Ukraine; ‘Regime Change
101.’
America’s Soft Power Technique
By Oliver Stone
January 03, 2015 "ICH"
- (I) Interviewed Viktor Yanukovych (for) 4
hours in Moscow for new English language
documentary produced by Ukrainians. He was
the legitimate President of Ukraine until he
suddenly wasn’t on February 22 of this year.
Details to follow in the documentary, but it
seems clear that the so-called ‘shooters’
who killed 14 police men, wounded some 85,
and killed 45 protesting civilians, were
outside third party agitators. Many
witnesses, including Yanukovych and police
officials, believe these foreign elements
were introduced by pro-Western factions--
with CIA fingerprints on it.
Remember the Chavez ‘regime change’/coup of
2002 when he was temporarily ousted after
pro and anti-Chavez demonstrators were fired
upon by mysterious shooters in office
buildings. Also resembles similar technique
early this year in Venezuela when Maduro’s
legally elected Government was almost
toppled by violence aimed at anti-Maduro
protestors. Create enough chaos, as the CIA
did in Iran ‘53, Chile ‘73, and countless
other coups, and the legitimate Government
can be toppled. It’s America’s soft power
technique called ‘Regime Change 101.’
In this case the “Maidan Massacre” was
featured in Western media as the result of
an unstable, brutal pro-Russian Yanukovych
Government. You may recall Yanukovych went
along with the February 21 deal with
opposition parties and 3 EU foreign minsters
to get rid of him by calling for early
elections. The next day that deal was
meaningless when well-armed, neo-Nazi
radicals forced Yanukovych to flee the
country with repeated assassination
attempts. By the next day, a new pro-Western
government was established and immediately
recognized by the US (as in the Chavez 2002
coup).
A dirty story through and through, but in
the tragic aftermath of this coup, the West
has maintained the dominant narrative of
“Russia in Crimea” whereas the true
narrative is “USA in Ukraine.” The truth is
not being aired in the West. It’s a surreal
perversion of history that’s going on once
again, as in Bush pre-Iraq ‘WMD’ campaign.
But I believe the truth will finally come
out in the West, I hope, in time to stop
further insanity.
For a broader understanding, see Pepe
Escobar’s analysis “The
new European ‘arc of instability,’”
which indicates growing turbulence in 2015,
as the US cannot tolerate the idea of any
rival economic entity
http://bit.ly/1yBmpHa . You might also
see “Untold History” Chapter 10 where we
discuss the dangers of past Empires which
did not allow for the emergence of competing
economic countries.
