath a 6 thousand foot mountain range, that was designed to withstand multiple direct nuclear hits.

Perhaps as important, are the underseas oll and gas reserves found offshore. It is estimated that Crimea has reserves equivalent to those of the North Sea!  In 2013, Chevron signed a deal with the Ukie gov't to spend up to 10 billion to secure rights for exploration.  It was well known to the soviet geologists that there were huge deposits underseas but were not exploited due to cheaper onshore resources.

Had the USSA plan succeeded, NATO would be domiciled in Sevastopol, the Ukraine would be self sufficient in Nat Gas, and likely an exporter. Moreover, the Soros Whitestream pipeline would have been constructed, connecting to the Ukie pipeline system and displacing Gazprom.  Instead Putin outfloxed them all, which is why I believe that Putin, playing the long game, allowed the Yanukovich government to fall.
