Yanukovich and Vanguard

Before the now-meme interview of Yanukovich to BBC, some say that he met with Miller - the head of Gazprom, and James M. Norris - managing director of Vanguard's international operations. Now ain't that a peculiar occurence, especially provided that according to Fulford, Vanguard is your choice of the villain of the year.

And now, the famous video. Enjoy.

Green light for large scale privatization of Ukraine.

Okay, so it seems that the privatization I mentioned in previous post has a green-light from Yatseniuk and Co. Now the million dollar question is - who will be allowed to purchase assets at price so cheap (due to stagflation and war). Something tells me that it might NOT be current oligarchs. Oops.

Regarding supposed Soros' email leak to Poroshenko

So there was another lovely 'leak' by the team who released alleged conversation between 'NATO' official and someone from Svoboda far-right wing party to arrange the 'false-flag'. It was around last autumn, I believe. So, the link to the 'news' as follows below. Hacked Emails Expose George Soros As Ukraine Puppet-Master Let's begin with a fact, that *sigh* CyberBerkut is a very reliable source (/sarcasm). First, the title is misleading: if you read the 'letters' you'll see that Soros offers his services as a lobbyist, not as a boss. And believe me, if Ukrainian politicians don't want to do something, they don't and make it look like very convincing (see how they explain the absense of reforms ;) ). It takes certain finesse to fool around much more powerful players and get away with it. Secondly, the article makes another mistake of considering Ukraine to consist of only governing bodies (which are themselves often non-aligned and antagonist to each other) with no regard to civil society. The same mistake was made previously by numerous 'specialists' that fed Fulford, among the others, the info about splitting Ukraine in half. But surprise, when volunteers went to defend their homeland, and other volunteers took upon themselves the weight of providing logistics and basic ammo (since the army has been destroyed for many years) the 'Dnipro split' became barely a half of one oblast'. Thirdly, I have read all the docs they provide, and if a time-frame correction is made (ie state of events at the moment of the supposed creation of the letters). However, certain repetitive fragments of text that are found in all 3 'letters' are alarming as to the purpose of them as well as origination. And since when Presidential correspondence is held out in the open-net on a government webside? Ah-ha. There are special secured lines even for the phone-calls. Forthly, Soros has been investing into Ukraine's agricultural sector (not land directly, it is not allowed to be sold /yet/, not that the land isn't sold, but the rules are mostly for grabbing it illegally by however has the power). And he invested a lot. For a moment I expected a flash of privatizations (especially after Hryvna devalued abruptly, since it's the easiest way to cheapen the asset). The scheme is the following (as tested during 90s): You generate revenue in Hryvna and then convert in USD or other hard currency and transfer it to your off-shore accounts. Then you devalue Hryvna, and return your money as an 'investment' and buy the asset much more cheaper (the prices are still in Hryvna and don't get re-indexed to sustain the fluctuating FX rate). Profit.

Conflict escalation. Prelude to global offensive?

Events in the last few days amount to clear proof that Russia is preparing a major offensive in Southern Ukraine. There will be two main advance and everyone with even a tiny bit of curiosity and intelligence can see the signs and draw the conclusions. However today’s fighting around Marinka near Donetsk isn’t that major offensive, but a skirmish to provide Russia with a pretext to unleash its summer offensive. Not much to add.
