The Ukrainian Orange Revolution of 2004-2005 Turns Red with Blood and Guts on December 8,  2013!

Call this “The Blood Orange Revolution”!

On December 8, 2013:  100,000 Ukrainian Patriots,  consisting primarily of western-oriented youth,  businessmen,  workers and intellectuals stormed into the streets of the capitol city,  Kiev.   There they did what any revolutionary group might do for time in memorial,  they toppled the statue of the ersatz icon of the 1917 Russian Bolshevik Revolution—Lenin.

Of course,  like many revolutionary poseurs,  Lenin,  a man of few talents and a masterful ability to deceive and betray anyone in his own way, was in fact a German spy who was transported into the St Petersburg on the eve of a revolution created by the Russian navy.    Lenin became the dreaded symbol of the ‘bolshevik system’ which spawned the greatest mass killer of the 20^th century –Stalin. 

Contrary to popular Israeli/Jewish propaganda the greatest genocide in the 20th century was not the iconic trademarked ‘Holocaust’  created by Hitler but the Stalinist purges from 1933 through WWII and then up until the end of the Soviet Communist system in the 1990’s.    Many of us who had participated in the regime change of communism estimated that Stalin and his Boshevik henchmen  butchered over 50 million Jews,  Christians,  Central Asians,  Muslims,  Orthodox Christians and above all,  Ukrainians.   In 1933 alone the ex- Soviet,   Shoe Banging Secretary General Nikolai Khrushchev ordered the deaths of 10 million Kulaks - Ukrainians who refused to give up their private farms to the Soviet collective in only a few months to a year.

  The point?
  This painful stigmata of Russian hegemony over Ukraine  casts a somber shadow over the political dynamics of East and Western Ukraine.   Boiled down to a very basic  tenet the ongoing revolution arises from between the more progressive members of society that want to see the Ukraine enter the EU.   Their reason is simple.    They want to eviscerate any remembrance of Russian/Soviet dominance over their country.    In the process they want to restructure their antiquated society,  rife with corruption,  ex-KGB oligarchs who stole from the Ukrainian  people and are still extracting the greatest amount of profits from the hard working ordinary people.

The eastern part of the Ukraine is populated by older people with more conservative pro-Russian,  pro-Soviet  attitudes.   Their livelihood depends on dilapidated industries  controlled by ex-KGB agents.  These eastern Ukrainians want to remain in the fantasy world of repression,  pensions,  and worthless work that just allow them to collect a check.

The Ukraine leader,  President Viktor Yanukovich,   is truly nothing more than a Russian Maruschka Doll,  manipulated by Vladimir Putin,  ex-KGB officer under Marcus Wolfe and Andropov.    From my perspective,   I feel that the Western Ukrainians have no other choice but to depose their puppet President and deny Putin's access to one of the largest wheat baskets in Western Europe.

  As clever as Putin thinks he is,  he really is at the mercy of his real Intelligence Handlers –THE CIA.    Unbeknownst to the world and most Russians and Ukrainians,  the CIA correctly placed a strong man as the head of the new Russia.

  The reason?

 

Because I and some others had failed at understanding how ineffective Yeltsin and Gorbachev had been as strong Russian leaders.    We in America wanted a democracy.    But a democracy which is run by an alcoholic [Yeltsin]  and eviscerated by tougher KGB operatives than Gorbachev,   led Russia into an unsustainable period of economic/political chaos.    By now you know all too well that political vacuums will always be filled by those who believe,  like Stalin,  that power comes from the ‘barrel of the gun’.

  Q:  why is Putin the real target in this Ukrainian political/economic imbroglio?

  A:  Almost all the Russian Gazprom pipelines transit through the Ukraine on the way to Europe.

So this seemingly  ideological revolution,  as in the case of the American Revolution,  is about who controls the real wealth,  assets, and power in one’s own country.   

England learned the American colonists would not tolerate external tariffs,   interference with American trade overseas nor their basic liberties.    Similarly,  the Western Ukrainians who have amassed in size up to 300,000 people on December 1, 2013,  will not,  under any conditions,  tolerate the Russian hegemony over their own ability to make a living or practice whatever religion,  sexual orientation that these brave people desire to choose.   As for the Eastern Part of the Ukraine,   they will have to bear the scars of the Stalin purges in their collective memories while they cower beneath the false promises of job security and political freedom.

Here is where I have to give Putin a gentle reminder.

[1]  Time is not on your side.

[2]  USA can ship at any given time,  any amount of gas and oil because the USA is a net exporter of these commodities. 

[3]  Gazprom and Russian oil/gas in general can be shorted on the world markets by any number of unidentified speculators or mean-spirited anti-Putin devotees besides Soros.

[4]  Putin knows all too well that his tenure depends on only one factor—the price of oil which we and the our allies can control on the world markets.    If we desire, we can quickly depress the price of oil due to our surplus and the addition of LNG  [Liquified Natural Gas] terminals in EU.

[5]  Please remember that the start of the Russian Revolution in 1905 started with Russian sailors who had travelled around the world and realized that Russia was too backward and repressive under Tzar Nicholas I.    Similarly,   millions of Russians and Ukrainian citizens have travelled all over the world and have tasted the beauty of entrepreneurship without KGB corruption. 

[6]  Putin:  Be flexible like your grandfather who served as the chief cook for Czar Nicholas and his family … as well as Stalin.

[7]  Please remember that in 1989 we,   Americans were able to facilitate major revolutions across Central and Eastern Europe from East Germany to Bulgaria,  Poland all within five to seven months.

[8]  Putin: You may have turned around the Orange Revolution back to the color Red.

But there is a new color that might frighten you even more than orange or red and that is something that I would term……”THE BLOOD ORANGE REVOLUTION”!!
Vsyovo Harishovo!!
 Go in good health!
