Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
Kyiv-based political analyst Zolotorov calls the EU a “dead cat.” Delighted not everyone is drinking the EU Kool-aid! #ukraineprotests
Correction. He didn’t say it quite a colorfully. But he had the same general idea.
#euromaidan stage just announced that Yanik tried to fly out of a Harkiv airport but protestors blocked his way & he fled on a jeep. Nice !
S Sailer: “Right Sector don’t look much like the typical Soros-ite types. So if the US/EU backed side actually won in Ukraine, next thing we know the USA/NATO would likely be dropping bombs on their own guys in the cause of Totalitarian Liberalism?”

Andriy: he says that opposition took power in illegal way, that streets of Kyiv are full of criminals and terrorists. He compares protesters and opposition to Nazis 1930s. “I have no fear” – he says. “I will gather all healthy power in East and South to protect legitimacy in this country and souvereign (? can’t spell correctly) state
Hurts my military instincts to see this.
“this hasn’t been a simple struggle between “Ukrainians” and “Russians”. It’s a struggle between Ukrainians and their corrupt government with a mixture of sympathy, apathy and skepticism from the Russian parts of Ukraine.”
See Roman’s article on VDare. It was hard to get US attention. It took work. Nobody cares about Ukraine. Really.
BUT: you gotta understand this. And this is hard for some people to grasp. But the entire IDENTITY of the west is predicated on their superiority in human rights. Their claim of legitimacy is predicated upon it. The US’s argument in favor of its use of POWER is predicated upon it.
So, when you take a bunch of peaceful white folk, and shoot them, this is not so much a question of Ukraine. It’s a question of ‘religious devotion’ on the part of westerners.
I have spent a long time trying to demonstrate the connection between economics and morality – that they’re the same. But that while humans are universally acquisitive, they are MORE universally MORAL than acquisitive.
And that is an evolutionary necessity.
So, shooting protesters is the far more serious an offense to secular christianity that we call democratic socialism, than drawing comics of Muhammed as a goat-f_cker.
No one is pulling strings. Ukrainians ASKED for help in replacing their government so that they can escape corruption-induced poverty.
Ukraine has been NATO’d already. Because the Ukrainian troops TRAIN with nato troops. That is why Ukrianian soldiers understand the concept of “Illegal Order”, and won’t fire on their own people.
What ukraine needs is to be free of soviet era corruption. Europe is JUST A TOOL for that.
Ask Roman Skaskiw, not me. He’s right. I’m just saying what CAN and WILL happen, not what SHOULD happen.
Dear Western Libertarians,
On behalf of Ukrainians, I want to apologize for not supporting your geo-political goal of bolstering a strong Russia, the enemy of your enemy. We are doing what is best for us.
Yes, there was western influence here. No, it isn’t the driving force behind the protests.

Coffee shop. In a corner. Three young men. Handsome. Bright eyes. Educated. Expensive laptops. A bit disheveled. Busy with phones and planning.
And body armor hung over their chairs.
Beautiful.

I decided to walk home from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I probably passed eight groups of volunteer patrols, 4-8 people, all but one patrol wore reflective vests. One rode bicycles. The cops have disbanded, and the mayor had called for volunteers after reports of provocateurs arriving in the city. There is also a curfew on alcohol sales after 6pm.
This is still a rumor, but I a representative from radical protest group “pravi sektor” said in an interview that Israeli soldiers helped a lot.
It will come out in this magazine:
Andriy Drozda: That’s the strongest argument against those in Western media who try to show Ukrainian protesters as anti-semitists. LOL!

As I wrote before, I freaking hate this video. Ukrainians should be solving their own problems, not begging for help.
