Eastern Ukraine Needed This

EASTERN UKRAINE NEEDED THIS!

They have finally been shaken out of their silence. Now they see that they, themselves have to solve their problems. Regardless of what the outcome is, the conversation has begun among people who for 70 years have been scared silent. (See “The Whisperers”) Good for them. Good for Donbass.

Here is today’s demonstration in Luhansk, and (holy crap) one of them is speaking perfect Ukrainian. They are organizing to help their local police.

Meet the Kharkiv Separatists

kharkiv-4-13-2014

Facebook posting shared by Kharkiv sociologist Oleksiy Musiyezdov, April 13, 2014, posted by an unknown man (based on what the original says in Russian). Translation by William Risch:

From Kharkov: Today I got to talk over a cup of coffee with some guys with St. George ribbons. I had to present myself as an activist “for Russia.” I was simply interested in finding out what was going on in their heads. The guys are young, around age 20. Kharkov residents. They were standing along Kulinichevskaia Street, and there were separatists all around, with red flags and other flags like them. I went up to them, and I started talking with them, one word at a time. I asked them why they only come to help us on the weekends, and they said that when they get orders to come, they come. Then we started talking about pay, because it’s hard to do this stuff for free. They said our people get 150 grivnias a day, and the Russians, mostly people from Kursk, get 450 rubles, and commanders get from 100 to 500 US dollars a day. There are guys who went through training in Russia, and there are “advisors” from Russia.

Some kind of homosexual politician wants his town to leave Russia and join Estonia, for so-called “economic” reasons.

Russian Border Town Seeks To Join Estonia

Ivangorod City Council Deputy Yury Gordeyev wrote the letter and sent the petitions to Moscow and Tallinn with the signature of some 660 citizens of Ivangorod, which has a population of about 11,000.

Gordeyev told RFE/RL the petition states that since Ivangorod and some other districts along the Russian-Estonian border were part of Estonia 300 years ago, the town should return to Estonian jurisdiction.

Ivangorod is on the eastern bank of the Narva River, just opposite the Estonian city of Narva.

Gordeyev said he has no hope that Russia’s border with Estonia will be redrawn in the petitioner’s favor. He said the aim of the petition is to draw attention to the town’s problems.

I expect more of this. Control by brutality is of limited effectiveness in the age of the internet.

Update on Luhansk and Donetsk (Ukrainian perspective)

LUHANSK: mostly good news

50% of the police resigned, 50% remained to serve Ukraine. All available firearms and ammunition have been distributed to police officers, the armories are empty (just the slightest dissonance with Crimea and Donetsk). All sensitive materials have been safely hidden. All roads in Luhansk Oblast have been closed off by checkpoints of pro-Ukrainian police forces.
The bad news. The crime rate jumped 300%, since all police forces are guarding their regional department or the checkpoints. Besides, the rapid unemployment growth also contributed to increased criminal activity. The local SBU [Security Service of Ukraine] office was assaulted and captured by the Sokil, Berkut [special police units], and the Afghanistan veterans, who tried to destabilize the situation to receive the same perks as their buddies in Crimea.

DONETSK: the situation is extremely adverse.

Almost all of the local police betrayed Ukraine. All (or almost all) checkpoints are controlled by hostiles. A full scale invasion is in progress. There are at least several sabotage and intelligence GRU groups, up to a total of battalion in strength.

If the situation is not changed drastically within 24 hours, Ukrainian border troops and the army will not be able to hold off a frontal assault of the Russian forces on the border (their lines of communications have been basically cut off). There are house calls to people with pro-Ukrainian opinions (information from the backwoods is sketchy).

Ukrainian paratroopers from around Dnipropetrovsk have indeed been moved to Slaviansk area, but their CO has not been doing much of what must be done, which reminds more and more of the Crimean events.

The good news. There are various groups of people who do not want to become Putin’s subjects and are putting up a fight, including the use of firearms. At least 10 hostiles were killed today. Three independent sources confirm that three unknown persons approached a checkpoint, killed all hostiles with automatic weapon fire and promptly departed. Volunteering the Donetsk way.

The people I spoke to have no knowledge of other signs of the anti-terrorist operation in the region. A big pro-Ukrainian rally is planned on 17 April in Donetsk. Some say there will be bloodshed and massacre, while others see it as a sort of chance.

I didn’t know it at the time I originally posted this, but the man talking is the notorious “Bezler” who posted a video of himself apparently killing Ukrainian POWs and threatened to kill BBC reporters during their interview. It is believed that the forces which shot down MH17 were under his command.

Here is my cached copy of the above video: http://romaninukraine.com/Stuff/%D0%93%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F%20%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B8%D1%8F%20%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B8%D1%82%20%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4%20%D0%BE%D0%BA%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%B2.avi

Curt: Aristocratic Egalitarianism Returns?

ARISTOCRATIC EGALITARIANISM RETURNS?

It’s been an interesting spring.

We learned that international law is an illusion and that only the ability to use economic and military power determines policy.

We learned that the only means of controlling the government is if armed civilians encircle and threaten their oppressive government thugs.

We learned that western governments do not live up to their promises to defend the desire for freedom of people who give up their arms.

We we learned that nuclear weapons are the only guarantee of self governance.

The source of liberty is the organized application of violence by a minority willing to die to deny military, political and economic power to the state.

Violence is a virtue. Violence is the first and most important form of wealth.

Invest your violence wisely.

Use it against the state.

A militia of every able bodied male is the only guarantee of liberty.
