Oligarchs
Because the Americans would never do that…
I don’t think anyone is surprised to learn that the new ‘Maidan’ government in the Ukraine has appointed a handful of oligarchs to rule over industry-rich, and largely pro-Russian, eastern regions. Nor were folks surprised to hear that one of the first delegations the West sent to ‘Kyiv’ were a handful of bankers “economic reformers“.
It may turn your stomach to read that the new nationalist government, who seem like a bunch of ‘neo-Nazis’ from Central Casting, is now attacking the Ukrainian riot police for doing their job. The junta in Kyiv is considering making dual citizenship and being politically active punishable by 10 years in jail; this new law comes just as Russia began to provide sanctuary for Berkut (riot police) and other Ukrainian refugees by offering dual citizenship. Illegalization of politically-active dual citizens is a move aimed at liquidating opposition to the Kyiv regime. American activists take note, just like with drones, you’re next.
A few weeks ago I wrote how Mikhail Bulgakov distrusted Ukrainian Nationalism in the 1910s, because he saw it was a tool of Bolshevism, the internationally-funded movement that had just eaten Russia. He thought that the nationalists’ foolishness would guarantee a future of debt and backwardness for generations of Ukrainians. I predicted how modern nationalist tools would hand over Ukraine to Western bankers, social engineers…
And look what happened! Maidan Nationalists, do you like millionaires messing in your politics?
The self-proclaimed government in Kiev has appointed two of Ukraine’s richest men to govern large industrial regions in the defiant east. One of the reasons for the Maidan protest was the influence the rich have on politics in the country.
Do you feel that dual citizenship should be illegal?
The newly-appointed Dnepropetrovsk governor is Igor Kolomoysky, Ukraine’s third-wealthiest man, with an estimated fortune of $2.4 billion. He co-owns the informal commercial group Privat, which includes Ukraine’s largest bank Privatbank, which Kolomoysky heads, as well as assets in the oil, ferroalloys and food industries, agriculture and transport.
A former ally of Yulia Tymoshenko, Kolomoysky reportedly had a falling out with her and refused to finance her election campaign in 2010, which the ex-prime minister subsequently lost to Yanukovich. Kolomoysky was reported to be a principal sponsor of the UDAR party, which is one of the three fueling the street campaign to oust Yanukovich. Kolomoysky has a dual Ukrainian-Israeli citizenship and controls his business empire from Switzerland.
If I was a Ukrainian Nationalist right now, I’d turn my lynch mob on the American and Israeli ‘military advisors’ who just sold my brothers’ sacrifice to the highest bidder. But if the nationalists were smart, they wouldn’t have worked with these agentsprovocateurs in the first place. Let’s hope that Russia finds a way to keep the peace… again.
