US working hard to derail Ukraine cease-fire

Here's Sec of State underling Jen Psaki telling us why the Hollande-Merkel cease-fire is a sham.

America's puppet Poroshenko saw with his own eyes, even while he was at peace talks in Minsk, Russian tanks crossing into Ukraine.

As is routinely the case, no on-the-ground journalists nor any of the vaunted NATO satellite imagery were able to verify these claims.

But the US-installed Ukrainian oligarch "president" says so, so a thousand Western media outlets immediately report Poroshenko's fantasies as the "truth."

Support for the US-engineered coup was luke-warm in Ukraine a year ago, even when the odds of success were even.

Almost a year later, when Poroshenko's multiple attacks on the "terrorists" in the East have routinely failed, when conscripts to Poroshenko's "army" are fleeing to Russia by the tens of thousands to avoid the draft, we continue to be inundated by ignorant propaganda about "Russian aggression."

Ukraine is a deeply troubled country; troubled mostly by the fact that her own oligarchs have raped it into the ground, but troubled doubly by the Western interlopers who promise EU access while delivering nothing of the sort.

As Western cheerleaders promote more violence in Ukraine, isn't it time for Ukrainians to make up their own minds?

Marie Harf; the ballsiest bullshitter at the State Department since Hilary Clinton

Jen Psaki's supposed understudy at State is showing chops that overshadow her mentor.

Check out her performance after Turkey's lame-duck Erdogan suggested that the US was stirring up protests in Egypt, Turkey and Ukraine.

“We are not behind any of the legitimate, democratic protests we’ve seen in any of those countries. So let’s be very clear that this is not about what the U.S. is doing, because we’re not doing anything. This is an internal Turkish matter. That’s where they need to focus,” U.S. State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf said during a daily press briefing on April 30.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan compared protests in Turkey, Egypt and Ukraineduring an interview with PBS’s Charlie Rose on April 28, claiming that the “same groups” from the U.S. were responsible for the unrest in those countries. 

Harf, however, said the claims were “ridiculous” and “not borne out by the facts on the ground.


Meanwhile, ten minutes with google turns up the following from the 2013 annual report of the National Endowment for Democracy, a fake NGO funded by the State Department which has spent billions stirring up protests anywhere the US doesn't like the government;

Number of anti-government groups funded in Turkey, 6.

In pre-coup Egypt, 22.

In Ukraine, a whopping 56!

That's a lot of "pro-democracy" anti-government activism being funded out of Washington, and remember, the NED is far from being the only conduit of US money.

Do you think Erdogan has a point?
