...................By contrast, there is
substantial evidence that senior U.S.
officials were pushing for a “regime change”
in Kiev, including

an
intercepted phone call
and
various public statements.



In December 2013,
Assistant Secretary of State Victoria
Nuland, a neocon holdover, reminded
Ukrainian business leaders that the United
States had invested $5 billion in their
“European aspirations.” In early February,
she discussed with U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey
Pyatt who the new leaders of Ukraine should
be. “Yats is the guy,” she declared,
referring to Arseniy Yatsenyuk. [See
Consortiumnews.com’s “Who’s
Telling the Big Lie on Ukraine
?”]



The Maidan uprising gained
momentum on Feb. 20, 2014, when snipers
around the square opened fire on police and
protesters touching off a violent clash that
left scores of people dead, both police and
protesters. After the sniper fire and a
police retreat — carrying their wounded —
the demonstrators surged forward and
some police apparently reacted with return
fire of their own.



But the growing evidence
indicates that the initial sniper fire
originated from locations controlled by the
Right Sektor, extremists associated with the
Maidan’s neo-Nazi “self-defense” commandant
Andriy Parubiy. Though the current Ukrainian
government has dragged its feet on an
investigation, independent field reports,
including

a
new one from BBC
, indicate that
the snipers were associated with the
protesters, not the Yanukovych government as
was widely reported in the U.S. media a year
ago.................

Bush Crime Family Crony Robert Gates a Shoo-In

Monday December 04th 2006, 8:16 pm “Robert Gates, the former CIA director and Texas A&M University president, is expected to easily win nomination as President Bush’s next defense secretary following a hearing today that is likely to focus on strategies in Iraq,” reports Express-News. Easy nomination, no matter the guy is a criminal, not to mention a blood-thirsty warmongering psychopath. Gates was at the core of the so-called Iran-Contra affair, but then it is business as usual in Washington, as the Bush administration is packed like a sardine tin with Iran-Contra criminals. Lawrence E. Walsh, the independent counsel in the Iran-Contra investigation, knew Gates was lying about his collaboration with fellow criminal, now respected Fox News talking head, Oliver North, the guy who wanted to suspend the Constitution and throw demonstrators in gulags under Rex-84. In 1984, as understudy and protégé of then CIA director-ghoul, William Casey, Gates wanted to bomb the dickens out of Nica

Legendary singer Tilahun Gessesse dies at age 68 ADDIS ABABA - Ethiopia's legendary singer Tilahun Gessesse died at age 68 in his family home in the Ethiopian capital, family sources said. Perhaps the greatest modern musician whose star shone brightly during the golden years of Ethiopian music of the '60s, the 68-year-old iconic figure died Sunday on his way to hospital. A day earlier, Tilahun flew from New York City to Addis Ababa to spend Easter with his family. Reacting to the sudden death of Tilahun Gessesse, the Washington-based Radio Host Abebe Belew, also a close friend of Tilahun, said he was deeply shocked. "He was sporting a heatlhy look and was in good spirits when left for Ethiopia Saturday. On Sunday in Addis, we heard Tilahun was sick with "some burning" and was being rushed to a hospital when in the midst of all the chaos came in the news of his sudden death," Abebe said. "I wonder if there could be another Ethiopian who would live up to
