This will document that the 'new Cold War' between the US and Russia did not
start, as the Western myth has it, with Russia's involvement in the
breakaway of Crimea and Donbass from Ukraine, after Ukraine - next door to
Russia - had suddenly turned rabidly hostile toward Russia in February 2014.
Ukraine's replacing its democratically elected

2014, by a  <http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/obamas-ukrainian-stooges/>
rabidly anti-Russian Government, was a violent event, which produced many
corpses. It's presented in The West as having been a 'revolution' instead of
a coup; but whatever it was, it certainly generated the 'new Cold War' (the
economic sanctions and NATO buildup on Russia's borders); and, to know
whether it was a coup, or instead a revolution, is to know what actually
started the 'new Cold War', and why. So, this is historically very
important.

Incontrovertible proofs will be presented here not only that it was a coup,
but that this coup was organized by the US Government - that the US
Government initiated the 'new Cold War'; Russia's Government reacted to
America's aggression, which aims to place nuclear missiles in Ukraine, less
than ten minutes flight-time from Moscow. During the 1962 Cuban Missile
Crisis, America had reason to fear Soviet nuclear missiles
<https://www.huffingtonpost.com/diana-nyad/cuba-so-close-you-could-a_b_65713
42.html> 103 miles from America's border. But, after America's Ukrainian
coup in 2014, Russia has reason to fear NATO nuclear missiles not just near,
but on, Russia's border. That would be catastrophic.

If  <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWkfpGCAAuw> America's successful
February 2014 overthrow and replacement of Ukraine's democratically elected
<http://washingtonsblog.com/2015/03/160-billion-cost-ukraines-viktor-yanukov
ych-spurned-eus-offer-20-nov-2013.html> neutralist Government doesn't soon
produce a world-ending nuclear war (World War III), then there will be
historical accounts of that overthrow, and the accounts are already
increasingly trending and consolidating toward a historical consensus that
it was a coup - that it was imposed by
<https://www.fort-russ.com/2015/02/the-paet-ashton-transcrip/> "somebody
from the new coalition" - i.e., that the termination of the then-existing
democratic (though like all its predecessors, corrupt) Ukrainian Government,
wasn't authentically a 'revolution' such as the US Government has contended,
and certainly wasn't at all democratic, but was instead a coup (and a very
bloody one, at that), and
<https://gpforecasts.wordpress.com/2014/02/28/yanukovychs-removal-was-uncons
titutional/> totally illegal (though backed by The West). 

The purpose of the present article will be to focus attention on precisely
whom the chief people are who were responsible for perpetrating this
globally mega-dangerous ('Cold-War'-igniting)
<http://washingtonsblog.com/2014/12/head-stratfor-private-cia-says-overthrow
-yanukovych-blatant-coup-history.html> coup - and thus for creating the
world's subsequent course increasingly toward global nuclear annihilation. 

If there will be future history, then these are the individuals who will be
in the docks for that history's harshest and most damning judgments, even if
there will be no legal proceedings brought against them. Who, then, are
these people?

Clearly, Victoria Nuland, US President Barack Obama's central agent
overseeing the coup, at least during the month of February 2014 when it
climaxed, was crucial not only in overthrowing the existing Ukrainian
Government, but in selecting and installing its rabidly anti-Russian
replacement. The 27 January 2014 phone-conversation between her and
America's Ambassador in Ukraine, Jeffrey Pyatt was a particularly seminal
event, and it was uploaded to youtube on 4 February 2014. I have discussed
<https://www.greanvillepost.com/2018/05/09/are-michael-isikoff-and-david-cor
n-cia-agents/> elsewhere that call and its significance. Nuland there and
then abandoned the EU's hope for a still democratic but less corrupt future
government for Ukraine, and Nuland famously said, on that call "Fuck the
EU," and she instructed Pyatt to choose instead the rabidly anti-Russian,
and far-right, Arseniy Yatsenyuk. This key event occurred 24 days before
Ukraine's President Victor Yanukovych was overthrown on February 20th, and
30 days before the new person to head Ukraine's Government, Yatsenyuk,
became officially appointed to rule the
<http://washingtonsblog.com/2014/06/ukraine-international-war-criminal-obama
-putin-2.html> now clearly fascist country. He won that official designation
on February 26th. However, this was only a formality: Obama's agent had
already chosen him, on January 27th.

The second landmark item of evidence that it had been a coup and nothing at
all democratic or a 'revolution', was the 26 February 2014
phone-conversation between the EU's Foreign Minister Catherine Ashton and
her agent in Ukraine investigating whether the overthrow had been a
revolution or instead a coup; he was Estonia's Foreign Minister, Urmas Paet,
and  <https://www.fort-russ.com/2015/02/the-paet-ashton-transcrip/> he told
her that he found that it had been a coup, and that "somebody from the new
coalition" had engineered it - but he didn't know whom that "somebody" was.
Both Ashton and Paet were shocked at this finding, but they proceeded
immediately to ignore that matter, and to discuss only the prospects for
Europe's investors in Ukraine, to be able to get their money back - their
obsession was Ukraine's corruption. Ashton told Paet that she had herself
told the Maidan demonstrators, "you need to find ways in which you can
establish a process that will have anti-corruption at its heart." So, though
the EU was unhappy that this had been a coup, they were far more concerned
to protect their investors. In any case, the EU clearly wasn't behind
Ukraine's coup. Equally clearly, they didn't much care whether it was a coup
or instead what the US Government said, a 'revolution'.

The network behind this coup had actually started planning for the coup
<http://washingtonsblog.com/2016/09/three-big-lies-pervade-americas-news-med
ia.html> back in 2011. That's when Eric Schmidt of Google, and Jared Cohen,
also now of Google but still continuing though unofficially as US Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton's chief person tasked to plan 'popular movements'
to overthrow both Yanukovych in Ukraine, and Assad in Syria.

Then,
<http://washingtonsblog.com/2015/02/new-video-evidence-americas-coup-ukraine
-means.html> on 1 March 2013, the implementation of this plan started: the
first "tech camp" to train far-right Ukrainians how to organize online the
mass-demonstrations against Yanukovych, was held inside the US Embassy in
Kiev on that date, which was over nine months before the Maidan
demonstrations to overthrow Ukraine's democratically elected President
started, on 20 November 2013.

The American scholar Gordon M. Hahn has specialized in studying the evidence
regarding whom the actual snipers were who committed the murders, but he
focuses only on domestic Ukrainian snipers and ignores the foreign ones, who
had been hired by the US regime indirectly through Georgian, Lithuanian and
other anti-Russian CIA assets (such as via Mikheil Saakashvili, the ousted
President of Georgia whom the US regime subsequently selected to become the
Governor of the Odessa region of Ukraine). Hahn's 2018 book Ukraine Over the
Edge states on pages 204-209: 

"Yet another pro-Maidan sniper, Ivan Bubenchik, emerged to acknowledge that
he shot and killed Berkut [the Government's police who were protecting
Government buildings] before any protesters were shot that day [February
20th]. In a print interview, Bubenchik previews his admission in Vladimir
Tikhii's documentary film, Brantsy, that he shot ahd killed two Berkut
commanders in the early morning hours of February 20 on the Maidan. .
Bubenchik claims that [on February 20] the Yanukovich regime started the
fire in the Trade Union House - where his and many other EuroMaidan fighters
lived during the revolt - prompting the Maidan's next reaction. As noted
above, however, pro-Maidan neofascists have revealed that the Right Sector
started that fire. . Analysis of the snipers' massacre shows that the Maidan
protesters initiated almost all - at least six out of a possible eight - of
the pivotal escalatory moments of violence and/or coercion. . The 30
November 2013 nighttime assault on the Maidan demonstrators is the only
clear exception from a conclusive pattern of escalating revolutionary
violence led by the Maidan's relatively small but highly motivated and
well-organized neofascist element."

Although Hahn's book barely cites the first and most detailed academic study
of the climactic coup period of late February, Ivan Katchanovski's poorly
written  <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2658245> "The
'Snipers' Massacre' on the Maidan in Ukraine", which was issued on 5
September 2015, Hahn's is consistent with that: both works conclude that the
available evidence, as Katchanovski puts it, shows that:

"The massacre was a false flag operation, which was rationally planned and
carried out with a goal of the overthrow of the government and seizure of
power. It [his investigation] found various evidence of the involvement of
an alliance of the far right organizations, specifically the Right Sector
and Svoboda, and oligarchic parties, such as Fatherland. Concealed shooters
and spotters were located in at least 20 Maidan-controlled buildings or
areas."

Hahn downplays US heading of the coup.
<http://www.microsofttranslator.com/bv.aspx?from=&to=en&a=http://nie.com.pl/
archiwum/tajemnica-stanu-tajemnica-majdanu/> But shortly before the coup,
the CIA secretly trained in Poland
<http://rinf.com/alt-news/breaking-news/meet-ukraines-master-mass-murderer-d
mitriy-yarosh/> the Right Sector founder/leader Dmitriy Yarosh ("Dmytro
Jarosz"), who headed Ukraine's snipers. So, even the Ukrainian ones were
working for the US

On 19 November 2017 was issued Gian Micalessin's "The hidden truth about
Ukraine - Part 1" 

& Part 2

Summarizing them here: Two Georgian snipers say Saakashvili hired them in
Tbilisi for a US-backed operation. But they know only about the "Georgian
Legion" part. They think it was patterned on Georgia's Rose Revolution. They
each got $1000 for the operation and flew to Kiev on 15 January and were
promised $5000 on return. (9:00) "We had to provoke the 'Berkut' police so
they would attack the people. By February 15th the situation [at the Maidan]
was getting worse every day. Then the first shots were fired." It was
February 15 or 16. Mamunashvili [Saakashvili's man] introduced them to "an
American military guy, . Brian Christopher Boyenger" a former "sniper for
the 101st Airborne Division" who "after Maidan he went to Donbass" to fight
in the "Georgian Legion" but during the coup-climax, the far-right
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andriy_Parubiy> Andriy "Parubiy came very
often," and "Brian always accompanied him" and also instructing there was
<https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b58_1474630174> Vladimir Parasyuk, one of
the leaders of the Maidan. The snipers were told not to aim but just to kill
people randomly, to create chaos. There were also two Lithuanian snipers in
the room. Some went down from the Ukraine Hotel to the second floor of the
Conservatory Building, balcony. "They started to take out the guns and
distributed them to each group." "Then I heard shots from the next room" It
lasted 15 minutes, then they were all ordered to escape.

On 13 February 2015 was telecast a German documentary,
<http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2h2hyv> "Maidan Snipers. German TV
expose. ARD Monitor. Eng Subs" in which one of the demonstrators said that
many of the bullets were fired from buildings controlled by the
demonstrators, but that "We were also shot at from the other direction."
However,
<https://web.archive.org/web/20140221071310/http:/www.kyivpost.com/content/k
yiv/ukraine-death-toll-rising-on-feb-20-with-at-least-42-people-killed-most-
by-gunshots-from-police-live-updates-video-337236.html> at least before 21
February 2014, police (Berkut) were seized by demonstrators and at least the
possibility exists that some of the Right Sector snipers were taking
positions in and especially atop some of the government buildings so as to
fire down into the crowd and seem to be firing from Yanukovych's side.
Gordon Hahn hasn't been able to verify any firing in February 2014 by the
Yanukovych government. Moreover:
<https://www.fort-russ.com/2015/02/the-paet-ashton-transcrip/> "they were
the same snipers, killing people from both sides."

On 1 February 2016 was posted to youtube a French documentary,
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfD_CaSIxmQ> "Ukraine - Masks of the
Revolution" which shows, from a meeting at Davos, at 48:00, Victoria Nuland,
the announcer trying to speak with her and saying to the audience, "The US
diplomat who came to support the Revolution, could she really ignore the
existence of the paramilitaries?"; 48:50 Larry Summers at a meeting in Kiev
during 10-12 September 2015 and then later at the
<https://yes-ukraine.org/en/Yalta-annual-meeting/2015/participants> "12th
YES Annual Meeting" saying, "Ukraine is an essential outpost of our
fundamental military interests"; 49:25: Petraeus also shown there and the
announcer says, "He also thinks that Ukraine is essential to block Putin."
Petraeus urges investment in Ukraine to block Russia; 51:00 McChrystal there
also urges arming Ukraine; 51:50 Nuland is there and the announcer says:
"The country that is most invested in Ukraine's future is the US" "She is
the architect of America's influence in Ukraine." Nuland says there at the
"YES" meeting, "We had a significant impact on the battlefield." But the US
regime blames Russia for that war.
