Euromaidan and crying stars
A well-known supporter of Hollywood democracy, George Clooney, was on the list of those who sympathize with the Maidan, among the first. The actor was not too lazy to record a video message in support of the protesters, which was then posted on the Batkivshchyna party website. is he сказал:
According to the actor, Tymoshenko is a political prisoner:
It should be noted here that the authorities of the West (that is, not Clooney, but the White House) look at Kiev rather carnivorous than with admiration.
The other day in the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a meeting devoted to the Ukrainian theme. There, in addition to the specially arrived Brzezinski, the famous “friend” of the USSR and Russia, such prominent State Department officials as V. Nuland and T. Melia spoke.
Victoria Nuland, Deputy Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia, paired with Tom Melia, Deputy Head of the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor of the State Department, to pour water on the democracy mill, declaring the “aspirations” of the Ukrainian people (not Liver’s cookies, but, Ms Nuland ?), about "fundamental human rights" and about any other things that has nothing to do with the matter, since there are no human rights either in the USA, or in Zimbabwe, or on Mars. You can read more about the speeches of State Department employees in The American Conservative, in an article by James Cardin, extremely dissatisfied with the White House, who worked as adviser to the presidential commission on bilateral Russian-American relations at the State Department in 2011-2012 (in Russian, the article was published in "InoSMI").
When Nuland ended up with propaganda, Mr. Melia took the stage. And this is what dissatisfied James Cardin writes:
And then comrade Cardin singled out five central theses in the speeches of Nuland and Melia:
1. In the conflict that unfolds on the Maidan, the national interests of the United States are at stake.
2. Without financial and moral support from the United States, the Ukrainian opposition will probably not succeed.
3. Russia acted treacherously, offering the Ukrainian government a more attractive package of financial assistance than the one made by the European Union and the IMF.
4. Protesters on the Maidan act on behalf of the entire Ukrainian people, and most of these people themselves want Ukraine to join the European Union.
5. The outcome of the current crisis will affect the development of Russia. If Ukraine chooses a European future, then Russia will follow its example.
With these ridiculous theses (especially about "perfidious"), which can come to mind only to State Department employees who have long believed in their own propaganda, the chairman of the committee Robert Menendez, the committee member Senator Bob Corker, Senators Chris Murphy and John McCain (these recently visited in Kiev).
No wonder Robert Gates, the former US Secretary of Defense, in his book of memoirs, The Debt criticizes Congress for incompetence and propaganda, and senators calls "stupid" and "hypocritical" egoists. Members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, in his opinion, are nasty and stupid rude. And the White House officials are no better. Vice-President Joe Biden ex-minister considers the "talker", which only makes that makes political mistakes.
This very power, as J. Clooney obviously believes, looks from America to Kiev with a “look full of immense admiration.” “We wish you the power that you want,” the actor says. Probably, Ukraine “wants” to put Klitschko in power, who, in the company of people described by R. Gates, would have looked quite differently (only a little bit of English is left). Clooney is known to be the friend of both Klitschko brothers.
This actor is echoed by another - A. Schwarzenegger, also a great connoisseur of democracy.
Iron Arnie recorded a video message in support of “Euromaidan” and posted it on YouTube. In the 11 second clip, the actor says:
Peaceful fight? It seems that Árni didn’t even ask what was happening in Ukraine.
Here is a short summary. Especially for you, Terminator.
Unknown persons on behalf of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army posted in the “Facebook” appeal, which claimed responsibility for the murder of policeman 24 in January in Kiev near the hostel “Berkut”, the channel "RT".
The appeal says that the killing of the law enforcement officer is “revenge for the killing of protesters, torture of prisoners and mockery of them”. The avengers accused the police of turning it into a “punitive apparatus of the occupation regime”.
The authors of the letter issued an ultimatum: they demanded the arrest of the entire top of the Ukrainian government. The police should add up weapon, remove the insignia and go to the subordination of Maidan.
If these requirements are not met, the UPA threatens to deploy the underground struggle and regularly kill the police.
In Kherson, one of the policemen died, who was stabbed by members of the local Euromaidan, reports "Lenta.ru" with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
According to the ministry, in the evening of January 27 a group of activists attacked three law enforcement officers at the corner of Kulik and Mira streets. Two policemen were hospitalized in serious condition. One of them had to remove the spleen. In the second - penetrating wound of the chest. A third was stabbed in the knee and shoulder.
Read Time magazine, Arnie! In the article “Right-wing bandits seize a liberal protest in Ukraine” (“Time,” the United States; the source of translation is "InoSMI") Simon Shuster notes that the pro-European protests in Kiev have taken a “bad turn”: right-wing groups are gaining strength. Quote:
The gang, calling itself "Spilna Right," or "Common Cause," is one of about ten dubious organizations fighting for a place under the sun, if not for frank leadership, in an uprising against President Viktor Yanukovych. Among these groups are right-wing radicals, football hooligans, veterans, and companies swinging bits of thugs. To the chagrin of the more recognized opposition type of world boxing champion Vitali Klitschko, they became the most striking phenomenon of this revolution. Anyone who will be involved in resolving the Ukrainian political crisis will most likely take into account the role of these groups. However, they are becoming increasingly difficult to control. ”
Against these guys, Klitschko really looks like a dove of peace. Yes, only recently it turned out that Klitschko - sort of like an American. Under current Ukrainian legislation, a person who has the right of permanent residence in another country and the status of a tax resident in that country is not considered to be a resident of Ukraine. This provision may prevent Vitali Klitschko from taking part in the 2015 presidential election of the year. It turns out that Vitali Klitschko is a tax resident of the United States, as well as Germany.
According to Inpress.ua, the leader of "UDAR" is a tax resident of the United States of America: he submitted a tax return containing the United States Social Security Number (SSN).
This number is used by the US government to identify its citizens and residents and record their income. According to the submitted declaration, similar numbers are available and members of the Klitschko family - a wife and children. This writes the publication of "Law and Business."
According to the declaration, Vitaly earned almost 2012 million dollars in 12 year. In the budget of Ukraine, Mr. Klitschko did not pay a penny.
Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the "Batkivschiny" Vladimir Polochaninov admitted that Klitschko may have problems with the registration of a presidential candidate in connection with the adoption by the Parliament of changes to the Tax Code.
Schwarzenegger and Clooney are joined by Depeche Mode guitarist Martin Gore. This one directly admitted that he is not following the news. And yet he came out in support of Euromaidan. No, he didn’t speak in Kiev, but in Amsterdam. Gore сказал:
What Ukraine deserves is popularly explained by Joe Biden. That same “talker” whom Robert Gates hates with all his soul. The theme taken by Biden led then to the climax of Barack Obama.
The United States considers the resignation of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the repeal of laws from 16 by January by the Parliament and calls for the formation of a pro-European government in the country, the White House said following a second telephone conversation in recent days between US Vice President Joe Biden and President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych. He writes about it correspondent RIA "Novosti" Alexey Bogdanovsky.
Biden urged Yanukovych to work with the opposition. The new government should “lead Ukraine in the European direction, strengthening democratic institutions and carrying out reforms necessary for economic prosperity”.
What kind of prosperity this will be and what the European direction looks like, Obama has already explained.
Speaking with an annual message to Congress, the US president spoke for the first time about the situation in Ukraine. This writes Sergey Semakov (Utro.ru).
B.H. Obama stated that he supports the Ukrainian people in their desire to peacefully express their protest. “We are in favor of the fact that everyone has the right to freely express his opinion and state his position on the future of the country,” he quotes the BBC.
Riots and rallies on the streets of Ukrainian cities, according to Obama, talk about the development of democratic freedoms in the country. Obama compared Ukraine with Myanmar and Tunisia itself: the United States actively supports the building of democracy there.
So here is a sample of the Ukrainian future! Tunisia! By the way, judging by the news, Tunisia really achieved a lot on the democratic path - even the other day, it equated constitutionally a man and a woman. True, the president of this country is strictly obliged to be a Muslim, but, they say, Obama is inclined to Islam.
A whole wave of support for Euromaidan was caused by his imprudent statement by V.V. Zhirinovsky. He recently appreciated the performances of the "maydanschikov" in his expressive manner:
The harsh words of Vladimir Volfovich were followed by the reaction of a number of so-called cultural figures of our time.
In Kiev arrived artist Dzhigurda, who writes Alexei Usov ("New Region"), admitted that he flew because of the speech Zhirinovsky. The journalist quoted the sex showman:
Then Vadim Stepantsov appeared before the eyes of the people of Kiev. This is a “courtly mannerist” and the leader of the Bakhyt-Kompot group. He performed for “maydanschikov” potpourri on the theme “Oh, frost, frost” and a few songs from the repertoire of his group.
The artist Nikas Safronov was also noted on the Maidan. He said from the scene:
"Arguments and Facts" cite the words of Lia Akhedzhakova. She, too, "whole-heartedly" supports Maidan:
While someone is crying, we add from ourselves, another pays. It was not without reason that Melia mentioned above counted and announced how many US dollars were “invested” in Ukraine. Recall about 5 billion to "help", of which 815 million went "to finance democracy and exchange programs." And 184 million dollars was spent "on funding programs aimed at supporting civil society, human rights ..."
Truly: “How expensive democracy is!”
To support euromaidan profits and Belarusian punks. On the Euromaidan stage, the group “Lapis Trubetskoy” performed several songs. The soloist of the group Sergey Mikhalok stated:
Ukrainians were also taught to Western values by such a prominent politician as Guido Westerwelle, the German foreign minister. The one whom Lukashenko call either pink or blue, adding: “... it’s better to be a dictator than blue.”
As transmits RIA News", after the December meeting in Kiev with the leader of “Batkivshchyna” Arseniy Yatsenyuk and the leader of “UDAR” Vitaly Klitschko Westerwelle told journalists:
In a company with Westerwelle and the cultural part of the West, there was also a porn star, and now a model Sasha Gray. She was not in Kiev. Zvezda supported the actions of the Ukrainian opposition in Kiev via Twitter and Facebook, where wrote:
(“Stay strong, Kiev!”)
The leader of the group "DDT" Yuri Shevchuk did not go to "Twitter", but directly to Echo of Moscowwhere, among other things, he explained why such protests appeared at all:
More Euromaidan supported the Russian group "Tokyo", leader of the group "Night Snipers" Diana Arbenina, soloist of the Ukrainian group "Okean Elzy" Svyatoslav Vakarchuk and leader of the group "Vopli Vidoplyasova" Oleg Skrypka.
Yes, and more. Euromaidan was supported by the glamor king Sergei Zverev. Writes "TSN", he came to Kiev to make sure that there is a real revolution here, and even to take part in it. But at the last moment, apparently, he changed his mind. Instead, he recorded a video posted on a blog. Zverev said:
To summarize The collection of “stars” supporting the Maidan is, of course, impressive: from the King of Glamor to the porn actress, between whom Klitschko’s friend Mr. Clooney, M. Gore, who doesn’t read the news, flashed in the video, and it would be better to consult Stephen Segal on geopolitical issues.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government has resigned, and the United States, according to unconfirmed rumors, is buying a new batch of cookies: Kiev will have to taste the Tunisian democracy ...
