Are you sure it was the IMF? I thought it was George Soros and Monsanto.
I think it was the German press that first reported what the IMF dictated to Kiev and the news services all carried the story. One day the IMF tells Kiev they'd better use whatever force was necessary to regain control of the East or their loans to the Ukraine would be reconsidered. The next day Kiev sent troops east with orders to use whatever force necessary to get the protesters out of the streets.
Even the propaganda rag in Kiev carried the story so apparently the propaganda rag you so frequently quote is not trustworthy, right?
Now, if you want pretend that's a conspiracy theory you go right ahead.
