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.

What Is the Difference Between Kosovo & Donbass?

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

The U.S. has declared that Donbass is different. How it is different, nobody will say, because you are not supposed to ask, writes Vladimir Golstein.

There once was a country called Yugoslavia. It was a multi-ethnic, multi-religious federalist country, rather prosperous by Socialist standards, and consisting of proud people who stood up to Adolph Hitler and even Joseph Stalin.

Truths and lies about pledges made to Russia

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

by Guy Mettan,* Freelance journalist, Geneva

(17 February 2022) The information war surrounding tensions between NATO and Russia over Ukraine often leads to distortions of historical reality.

In particular, it is necessary to correct numerous articles that claimed that the pledge made by the United States to Gorbachev in 1991, according to which NATO “would not move an inch in the East” in exchange for German reunification and the withdrawal of Red Army troops from Eastern Europe, was a “myth” forged by the Kremlin in order to neutralise or even invade Ukraine.

This thesis is based on an article published in Foreign Affairs magazine in 2014, at the time of the Ukrainian crisis, and reaffirmed in a book published last November. Its author, Mary E. Sarote, is a member of the most influential think tank in US imperial politics, the Council on Foreign Relations, whose opinions are more propaganda than impartial study.

For this so-called “myth” could not be truer. It is essential to be aware of it if we want to both understand what is happening and find a negotiated solution to the conflict.

When protests aren’t progressive

When protests aren’t progressive

The best way for progressives to prevent such sentiments from snowballing into a movement that actually could win power is to take an approach rooted in humility. Talk to the protesters, listen to their grievances, promise to discuss options for addressing them with elected and appointed officials.

Such humility will come naturally to a politician hoping to represent the broadest possible coalition of working-class voters. It will appear impossible to someone convinced that every citizen of a certain socioeconomic stratum ought rightly to be an automatic ally and contributor to the present-day iteration of the progressive political project.
