The White House has announced today that it will never recognize the results of yesterday’s referendum in eastern Ukraine, which endorsed the People’s Republic of Donetsk protest movement.
They insist they consider the vote “illegal” and that the US is “disappointed” that Russia did not forcibly stop the vote after the organizers rejected calls to delay it indefinitely
The Ukraine interim government, which the US endorses, has been invading the eastern Ukrainian provinces covered by the referendum, and the military attempted to try to disrupt the vote yesterday by attacking polling places and seizing ballots.
The interim government has similarly condemned the referendum as the work of “terrorists,” and promised to continue the offensive against the cities in the area.
Only hours before Russia invades and even more butthurt wafts out of Imperial City.
The self-declared Nazi-Pushing Lord Protector of Ukraine From Half the World Away declares something which happens in Ukraine "illegal".
Has the legality of the invasion of Iraq been clarified yet?
So what happens if Russia doesn't recognize the Unelected Nazi leaders of the Coup that the United States Funded and is supporting?
Cannot claim the High ground United States when the so called Ukraine Provisional Government over threw a democratically elected Government!
Today, spokespeople for Lord Barack and his foreign minister, the Earl of Ketchup, today announced that they do not recognized the illegal declaration that was issued by the illegal congress in Philadelphia. Lord Barack stated that King's rule by the divine right of their appointment by Bankers, and that no people has any right whatsoever to try declare their independence from the government that Bankers have decreed.
The Earl of Ketchup went on to assert that the theory that governments are only just when they have the consent of the governed was an unspeakable heresy. Also that the notion that anyone has any right to discard their current government in order to set up one more likely to effect their safety and happiness was heresy against the truth that only Bankers have the right to change a government. The Earl of Ketchup went on to express his complete support for mad King George III, and declared that anyone who signed the illegal declaration of independence would be seized by Lord Barack's Academi Mercenaries and turned over to King George III so their lawful ruler appointed to the bankers could administer the King's justice by hanging them by the neck until half-dead, then drawing and quartering the traitor with the four horsemen and then putting the head of the traitor on a pike for all to see the holy truth that only Bankers get to choose who governs.
The Obama Admin didn't have any problem with recognizing the overthrow of the duly elected Egyptian government. Nor advocating the "regime change" by arming terrorists and foreign religious fanatics in Syria. They support the "rule of law"…when it pleases them and their guy takes over. The morality of what they are doing is so far out of whack with what this country stood for for so long. I'm stunned by the silence and ambivalence by the American people to what our government is doing – and the antipathy for those who point out the incongruities of policy.
The people who watch CNN and FOX News and MSNBC all see a completely different, and largely fabricated reality. And that's the fraction of the population that watches 'news' at all.
But, every time you get someone else to pay attention, but to also turn off the propaganda channels, then that's another small step forward. And that's how we go forwards, one small step at a time.
I don't normally watch any of the propaganda channels, so when I do visit one of them, I'm stunned by the pure junk and fantasy they churn out. It seems impossible anyone could believe it. But for many, that's all they've seen.
And for younger people, it may be all they know. By now, you'd have to be at least 30 to even remember something like Ted Turner's independent CNN having three guys make the Pentagon mad by doing un-embedded live reports on America's bombing of Baghdad. Somewhere back around there in the great fog is about the last time any of the 'news' was worth watching.
Still, one convert, one recruit at a time is how we win. Seems slow, until you look up and find a million others doing the same, and suddenly every door you knock on is someone else who's already been converted.
The people's vote are invalid in the eyes of the Obama Administration, the bad part is that the American people haven't a clue, or just don't care.
Horror of horrors! Ukraine is invading Ukraine! I hope the Ukrainian parliament declared war on Ukraine before invading it! And how did the Ukrainian parliament react to being invaded by Ukraine?
Ukraine's upcoming election of May 25th will resemble the elections held after the US invasion of Iraq, a choice between US puppet A, or US puppet B. The USG didn't spend $5 billion just to let Ukraine's people decide for themselves who will govern them.
You are so right.
Voting in Donetsk is illegal BUT seizing power in Kiev by force and murder is very western and civilised.
Exactly. They will not be elections, but "elections".
After watching the Odessa Massacre where the Maiden pro Kiev govt protesters firebombed and burned to death 38 Ukrainian protesters in a trade union building and our officials didn't condemn the Kiev govt shows that the world shouldn't recognize these pond scum thugs in DC anymore.
"They insist they consider the vote “illegal” and that the US is “disappointed” that Russia did not forcibly stop the vote after the organizers rejected calls to delay it indefinitely"
This insane, first the U.S. tell Russia it better not invade the Ukraine, and now Obama is mad Russia didn't use force to stop the election. Is he serious? I think we have been sucked into Dr. Strangelove, except it is not funny, because real people are being killed.
