Ukraine's Nazi Uprising
The Ukrainian government's anti-terror police have been disbanded today.
This gives a clue to the real reason this coup was encouraged now, not last year or next year;
In mid-January the Ukraine parliament adopted legislation with a view to curbing the neo-Nazi groups in the protest movement. The law also sets procedures pertaining to the registration of foreign non-governmental subversive organizations (NGOs) and the categorization of NGOs “financed from abroad” and involved in political activity in Ukraine as “foreign agents” (Reuters, January 16, 2014)
But the law, which ran to more than 100 pages, was directed mainly at preparing the ground for action to end the Nazi-agitated street protests that have been taking place in the capital Kiev and some other cities since November.
On the 19th of February, following the several days of violence, the government instigated an Anti-terrorist Operation.
Alexander Yakimenko, head of Ukraine’s security agency intimated that the riots were being led by radical Neo-Nazi groups involved in “seizing buildings of local authorities, Interior Ministry, Security Service, prosecutor’s offices, military units, ammunition depots. Courthouses are being burnt, vandals are destroying private homes, killing civilians. Only during the last day 1,500 firearms and 100,000 cartridges have been stolen by criminals. website of the SBU
So the opposition groups appear to have got in there first and overthrown the government, in order to prevent being broken up and imprisoned - and hence they have disbanded the the elite counter-terror force.“What is happening today is a conscious use of violence by way of arson, murder, hostage-taking and intimidation … for the sake of pursuing criminal goals… All of that with the use of firearms. These are not just signs of terrorism but concrete terrorist acts. By their actions, radical and extremist groups bear a real threat to lives of millions of Ukrainians,”,” Alexander Yakimenko, , Ukraine’s security agency chief (SBU), website of the SBU,also quoted in the Los Angeles Times,February 19, 2014),
In his formal remarks at Munich and a week earlier at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov assailed Western governments for supporting neo-Nazi terrorist organizations in their zeal to place Ukraine under European Union and Troika control to tighten the NATO noose around Russia.
If anything, Lavrov understated the case.
Ever since President Viktor Yanukovych announced that Ukraine was withdrawing its plans to sign the European Union's Association Agreement on Nov. 21, 2013, Western-backed organizations made up of remnants of the wartime and immediate postwar Nazi collaborationist Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) and their successors have launched a campaign of provocations aimed at not only at bringing down the government of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, but at overthrowing the democratically elected President Yanukovych.
