Igor Kolomoisky Makes A Mistake And The New York Times Does What It Always Does

http://johnhelmer.net/igor-kolomoisky-makes-a-mistake-and-the-new-york-t...

"...Kolomoisky may be the biggest Ukrainian bank robber the FBI has ever pursued, or he may not be. But until a few weeks ago, when he began to threaten the US Government's strategy of 'war against Russia to the last Ukrainian', and an alliance between Kiev and Moscow to deploy tanks in shooting range of the Polish cities of Cracow and Warsaw he was a US asset. Now the newspaper in New York has arranged for Kolomoisky to place himself in the Bulls-eye as America's Public Enemy Number One."

Although Zelensky and most Ukrainians desire an end to this 'frozen conflict', NATO, the US deep state, Canada and the ultranationalist diaspora lobby, wish 'fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian' to continue and to tie the hands of those trying to negotiate peace.

And you posit that this would somehow be better if Trump were not being impeached? Do you imagine that he would be the honest partner Ukraine needs to negotiate peace with Russia?

To quote Gordon Sondland, who donated $1M to Trump's inaugural and was given an ambassadorial post as a reward: "He doesn't give a shit about Ukraine." You seem to live in a fantasy world where Trump is a statesman rather than a con man.

Canada has yet to acknowledge its own culpability in supporting and promoting the US-installed coup regime.

I concur as to the possibly dodgy and dangerous implications of signing or accepting any funds on offer from Ukrainian agents. I'm sure any Canadian lawyer associated with the Iranians concerned will or should already have stressed this point. 

As I understand it, any claims for damages will have to wait until the ICAO process is completed and registered. It is also my understanding that because of US and Canadian sanctions against Iran, no transactions with any Iran state entity are permissable,  so no payment or compensation from them until or unless these are lifted. In truth, as stated elsewhere all manner of things become difficult or impossible until diplomatic relations with Iran, severed under Stephen Harper,  are restored. 

Ukraine may be a different case and it could be that the Ukrainian side can apply for insurance payouts sooner and then sue Iran. Airline base compensation rates can probably be found by searching ICAO or Chicago Convention on the net but they are certainly far greater than the piddling sums reportedly offered by Ukrainians.  And again, I'm sure the Iranians and their lawyers are probably already on this and up to speed or can find legal experts who are ready, able and willing to advise.

Ultimately I'm sure they will receive the settlements they deserve, especially given the manifest malevolence for the Iranian regime by the Canadian state and its 'independent and impartial' justice system. But should they attempt to recover damages through Iran's stolen Canadian assets they may find they've already been given away -  to the Americans...

Court Decision Allows 9/11 Families to Go After Iran's Alberta Assets

https://edmontonjournal.com/national/local-news/court-decision-allows-91...

"Families of people killed in the 9/11/ terrorist attacks will be able to go after Iranian government assets in Alberta after a multi-billion dollar judgment was registered in this province. According to court records, an Alberta court of Queen's Bench master registered a US $7.01 billion judgment against a dozen of its agencies and state-owned companies on March 13 [2019] in Edmonton.

With the decision, Alberta becomes the latest Canadian jurisdiction to recognize the massive judgment originally handed down in a New York court in 2012. Millions of dollars have already been recovered for another group of plaintiffs after a similar case was registered in Ontario."

An outlandish and shameful decision given that unlike America's Saudi friends, Iran not only had nothing to do with 911, but has been the foremost enemy and fighter of Al Qaeda and the alphabet soup of western-backed armed and trained jihadi proxies. This probably should have been posted to the main thread of Flight 752, where discussion on it can/should also continue.

Jewish Groups Warn About Nazi Glorification in Eastern European Nations

"As Holocaust survivors gather to commemorate the 75th anniversary of their rescue from the Auschwitz death camp, [by the Red Army] a wave of glorification of Nazi collaborators and some of the perpetrators of the Holocaust is gaining momentum. 'In early January, torch light parades were held in a number of cities in Ukraine to honour Stepan Bandera, a Ukrainian nationalist and Nazi collaborator whose organization was involved in the killing of Jews and Poles. Ukraine's sponsoring of events to honour such leaders and their nationalist Nazi collaborators linked to the Holocaust prompted official protests from the Israeli and Polish governments. The veneration of such individuals has gathered momentum in the last decade..."

Canada will of course be front and center in the coming unthawing of Ukraine's 'frozen conflict'. Under President Biden probably. Will Canadian leftoids cheer on Ukro-fascists like last time? Will mps again chant 'Slava Ukraini!' as the troops go off to war? Will the deputy pm teach them again how to say it just right? 'Canada onto the world stage', 'feminist foreign policy' etc.

The Far Right, the Euro-Maidan and the Maidan Massacre in Ukraine

https://twitter.com/I_Katchanovski/status/1303176386291658752

"[The] Maidan massacre is one of the most important cases of political violence and fake news in Ukraine and the entire world in the current millenium. It led to the Ukrainian government overthrow, civil war in Donbas, Crimea annexation, Russian military intervention and conflict between the West and Russia. But Ukrainian and Western governments and media, with some notable exceptions, denied, ignored or covered up the overwhelming evidence that Maidan snipers and elements of the Maidan leadership, including the far right, massacred both the protesters and the police..."

"In recent weeks, Kiev's shelling of civilians has intensified, met by predictable western media silence. I asked why the increased shelling now. 'Ukraine's aggression intensified just when Biden came to power in the United States.'

'Ukraine is preparing an offensive in the Donbass again'

https://twitter.com/vicktop55/status/1367770392002183168

"On the night of March 4 a train carrying Ukrainian armored vehicles arrived at the central station in Dnepropetrovsk. The direction of the locomotive indicates that equipment is going to Donbass. Biden's command?"

Indeed,  the Biden administration does not 'command' the Ukrainian military. But their ability to influence Ukrainian affairs however is substantial. These provocations and military moves by Ukraine would not now be occurring without US/EU/NATO consent or encouragement. By all indications these actors have unfortunately decided to 'thaw' the frozen conflict in the resisting east. This is consisent also with  other signs of instigated troubles now being stoked in Russia's 'near abroad'. Canada is and will continue to be deeply involved as well.

"In the Russian Empire the Nudelmans (Victoria Nuland) of Khmelnitsky were separated from the Blinkens (Tony Blinken) of Pereiaslav by a bad road. The US war on Russia has united Ukrainians  - westward, where the anti-semites are, still. Eastward stand the Russians. Still."

Kovalik: Biden Administration wastes no time in provoking Russia with more military aid to Ukraine

https://on.rt.com/b36d

"For the US to provide aid with the explicit purpose of 'enhancing the lethality' of the Ukrainian armed forces is greatly alarming. Post-Maidan Ukraine is the world's only nation to have a neo-Nazi formation in its armed forces.

It is important to note that the US Defense Department makes it clear that, in addition to the $125 million already being allocated to Ukraine, another $150 million is there to be released under certain conditions,* and purging the neo-Nazis from the ranks of Ukraine's armed forces is tellingly NOT one of them..."

Military Clashes Raise Danger of Major Escalation Between Russia and Ukraine

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/04/03/ukra-a03.html

"...On Wednesday, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that 'Ukraine may take provocative actions which could lead to war.' He accused the US of using Ukraine as a means to create conditions for war, stating 'The West is preparing for nothing less than war with us.

On Friday, US President Joe Biden spoke with Zelensky for the first time since he took office. Biden pledged 'unwavering support' for Ukraine against Russia. Throughout the week there were at least three high-level calls between the American and Ukrainian governments, involving Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.

The Wall Street Journal described the crisis as a 'test' for the Biden administration. Since coming into office, the Biden administration has made clear that it would pursue an extremely aggressive course toward Russia. Biden called Putin a 'killer without a soul' in an interview - an extraordinary attack on the head of state of another country - triggering a diplomatic crisis.

Underlying the growing danger of war and the increasingly reckless moves of the imperialist powers and their allies is the profound crisis of the world capitalist system which has been significantly accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic. While the Ukrainian oligarchy's reckless provocations are no doubt in part an effort to divert enormous class tensions outward, the driving force behind the conflict is the historic decline of US imperialism and its efforts to offset it by military means..."
