...could have predicted that south and eastern Ukrainians would began raising their collective voices in favor of seceding from the coup-installed government in Kiev - they didn't choose the IMF-lapdogs and right-wingers the US favored to run things there. The whole affair has been the exact opposite of the democratic ideals the US preaches abroad and our media here has yet again revealed their complicity in all of it.

Now there is news that the mercenaries from Blackwater (now called Greystone) are on the ground in Ukraine to help protect the neo-fascist government there and I'm sure our government officials decided that since official US military involvement there was not feasible, they'd rely on this private army of thugs to help "democracy" along in Ukraine (just as they did in Iraq and Afghanistan). Erik Prince and his band of killers need to be reigned in sooner than later or they will be engineering a fascist takeover of the US (backed by the wealthy elite and corporations). Any powerful nation that has to resort to the use of private, for-profit armies is on its last legs, morally and spiritually.
