Ukraine Updates and More News in Monday

There is the continuation of the Ukrainian and Russian crisis. The current Ukraine government has been created with heavy neo-Nazi influence. Not all opposition people are fascists and neo-Nazis. So, I want to make that clear. The U.S. and the EU embraced the populist revolution in the Ukraine to overthrow the current head of the Ukraine. This doesn't justify Russia's mistakes, but we have to place the truth into context. The coup against Ukraine was an US-EU-NATO sponsored coup d’état which was in violation of international law. The West has engineered a staged cover operation with the proxy agents of neo-Nazis. Confirmed by the Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, key organizations in the Ukraine including the Neo-Nazi party Svoboda were generously supported by Washington: “We have invested more than 5 billion dollars to help Ukraine to achieve these and other goals. … We will continue to promote Ukraine to the future it deserves.” The mainstream media has ignored this story since it is taboo. The Cabinet integrated by the Svoboda and the Right Sector (not to mention the former members of defunct fascist UNA-UNSO) the two main Neo-Nazi entities have been entrusted with key positions which grant them de facto control over the Armed Forces, Police, Justice, and National Security. There is the Yatsenuyk's Fatherland Party that controls the majority of portfolios and Svoboda Neo-Nazi leader Oleh Tyahnybok was not granted a major cabinet post. This was apparently at the request of the assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland. There are members of the Svoboda and the Right Sector that occupy key positions in the areas of Defense, Law Enforcement, Education, and Economic Affairs. Andriy Parubiy is the co-founder of the Neo-Nazi Social-National Party of Ukraine (subsequently renamed Svoboda) was appointed Secretary of the National Security and National Defense Committee (RNBOU). (Рада національної безпеки і оборони України), a key position which oversees the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces, Law Enforcement, National Security and Intelligence. The RNBOU is central decision-making body. While it is formally headed by the president, it is run by the Secretariat with a staff of 180 people including defense, intelligence and national security experts. Parubiy was one of the main leaders behind the Orange Revolution in 2004. His organization was funded by the West. He is referred to by the Western media as the "kommandant" of the EuroMaidan movement. Andriy Parubiy together with party leader Oleh Tyahnybok is a follower of the Ukrainian Nazi Stepan Bandera. Bandera collaborated in the mass murderer of Jews and Poles during WWII. There has been a Neo-Nazi march honoring Stepan Bandera. There is Dmytro Yarosh or the leader of the Right Sector delegation in the parliament has been appointed Parubiy's deputy Secretary of the RNBOU. Yarosh was the leader of the Brown Shirt Neo-Nazi paramilitary during the  EuroMaidan “protest” movement. He has called for disbanding the Party of the regions and the Communist Party. The Neo Nazi party also runs the judicial process with the appointment of Oleh Makhnitsky of the Svoboda party to the prosecutor general of Ukraine. A Neo-Nazi in charge of the Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine is a disgrace. Cabinet positions were also allocated to former members of the Neo-Nazi fringe organization Ukrainian National Assembly – Ukrainian National Self Defense (UNA-UNSO) like Tetyana Chernovol and Yegor Sobolev. The Lustration Committee is to organize the Neo-Nazi witch-hunt against all opponents of the new Neo-Nazi regime. The targets of the lustration campaign are people in positions of authority within the civil service, regional and municipal governments, education, research, etc.  The term lustration refers to the “mass disqualification” of people associated with the former government. It also has racial overtones. It will in all likelihood be directed against Communists, Russians and members of the Jewish community. The West claims to love democratic values, but it has instated a political regime filled with Neo-Nazis. Leading Svoboda members are infamous for bloodthirsty denunciations of Russians. Iryna Farion called Russian speakers “degenerates” who should be imprisoned, and a top Svoboda official believed to be party leader Oleh Tyahnybok proposed on Svoboda forums to “physically liquidate all Russian-speaking intellectuals and all Ukrainophobes … registering Ukrainophobes can be done here by any member of Svoboda.” This new government could end its bilateral relations with the Russian Federation. This escalation could lead to a confrontation of Russia and NATO. Ukraine's National Security and National Defense Committee or the RNBOU are controlled heavily by Neo-Nazis. In the confrontation with Moscow, decisions taken by the RNBOU headed by Neo-Nazi Parubiy and his brown Shirt deputy Dmytro Yarosh –in consultation with Washington and Brussels– could potentially have devastating consequences. Ukraine's new government is loved by neo-con John McCain. He is in support of the Neo Nazi Svoboda leader Oleh Tyahnybok. So, we know what the deal is. The deal is that the Crimean region has cultural including military ties to Russia. The new neo-liberal Ukrainian state is filled with Neo-Nazis that we should not support and this incident is very serious. 

The evil divide and conquer strategy (which have been utilized against us as a people, the poor, and other oppressed human beings) has always been used by the PTB as a means for human beings to ignore the bigger picture. The bigger picture is that we are oppressed by the same oppressor (that loves the agendas of oligarchy and cultural exploitation) regardless of where we live or our physical appearance. Therefore, it is our responsibility to witness the handwriting on the wall and do what is right. What is right is for us to stand up and defend our people regardless if they are light, brown, or dark in their skin hues. We should never tolerate the abomination of colorism at all. This struggle for our liberation is legitimate as we are in the right. We have the truth on our sides. The truth can be simple at times and you have shown it. Their (or the white racists) own insecurities (and jealousies about the BEAUTY OF BLACKNESS. NOTHING IS SUPERIOR TO THE BEAUTY OF BLACKNESS at all) cause them to artificially create faux beauty standards. They infect society with bigoted propaganda that runs against the concrete truth that all humans are created equal. The current system has been manipulative, materialistic, and nefarious. That is why we must advocate a radical revolutionary change of values (from materialism to altruism and from the status quo to true justice). Power has been unfairly owned by a select elite and that is why we need a radical redistribution of political and economic power as the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said. We certainly know that Dr. King was to the left of liberals and conservatives. Dr. King was a revolutionary albeit a nonviolent revolutionary Christian human being. Also, I have been researching about democratic cooperatives too. Yes, more folks should realize how important the colorism issue is. The good news is that more people are talking about it as found in the Dark Girls documentary and the OWN TV discussion about this issue. We have to discuss about this issue too as a means for us to heal and make ourselves whole as black people. BLACK UNITY is one great means to adhere to as well.

Divide and conquer strategy again. Why haven't the media gone after others who exposed the weaknesses of gentrification for years? Human beings have the right to disagree with the imperfections found in gentrification. They are trying to make an example out of Spike Lee. That is why we should be careful, continue to be morally upright, and stick to our core convictions. Even Dr. Claud Anderson talked about this issue. So, gentrification is a form of ethnic displacement of black people where the political power base of black people is readily displaced. Spike Lee was not the first black man to talk about this subject and he will not be the last. They love to try to cause division in many sections of the black community via COINTELPRO and other programs (as you have mentioned). I did not know that Anthony Mackie said that he loves gentrification. It is bigger than Mackie since the enemy will stop at nothing to prevent black liberation. They plan ahead years and something decades in advance. Gentrification is one tactic that they have used. Imperialism is another since our legacy as black people have always been opposition to imperialism from Malcolm X, the Black Panthers, and to Dr. King (now, some black people want to support imperialism even against Africans). So, the enemy uses strategies and we should use strategies to fight back too. Groups of people that the establishment hates are Strong, Intelligent, and Independent thinking black people. That is why they always tolerate black misleading spokesmen instead of true BLACK LEADERS. Folks can only mention NSM 200 and that alone can document how the establishment plans certain agendas for the black community and others for a long time. I hope to God Detroit won't transform into what some think it will transform in 20 to 30 years (which is a privatized paradise for select interests), but if history is a guide, then that prediction may be realized. You can only shake your head at the evil (and fight evil). Sometimes, they plan centuries in advance too. Dr. John Dee predicted the Anglo-American empire back centuries ago. Sir Francis Bacon predicted that America will be the New Atlantis filled with skyscrapers, scientists, underwater vehicles, and the whole nine yards back in the late 1500's. Cecil Rhodes wanted Africa to be dominated by European colonialists as said in his will. So, they are busy as bees. We should use strong strategies too. Certainly, you are right that black people should thrive for excellence, read, educate ourselves and others, and fight proactively against a vicious enemy. Time after time again, we as a people see the handwriting on the wall. God gave us a brain to use it and many of us will use it. Some will be left behind.

Lupita Nyong’o gave a magnificent speech (on her life, a person that she inspired, and the issue of true beauty). She is courageous, intelligent, and a very beautiful Black Woman as everyone in this forum has outlined. All Dark skinned black people should never be ashamed of their strength and beauty at all. Lupita represents the dignity, honor, and strength of black people. She greatly motivates us to continue to fight against colorism and any evil in the world. All of our shades in our people should be respected and celebrated. BEAUTY IS SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE as Lupita has eloquently said. It is important to treat our neighbors as ourselves and to stand up for truth, compassion, dignity, and justice. Lupita is a great role model for females too. We all wish more blessings to Lupita Nyong'o completely. We all love her. :) When I see Lupito, I see an extremely beautiful black African woman. We are Africans too. We are just Diaspora Africans. Kwame Ture had it right to call us Africans. Now, our stories and our experiences in America ought to be respected as Diaspora Africans. As Diaspora Africans living in America, our pain, our struggle, and our tribulations should not be minimized or omitted by anyone. Yet, we have to reminded that we are one people. We are from one blood and we all are from Africa one way or another. There are many Africans that know our struggle and know our history. Of course, some Africans need to wake up and some Diaspora Africans need to wake up too. Many Africans are rich and some are poor. Poor Africans go through similar struggles as poor Diaspora Africans living in the ghettos of the States. So, Africans globally ought to be more UNIFIED. Our experiences are not totally identical, but our struggle for liberation is the SAME. OUR ANCESTORS ARE THE SAME AND OUR LOVE OF BLACKNESS IS THE SAME. There are tons of Africans globally who know what time it is, but we as Diaspora Africans can educate other Africans about our situations. Africans can educate us about their situations too. In that sense, we can use real strategies as a means to fight back against oppression. We will never embrace division in our people based on nationality at all. At the end of the day, we are ONE BLACK PEOPLE. There is nothing wrong with pan-Africanism as so many of our Brothers and and our Sisters have advocated.

Yes, we are our Brothers and Sisters' keepers, but we as black people have been treated not as Brothers and Sisters by this society (but as exploited second class citizens in this country. We have been treated as 21st century slaves by the establishment via the capitalist prison industrial complex, via the domestic colonies of ghettoes nationwide [where poor black people are scapegoated for the crimes of the super-rich. The poor are readily exploited by corporate interests], and via the forces of reaction in the world). We are just not free. The only solution is radical, revolutionary solutions to address the needs and aspiration of black people. There should be an all of the above approach. Real, grassroots organizations that are actually doing the good work in fighting poverty, fighting crime, and fighting other injustices should be funded. Also, we have to cultivate more mass movements too since such movements ended the injustices of authoritarian monarchies, slavery, serfdom, and other evils that harmed the human family. WE HAVE TO EDUCATE BLACK YOUTH ON THEIR REAL HISTORY, THEIR REAL CULTURE, AND THE EVILS OF WHITE SUPREMACY. WITHOUT TRUE EDUCATION GIVEN TO THE YOUTH, NOTHING CHANGES MASSIVELY OR IN A REVOLUTIONARY FASHION. WE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT WE ARE VICTIMS OF OPPRESSION AND WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO STAND UP FOR OUR BLACK PEOPLE. WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST AND WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT. WE HAVE TO HAVE MORE SELF DETERMINATION AMONG BLACK PEOPLE SINCE THE ENEMY CAN NEVER GIVE US THE REAL TRUTH. ONLY OUR OWN PEOPLE (WHO ARE REAL AND HONORABLE) CAN GIVE US UNFILTERED, EXCELLENT TRUTH. OUR BLACKNESS IS BEAUTIFUL. We should use means to address economic inequality and the disparities in our nation (like unfair corporate subsidies, unfair tax breaks, corporate welfare, etc. should be abolished. There should be a crackdown on corporate & Wall Street crimes against the American people). Also, we can't have guns and butter. The war on terror has been an abomination and imperialism should end as a means to develop the domestic needs of the people. Obviously, we know that the ELITES dominate the leaderships of both major parties. We ought to fight back against the surveillance state that violates human civil liberties. NOTHING CHANGES UNLESS WE ADDRESS THE SOCIAL CONDITIONS without blaming black youth for all issues under the sun. There should be no excuses for unjust laws, for lax educational services in poorer communities, and for oppression in our country. We have to fight oppression. When we do what is right, then we respect the dignity of the human personality. Black institutions should be supported too (including the fact there is nothing wrong with cooperatives, debt free money, ending QE, having the breakup of the big banks, etc.). I do hope that real, legitimate programs can come about to positively assist youths of color in a real way. We want people to survive and live productive lives.
