Imagine your country being invaded by a frightening combination of stealthy military force and mafia/street thugs carrying advanced, high-tech weaponry...
yet refusing to wear insignia, produce ID, or even tell the truth re. who they are, where they came from, or what they are doing there. And nobody does anything to stop them, either inside or outside the country.

Then the few patriots that do dare to speak-out against the invader's lies and territorial aggression begin to simply disappear...

Kiev Post:  Twelve persons, including journalists (and one American), have been kidnapped over the past week in the eastern Ukrainian cities of Sloviansk and Horlivka, according to Kyiv Post reporting and that of Donetsk-based news website Novosti Donbassa. Some have been released while two have been found dead. 

April 22 – In Sloviansk, the bodies of two men were found near the river Torets with signs of torture, according to Ukraine’s Interior Ministry. One of them has been identified as Volodymyr Rybak, a Horlivka city councilman believed to have been kidnapped on April 17. He was found with a sandbag tied around his body and a slash across his stomach. He is believed to have drowned in the river while unconscious. According to the ministry’s reports, members of the pro-Russian separatist group who seized the city’s security services building were involved in the alleged torture and murder of the two men.

Meanwhile in Moscow, a Russian company has issued 500 examples of a massive collector's coin/medallion celebrating Putin's conquest of the Crimea peninsula (marketed as '1kg of Nobility')-
you know, same peninsula the Kremlin said had 'no Russian forces' in it.

So what's the tacky medal for?

Too bad this kind of attention doesn't get paid to the more than 2000 children reported missing every day in the United States.

A question of priorities I suppose.

I have watched the Vice News Ostrovsky reports. I’m guessing he will not be heard from again just because he is an American.

In Russia, the whole Ukraine situation is being played as a big East-West confrontation, one not of Russia’s creation, and is the leading news on every news show, every day.

Meanwhile, in America, ABC Evening News devotes 14 minutes to the Royal Clinton Baby.

The differences are pretty stark.

“Yes, and their headquarters is in Washington, D.C.”

they are called “NGO’s”, and they have been financed by USAID, Omidyar, and Soros.

I posted one of the guy’s videos on my blog last month... I was thinking I wouldn’t go there if I was him as I watched it

[Reaganite Republican]

Agreed

btw it is 16 people kidnapped now,
and a Russian special forces commander has been implicated in the murder and torture of the city councilman who DARED raise a Ukrainian flag on the town hall...

You know the Kiev Post is the Ukrainian equivalent of Pravda don’t you.
