UKRAINE- THE VICTIM OF THE U.S. AMBASSADOR

U.S. AMBASSADOR GEOFFREY R PYATT ENGINEERED UKRAINE CRISIS

The ongoing Crisis in Ukraine was engineered by the United States and the key person behind this project was Geoffrey R. Pyatt, the US Ambassador to the Ukraine. He is one of the most important instigators of the Ukrainian “revolution.” Here’s a curious fact: Geoffrey R. Pyatt's appointment came in the wake of so called trade wars between the Russian Federation and Ukraine in the summer of 2013. This was at a time when the West had decided it must force Ukraine to take sides: to choose between its beloved self or the Russian Federation. Anyone familiar with the Ukraine's economy could have foreseen that Yanukovich would reject an unmodified trade pact with the EU. The US was also well aware of what was going on because it has good field analysts, to say nothing of a network of spies and informants, including a number of high ranking Ukrainian politicians.

One should also remember that US-Russian relations were going through a difficult phase because of the Syrian crisis. Russian diplomatic successes irked the Obama administration.  Russia had in effect blocked America's interventionist war in Syria. Relations, which were lukewarm to begin with, chilled significantly because efforts to expand war by Obama the Peacemaker were thwarted in Syria.

To punish Russia's lack of enthusiasm for destruction of the Syrian people, the US decided to strike a blow at the Ukraine. Stratfor's George Friedman confirmed this in a lecture he gave in Moscow on December 9, 2014. The United States had created a number of destructive scenarios for the Ukraine a long time ago. The American hyper empire is motivated by its lust for global control and it operates according to an interventionist strategy based on the premise that the US must be able to manipulate political processes in any part of the world. In the summer of 2014 the US decided to get rid of Viktor Yanukovich and to crown some pro-American puppet as ruler of the land. At this time, Geoffrey R. Pyatt, a known manipulator and a dirty tricks expert with a nasty track record going back to his time in Latin America, appeared on the scene. This was a sure sign of what was about to happen.

Ukraine is the crown jewel in Pyatt's résumé, which includes such iconic service posts as Honduras, Pakistan, Hong Kong and India. Pyatt's diplomatic career began in Honduras, in 1990, where he worked as a commercial relations officer as well as vice consul. He debuted in Honduras when that impoverished Central American state was engulfed in a sea of change:  Rafael Leonardo Callejas Romero became the country's president.

Soon after his first term, Callejas was accused of abuse, electoral fraud, corruption, and other sins enumerated in America's holy manual of democracy. Fortunately for Callejas, a judge cleared him of most charges later on. But while he ran the show, the Honduran economy was liberalized, hordes of multinationals descended on the hapless country and, as an expression of inexplicable and sudden affection for Honduras, the US wrote off 430 million dollars of the nation's debt.  In 1990, the year Geoffrey R. Pyatt began working in Honduras and Callejas became president, the latter opened a special account that was used as a depository of what was then classified as dirty money, payments which included funds from Texaco, a US-based oil corporation.  Unforunately for Callejas, his US employers fired him after the end of his term. Jeff Pyatt, the commercial liaison officer and the vice consul must have known everything, because Callejas' entry visa was revoked under clause 212F, which is reserved for persons deemed detrimental to US interests but conventionally used for chastising Third World officials with charges of corruption. In a way this story resembles the fate of another disgraced American appointee, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili.

From 1992 to 1994, Pyatt was appointed as a policy officer to Delhi, India where he looked around and prepared for a future assignment. This came in 1994 when Jeff Pyatt was appointed Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America. Just a year later he became Special Assistant under the US Deputy Secretary of State. He was at that job from 1995 to 1996.  Pyatt's immediate boss was Strobe Talbott, then the Deputy Secretary of State and a close friend of Bill Clinton. Talbott's specialization was post-Soviet states, or rather destabilization of these states. In 2010 he met with then Russian President Dmitri Medvedev.

After his stint in the post-Soviet directorate he was moved back to the familiar environment of Latin America. From 1996 to 1997 he headed the Latin America section of the US National Security Council. That's a breathtaking career pace for a diplomat who had been a lowly vice consul assigned to Honduras, so one can assume he was doing a good job back in Honduras and he was promoted for more than just his cheerful smile at rare diplomatic receptions.  Of course the U.S. National Security Council is not a diplomatic outfit by any means: the entity was created along with the CIA in 1947 and from its inception, engaged in clandestine warfare against the USSR and other less than diplomatic activities.

When this assignment was over, Geoffrey Pyatt was transferred to Pakistan where he became the head of the US consulate at Lahore, the capital of the province of Punjab. Punjab happens to be Pakistan's most populous territory and accounts for 56% of the nation's population and 59% of Pakistan's GDP. The region is infested with militant groups preaching extremist ideologies.  The US Consulate at Lahore had to work with those people as well. The year 2001 was especially eventful. A US diplomat killed 2 people because he believed they were going to do him in. As Pakistani authorities investigated they found out that the US Consulate, the employer of the murderous diplomat, was connected with terrorist cells operating in Pashtun tribal territories and the diplomat in question was not really a diplomat but a CIA agent. Pyatt's contacts with Pakistani terrorists would help him in India later on. Wikileaks published a report by Pyatt in which he talks about the popularity of Taliban with Indian and Pakistani deobandi.

After his successes against or with terrorism, Pyatt was transferred to Hong Kong. His official job was at commercial interests sections at the US Consulate General. This all happened two years after Britain transferred sovereignty over the island back to its Chinese owners and the territory was in a state of flux: a perfect time for intelligence gathering and detecting weak spots in the Chinese administration.  Geoffrey R. Pyatt spent three years there.

In 2002 Pyatt became Minister-Counselor for Political Affairs at the U.S. Consulate in New Delhi. He was the second man at the consulate from 2006 to 2007.  At that time this diplomatic outpost in India became one of largest US consulates. Besides the usual work with Indian and Pakistani Islamic extremists, Pyatt was handling Indian intelligence services. It all ended with a huge scandal in India that followed the leak of a report penned by Pyatt himself.  In his confidential cable on “how to counter this new and worrying effort (by Iran) to reach out to Indian opinion makers,”  Paytt names his informer: former Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India and Head of the Advisory Committee of National Security Council of India K.V. Radjan. Rajan provided the U.S. with the data about Iranian ties to Indian politicians. In fact Rajan prepared a list of people whom he suspects were working with Iran. K.V. Rajan has denied all of this, but to his chagrin Indian journalists found the actual list. 

After his stint in India Pyatt was appointed Deputy Head of the U.S. mission in India and South East Asia.  While in this position Pyatt rose to a new level. Now he wasn't merely recruiting foreign officials, but could lobby for advancement of their careers.  With Pyatt's helpful assistance Yukiya Amano become the Director of the IAEA. Grateful Amano supported all important actions of the U.S., as Pyatt himself wrote in a leaked classified cable: “he (Amano) was solidly in the US court on every key strategic decision, from high-level personnel appointments to the handling of Iran's alleged nuclear weapons program.” By all counts Pyatt was doing an outstanding job.

Let's take a look at Pyatt's report on Syria. The U.S. blamed Syria for collaborating with Iran. At the US controlled UN, the Iranian nuclear program and Syrian weapons of mass destruction were intimately related topics.   In 2011 Amano, always ready to oblige, demanded to call Syria to account for its so-called "hidden nuclear reactor".  And 3 years later, right after the U.S. made sure that Syria had destroyed its chemical weapons, the US revived the hidden nuclear reactor canard. Loyal Amano came in handy again. Pyatt knew what he was doing.

In 2010 Geoffrey Pyatt left Vienna to become the First Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the South and Central Asia Affairs Bureau. The Bureau deals with Pakistan, states of the Hindustan peninsula, Afghanistan and Central Asian republics of the former USSR. During this period the region became very unstable and, yes you guessed it, Pyatt was there. And then came the most significant promotion: Geoffrey becomes the U.S. Ambassador  to Ukraine.

When Geoffrey Pyatt was appointed U.S. Ambassador in Ukraine, "Ostrov", a pro-Kiev media outfit gave him a title: "anticrisis manager". The name isn't entirely correct because Pyatt is a "crisis manager" all right, he is the man whose job is to create crisis. After his appointment Pyatt said honestly that this a critical moment for Ukraine, that it too can be an independent, strong state which can choose its own future.  He said it in the context of implied future modernization and westernization of the country. The United States Ambassador let everyone understand in no unclertainterms that until to his appointment Ukraine wasn't quite independent. But to use the phraseology of India he will do what is necessary to make Ukraine independent.  To translate that into laymen-s terms, Pyatt was saying you, guys, have been way too independent from the US and that's is going to change.  is the outcome is well known.

That wasn't all of course. There were many indicators of what the US was up to a month or so before the Kiev coup d'état. Under ordinary circumstances American diplomats are quite circumspect when it comes to hate speech. But here the U.S. Embassy has used word "titushki" in their official Russian language New Year Greetings. So the New Year greetings message from the US Embassy expressed an opinion that anyone who opposes Euromaidan is a titushka, that is a non-human. Those who oppose Euromaidan are hirelings of Yanukovich and Putin, mercenary militants. Though it was by no means the first instance in US undiplomatic diplomatic practice at least for Ukraine, it was most definitely the first time that represenatives of a foreign government, not just any foreign government but the US Embassy, has justified mass murder of Russian-speaking population in Ukraine in veiled but definitely not vague terms.  As far as the U.S. embassy was concerned those who opposed Euromaidan were non-humansmere titushki, who will be subsequently killed, burned, shelled, bombed, tortured, in Odessa, Lugansk, Donetsk and other cities, everywhere that people tried to openly oppose the US-installed regime in Kiev.

Pyatt's service track record on its own is a logical overture to what he was doing to the Ukraine . First there was Honduras, a long suffering victim of American imperialism. There as a young diplomat he learned the art of corrupting public officials and of advancing U.S. interests against the interests of the host nation. After that assignment, he studied former Soviet republics and worked at the service headquarters. Then he practiced what he had learned in the National Security Council and worked with intelligence agencies.  Then another call of duty: this time he was dispatched to Pakistan. At that destination his clients were, well, terrorists. By all accounts Pyatt did a good job there.  Hong Kong was the next location for our character to try his prowess. Not bad: preparation for the upcoming Umbrella Revolution followed by a new appointment. This time to India. At his new post Pyatt was working with agents of Indian National Security and by all counts he did more than okay there. After India he was promoted to a higher level: International Organizations.  Thanks to Pyatt the U.S. has aquired its own puppet Director of the IAEA, whose only occupation seems to consist of agitating against Syria. Then Pyatt was appointed to the South and Central Asia Affairs Bureau. He wasn't studying Asian cooking there. In fact Geoffrey was given a very special task, the ultimate task of them all: remaking the former USSR.

If this vocational trend is to continue both Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan must brace for major trouble ahead.

The danger level for Russia is also glowing red. The new U.S. Ambassador to that country has been named "anticrisis ambassador". We already saw another one with the same title – in Kiev. Like ordinary mortals most journalists are not good at making forecasts for the future. But what happened in Kiev can serve as a good guide and it's easy to predict what John Tefft will try to pull off in Moscow: some local version of an Euromaidan and a Civil War that will inevitably follow it, consequently a major international crisis with grave consequences for the rest of Europe.  The world will face a disaster if the US is allowed to succeed the way it “succeeded” in Ukraine.
