Kyiv
Post 
ORIGINAL After
a
teaser of decriminalizing the 
ridiculous charges against Tymoshenko,
the Yanukovich government decided to crucify her- with a dozen new
investigations inc. contract killing. In the financial charges
there may be a glimmer of truth, but the 7 year treason sentence for
her normal duties was preposterous. Examples of treason, betraying
one's state, were the Oedipal Bush-neocon invasion of Iraq, which
benefited no one but war profiteer Dick Cheney and killed
300-400,000... or the throwing of the RosUkrEnergo
case in the
Stockholm Arbitration Tribunal, which
bankrupted state co. Naftogaz and could lose Ukraine its sovereignty-

THE INFINITE
PUTIN - In the News ARCHIVE Capital Times ORIGINAL
Moscow: Putin is supposed to leave office in March,
but that was impossible to believe. Appointing
unknown crony Viktor Zubkov PM (told only the
day before and rammed through
rubber stamp Congress 2 days later) ends
the doubt. Zubkov will be anointed President
(+ win), Putin will become Prime Minister, and Zubkov may
resign in 6-12 months to
let Vladimir Vladimirovich return as Prez.
Massive conflicts of interests in the Kremlin,
where mini oligarch ministers control the
biggest corporations in the world and can't
separate their interests from those of the
state, crushing and absorbing competitors.-

Weekly - Ukraine got some

space on
gas prices- 30% discount in exchange
for 25 years longer stay of Black Sea Fleet, but at what cost;
Tymoshenko's deal was
horrible, Ukr paid among the highest prices
in Europe, but gas is plentiful due to exploding
US (and soon Polish/Ukr) shale gas production
and Ukraine has negligible transportation
costs, so the 30% "discount" was maybe
4%; Is the next part of this deal turning
over Ukraine's pipelines to Russia, it's
last bargaining chip? With Russia buying
Industrial Union of Donbass, (probably) stage-managing the
Kyrgyz revolt,
helping Ukraine with billions of loans for
nuclear power plants- Russia is rising, and

Ukraine
KIEV: Mar 25, Ex-convict ex-PM
Yanukovich has won the Presidential election by 3.47% points over Tymoshenko
in a 69% turnout. She claimed fraud and
challenged the result in a friendly
Appeals Court (which was threatened in an
occupation by POR MP's weeks ago), but liberals
were dispirited. 4.4% voted "against all". All
election observer groups have declared
the result fair. On Feb 20th Tymoshenko withdrew
her challenge when the court rejected some
of her claims and Yanukovich was
inaugurated Feb 25th. With blinding
speed, her coalition collapsed
and enough of her BYuT delegates and orphaned Our Ukraine
MOP's
defected

Yanukovich's
Party of Regions to
give them a majority and end her reign as PM
on March 3 (though that violates the Constitution).
Yanukovich immediately packed his Cabinet
with the billionaire bosses of the POR, without a single Orange
face, and has moved
to control the Court system and attain absolute
control.Yushchenko's reckless constant
undercutting
of Tymoshenko, no matter what the damage
to the country, has given Ukraine back to
the oligarchs, and to a lesser extent Russia,
as dreams of European integration recede

FIASCO - Scoop, OpEdNews It was all suppose to go right this time,
but Obama's obsession with compromise and bipartisanship may doom the
health care plan to an exorbitant boondoggle,
enriching the medical/drug complex parasites
beyond their wildest dreams, and breaking
the back of the US financial system. The
best option that works around the world-
single payer- wasn't on the table, but the
most corrupt provision ever- no negotiation for bulk drug prices
(estimated to waste $60 billion/year) is
enshrined in it. A handful of right-wing
screaming shills at town halls are defeating
a 70% popular plan. Congress is bought and
paid for on this issue, on both sides of

NUCLEAR CHICKEN-1998 -Likelihood of India-Pakistan nuclear
exchange. Danger from nukes far higher when
only a few, rather than thousands, because
first strike will destroy enemies' bombs.
Both have missiles + Pakistan has promised
to mount nukes on them- which WILL lead to
a war, because nation doesn't attack because
he wants to destroy enemy, attacks because
convinced enemy is about to. Periodically 1000 people are
hacked and
beaten to death in religious riots in India:
both peoples are highly excitable and hate
each other more than the Arabs and Israelis.
+50% probability of nuke war in next 3-5
years. Have written 3 long papers on nuclear
threat over 30 years.
The NAME of the GAME (July '98) Fame has become so
pathologically desired
that people will do anything for it. Monica,
Paula, Linda + anyone who achieves major
fame through any means will likely be a millionaire,
yet the media feigns ignorance of this contaminating
fact. What is his "strategy", questioned
pundits when Ginsburg (Monica's lawyer) was
on all 5 Sun. panel news shows one day. The
twisted kids blowing away their classmates
are partly motivated and validated by the
massive exposure of TV- they too want to
exist in the nat. consciousness, rather than
the painful swamp of adolescent politics.

ILLEGAL DRUGS
In Oct `99, the US government admitted that the source of Gulf War Syndrome could have been the anti-nerve gas drug that a 1/2 million soldiers were forced to take... 3 years after concrete medical experiments proved it. Infuriatingly this letter wasn't run (as about 70% of my nat. mag letters have been). When the pyridostigmine bromide story was coming out in `96, SUDDENLY, the Pentagon revealed that 5 or 10 or 22 thousand troops were exposed to nerve gases when they detonated Iraqi bombs and shells in an ammo dump- the timing (5 1/2 years later) was so convenient that they must have been panicked to admit their culpability in hurting many more troops than Sadaam. Wonder what's changed. The delayed upshot of this is some soldiers' refusal to take the Anthrax vaccine. LETTER TO NEWSWEEK Sept 26, 1996
