Challenging the Western Narrative on Events in the Ukraine By Lionel Reynolds
The mainstream western media has presented a united front in its coverage of events in the Ukraine since the Maidan protests began in late November 2013.

Ukraine: America’s Strategic Error By Vladimir Yevseyev
The international community is entering a period of global instability. The unipolar world that emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union has receded into the past. Obviously, this would have happened a little later, but the U.S. has significantly accelerated the international processes when it interfered in the internal affairs of Ukraine rather rudely. Continue reading

When Will Americans Come to Their Senses? By Diana Johnstone
Five years ago, I wrote a paper for a Belgrade conference commemorating the tenth anniversary of the start of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.

Ukraine as Stalking Horse: The Rise of Fascism in the West By Norman Pollack
Fascism dribbles off the tongue too easily, yet it is possible to wrap one’s arms around the concept and practice with, allowing for historical variations, some degree of precision. Hitler’s Germany may be the gold standard by which to measure all else, but even there correction can be made for both underlying structural features and… Continue reading

Who is in charge of Ukraine today?
The dominant condescending and appeasing tone towards the new Ukrainian authorities in the West clearly contradicts to its democratic and humanitarian values, it persistently promotes in the world.

The forgotten coup – and how the godfather rules from Canberra to Kiev By john Pilger

US Proxy Terror War on Venezuela By Prof. James Petras
Protest, dissent and terrorist wars are obviously very distinct forms of expressing opposition and bringing about change. The Obama-Kerry regime claim that the opposition in Venezuela is a “protest movement” a “peaceful democratic opposition” expressing discontent with economic conditions and that the democratically elected Maduro Administration is an ‘authoritarian regime’ violently repressing dissent. Washington claims… Continue reading

Video: Ukrainian Euromaidan militant Olexander Muzychko speaking out on Nazi agenda of the Right Sector
A straight-forward speech by the Ukrainian ultra-nationalist Olexander Muzychko (aka criminal leader Sasha Bilyi), who was one of the most cruel commanders on the “Euromaidan”, calls to get Ukraine back to its “historic boundaries” and to establish a totalitarian state: – The Don River, Kuban’, Terek and Caucasus will be our lands! – One national… Continue reading

Big Oil’s “Sore Losers” Lead the Drive to War in Ukraine By Mike Whitney
Following a 13 year rampage that has reduced large swathes of Central Asia and the Middle East to anarchy and ruin, the US military juggernaut has finally met its match on a small peninsula in southeastern Ukraine that serves as the primary operating base for Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. Crimea is the door through which… Continue reading

Ukraine: Truth – the First Casualty
The nationalist uprising in Kiev, at least in part stage-managed from Washington and Brussels with that accustomed mixture of arrogance and duplicity last seen in the build up to previous imperial exercises – from the invasion of Iraq and Libya to Saakashvilli’s disastrous attack on South Ossetia as encouraged by the Washington Neocons – is… Continue reading

Ukraine Between Popular Uprising for Democracy and Fascist Putsch By David Mandel
Let’s begin with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s version. One can think what one likes about deposed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich, but his election in 2012 was recognized as legitimate by international observers and, after a certain hesitation, by the defeated candidate, Yulia Timoshenko. In fact, relatively honest elections were just about the only positive… Continue reading
