Drooling, doofus Kerry adds new meaning to the word "hypocrisy"

The irony could not be more bitter - or sickening. US Secretary of State John was photographed laying wreaths in Kiev this week and offering "heartfelt" condolences for those killed during recent violent street clashes in the Ukrainian capital.

It now turns out that the killing of protesters and police officers was carried out by covert snipers working for the new Western-backed junta that seized power in Kiev. Kerry was thus laying flowers in memory of victims who were shot on the orders of the very people whom the West has been sponsoring.

Disgusting U.S. swift boat traitor, hypocrite John Kerry

Dozens of people were fatally wounded in Kiev's Maidan Square last month during clashes between security forces loyal to the then incumbent President Viktor Yanukovych.

Western media uncritically, or worst knowingly, heightened claims by the organizers of the demonstrations against Yanukovych that the casualties were inflicted by police officers shooting into the crowds.

At the time there were grounds for suspicion that all was not what it seemed. The surge in killings was not in keeping with the relatively restrained conduct of security forces in Kiev during nearly three months of unprecedented street violence. But the outpouring of condemnation from Western politicians amplified by Western news media against the Ukrainian authorities had the effect of piling the political pressure on the Yanukoyvch government to capitulate.

The new administration in Kiev, led by so-called interim Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, has now been dubbed the legitimate government of Ukraine by Washington and the European Union.

Revelations about the covert snipers have since been disclosed in a leaked phone call between EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Estonia's foreign minister Usmar Paet.

Fascist EU whore Catherine Ashton

In the phone conversation dated February 25, and reported by Russia Today this week, Paet is heard to say: "There is now stronger and stronger understanding that behind the snipers, it was not Yanukovych, but it was somebody from the new [Western-backed] coalition."

Ashton replies: "I think we do want to investigate. I mean, I didn't pick that up, that's interesting. Gosh."

This is by no means the first such evidence that violence in Kiev was orchestrated.

There is already ample proof that the US and EU were covertly working to agitate protests against the Ukrainian government. For three months, Western politicians have been issuing statements to whip up demonstrations. Western officials have paraded in Kiev with fascist elements and given the provocateurs legitimacy to carry out outrageous acts of violence against government people and property that would not be tolerated for a second back in their own countries.

Obama has decades-old ties to the CIA

The involvement of the American CIA and its various offshoots, such as the National Endowment for Democracy, has also been well documented in Ukraine going back to at least the early 1990s.

The precipitous deployment of organized violence by "protesters" from late November onwards, allegedly as a result of the Yanukovych government rejecting an EU trade pact, also bears the hallmark of an externally driven regime change operation.

A decisive tipping point was reached against Yanukovych with the surge in killings among protesters - apparently by police gunfire – during the last week of February. Yanukovych had already signed a "national unity deal" on February 21 with opponents promising constitutional reforms.

But that deal was not enough for his opponents who wanted Yanukovych out of office altogether.

In the wake of the street violence, US vice president Joe Biden reportedly phoned Yanukovych to tell him that it was game over. His efforts at cutting a deal were "a day late and a dollar short," said the voice from the White House. Yanukovych then fled to Russia within days of Biden's phone call.

The latest evidence of orchestrated violence in Kiev for political ends - the definition of terrorism - adds to Russia's claims that what the West has championed as "a people's revolution" is in actuality nothing but a Western-backed coup d'état by terrorism.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin this week said that the new regime occupying the government offices in Kiev is not legitimate. It represents an illegal seizure of power by violence.

That is why Russia is right to not recognize the usurpers in Kiev and to take security measures to protect ethnic Russians living in Ukraine and to defend its vital interests in the Crimean Peninsula. The unelected Western-backed regime, which Western media propagandize as "the fledgling government of Ukraine", comprises neo-Nazis who detest Russians and who have publicly stated their intention to commit the worst kind of violence against ethnic Russians and any other people whom they deem to obstruct their fascistic program of governance.

None of this vile demagoguery has deterred Western so-called democratic leaders from embracing the regime in Kiev. Far from it; this week saw British foreign secretary William Hague in Kiev shaking hands with Yatsenyuk, followed by US top diplomat John Kerry laying his grotesque commemorative wreaths to the dead.

Kerry also announced that he was bearing $1 billion in loan guarantees to support the junta in Kiev. The austerity-racked EU is somehow finding the coffers to offer $15 billion. These "loans" are being welcomed with open arms by the Western-backed junta in Kiev. They will enrich Western capitalists and the Ukrainian elite, like Yatsenyuk and the leaders of the Kiev storm troopers, while throwing the majority of Ukrainians into American and EU-style poverty.

MSM swine shill for Obama/CIA masters

Another condition for the Western financial bribery, as disclosed this week by the new Ukrainian ambassador to Belarus, Mykhailo Yeshel, is that Ukraine will allow US ballistic missiles on to its territory - right on the border with Russia.

What we are witnessing in Ukraine is an imperialist conquest by Washington and its European stooge governments - hand in fist with fascist boot boys.

Russia has every right to be concerned and to take action. Yet, ironically, this week Western media are falling over themselves to tell us that Russia has invaded Ukraine in "a brazen act of aggression".

No wonder the world seems chaotic when such barefaced Western lies and deception about reality are being churned out. Western "churnalism" at its best.
