5. Simply Like the Blind Men and the Elephant - Or Are More Sinister Hidden Agendas Involved?

A lot of the issues that get presented here on DU are pretty clear and unambiguous, fueling moral outrage in anyone with the human decency and common sense necessary to see things straight. Perhaps most of the issues and causes presented here fall into that category.

But the whole Ukrainian crisis has been a bird of a different feather, and something else indeed. We have had videos up on DU about the Ukrainian crisis that presented first one version of what was happening, then another one, completely different from the first, that really made it seem that these were murky waters indeed, and it was impossible to get to the bottom of what was actually going on. But happily, this video seems to clear things up in a realistic, believable way, and above all, it puts a human face - or human faces - on the whole Ukrainian crisis.

I now know that the first video on the Ukrainian crisis that I saw on DU, with the beautiful Ukrainian model narrating things, was actually much closer to the truth about what is actually happening, and that the previous video I saw, branding the whole Ukrainian uprising as Neo-Nazi and skinhead thugs taking over the country and shredding the constitution, was the real propaganda with sinister hidden motives. As I was thinking in a moment of relative realism and common sense after seeing that previous video:

Why would the US be supporting Neo-Nazis in the Ukraine when our leaders and politicians are so beholden to Israel, and AIPAC is breathing down their necks? Thankfully, this video blows a big hole in that theory, which now seems to be little more than cynical, sinister propaganda. My head is spinning too much, and this Ukrainian crisis has perplexed me to the point where my brain is too tired to try and figure out who was behind the propaganda thesis of the previous video, and what their motives were. I leave that to my colleagues in this forum to figure out, and am signing off.
