The Ukraine Crisis and the ‘Eastern Partnership’
In response to Russia’s absorption of Crimea, some voices in countries that were formerly part of the USSR and are now ‘independent’ are reacting irresponsibly by calling for action by NATO. They talk about Czechslovakia and 1938 and forget what happened 6-9 August 1945. This is not 1938; we now have nuclear weapons and Cuba in 1962 should have taught us the folly of playing nuclear poker with the very exisatence of mankind.
The Ukraine crisis began in late November 2013 when President Yanukovych of Ukraine rejected the Eastern Partnership Association Agreement with the EU and opted instead for an agreement with Russia. That prompted the Maidan demonstrations in Kiev that focused especially on issues of corruption. But soon the demonstrations were joined by Far Right elements and the violence increased, reaching appalling levels in February 2014. But what was the EU Eastern Partnership – a project supposedly devised by Poland and Sweden – actually for? In the autumn, before the protests got seriously underway in Kiev, the following two articles appeared from Lithuania:
http://www.tspmi.vu.lt/tinklarastis/2013/10/tomas-janeliunas-the-main-advocate-of-the-eu-eastern-partnership-programme/ Note the reference to Brzezinski’s Grand Chessboard here.
http://www.lithuaniatribune.com/50145/kirkilas-eastern-partnership-dilemma-the-eu-or-russia-democracy-or-autocracy-201350145/ From Sept 2013:
For Lithuania, given the country’s European integration experience, the Eastern Partnership has naturally become the No 1 priority of its EU Presidency. Lithuania strongly holds on the position that these countries should be helped to make the ‘right’ decision towards Europe and given a credit of trust in advance, especially now, when Armenia might be lost to Russia’s geopolitical project. Demand or “waiting and seeing” strategy is no longer feasible, if Europe does not want to lose the other three.
The major battle is now for Ukraine (democracy ranking 80th). Georgia and Moldova will likely follow the pattern afterwards. Therefore, Lithuania hopes that during the Vilnius Summit of Eastern Partnership the EU Association Agreement will be signed with Ukraine and the Free Trade Agreements will be initialled with Georgia and Moldova.
Zbigniew Brzezinski in his famous book on Eastern Europe ‘The Grand Chessboard’ states, that “with Ukraine Russia is an Empire, without Ukraine – it’s not. The politicians in Russia took it very literally and doing everything in their power to keep Ukraine in their sphere of influence”. With Ukraine Russia is an Empire, without Ukraine – it’s not.
And now from the horse’s mouth:
http://www.economist.com/news/europe/21590585-success-eastern-partnership-depends-ukraine-playing-east-against-west 23 Nov 2013 (note the date – just before the Maidan demos got going)
From the “Charlemagne” section: “Playing East against West” “The success of the Eastern Partnership depends on Ukraine”
“Perhaps not since the end of the cold war has Europe hosted such a raw geopolitical contest.”
(Nb Malcolm Rifkind this morning on BBC radio said: “not since 1945….”)
IN JUNE 1709 Peter the Great fought a decisive battle against the Swedish king, Charles XII, at Poltava, in what is now Ukraine. Ukrainians fought on both sides. Ivan Mazepa, a Ukrainian Cossack Hetman, had sided with Sweden in a quest for Ukrainian independence. But the battle ended in Sweden’s defeat: Russia swept westward, dominated all of the Baltics and turned Poland into a satellite.
On November 28th the heads of European Union member states will gather in Vilnius, Lithuania’s capital, for a summit of the “Eastern Partnership”. This project was championed by Poland and Sweden in 2008 as a way of engaging with six former Soviet republics (Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia) after Russia blocked Georgia’s and Ukraine’s path to NATO. The success or failure of this venture depends on whether Ukraine, by far the largest and most important of the six, signs an association and free-trade agreement with the EU.
Radek Sikorski and Carl Bildt, the foreign ministers of Poland and Sweden, have put their reputations on the line. Ukraine is of particular importance to Poland, for historical reasons, but also as an emblem of Poland’s dominant role in eastern Europe. For Mr Bildt, signing the agreement with Ukraine is a test of Europe’s pulling power and its ability to enact its own foreign policy…Losing Ukraine to Europe has long been a Russian nightmare. Although Ukraine declared its independence 23 years ago, Russia has never fully internalised it.
As Zbigniew Brzezinski, national-security adviser to President Jimmy Carter, explained two decades ago: “Russia can be either an empire or a democracy, but it cannot be both …Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be an empire, but with Ukraine suborned and then subordinated, Russia automatically becomes an empire.” The “loss” of Ukraine would push Russia’s western border back to where it was in the 17th century. It would also make a mockery of Mr Putin’s project for a Eurasian union and his mission as a gatherer of Russian lands….[final sentence:] Even if the Swedes and Poles triumph in Vilnius, they would be foolhardy to celebrate.
[As the writer well knows, it was not so much Sweden or Poland that were seeking to triumph in Vilnius, it was Zbigniew Brzezinski and his comrades. - Terry]
[I've just heard Poland has called for a meeting under NATO's self-defence clause; BBC is now discussing NATO 'hard power' options. NATO likely to send forces to eastern Poland: "the Russians only respect military demonstrations of red lines" - Terry]
It’s always worth revisiting Brzezinski’s The Grand Chessboard (1997)…. I did so again recently, and the sheer level of subtle and not so subtle vitriol and venom against Russia that breathes throughout the whole book struck me again. It’s worth watching the man in action here:
In the article in Foreign Affairs Sept 2009 which this video interview is referring to, Brzezinski in 2009 here talks about the need for a “cooling off period” after the 2008 war between Russia and Georgia before EU/NATO moves are made in the direction of Ukraine. Was that cooling off period 2008-2013? Did Brzezinski actually have input in the formation of the Eastern Partnership concept? He writes in the article: “for promoting and consolidating positive change in the East” the Eastern Partnership …could very well be an effective instrument…”
Putin and his advisers are under no illusions that ZB was behind the spirit of the Eastern Partnership if not the actual concept itself:
http://nationalinterest.org/commentary/the-mania-ukraine%E2%80%99s-euromaidan-9636
Putin adviser Sergei Glazyev writes:
Despite the fact that Ukraine’s participation in the Common Economic Space with Russia is natural and vital for the development of Ukraine’s economy, culture and education, it is being opposed by the anti-Russian policy of Washington and its NATO allies in Kiev. This policy is steered by Zbigniew Brzezinski who convinced the American geopolitical machine that Russia could never return to its Great Power status without Ukraine.
The main problem is the nature of the EU itself. It is not ‘European’ and it is not a bridge; it is a sub-western* construct – a transatlantic superhighway – serving the transatlantic interests very capably presented through Zbigniew Brzezinski in 1997. Those who see through the EU project have to decide whether they feel it should be accepted as such and that the attempt could be made to metamorphose it into something ‘good’, or else, that it should be scrapped and Europeans begin again with an altogether different form of associative community. Personally, I’m not convinced that the former is the way to go. It seems to me like it would be an attempt to pour ‘new wine in old wineskins’. A real alternative has been available to Europe for almost 100 years since Rudolf Steiner first spoke about the threefolding of the social organism.

SANDY HOOK
You may have seen this already.
http://www.cryptogon.com/?p=32818
Very good thread. Watch especially The Sandy Hook Shooting Fully Exposed
Note also that this on the page
Via: NBC:
“The weapons used in Friday’s shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., were legally purchased and registered to Nancy Lanza, the mother of the gunman, Adam Lanza, two law enforcement officials told NBC News.The gunman was clad in black and used two 9mm pistols to kill 20 small children and six adults at the school. It was unclear how many shots were fired there”
is DIRECTLY contradicted by the words of the Medical Examiner in the first video on the Cryptogon page who said that a rifle was used in the killings.
By the way, 14 December was the day of the fatal attack on Kaspar Hauser who was born in 1812, 200 years before. You might think that is stretching things too far, but if you take seriously the possibility, probability, that that guy in the Cryptogon video – Gene Rosen – was acting and lying through his teeth about such an event then you have to ask yourself what kind of ‘per-sona’ is he? What level of evil are we dealing with here? And in the year, the Kaspar Hauser anniversary year, in which the Jimmy Saville affair was also blown wide open in the English-speaking world, the worst levels of evil are surely those in which horrendous things are done to children.
If Kaspar Hauser is as important a spiritual being as he is considered to be, then he surely represents something like the true child within each of us and as such, it’s not perhaps too far-fetched to imagine that the day chosen by evil forces for such a deed against children might be associated with him, especially in ‘his’ anniversary year. 14 Dec is the 348th day of the year, leaving 17 days left to run before the end of the year. Kaspar Hauser died on the 17th December from the wounds he received on the 14th.
After the absurdity of the O’Bama kills Osama affair, it’s clear that the PTB in the US now feel they can pull off any stunt, do a little “media magic” hocus-pocus over it and Joe Public in the US will just shrug and let them carry on.
By the way, I very much recommend the following on 9/11 if you haven’t seen it; it’s made by architects, engineers, physicists, chemists and other knowledgeable people: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddz2mw2vaEg The fact that the mainstream media ignores this kind of evidence is IMHO evidence of…. dare I say it…. a cover-up. Yet Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen and now Mali go on, alljustifed by 9/11 and the so-called ‘al-Qaeda threat’.
One of the things that operates like a clamp on some people’s minds is the thought that “our government would never do that!” which keeps them from seeing that a government could actually deliberately bring about the deaths of its own citizens by commission or omission. People on both right and left fall for this – the right because of the patriotic “my country right or wrong” attitude, and the left because of their tendency to believe in government and state action (as a symbol of community and protection of the weak) againsy selfish and greedy individuals. Especially when there’s a leftwing government in power, they find it hard to conceive that it could kill its own citizens for ulterior motives. But that’s what our government did in 2003 when we invaded Iraq and what the American government did then too and also in 1991 and also in 1967 when it allowed the Israelis to attack an American warship and kill many of the crew, the USS LIberty.
Here are two documentaries on the issue, one British, one American.

China – Japan: Just The Tip Of The Iceberg – Analysis
Japan: U.S. Pawn In Campaign To Encircle China
Time for Tough Measures

WWII Clouds Loom Over China-Japan Dispute on Senkaku Islands
In its relations with Japan, China frequently brings up the topic of Japanese aggression and atrocities in China from the late 19th century Sino-Japanese war continuing throughout World War II. The dispute with Japan is now part of the legacy of World War II and China claims that under the Potsdam Declaration of 1945, Japan was obligated to return all the territories seized illegally.
The above means that the dispute over the islands is now connected to one of the most highly charged issues in Sino-Japanese history, making it a matter of national honor for the Chinese that is not subject to negotiation.
In the interim, China has allowed anti-Japanese demonstrators a relative freehand (“Their feelings are perfectly understandable” explained the Chinese Foreign Ministry) and the Japanese Embassy in Beijing has issued warnings to Japanese citizens and businessmen to take precautionary measures.
Japanese participation in public and private events in China has been canceled as part of the anti-Japanese mood.

A Seasonal Blog – The Christmas Truth, 1914 [External Link]
This is an interesting piece written by Gerry Docherty and Jim MacGregor on the Christmas Truce of 1914 and the current attempt by a British supermarket chain to cash in on the memory of the Truce, from Docherty and MacGregor’s blog “Hidden History”. Gerry Docherty and Jim MacGregor are the authors of the book Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War (2013), which investigates the activities of the Rhodes-Milner Group in the period 1890-1914 and their influence on British war-planning.
