The
Hal Turner Radio Show has obtained video from Odessa, Ukraine showing
S-300 air defense systems being deployed in that city, in preparation
for WAR WITH RUSSIA.
When
the same air defense system was brought online inside SYRIA, it put
an immediate halt to Israeli attacks against Syria; even though
Israel has the LATEST U.S. warplanes and technology.
The
fact that Ukraine is now deploying this system in its largest cities
is more proof they are preparing for WAR with Russia, after a naval
skirmish last Sunday in the Black Sea near the Sea of Azov.
Three Ukrainian boats were captured by Russia after gunfire erupted.
Shortly
thereafter, Ukraine declared Martial Law in its provinces bordering
Russia, called-up Reserve Troops and DEPLOYED THEM, and announced the
military can now command all state railways for the movement of
troops and equipment.
The
march toward war in Europe continues; and the mass-media is silent
about it, leaving the general public ignorant of the horrors being
planned.
It
All Comes Crashing Down: Saakashvili Resigns as Governor of Odessa.
Washington Has Lost Control
Saakashvili
cuts and runs. Again. He didn't do it without permission from
Washington. In other words: Poroshenko is toast.
Matthew
Allen
Russia Insider, 7 November, 2016 Former
Georgian President (in exile) and current Ukrainian citizen and until
just now governor of the southern Odessa region Mikheil
Saakashvili has resigned!
Why,
you might ask? Because he "hates corruption". And probably
has no appetite for eating yet another necktie while he wets his
pants. Take the wheel,Reuters:
Saakashvili
has since repeatedly accused the Kiev leadership of lacking a real
commitment to reform.
Vowing
to continue to fight corruption which he said went to the very top of
Ukraine's establishment, he told journalists: "I have decided to
tender my resignation and start a new stage of the fight. I am not
giving up."
In
a clear rebuke of Poroshenko, he said: "In reality, in Odessa
region, the President personally supports two clans."
Addressing
journalists alongside Odessa customs chief Yulia Marushevska, he said
the work of reform-minded public officials had been thwarted by
higher authorities in Kiev interested in preserving the status quo.
Mike
was supposed to be one of those virtuous foreigners charged with
fighting corruption/privatizing everything worth more than two
hryvnia. He now joins an impressive list of western stooges who have
been chased out of Ukraine:
In
February, Economy Minister Earlier Aivaras Abromavicius, a
Lithuanian, stepped down saying vested interests were blocking his
ministry's work.
Later,
a government shake-up booted US-born Finance Minister Natalia Yaresko
and Western-backed Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk out of office. The
appointment of Poroshenko ally Volodymyr Grosyman in his place was
seen as a move by the president to consolidate power.
This
isn't a sign that Saakashvili failed at his mission — we're
sure he did everything he could to make Ukraine attractive to western
"free markets" — but rather that Poroshenko is on his way
out. Who knows, maybe Saakashvili is positioning himself for
Porky's job. Either way, he didn't cut and run without Washington's
approval.
Poroshenko
is now as popular has Hepatitis B. Which makes you think: Is
this Washington preparing for a Trump victory, which would likely
mean the end of American support for Poroshenko's shit-stained
regime?
Time
will tell. Until then, enjoy this music video, which unfortunately we
cannot find English subtitles for. It's mostly about Georgian people
saying "goodbye" to Saakashvili, though. We look
forward to the Ukrainian version.
Ukraine’s
Right Sector Plans to Repeat Bloodbath in Odessa
The
Ukrainian terrorist organization Right Sector is planning a
large-scale provocative action in Odessa that could match last year’s
massacre in the city, according to information from the neo-Nazis’
closed groups on social media, TV Channel Zvezda reported.
The
Ukrainian neo-Nazis are planning the event on Sunday.
Nationalists of all sorts are flocking to Odessa after one
of their leaders spread rumors that anti-Maidan activists will
allegedly organize a rally.
Anti-Maidan
activists denied that they planned a rally. Right Sector militants,
however, don't believe that and are ready to brutally repress
those who disagree with their extreme political ideology.
The
potential outcome could be a bloodbath on the streets of Odessa,
similar to May 2, 2014 when Ukrainian ultra-nationalists
brutally murdered 48 people in the House of Trade Unions
building during clashes with anti-Maidan activists.
As
of late, the Right Sector has spiraled out of control. Last
month, the Mukachevo shooting incident between Right Sector
militants and the local police left three people dead and 13 injured.
Right Sector leader Dmytro Yarosh blamed the local police
for starting the shootout, even though Right Sector militants
were driving to the town of Mukachevo armed with a
heavy-machine gun on top of a truck
The
armed clashes between Right Sector activists and the police,
as well as warlike plans of the extremist group's
members to get rid of the current government, have caused
people to talk about the opening of a second front.
In the latest news from the ongoing comedy skit that is Ukrainian politics, we learn that Mikheil Saakashvili has been appointed governor of Odessa oblast.
The
son of Soviet apparatchiks with ties to
the diplomatic service, which was dominated by Georgians in the late
USSR, this onetime university dropout enjoyed a great deal of success
in the 1990s, picking up various fellowships, grants, stipends,
awards, etc. from respectable European and American institutions.
Invited back into Georgia by his friend Zurab Zhvania, he soon went
into opposition to Gorby’s Foreign Minister turned Georgian
President Eduard Shevardnadze. Eventually, this culminated in
Shevardnadze’s overthrow in the Rose Revolution of 2003. From then
on, it was a familiar story.
Saakashvili
was, back then, one of the beacons of pro-Western liberalism and
reform in the former Soviet world, the object of regular paeons in
the MSM. Some of the lustre has since come off, following his idiotic
attack on Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia that resulted in
military defeat in 2008, and his own ignominious political end in
Georgia itself following revelations of mass abuse in the prison
system – under his Presidency, the incarceration rate tripled to
become Europe’s highest per capita – relevations that
were carefully
coordinated by
his political opponents. He is now wanted in his native land, which
he fled even before his Presidential term came to a formal end, on an
array of charges related to corruption as well as possible
involvement in various suspicious
deaths (including
that of Zhvania kek) andmurders.
Nonetheless, for all his democratic and human rights failings, which
all but the most hardcore neocons by now acknowledge, there is still
a very widespread impression that he is at least someone who can get
the job done – that is, improve living standards, strengthen the
country, and root out corruption. After all, did he not liquidate the
everyday bribery that is a depressing feature common to the entire
post-Soviet world? Did he not make Georgia one of the world’s most
attractive places for business? Did he not lay the foundations of, in
his own word s,
“a future Georgian Switzerland, the future Georgian Singapore, the
future Georgian Dubai, the Georgian Hong Kong, and of the greatest
Georgia of all times”? And would not Odessa benefit from his
impeccable credentials and expertise?
The
economy did grow under Saakashvili. And across a range of
institutional indices like the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business,
Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, and
various economic freedom indices it did radically improve its
position.
The
only problem was that it was doing so from an exceedingly low base,
and even today, total GDP per capita (in constant dollars) is still
considerably lower than it was in 1990. That’s 25 years and
counting! Moreover, the growth rate was virtually the same under the
“reformist” Saakashvili as it was under the “Soviet fossil”
Shevardnadze. Nor was it any better than that of Georgia’s
neighbors. To the contrary, it was far worse than in Azerbaijan,
which yes you could ascribe to oil, but was also far worse than in
neighboring Armenia and in Belarus. Both Armenia and Belarus are
located in geopolitical straits just as trying as Georgia’s –
Armenia is blockaded on two sides by Turkey and Azerbaijan, while
Belarus is known as “Europe’s last dictatorship” and is under
longstanding Western sanctions. Georgia’s performance, including
under Saakashvili, only looks adequate in comparison to the total
disaster zones that are Ukraine and Moldova. Productivity in the
agricultural sector – where around half the Georgian population
still works – has remained completely
static since
the early 1990s, whereas it more than trebled in neighboring Armenia.
Amazing
as it might sound, but fanatically-pursued libertarian reforms, US
military aid, and a couple of hotels erected by Trump to
service gushing Westerners seeking photo-ops with Saakashvili on G.W.
Bush Boulevard do
not a strong economy make.
Corruption
One
of the things that virtually everyone agrees on, even his critics, is
that under Saakashvili, Georgia “solved” its corruption problem.
If so, this would make it a somewhat unique achievement for the
ex-Soviet world, bar only Estonia, and worthy of praise.
Now
what does the data say? Certainly Georgia greatly improved its
positions on surveys that elites pay a lot of attention to, such as
Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, where
Georgia increased its rating from an abysmal 18/100 in 2003 to a
respectable, Baltic-level 49/100 by 2013. But according to
ratingsthat
measure corruption realities as
opposed to the perceptions of anonymous “experts” who can be
unduly influenced by PR agencies – the likes of Aspect Consulting,
Orion Strategies, Public Strategies, and the Glover Park Group, which
received millions of dollars under Saakashvili to burnish his
reformist image – the improvement on the ground was far more
modest. 6%
of Georgians reported
paying a bribe in the past year in 2004, the first year of
Saakashvili’s Presidency, and before his reforms could reasonably
be expected to have taken effect; in 2013, the last year of his
President, it
was 4%.
An improvement, sure, but not a particularly radical one. Actual
opinion polls by Transparency International suggest that lowlevel
corruption was not a big problem in Georgia pre-Saakashvili, and its
reduction under him could just as easily have been a simple matter of
the general withering away of the state’s regulatory agencies under
his libertarian reforms. For instance, the near wholesale removal of
university tuition subsidies – essential for democratic access to
higher education in a country as poor as Georgia – led to a plunge
in tertiary enrollment by
almost a third relative
to the early-to-mid-2000s. Fewer students automatically translates to
fewer bribes for grades. These examples can be extended indefinitely:
Less contact with the state automatically leads to “lower”
corruption. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s “good” in all
cases.
What
about institutions? According to the Open Budget Index, an
organization that asseses the transparency of state accounts
according to objective criteria (as opposed to perceptions), Georgia
did improve, but has always lagged Putin’s “mafia
state.”
Now, true, a low score in the OBI doesn’t necessarily imply
institutions are more corrupt; they could be both secretive and
honest. But in the virtual absence ofobjective, quantitative measures
of institutional quality – of which corruption perceptions by a
bunch of anonymous and unaccountable “experts” are most
definitely not – it’s the best we have, at least as a rough proxy
of states’ eagerness to tackle corruption and willingness to be
forthright with their citizens.
Then,
in addition to lowlevel and institutional corruption, we also have
highlevel corruption. This is the hardest to gauge of them all, even
just by definition (how many American bank bailouts are equivalent to
how many Chinese or Russian offshore accounts?). That said, this is
the one aspect of corruption in Georgia that many people acknowledge
is unlikely to have improved and might have even become worse
relative to Shevardnadze’s period. To the contrary, all accounts
indicate that Saakashvili merely centralized highlevel corruption
around his own figure – allegations that have now been given form
by concrete criminal charges against him in Georgia.
Added
all up, we likely see real but modest improvements in lowlevel and
institutional corruption under Saakashvili, which is of course “good”
but doesn’t come anywhere near to justifying the panegyrics
addressed towards him by Western elites and their lackeys in Ukraine
when we consider that these improvements were seen in most of the
rest of the ex-Soviet world in the 2000s as well, including in
the dark lands themselves,
Putin’s Russia. As for highlevel corruption all that happened was
that the pig put on lipstick.
Demography
Surely
the ultimate litmus test of a political leader’s performance is in
whether people want to live in his realm or not. For a long time, for
all his foreign policy failings and overblown economic and
institutional achievements, it appeared that in this at least
Saakashvili had succeeded, with Georgia’s demographic decline
stabilizing at around four and half million people after 2002 due to
declining emigration and a rebound in the fertility rate from 1.4
children per woman in the early 2000s to 1.8 today.
Then
came the 2014 Census, and it emerged that Georgia’s population
decline had if anything accelerated under Saakashvili, with
the population hitting 3.7 millionrelative
to 4.4 million in 2002 and 4.9 million in 1989 (all figures are minus
Abkhazia and South Ossetia).
Where
did all the Georgians go? Most went to Russia: Of the $1.26 billion
Georgia received in remittances in 2011 (almost 10% of Georgia’s
GDP), more than half – $655 million – came from Russia. Surely
quite an embarassment that the economy of “Switzerland in the
Caucasus” and “oldest Colchis Europe, the most ancient
civilization” was essentially held afloat by Georgian
Gasterbaiters in
a “barbarian” country with
“mongoloid brutality and ideology,” as Saakashvili himself put
it.
But
even as Saakashvili ranted and raved about Russia’s Asiatic
barbarity, using vocabulary that had disappeared off respectable
European tongues since 1968, it appears that Georgians continued to
vote with their feet and emigrate to Russia in ridiculously large
numbers. For comparison, Georgia’s population loss over the past
decade is equivalent to what saw in Latvia or Lithuania after their
accession to the EU. I imagine it is considerably easier for a Balt
to move to Ireland than it is for a Georgian to move to Moscow.
Mishiko
in Odessa
Now
that the myth has been swept away, we have just the man before us,
whose essence boils down to an idiosyncratic combination of
iconoclasm, vindictive incompetence, and Western cargo cultism.
Perhaps
the best real life metaphor for this was the demolition of a
Soviet-era monument to victory in the Great Patriotic War in Kutaisi,
in which 200,000 Georgians died. Not a monument to Stalin, or
anything like that – though it should be noted that Georgians are
far more partial towards
Stalin than are Russians – but just a simple victory monument. But
they couldn’t even get that right. When it was blown up, two people
– a mother and her eight year old daughter – were killed by the
flying concrete, and four others were seriously injured. This was
noticed, even in the West. As a Western cargo cultist in a position
of power you really have to fuck up pretty good to even get American
state media like
RFERL to
criticize you.
It
takes true skillz to make all three of these people laugh at you.
On
getting appointed to head Odessa oblast, despite having at most just
ever visited it as a tourist, Saakashvili
smarmily proclaimed “I ❤ Odessa.”
A whole range of other people were not that happy. Kolomoysky, the
oligarch-lord of Dnepropetrovsk, whose protege Igor Palitsa had
previously ruled Odessa and who is locked in a simmering conflict
with Poroshenko, said that Saakashvili would
betray Odessa to the Russians at
the first opportunity: “By the way, how many citizenships does
Saakashvili have? Would probably beat even me. American, Georgian,
Dutch, and now Ukrainian” (Kolomoysky, for the record, has three.
When a journalist told him that double citizenship is illegal in
Ukraine, Kolomoysky remarked that while that is true,there’s
nothing illegal about
triple citizenship on the lawbooks. A bona fide Odessan retort if
there ever was one). Lyashko, a caricature of a nationalist
politician who is also widely regarded as
a faggot amongst
all Ukrainians, including even his supporters (much more so for his
hystrionic grandstanding and violent denials than for the actual
details of his sexual orientation), and is also deeply at odds with
Kolomoysky, was
also against the
appointment: “Of all Ukraine’s 45 million citizens, not a single
one could be found to head Odessa oblast? … [Poroshenko] admitted
before the whole world that Ukrainians are unable to govern
themselves. Maybe we should get a President from abroad too?” Sure…
why not. Finally, Dmitry Medvedev, Russia’s PM and President at the
time of the South Ossetian War, undiplomatically remarked: “The
comedy show continues. Unhappy Ukraine…”
When
such a wide diversity of characters infuriates and/or amuses such a
wide and conflicting range of political forces, you know that the
whole thing is a pathetic face.
Both Western and Russian analysts
have linked Saakashvili’s appointment to the mounting blockade of
Transnistria, the breakaway Russo-Ukrainian population Moldovan
province. With Ukraine now on board as well as Moldova, its position
has become very precarious. Short of Russia establishing an air
corridor, the garrison within Transnistria is no longer able to
resupply. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is now an
additional potential flashpoint to an outbreak of overt hostilities
between Russia and Ukraine. In this sense, bearing in mind Odessa’s
position right next to Transnistria, Saakashvili’s resume is
exceptional.
But
in reality things are probably somewhat simpler. Odessa is the most
unstable province in terms of separatist sentiment along with
Kharkov, due to both demographics and memories of the
massacre of anti-junta activists in
May 2, 2014. Poroshenko needs someone who is able to crack heads if
need be, someone who is unrelated to Kolomoysky, his prime rival in
Ukraine’s game of thrones, and preferably also someone who as an
outsider would be unable to establish his own independent powerbase.
Finally, it is a solid “fuck you” to Russia, and fuck what
Georgia – one of Ukraine’s putative allies – makes of that.
This might not sound very rational to Western ears, but reason and
moderation has always been foreign to the Maidan ideologues. That is
why they have unleashed a civil war in place of dialog in the first
place. That is why they have claimed the not inconsiderable
achievement of alienating major figures in
the Polish security establishment –
traditionally, and understandably, highly anti-Russian – by their
maniac worship of Stepan Bandera and his murderous goons.
So
in this sense Saakashvili’s appointment is perfectly
understandable.
On
another level, however, it is also rather sad, and not just in the
way it blithely ignores Odessan opinions and lays bare the failure of
Ukrainian statecraft. Saakashvili might have been a cargo cultist,
obsessed with making the correct gestures – G.W. Bush Boulevards,
being the third largest contributor in terms of troop quantity in the
occupation of Iraq – to get cargo from the West and even
half-succeeding at it – Trump Towers in Tblisi, a few five star
hotels in Batumi, copious US military aid, etc. None of that cargo
made a difference when Saakashvili’s forces murdered Russian
peacekeepers in South Ossetia in the expectation that the US would
openly intervene on his side, only to face complete military defeat
and the permanent reversal of the Stalinist-era borders that gave
ethnically distinct Abkhazia and South Ossetia to Georgia in the
first place.
But
at least, in his defense, so far as cargo cults go, Saakashvili was
the real deal. How much more pathetic is it that Poroshenko’s
Ukraine is making a cargo cult of a cargo cultist?
Full
length HD video of the entire siege of Odessa by Ukrainian
Nationalists and The Right Sector. The US and EU media intentionally
muddied the waters by claiming that the victims who were primarily
middle aged and elderly women and men at the Trade Union Building
stage/tent display were the same people that fought violent street
battles in downtown Odessa against the Right Sector.
The
video above shows that these were two entirely different groups and
the people who were burnt alive, tossed from windows, beaten,
strangled, shot and even raped were actually peaceful protesters that
barricaded themselves inside the Odessa Trade Union Building after
they heard that the Right sector Neo-Nazis were advancing on their
protest encampment in large numbers after fighting and beating a
entirely different group of ethnic Russian Ukrainian protesters
downtown. The 4th video posted below proves this fact as it clearly
shows the mostly elderly and middle aged ethnic Russian Ukrainian
women and men attempt to gather their things and protect themselves
from the soon to be arriving hordes of extremely violent youth.
Take
a look around the tents....see the flowers and nice signage...see the
organization that went into that...the people that put up those
tents, placed those flowers and made those signs were the good people
of Odessa (who simply had Anti-Maidan views), they wanted to hang on
to their city the way it was.....those people were then pelted with
molotov cocktails, beaten and terrorized, at least one was raped and
another, who was pregnant, was strangled while most were burned to
death.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq1OhkuLzeA
Go
to the 2:29 mark to see the Right sector moving through the crowd on
their way to murder.
Go to the 4:08 mark to see the children
(most of them are under 26) performing the "Seig Heil" nazi
salute with their right arms raised and palms outstretched.
Go
to the 4:50 mark to see the newly government issued military helmets
and uniforms that don't fit very well on the Right sector thugs.
Go
to the 19:32 mark to witness their "leader" talking to the
Odessa chief of police while attempting to get authorization from
higher up to have the go ahead to attack the Trade Union Building
group of protesters. This call is made right before the siege upon
the building.
Go to the 46:31 mark to see teen girls
making molotov cocktails to throw at the elderly people in the
building.
At the 1:08:13 mark we see the large mass
of violent young thugs running towards the Trade Unions Building
after having overrun the separate group of ethnic Russian Ukrainian
protesters downtown. This is the moment of obvious disparity when it
comes to US and EU media coverage. This moment separates who the
victims were from who the US media stated that they were. This moment
also defines who is the aggressors. It is obvious that the killers of
the men and women in the Odessa trade Union building are indeed these
Right Sector youth and Ukrainian far right nationalists who are
backed by the United States and the European Union.
Finally,
go to the 1:12:36 mark to see the little boy and his mother in the
window of the building that these nazi bastards are setting fire
to.
At
the 5:44 mark in the video....the speaker can be clearly heard
calling the victims inside "Colorado Beetles"...this is
Right Sector language used to dehumanize the victims and imply they
must be stamped out...a typical fascist technique to refer to victims
as "animals or insects" thereby dehumanizing them. It was
used heavily during the Rwanda genocide when referring to victims as
"Cockroaches". 2) At the exact 6:10 mark hands are raised
with closed fists as they emit a unified shout. Once again typical
fascist behavior.
3) At the 6:14 mark...they once again
raise fists and shout a different unified shout (unified shouting
implies they have been indoctrinated to learn these shouts which is
typical, once again, of fascist groups (neo-nazi's that have received
indoctrinated training).
Now, please keep in mind that
this fascist ritualistic ceremony is taking place right after the
siege and burning of the building....the victims are still inside in
various poses of death. This is easily proven by the fact that the
pictures I link below are taken the very next day, in sunlight. So it
is relatively easy to ascertain that while these neo-nazi's, which
the US and UK support, are holding their "Victory" rally,
that they have no compassion or remorse for the people they just
killed....people who include a pregnant woman as shown by the photo
evidence I have linked here and a woman who is missing her pants with
her legs spread (she was raped before she was burned). Graphic
warning.
The
US media also blatantly mislead the American people in regards to the
fighting itself and the nature of the fire. A simple glance at the
Odessa HD video will prove beyond all doubt that the Right Sector and
nationalists that attacked the building met no resistance at the
Trade Union Building from the ethnic Russian Ukrainian
protesters.....the Right Sector conducted all violence against
primarily helpless women, men and even children as can verified by
starting the video at the 1:08:14 mark. This all took place while the
police looked on, as is clear to see from watching the video.
This
murder by the fascist nationalist neo-nazi's was conducted by the
coup imposed Ukrainian government who the US government is
supporting. This is what US citizens have paid for with their tax
dollars as shown below.
Headline
at link reads: Police say pro-Russians accidentally set
fatal Odessa fire with Molotov cocktails (LIVE UPDATES, VIDEO) Print
version May 3, 2014, 6:45 p.m. Ukraine — by Kyiv
Post
Only a week after The Odessa Massacre an
american CiFer, ex-marine, has gathered links and slaved through
hours and hours of video - he, practically, has done what the
journalists were supposed to do, - to prove the Guardian, BBC and the
rest were attempting to whitewash the atrocities. Check his
posts: Additional proof that the BBC and the mainstream
Western press lied when they said both sides threw the molotov's.
Here's what he wrote:
"I looked for 5 hours searching for
one video that showed anyone in the building throwing a molotov
cocktail as the BBC first reported and the rest of the MSM went along
with. I could not find a single one. They claimed a person named
Serhiy (what are the odds of that) told them a person threw the
molotov inside the building and didn't realize the window was closed.
This is absolutely ludicrous and an example of the pathetic reporting
that passes for "news" these days.
I did find the
video of the third floor fire starting. It is at the following link
and runs consecutively. You'll notice at exactly the 2 minute mark
the camera zooms in on the window where the fire begins. You'll also
notice that at the 2:02 mark you see an additional molotov cocktail
just miss the window. This is strong evidence that the window was
being targeted by individuals on the ground. Prior to this fire
starting there is no other fire on the third floor, therefore this is
most likely the cause of the third floor fire and lends credence to
the fact that the violent youth below burned those people
alive."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9AMjLBIliw#t=125
Now
witness how the BBC obfuscated the truth and contrived a false
narrative to be foisted upon their readers and viewers.
Here's
a link to the BBC article that quotes a random individual named
Serhiy and provides no evidence whatsoever to corroborate or back up
this 'Serhiy's' story
.http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27275383 BBC's
deceptive excerpt: But Serhiy said he saw someone "on the third
floor throw a Molotov cocktail through the closed window. However,
the glass didn't break and a fire started inside".People
struggled to get out of the smoke-filled floor.
Now
take a look at this little seen video of close ups of the victims
before they were killed. They are without a doubt non-violent people
and are definitely not the same group as the downtown group the US
and UK media associated them with. They are mainly women and men,
many middle aged and elderly. They are at the 6:35 mark and the 14:42
mark. The Right Sector start descending upon the group at the 15:23
mark. As proven above one of these peaceful protesters was a little
boy. It is for him that I post this thread today....in his
memory.https://youtu.be/_NPuiXez62c?t=6m35s
Link
to additional thread of comprehensive video and photo evidence
proving the Kiev regime and the Right Sector were responsible for
conducting the Odessa Massacre.
I
highly recommend that people download these videos to their hard
drives, as I know for a fact that You Tube (Google) has been removing
videos which showcase the Kiev regime and US/Western media lies. To
prove the point, here's an example of a thread of mine where they
removed 8 videos from 8 separate accounts which showed the massive
Novorossiya referendum turnout. All 8 were taken down the same day.
2
May, 2015 A
huge crowd, including the relatives of the victims, gathered in front
of the Trade Unions building and released black balloons and doves in
air. According to local media, the rally in Odessa was attended by
around 5,000 people.
The
people held banners reading “fascism won’t pass” and “no to
political repressions,” with some carrying photos of journalist
Oles Buzina and politician Oleg Kalashnikov, who were assassinated in
Kiev last month.
In
the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, some 2,000 people marched to honor the
victims of the tragedy in an action entitled ‘Kiev Remembers
Odessa.’
The
people were carrying photos of those who died in the fire, as well as
pictures of Buzina and Kalashnikov.
Several
arrests were made during the demonstration, with the Kiev police
saying that they “invited the men to a local police station”.
They were later released.

“The

In
Moscow, around 1,000 people gathered in front of the Ukrainian

“It

attended the event, told RIA-Novosti.
At
the end, the bell tolled 48 times to commemorate each victim of the

year’s confrontation unfolded, was cordoned off on Friday.
People
wishing to lay flowers in front of the Trade Unions building, where
dozens of activists met their deaths, have had to pass through metal
detectors.
The
streets are being patrolled by some 2,600 police officers, while 600
special service fighters are on alert, the Interior Ministry
reported. Unarmed volunteer activists were also called to Odessa.
“There
cannot be too much police presence. It's a demonstration of our
presence and strength to those who want to shake the situation in
Odessa. There will be a policeman in every square meter,” Ivan
Katerhinchuk, the chief of Odessa region's police force, told the
media.
Earlier
on Friday, police troops brought in from other regions and their
local colleagues gathered in front of the building. CCTV footage
showed dozens of trucks and patrol cars parked in rows and columns of
security forces marching in the streets.
Ukraine's
national security agency, the SBU, reported arresting dozens of
people suspected of “separatist activities” in Odessa in April.
On Friday, it reported busting a “separatist ring” consisting of
“former police and SBU officers, members of pro-Russian political
parties, Kulikovo field activists and criminals.” The agency said
it had arrested 20 ringleaders.
Those
who lost loved ones in Odessa say they are fearful of being involved
in politics.
“I
don't go to rallies. It's personal. My brother died and my father
died. As for what and how it happened and what political forces were
involved, we don't get into it. Our families' safety is what
important for us,” one of them Aleksandr Neogarov told RT.

Fiery
pogrom
On
May 2, 2014 an estimated 2,000 pro-Kiev activists, many of them
radical football fans, marched the streets of Odessa in support of
the post-coup government. They clashed with anti-government
activists, who were demanding the Odessa region renounce Kiev and get
greater autonomy from central government.
Running
street battles ensued with pro-government fighters sending their
opponents on the run. The clashes escalated when the radicals raided
a tent camp in the Kulikovo Field, where hundreds of peaceful
protesters had been holding a sit-in for weeks. The camp was torched
with Molotov cocktails and its occupants took refuge in the Trade
Union building.
However,
the building itself was set on fire and a baying crowd surrounded it.
Dozens of people died from smoke poisoning or from falling when they
tried to escape the fire. Some of those who managed to flee were
rounded up and beaten up by the radicals.
“We
saw people jumping out of the windows into the backyard. People were
running to them and hitting them on their heads,” Igor Nemodruk, a
survivor, told RT.
“They
were filming it from the crowd. We found [footage] later on the
internet. There were different people there. Some were beating us,
others were watching and laughing and others were taking pictures.”
According
to the official report, 48 people died, including 6 pro-government
activists and 42 anti-government activists. More than 200 were
injured. Some say the report underestimated the number of casualties,
with estimated fatality counts reaching as high as 116.
Twenty-two
people are being prosecuted in connection with the tragedy. Half of
these are still on the run. The investigators say police negligence
is to blame and reject evidence that Odessa law enforcers were
actually involved in orchestrating the crackdown on the opposition
camp.
Moscow
accuses the Ukrainian government of failing to investigate last
year's tragedy properly. Russia says foreign sponsors of the new
government in Kiev are not doing enough to pressurize Ukraine to
ensure that those responsible face justice.
The
building itself may soon be converted into the Ukrainian Navy's HQ or
a military hospital, Odessa Governor Igor Palitsa said on Saturday. The western media,which continues to lie about this event, equates the death of 6 Maidanites with the massacre of, not 48, but up to 116 by fascist forces
Odessa
(Ukraine) (AFP) - The southern Ukrainian port city of Odessa on
Saturday held separate ceremonies paying tribute to both pro-Russian
rebels and pro-Kiev militants who perished a year ago in a day of
violent clashes.
