Ukraine: The oligarchs strike back!

Untimely Thoughts ^ | 1/10/2005 | Peter Lavelle

Yulia Tymoshenko at one time was the energy czar, and in 5 short years she increased her net worth by $11.5 billion by siphoning off Russian gas and selling it to others at market prices. The new contract with Russia has safeguards to stop the siphoning.

So for those not following too closely, (ME-lol) the dude that had his face messed up by food poisening by the communists, had a lady in charge of energy that sucked out gas from a Russian pipe that ran through the Ukraine which made the russkies threaten to stop the flow. She was booted out. In simple terms is that what happened? Please help -thanks!

she's neck deep in the mob as well.

Russian, Ukraine, Syria, Iran, etc, etc... its all the same. Countries where organized crime runs the show.

It was a fine thing Yushenko did in getting that badly burned young ukrainian girl to our shriner's hospital in boston. It shows the quality of his character. There is of course an energy solution that makes hydrocarbon supplies moot, wanna hear about it?

Firstly, do you know for certain the Russian FSB poisoned Yushchenko? Quite frankly I have my doubts, because they don't make mistakes, and he would be dead by now. I suspect it was either the former regime or the ambitious Yulia Tymoshenko.

Secondly, Yulia Tymoshenko was booted out. However, remember she made her $11.5 billion siphoning off gas, which shows her character. I find it hard to believe, but the New Jersey GOP shows her as a Republican Babe of the Month. Never mind the fact that she wants to re-nationalize all the industry in the Ukraine. The lady keeps coming back time after time even after being booted out twice.

Have you ever heard of Al Capone and his acts of charity for the poor?

I was mildly surprised anyone fell for that one here, but i guess the pols do things like that because it DOES influence people.

Yulia has been up to all kinds of mischief. She also controls several of the telephone companies, and has it is rumored all kinds of money over seas.

She is however politically potent, and is going to be a player.

Yulia has more ambition than WJC, and there is no doubt she is determined to be Goddess of the Ukraine.

BTW Good point regarding the Shiner's hospitals. There's like 30 of them and they are FREE and PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION.

Unfortunatly many are on the verge of closing because they CAN'T GET ENOUGH PATIENTS!

If you know of a child in need you should really point them toward this amazing FREE HOSPITAL.

Nope, I am a hermit. I live in a cave with only a solar panel to provide electricity for my computer and wireless connection. I am a vegan and I worry that the plants I eat may really have feelings, too. I read once that plants emit a noise when cut. Takes all the pleasure out of eating.

I don't know how true this is- selloff of the steal giant Kryvorishstal' was her project.

You want to know what I think of Yulia?- I love her, but in Tymoshenko versus Yuschenko face-off I am backing Yuschenko. Her coming over to the "dark side" (joining Regions, SDPU and Communists in opposing Yuschenko) is very troubling and I hope it's a temporary tactic.

Just intone OM-OM-OM to them as you bite down...

As a shriner, a bit of inside info : 22 of them, 20 in US, 1 in canada and 1 in mexico city. Free of course, supported by a 6 to 9 billion fund(interest thereon). Our local shrine clubs are responsible for getting local kids to and from the hospitals(transportation funds), thus our circus and other fund raisers. As to occupancy being only about 40%, they have found that operating on them quickly and getting them back HOME is more cost effective than full time care in the hospital, you can see the business logic of that. I did get a chance to talk to Denny Hastert this summer about expanding our shrine hospital network into mash-type units in foreign countries(outlier clinics for our state side hospitals)but our national guys balked at the idea : we need more MONEY, more MEMBERS, the usual excuses...

What is of interest? * Tymoshenko’s alliance with Viktor Yanukovych and the Party of Regions.

Yes, Please take note, Yanukovikniks.
