ROBERT PARRY: Cheering a ‘Democratic’ Coup in Ukraine

The revival of some of the worst anti-Russian, Cold War rhetoric has been heard in the impeachment hearings on Capitol Hill. What hasn’t been heard, in a bi-partisan cover-up, is talk of the opening act of this political drama, which started the entire mess in Ukraine, as explained by our founding editor Robert Parry as the events were still unfolding.

{But Yanukovych sought to maintain cordial relations with neighboring Russia, which apparently rubbed American neocons the wrong way.}

Volodymyr Zelensky just has a meeting with Putin to ease the war in Eastern Ukraine and conduct prisoner trades. Later the 2 meeting with 3 other European PM's. Rub that one out boys.

{So, Putin found himself in the center of the neocons’ bulls-eye and given some of his own unforced errors such as defending Russia’s intolerance toward gays and spending excessively on the Sochi Olympics he became the latest “designated villain,” denounced and ridiculed across the neocon-dominated op-ed pages of the Washington Post and other major news outlets.}

Let the conditioning from manufactured narratives begin.

{In the upside-down world that has become the U.S. news media, the democratically elected president was a dictator and the coup makers who overthrew the popularly chosen leader were “pro-democracy” activists.}

And this is what you end up getting. Can I get a, Hong Kong?

{Though the capital Kiev sits in a region dominated by the western Ukrainians, the Russian-allied Ukrainians represent most of the population, explaining Yanukovych’s electoral victory.}

This is the key to understanding Ukraine, and Crimea. Eastern Ukraine is predominately Russian allied Russian speaking citizens. After the neocon fascist take over they waged a genocide agenda against Eastern Ukraine our media labeled as a Russian invasion. Same as with Crimea which I have posted they voted to rejoin Russia. Since then there was also a split in 2 secular Christian religions that once operated side by side that played into this quagmire also. Both having their own Pope like entity that go back centuries. I say split because the Russian orthodox was forced out of Western Ukraine from being allowed to exist.

{In these cases, it is typical for the mainstream U.S. news media to obsess over perceived flaws in the ousted leaders. On Wednesday, for instance, The New York Times made much of an unfinished presidential palace in Ukraine, calling it “a fugitive leader’s folly.” The idea seems to be to cement in the minds of impressionable Americans that it is okay for the U.S. government to support the overthrow of democratically elected presidents if they have flaws.}

Impressionable Americans can also be conditioned within fake impeachment hearings where all the major details of this issue are left out, a cherry picked 1 or 2 can be used against a manufactured enemy. That impressionable populace having relatively no knowledge of 2014 events and the previous administrations involvement can easily be managed as the original accusations can also be applied to both administrations. Ending not on those accusations but other indictments that also can be applied to both administrations.

.....really about getting Trump reelected again.

A reoccurring theme is being played out in a couple of arenas I've noticed. On calls coming into NPR shows and comments on both social media and the sites I use. That being of people who are more aware of the history of this issue on the democrats mockery of the use of impeachment to white wash both parties involvement. They are giving more credit to the republicans despite their failure to expose all facts. With the election cycle of 2016 also often being referred to, this added on is their last straw in confidence to hold them (democrats) as reliable representation. Coming from both democratic and republican supporters, then independents, the democratic party is pushing out more supporters. They are drastically fueling Trump supporters! And it doesn't matter if they are totally ignorant to the facts or not, there's no chance in hell they can be persuaded now to withdraw their support.
