The seed has sprouted 15/07/2014 KIEV / BERLIN (Own report) - The Western-backed government of Ukraine is stepping up its warfare in the eastern part of the country. Attacks on residential areas are ongoing, and increasing attacks on the economic infrastructure are leading to fears that Slovyansk , like the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, will be hung out to dry: In Slavyansk, the water and electricity supply failed completely even in hospitals after the destruction, and observers spoke of a humanitarian catastrophe. In armed forces and irregular militias, fascist forces, which Berlin has made presentable, are becoming established - in the case of the party Svoboda, through cooperation and public appearances of party leaders with the German Foreign Minister, and in the case of the infamous Pravy sector ("Right sector") by (Germany’s) acquiescence to its emergence on the Maidan. One of the results of the Berlin-supported development is that recently the central Kiev demonstration for gay rights has been banned - by a protegé of Berlin's foreign policy, the Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko, who is highly popular in Germany.

Die Saat geht auf

KIEW/BERLIN

(Eigener Bericht) - Die vom Westen protegierte Regierung der Ukraine verschärft ihre Kriegführung im Osten des Landes. Angriffe auf Wohngebiete dauern an; zunehmende Attacken auf die wirtschaftliche Infrastruktur lassen befürchten, dass auch die Großstädte Donezk und Luhansk wie zuvor Slowjansk gleichsam ausgetrocknet werden sollen: In Slawjansk war es nach der Zerstörung der Wasser- und Stromversorgung sogar in Krankenhäusern zu Totalausfällen gekommen, Beobachter sprachen von einer humanitären Katastrophe. In Streitkräften und irregulären Milizen etablieren sich faschistische Kräfte, die Berlin hoffähig gemacht hat - im Falle der Partei Swoboda durch Kooperation und gemeinsames Auftreten des Parteichefs mit dem deutschen Außenminister, im Falle des berüchtigten Prawy Sektor ("Rechter Sektor") durch die billigende Inkaufnahme von dessen Erstarken auf dem Maidan. Zu den Ergebnissen der von Berlin unterstützten Entwicklung gehört, dass kürzlich die zentrale Kiewer Demonstration für die Rechte von Homosexuellen verboten worden ist - von einem Zögling der Berliner Außenpolitik, dem in Deutschland hochpopulären Kiewer Oberbürgermeister Witali Klitschko.

This is beyond bizarre. The German government, like all Western powers, is pro-gay to its eyeballs. Yet, their protegée, Vitaly Klitschko, who is now mayor of Kyiv, has banned gay demonstrations.

Now, recall that one of the main reasons Russia is so despised by Western elites is thate that country has had to chutzpah to ban gay demonstrations.

So what do they do but groom a man who will now be seen as a homophobe to be president of Ukraine, who when he fails to get elected, becomes mayor of Kyiv and bans gay demos.

Talk about unintended consequences!

But this should not surprise.

Germany, which bans any appearances of anti-Jewish speech in its own country, lost no sleep over holding photo-ops with fascists like Oleh Tyahnybok, thereby making them appear acceptable to the world. (McCain also did a photo op with this well-known Nazi).

It is a crazy mixed up – and hypocritical – world we live in.

It turns out that what Westerners call homophobia in Russia is simply part and parcel of Slavic culture in general and not specifically Russian culture per se.

Just one more thing: Some of you are listening to anti-Putin friends and acquaintances, including Russian immigrants, who tell you that all reports about attacks by the Ukrainian armed forces are bogus and are purely Russian propaganda. They are even going so far as to say that all the reports of Russian speaking residents in Ukraine being attacked and having their villages destroyed are false and that the REAL story is that Putin is sending in Chechens to kill the Russian speakers.

Like Putin would do something that preposterous and counterproductive now that he is under constant pressure from his own people and Russian media to send troops to Ukraine to help the Russian speakers!

Further, if this were true, why would we read that Ukrainian air force planes are being shot down? If the Ukrainian armed forces are harmless and not shooting anyone, why are they flying military planes over the Russian speakers’ territory.

Finally, this report is from German observers. Does anyone still think this is Russian propaganda?
