New Ukraine lawmakers threaten and Beat TV boss, then force to resign

[newthinking]

This happened yesterday, but this is also what they did to local government officials during Maidan. They threatened them and their families. There is a huge whitewash going on about Ukraine.

Right Sector takes over local government meeting and threatens officials.

(Right Sector thugs) "2 Killed, 5 Injured In Shooting In Central Kharkiv"

http://un.ua/eng/article/498355.html

*A Blue Van pulled up and shot automatic weapons at a group of "Pro-Russian activists" near the square

*Some of the activists regognized the van as one that had also shot at people on March 8th

* The van tried to flee but activists followed on motorcycles

*The Van fled to a "Patriot of Ukraine" office and tried to hide inside.

*"Kharkiv Self-Defence" representatives (Militia) and local police gathered at the office and tried to enter and those inside (30-40 ppl) used guns and "petrol bombs" and killed one man and a passer-by, and injured 5 others including a policeman.

* Right sector took hostages in the process

*Eventually those in the building surrendered (They were surrounded by militia, 200 pro-russian activists who had arrived, and police)

1. The one beating the guy is on the "Committee for Freedom of Speech". Noticing a pattern yet?

Other members of Svoboda and Right sector were given executive positions over Defense and Internal Security.

Prosecutor General is also a member of Svoboda

I would post a laughing smilie for irony, but it is too serious of an issue.

2. Congress is shifting

billions to wall street and for meddling in other countries; and the neo-american baby boomers do not have (if any) retirement. HELLO! All that tax money over 60 years, huh? They represent who?

5. More than half of the people in Congress are already worth over a million dollars each.

And most of the rest intend to use their offices as a means to reach that level of wealth. When they spend our tax dollars on some hundred billion dollar bank bailout or equally expensive military adventure half way around the World, they do so at the behest of the billionaires who, in turn, will make them millionaires.

In 1974 there were fourteen billionaires in the United States. Today there are more than twenty-one hundred of the greedy bastards!

3. They've ripped you off;

and they are meddling, warmongering and telling Rush Limbaugh lies to you daily! Start some shit on our border and see what happens.

4. Vlad: move forces to Cuba!

6. Some parts of our government seems to like this kind of people.

For proof consider only our continued diplomatic support of and massive foreign aid contributions to the coup generals who are busily locking in their dictatorship over Egypt.

7. The messaging is "our neocons and nazi's are the "kinder-gentler"

Now those neo-nazi's in Russia, those are just evil! But ours, they tell us they are not like the others.

Oh, also our Ukrainian right wingers. They may be to the right of the tea party here. But they just don't think like the usual right wingers! They are "enlightened" far right.

Oh, and they said they represent "the majority" so it must be. The tea party said the same and it was not really true, but they are not as honest as Ukrainian rightests! Surely if they say it is true, it is!

Oh, and don't forget, if you point this stuff out and view it for what it is "you must love Putin!"

[cprise]

8. State dept. thinks it can spend billions on groups in other countries

...and get a reasonable facsimile of "democracy" as a result. Instead, what they've done is make "democracy" look like a foreign putsch to create a banana republic.
