Team America/NATO/EU and our good friends from Saudi Arabia punishing 
Putin, f*** yeah!


As for my pet subject, Western support for Nazis in Ukraine:

'In other words, evidence is mounting that the Kiev regime has waged its 
so-called €œanti-terrorist operation€ against ethnic Russians in eastern 
Ukraine by using out-of-control paramilitaries, some guided by Nazi 
ideology. This behavior, fitting with the far-right political extremism 
previously known to EU leaders, also violates norms agreed to by the 
Ukrainian government in its commitment to the OSCE.

Yet, apparently for geopolitical reasons, the Obama administration, the 
EU and the OSCE have muted any criticism. This silent hypocrisy has been 
largely echoed in the Western mainstream media.'

This is true, although Parry is much too polite for my tastes. For links 
to Russian propaganda outlets in the West, see the article.

Parry's take was written before the "Guardian" finally saw fit to end 
its half-year near-silence on the neo-Nazis in Ukraine:

Note that the Azov Bataillon (these are the guys with the Wolfsangel and 
the Black Sun in their banner), founded by Oleh Lyashko, threatens to 
perform another coup.

Meanwhile the Neocons' man, some might even say puppet, in Kiev, 
Yatsenyuk, has left Tymoshenko's "Fatherland" party and become chairman 
of the new "Popular Front". This party includes the most notorious 
neo-Nazis and white supremacists of Ukraine (among them, for those of 
you who care, Parubiy and Biletsky). The "Popular Front" has a political 
wing and a para-military wing.

Now, where have I heard this before?

You can rest assured that these people will attempt to grab power by any 
means necessary. It might turn out helpful that Parubiy appears to be a 
flase-flag specialist (snipers on Maidan, Odessa).

Oleh Lyashko's (did I mention that he co-founded the Azov Bataillon, the 
guys with the wolf's hook and the Black Sun?) "Radical Party" which, 
yep, leads the polls is not much better. I suspect that Lyashko is only 
a dangerous clown who happens to like torturing opponents and then 
putting the video up on Youtube for the world to see, while Yatsenyuk, 
Parubiy et al. mean business and will have some support from the West. 
But what do I know?

All in all, the West is not only supporting (amongst other people, of 
course, who are merely oligarchs and/or EU-/NATO-/US-puppets -- peaceful 
protestors against Yanukovich with legitimate concerns regarding, for 
example, oligarchs like Poroshenko, have been sidelined long ago) Nazis 
in Kiev -- even though it has ignored their existence and, if pressed, 
denied their importance since they brought about regime change on 
February 22 -- but by doing this are now on the verge of creating an 
openly fascist state whose defining trait is hate for Russia and Russians.

It would appear that for some of you this sounds promising. To me, it 
doesn't.
