In Ukraine, the US attained victory that eluded them in Iraq. However, the identification of the US with the West is far from perfect. Carl Schmitt preferred to view England and the US as an "Atlantic" force of the Sea opposing the Continental forces of Western Europe, Russia and the Islamic world. In my view, the "Atlantic" force is as religiously grounded as the three others; I called it "Neo-Judaic civilisation". Ukraine, together with other East European states, will present an American 'Neo-Judaic' outpost, so-called "New Europe", flanking independently-minded Europe from the East and Russia from the West. Western Europe stood by the US in its confrontation with the East (The Cold War), but the New Europe will forever keep the old, Western Europe in the siege ring. Thus the US victory in Ukraine is a cause for grave concern for Europeans and for Russians, as well as for the Islamic world.

For the people of Ukraine, the future is gloomy. The pro-American claimant for Presidency Victor Yushchenko is a devotee of neo-liberal economics; a supporter of full privatisation and forced sale of Ukrainian assets to US companies for their soon-to-be-worthless dollars. In the part of Ukraine he will succeed in keeping (if any), a new American colony will be established, where US troops will threaten Moscow and control the profitable oil route. They could learn of their fate from an amazing book by John Perkins, a self-described "economic hit man" (see Handstand Book Reviews, this issue) - a US intelligence professional who cheated countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. In an interview[1] Perkins explained his job:

"Our job is to build up the American empire. To create situations where as many resources as possible flow into this country [the US], to our corporations, and our government, and in fact we' ve been very successful. We've built the largest empire in the history of the world. This empire, unlike any other in the history of the world, has been built primarily through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud, through seducing people into our way of life. We give countries debts they can't repay, most of it comes back to the United States, the country is left with the debt plus lots of interest, and they basically become our servants, our slaves."

American support of Yushchenko means that Yushchenko agreed to do its will, to turn the people of Ukraine into American slaves. Yushchenko is also supported by the World Bank and by the IMF. Neo-liberal 'market doctrine' promoted by the World Bank had killed millions of Russians, Africans, Latin Americans whose governments followed their blue-print. Ukraine has also had its fair share of 'market economy' and its population is steadily decreasing. Yushchenko pushed for neo-liberalism when he was the prime minister; now he promised to push even stronger for it.

The pro-American forces in the Western Europe, yesterday's predator, also want to get a share of the spoils, as German observer Susanne Scheidt wrote:

"If Yushchenko will get hold of the government, he will make sure that the privatization programme drawn up by the World Bank will go on as scheduled. On behalf of this programme, German banks have planned huge investments in Ukraine that amount to a take-over of Ukrainian public utilities, networks and gas transport. The German giant Ruhrgas AG has already signed a deal with Yushchenko to import gas through the Ukrainian corridor from US investors in Azerbaijan, whereas
the present Ukrainian government has always refused to sign such a deal".



Another great supporter of Yushchenko is a group of Russian Jewish oligarchs kicked out of Russia
by Putin. Extremely wealthy, dreaming of revenge, hating Putin's Russia, this offshore gang of Berezovsky, Gusinsky and other ex-Yukos oilmen provide a big share of financial support for the Orange revolution. They also pay for the services of Russian Israeli PR experts who organise the show in Kiev. They are supported by the network of the powerful Ukrainian Jewish community; while behind them stands George Soros, the Jewish international magnate actively pumping money and organisational capacities into the Orange forces of Yushchenko. These external forces rely upon
local young men who received training and advice from the experts who already organised similar putsches in Georgia, Serbia, Romania.

Internal supporters of Yushchenko consist of two quite different groups. The biggest is the nationalists of Galichina, West Ukraine. While Galichina is a beautiful land with its own traditions, friendship with the Russians is not one of them. For centuries Galichina belonged to Poland or to the Austro-Hungarian Empire; their religion is Uniate Christianity; their language is half-way between Polish and the language spoken in Kiev. Galichina has a strong nationalist tendency; during the World War Two they formed an SS division fighting on the German side. Nowadays, they form the base for such groups as swastika-bearing Svoboda (formerly Ukrainian National Socialist Party), UNA and UNSO who venerate Bandera, the Ukrainian nationalist and supporter of Hitler. Today they are united in support of Yushchenko.

They do not mind that Yushchenko is supported by the Jewish oligarchs; the oligarchs do not mind them, either. Soros even financed them. So much for antisemitism: the Jews remember to mention it only when it suits them. In my view, nationalism is often used as cheese in mousetrap. Bandera the nationalist supported Hitler, but Hitler did not even think to establish a strong Ukrainian state; he just used the Ukrainian nationalists to undermine Russia. The same thing happened everywhere: Breton nationalists supported Hitler for they thought he will establish an independent Brittany. They were disappointed, for Hitler thought they are unnecessary after he took over France. Arab nationalists undermined the Ottoman Empire on the service of the West just to find themselves sold out to the Zionists. Now the Ukrainian nationalists do the same mistake again - they support the US; but eventually they will lose for the US does not need a strong independent Ukraine.

Another group of Yushchenko supporters is liberal, relatively wealthy and pro-Western. Many people, especially in the capital Kiev find their livelihood connected with the West. There are dozens of very rich bankers and businessmen, thousands of those who work in NGOs, receive grants of Soros or of the EC, there are small importers, upmarket tarts; there are tens of thousands of aspiring young men and students who still hope to 'make it' in the capitalist competitive society. We know that they will be disappointed just as it has happened in so many countries; the West is not going to wait for millions of educated Ukrainians to take their place at the top. But in Ukraine, as in Russia there are millions who still believe in the American dream, and America spends a lot of money to keep this dream alive.

The future of Ukraine may be bleak: the beautiful girls I saw on the shores of Dnepr River will be shipped to cathouses of Tel Aviv and Istanbul; their boyfriends will fight for America in Iraq and elsewhere, their coal mines will be privatised, sold for peanuts and closed down. Ukraine can be free in union with Russia - or in thrall to the West and the Jews. Whatever the final result of elections - and it will be disputed - Eastern Ukraine probably will join Russia; Western Ukraine will be taken up by Poland or will remain an 'independent' stub of a state. There is still a chance to repeat the victory of Chaves or the Miracle of Minsk, where Lukashenka succeeded to defeat the local agents of Soros and Berezovsky, for they are not invincible; but Yanukovich is not made of stern stuff; Putin is not a daring politician, and the Slav Orthodox world feels itself lost. Maybe that is why tens of thousands of Russians came spontaneously to visit the tomb of Joseph Stalin on 21 December, on 150 year jubilee of the great man who restored fortunes of Russia, beat off the western attacks and united the Ukraine.

Cold War Crisis in The Ukraine Control of Oil: Key Grand Chessboard "Pivot" at Stake   by Larry Chin

IMF Sponsored "Democracy" in The Ukraine by Michel Chossudovsky

  In the Ukraine, the IMF not only intervened in the implementation of the macroeconomic agenda, it
also intruded directly in the arena of domestic party politics.   In 1993, Viktor Yushchenko was appointed head of the newly-formed National Bank of Ukraine. Hailed as a "daring reformer", he was among the main architects of the IMF's deadly economic medicine which served to impoverish The Ukraine and destroy its economy. Following his appointment, the Ukraine reached a historical agreement with the IMF. Mr Yushchenko played a key role in negotiating the 1994 agreement as well as creating a new Ukrainian national currency, which resulted in a dramatic decline in the standard of living.


Washingtons interest in Ukraine: Democracy or Energy Geopolitics? by William Engdahl

  The Ukraine elections are not about Western-sanctioned democratic voting, as some magic formula to open the door to free market reform and prosperity for Ukrainians. Its mainly about who influences the largest neighbor of Russia, Washington or Moscow. A dangerous power play by Washington is involved, to put it mildly.   A look at the geo-strategic background makes things clearer. Ukraine is the transit land for most major Russian Siberian gas pipelines to Germany and the rest of Europe.

Helsinki Human Rights Group Challenges Media Image
of Government-sponsored Fraud

  This preliminary report of the British Helsinki Human Rights Group (BHHRG) observers on the controversial second round of the Ukrainian presidential elections challenges the widely-disseminated media image of government-sponsored fraud at the expense of an untainted opposition on the basis of first-hand reporting.

U.S. Money Helped Opposition in Ukraine by Matt Kelley

  The Bush administration has spent more than $65 million in the past two years to aid political organizations in Ukraine, paying to bring opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko to meet U.S. leaders and helping to underwrite exit polls indicating he won last month's disputed run-off election.


Western aggression: How the US and Britain are intervening in Ukraines elections by John
Laughland

  It is because of this ideological presupposition that Anglo-Saxon reporting on the Ukrainian elections has chimed in with press releases from the State Department, peddling a fairytale about a struggle between a brave and beleaguered democrat, Yushchenko, and an authoritarian Soviet nostalgic, the present Prime Minister, Viktor Yanukovych. All facts which contradict this morality tale are suppressed.


Election Fraud in America. Comparing Mythologies: The US versus Ukraine by Michael Keefer

  Imagine the sensation that would have ensued if a United States Senator had declared, less than three weeks after the 2004 U.S. presidential election, that "It is now apparent that a concerted and forceful program of election-day fraud and abuse was enacted with either the leadership or co-operation of governmental authorities." The story would have made banner headlines around the world. As a matter of fact, on November 22, 2004, BBC News attributed these very words to Republican Senator Richard Lugar. However, Lugar was speaking in his capacity as Chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committeeand he was referring, not to the U.S. presidential election of November 2, but to the Ukrainian presidential election of November 21, 2004.


  Shadow of Anti-Semitism over Ukraine's Disputed Election by British Helsinki Human Rights Group

  Western media and governments may have edited out the manifestations of extreme nationalism and anti-Semitism which disfigure the Ukrainian opposition's rabble-rousing but history will record that in the run up to the disputed presidential elections, key opposition leaders, including Viktor Yushchenko, Julia Timoshenko and Alexander Moroz, defended anti-Semitic publications and accepted the backing of neo-Nazi groups as well as US and EU and so-called civic societyNGOs


Neo-Nazi Organizations in the Ukraine by Liudmila Dymerskaya-Tsigelman and Leonid Finberg

  The political parties and movements of the post-Soviet Ukraine developed their platforms during perestroika, when the processes that led to the subsequent breakup of the Soviet Union were unleashed. Both antisemitism and opposition to it became tools in a fierce ideological and political struggle.


US campaign behind the Turmoil in Kiev by Ian Traynor

  With their websites and stickers, their pranks and slogans aimed at banishing widespread fear of a corrupt regime, the democracy guerrillas of the Ukrainian Pora youth movement have already notched up a famous victory - whatever the outcome of the dangerous stand-off in Kiev.   Funded and organized by the US government, deploying US consultancies, pollsters, diplomats, the two big American parties and US non-government organizations, the campaign was first used in Europe in Belgrade in 2000 to beat Slobodan Milosevic at the ballot box.

Book Review: Israel Shamir: A Hellenizing Jew

http://www.grecoreport.com published the following review of Shamir's writing:  

Israel Shamir is a distinguished writer and journalist, a linguist, BBC commentator, former spokesman for the Israeli socialist party in the Knesset, and translator of many books from English and Hebrew. He is also a convert to Christianity who fought for Israel as a paratrooper in the 1973 war. In a recent talk he gave in Spain to launch his newest book The Green Rain of Yasuf or Masters of Discourse (titled The Flowers of Galilee in English), he spoke about Zionism as being "...just the most recent phase of a determined opposition to the Christian order that goes all the way back in time." (Emphasis added.)

Shamir is able to say and write about things that -- in the politically correct climate currently limiting free speech in America (while its proponents hypocritically mouth platitudes about how "diversity is our strength") -- would automatically brand a Gentile as a "hate-filled anti-Semite." Things that will, if the ADL, JDL, WJC, AIPAC, and other such crypto-Zionist, Israel-first organizations have their way, soon be prohibited by the "Hate Speech" legislation they are pushing for in America. The same kind of legislation their sister organizations have successfully lobbied into law in countries like Germany, France, Canada, and, in the near future should current trends continue, the entire European Union. If or when this unhappy day arrives in the "land of the free and the home of the brave," it will be illegal to write, say, and, if enforcement of such a prohibition were possible, think such things as were said by Shamir in Spain. Here are some examples excerpted from an article about Shamir by Tom White in Culture Wars magazine (July/Aug. 2004. pp. 6 -9.):

                When I wrote so [that the war was about Israel] in the series of articles presented in this book over a year ago, it was a wild opinion shared by a selected few; while the majority was fed by stories of a war for liberation of Iraqis, a war for democracy  in Iraq, a war against terror, a war to stop Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction, or a war for oil. A year passed and all these explanations vanished like smoke in the night. No WMD were found in devastated Iraq; no connections to al-Qaeda were revealed by tortured prisoners of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo; liberation of Iraq turned out to be the brutal occupation regime; as for oil, at the beginning of the war, the price of oil stood at 20 dollars a barrel, while now it is about 40 [actually, it is approaching 50 as this is being written]. The oil companies that were blamed for pushing for the war are pulling out of Iraq, and oil production is well below its prewar levels.

On the 29th of April, 2004, the Guardian reported that BP decided to leave  Iraq, saying that the oil company has no future there. It leaves us exactly with one reason for the war, the reason we stated over a year ago.

                Sometimes it is called "the war for Israel," but this definition misses the point; the state of Israel does not need this war for its safety; Israelis do not need this war for their well-being. The Jews can live as equals in Palestine or elsewhere; but they want to dominate water, land, and the souls of the others. For this reason they kill children and ruin homes of Palestinians in Gaza and Iraqis in Faluja. This is the war for Jewish supremacy waged by the U. S. proponents of this concept, against the principle of equality of all dwellers in the Holy Land. In such a war, Spain has no reason to side with the forces of Jewish supremacy, to provide cover for mass destructions in Palestine and for  mass tortures in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.               

In referring to the bad rap Spain has historically been given as an inhuman and exploitative colonizer, Shamir went on to say that

                Spain has no reason to fight for Jewish racism as your country has a glorious anti-racist record often distorted in modern Jewish narrative, which became the dominant Anglo-American discourse. You are blamed for [the] so-called expulsion of 1492. But [the] majority of exiled Jews came back, gave up their  racist tradition of superiority, agreed to share bread and wine with other Spaniards -- for that is the meaning of [the] Eucharist -- and became honorable  citizens of Spain. Saint Teresa of Avila and Saint Juan de la Cruz are the shining  examples of their glory.

                On the other hand, England under Cromwell accepted the exiled Jews and received kudos from the "Masters of Discourse" [i.e., militant, organized  revolutionary Jews] for this deed. They do not speak of its connection with fencing out the English commoners, with [the] massacre of Irish peasants and Scots, and with [the] massive genocide of Native Americans in their colonies; but the regimes that are "good for Jews" are rarely good for anybody else.

In referring to the current state of affairs in the U. S. and Russia, Shamir remarked: Indeed it is a mistake to think that theology is an irrelevant occupation of    useless clerics, while only material possessions matter. Theology is the deep foundation on which the palace of society is built. Without foundations, the  palace will collapse at a blow of a strong wind, let alone an earthquake. It was the reason for [the] Soviet collapse: quasi-religious communism had no strong theological foundation and did not survive.

                In the "neo-Jewish" U. S., the Judaic paradigm came forth in place of apostolic Christianity, and with it the New World Order of a dwindling middle class, vast security apparatus, growing social gaps, and impoverishment of spirit. It is not the first time the Judaic paradigm [as opposed to the Helleno-Christian] rises in the world; but such societies invariably collapse for they lack a broad social base. Now its proponents have decided to ensure its survival by making it globe-wide; this is the reason of wars and expansion, for their design would not survive on any smaller scale. (Emphasis added.)

Shamir commented upon the dog and pony show known as the politics of the "Left" and "Right" which currently prevails in the West, and then offered some revisionist insights concerning World War II:

                The tragic and destructive confrontation of Left and Right reached its peak in your [Spanish] Civil War and at World War II, where the two great antibourgeois movements, "left and right disciples of Hegel" shed their blood ad majorum U.S. glorium, to the greater glory of the neo-Judaic U. S., the ultimate winner of [the] war. ... Nowadays, we have pseudo-Left and pseudo-Right, for there is no difference between Thatcher and Blair, Bush and Kerry -- both equally support Israel in its drive for supremacy. In Spain and France, the left and the right-wing newspapers were united in their condemnation of The Passion of The Christ by Mel Gibson as "offensive to Jews." Thus, instead of Left and Right, we have a new dichotomy, a new split, by attitude to Judaic supremacy. Today the U. S. fights  the Muslims for Israel, Huntington, the leading  but [Samuel] theorist of the war, is already calling to contain the Hispanics in the U. S. as they are not sufficiently       devoted to the Jewish cause. (Emphasis added)

                [The same concern was also raised in a speech by Dr. Stephen Steinlight, a high-ranking Zionist, and former director of the powerful American Jewish Council, who argued that immigration into the U. S. must be slowed in order to give the Zionist-controlled media time to assimilate the Hispanics already in America with its MTV and Holocaust (sic) type of programming, so as to make them more sensitive to Jewish interests and more amenable to Jewish manipulation. For more on Steinlight, and the other means by which the Zionists control the boobs in America, see "Kitsos on the Rising Tide of Color".]

Shamir ended his talk with an emotional appeal to the ancient and venerable Christian traditions of Spain:

                Spain has an important role to play, for Spain is inherently connected with the Land of Christ and Saint James, your favorite saint, whom you call Santiago.     This Palestinian fisherman was beheaded by orders of Sharon's predecessor, King Herod Antipas, and his head was taken by his disciples to your shores to be be interred in Santiago de Compostella, but his heart remained buried in  Jerusalem, and [the] Cathedral of Saint James rose above his tomb, equally  venerated by Palestinian Christians and Muslims, for in our land Christians and  Muslims live together in great peace and harmony, sharing the same places of  veneration and -- no less important -- the same enemy. Their enemy is not "the Jew," for Jews can live peacefully with Spaniards and Palestinians, but the spirit of Judaic supremacy, which has to be defeated, and will be defeated. (Emphasis added.)

Though we may disagree with his politics, we consider Shamir to be a remarkable man whose love for his fellow Jews, and for humanity as a whole, shines through his work. It is worthy of note, and has been mentioned and demonstrated on this site, that the most persuasive and well-reasoned criticism of the terrorist state of Israel is not coming from the dimwitted skin-heads in their Nazi-like uniforms and their thuggish mannerisms (who are presented to us by the controlled media as being typical of the dissenters to Israeli aggression), but by the most intelligent and historically aware segment of the population. Such a segment would naturally include many right-thinking Jews, not a few of whom have been quoted or written about here on TGR.

We repeat what we consider to be an important point made by Shamir in this talk -- a point made over and over again on this site -- which is that the non-affiliated, average Jew has never been and is not now the problem; the problem is the atheistic, supremacist, organized, Zionist Jew, who is, and has historically been, a determined revolutionary "against the Christian order." This "revolutionary Jew" sees Helleno-Christianity as his most formidable ideological enemy, and as the greatest stumbling block to his psychotic fixation of making the world over to suit his power-lusting fantasies. And just as one must not be considered a Greek-hater because he is unalterably opposed to such slime as the Greek November 17th criminal gang of terrorists, one should not be labeled a Jew-hater because he is unalterably opposed to the criminal state of Israel as it is currently ruled over by the terrorist-spawning Likud party, and its homicidal and psychopathic leader, Ariel Sharon.

Shamir's unabashed and historically accurate assessment of what happens to a society condemned to live under what he refers to as the "Judaic paradigm," i.e., "a dwindling middle class, vast security apparatus, growing social gaps, and impoverishment of spirit," is precisely what is happening in what he rightly describes as the  "neo-Jewish US" today. So "in-your-face," comprehensive and entrenched are the cultural, and political changes that have been imposed by the all-powerful American Zionists in what used to be an almost exclusively Christian country, and so blatantly at odds are these changes with the norms and values that have traditionally characterized our Western Civilization, that -- though we applaud his skills as a chronicler of  events -- we cannot concede the role of expert prognosticator to Israel Shamir when he predicts the defeat of "the spirit of Judaic supremacy.".
