Insider trading? LOL!
Betting against the government was more like it. You could have done the same, no inside info needed.
Wait until you see his sharks!
Do they have frickin’ laser beams on their heads?
Just watched the whole thing. Thanks. Very brave young people.
Apparently, somebody believes that being democratically elected gives one the power to jail political opponents, pass dictatorial laws, kidnap, torture and murder those who are of different opinion.
How can you be defending this man? It’s indefensible.
People who blame Soros make more sense, and that’s not saying much
Yes they are. It’s a tough video to watch.
You’ve seen them!!!
Fascism and Socialism: Still Not Opposites

This is not a coincidence. Yanukovych is reportedly in Kharkiv, a pro-Yanukovych stronghold (or its supposed to be), and hes at a conference of the Ukrainian Front, a collection of politicians, and pro-government street thugs, who are willing to die for the President. But as a recent article by John Schindler, on The XX Committee, points out, the Ukranian Front appears to be deeply influenced and controlled by the Russian government. In fact, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Russian State Duma, Alexei Pushkov, is present in Kharkiv right now. Heres what the report has to say about the nature of the Ukrainian Front:
It seems Moscow is not pleased with its protege Yanukovych and his inability to crush the opposition, so it is forming a new grouping to assist the hardliners. Given that the appearance of the Ukrainian Front has been heralded with a birth announcement in the Kremlins official newspaper, Russian approval and support can be assumed.
Moreover, the embrace of Stalinist-era rhetoric by the Ukrainian Front indicates a great deal, and will serve as a needless irritant towards Ukrainians who detest Stalin and his murderous legacy. In a similar vein, Communist activists have unveiled a bust of Stalin in Western Ukraine, a provocation that is about as offensive to most locals there as a statue of Hitler would be in the rest of Europe. Of course, hailing Stalins victories in the 1940′s is of a piece with the current Kremlin vilification campaign against all Ukrainians who do not want their country to be subjugated by Russia, a nasty agitprop line that regrettably has Western supporters, not all of them unwitting dupes.
Now that the Ukrainian Front has entered the picture, with Moscows imprimatur, expect the situation in Ukraine to only get worse. It would be difficult to overstate the danger Ukraine and Europe are in at the moment thanks to intimidation, meddling and provocation by Vladimir Putins Kremlin. European governments would be well advised to not permit naked Russian interference of a violent and coercive sort in Ukrainian politics: this cannot end well.
And now we have rallies in Sevastopol, where the Russian Black Fleet is anchored, in favor of reuniting with Russia (jump to update 1410).
So far, I’ve found that antisemitism in Ukraine has been spoken and acted out by both Russian identity and other Ukrainian groups. It appears that most of the antisemitic political speech has come from some of the Ukrainian nationalist politicians, while most of the physical attacks were perpetrated by Russian identity skinheads.
A political opponent of Yulia Tymoshenko, former Prime Minister now freed from prison, publicly said that she was Jewish from an assumption that it would hurt her political prospects. Most Ukrainians have rejected candidates who publicly spoke antisemitism, although there’s also been too much tolerance for publicly expressed antisemitism (not enough public criticism against antisemitic statements).
It looks like there’s much antisemitism in former Soviet satellite countries. There’s also much antisemitism in Russia. The same is true of all of the nations on the planet to various extents. Israel has no really trustworthy international friends.
>>while most of the physical attacks were perpetrated by Russian identity skinheads.<<
LOL. I’d like to see what methods you are using to determine their ethnic identity. Or maybe some Ukrainian nationalists told you?
