CIA Intervention in Ukraine Has Been Taking Place for Decades (Archived)

As the conflict continues on it’s fourth day, the disinformation campaign is out in full swing. With left wing pundits advocating for a full scale US intervention, and the corporate hacks of the political right rejecting such an idea. This has led to an onslaught of misinformation and even, outright propaganda over all viral media as well as television. But underneath the surface of rancid, media obfuscation lies an even far more nefarious history. The Central Intelligence Agency’s history with Ukraine spans decades, where one covert program (Operation Aerodynamic) saw to exploit the anti-Soviet Ukrainian resistance groups that were late found to have conducted war crime atrocities. The primary contact in the operation involved, Mykola Lebed, a Ukrainian nationalist who was alleged to have been collaborating with Nazi Germany after he was freed from prison, in 1939 as Germany invaded Poland, for the murder of Polish Interior Minister Bronislaw Pieracki in 1934. Lebed worked for the CIA in American where he gathered intelligence on the Soviet Union as late as into the late 1960s.

Fast forward to the current period, and the CIA activities involving far right neo nazi groups, such as the Azov Battalion, have been a large covert operation meant to combat Russian military in the disputed territories of Luhansk and Donetsk. The program, which started in 2015, is based at an undisclosed facility in the Southern U.S., according to some of those officials. By 2014, the CIA’s Ground Division began training Ukrainian guerillas after Russia annexed Crimea, the program began to expand under the Trump administration, and currently the program augmented under the current Biden administration. In this video i expand on the CIA influence which span decades with the government of Ukraine.

Socialism and Democracy in the DPRK

Socialism and Democracy in the DPRK

Bourgeois media continues to portray the DPRK as a totalitarian nightmare, populated exclusively by a pacified and frightened citizenry. As I have shown, this is far from the case. The north Korean people have a far greater say in how their lives are structured than do citizens of even the most “democratic” capitalist countries. They are not forced to adhere to a Party Line handed down from on high, but rather are encouraged to participate in the running of society. The DPRK is an excellent example of socialism, which is focused on developing the working class-and humanity-to its full potential. It is only through socialism that we can realize our collective dream of a free and prosperous society. The DPRK is marching towards this dream, even in the face of unparalleled imperialist aggression. It is partly on this basis that we should pledge solidarity with the country. To reiterate the point I made in my last post, however, the DPRK should be supported regardless of whether it is itself socialist. It is standing against imperialism, which is the greatest enemy of socialism. Indirectly or directly, the DPRK works in the interests of socialism.
