    HOW RUSSIANS GOT YANUKOVYCH OUT OF UKRAINE

    (I thought he was on the presidential plane I was tracking to Dubai. But apparently the plane was loaded with money, gold, and valuables – as a distraction. He had a private helicopter pad in the city center. )

    “Yanukovych used Russia’s aircraft to flee from Ukraine”

    (today)

    The man tells court Yanukovych and his guards landed at a military airfield in Crimea on the morning of February 23.

    Ex-President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych, who is being accused of committing treason, used Russian aircraft to move across Ukraine and then flee from country.

    The judicial panel of Kyiv’s Obolon district court, which is considering the Yanukovych case, has completed the interrogation of Dmytro Ivantsov, a witness of defense, who is a former guard of the former president and who accompanied Yanukovych and fled with the latter to Russia, according to an UNIAN correspondent.

    It should be noted that the testimony of the witness generally coincided with that given by his colleagues who had already testified in the Yanukovych case.

    In particular, Ivantsov said that late on February 22, 2014, when Yanukovych and his guards were riding from Donetsk to Melitopol, they transferred to three military helicopters in the vicinity of Melitopol. After flying about 20 minutes, they landed at a military airfield, where they got aboard an AN-26 plane and flew to Crimea. Presiding judge Vladyslav Devyatko asked Ivantsov to specify the helicopters and the airfield. The latter confirmed that the helicopters were Russian. However, he did not specify the airfield.

    In addition, Ivantsov said that on the morning of February 23, Yanukovych and his guards landed at a military airfield in Crimea and went to a resort facility near Yalta.

    According to the witness, when they found out that Valentyn Nalyvaichenko (Chief of the SBU Security Service of Ukraine from February 24, 2014 to June 18, 2015), Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov, and, allegedly, some armed men were looking for Yanukovych in Crimea, they moved to another facility under the guard of the Marine Corps of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.

    The witness also said that after the ex-president along with his guards had moved to the Kosacha (Cossack) bay in Sevastopol, Yanukovych proposed to the Department officers that they continue guarding him. Some of them agreed and fled to Russia with Yanukovych.

    ——TIMELINE—-

    On 21 February, President Yanukovych signed a compromise deal with opposition leaders. It promised constitutional changes to restore certain powers to Parliament and called for early elections to be held by December.

    Despite the agreement, thousands continued to protest in central Kiev, and the demonstrators took full control of the city’s government district: the parliament building, the president’s administration quarters, the cabinet, and the Interior Ministry. On 21 February, an impeachment bill was introduced in Parliament. On the same day, Yanukovych left for Kharkiv to attend a summit of southeastern regions, according to media reports.

    On 22 February, the protesters were reported to be in control of Kiev, and Yanukovych was said to have fled the capital for eastern Ukraine. The parliament, or Verkhovna Rada, voted 328–0 in favour of impeaching Yanukovych and scheduled new presidential elections for 25 May.

    Parliament named its speaker, Oleksandr Turchynov, as interim president on 23 February. A warrant for the arrest of Yanukovych was issued by the new government on 24 February. Over the next few days, Russian nationalist politicians and activists organised rallies in Crimea and urged Russia to help defend the region from advancing “fascists” from the rest of Ukraine.

    On 28 February, Yanukovych attended a press conference in southern Russia and answered questions from mostly Russian reporters. He said that the early presidential elections scheduled for late May were illegal and that he “would not be participating in them”. He also said that while the 21 February agreement could have calmed the situation, the opposition had not agreed to it.

    On 1 March, Russia’s parliament approved a request from President Vladimir Putin to deploy Russian troops to Ukraine.

    um. We all wish libertarianism was possible, just like we all wish dating victoria’s secret models was possible. Neither is possible because of the asymmetry of interests.. So it’s back to having to do the hard work of constructing rule of law, by the organised use of violence, and obtaining liberty as a consequence. We won’t get scarce tens voluntarily and liberty is a ten.

    Um. We don’t live under capitalism whatsoever. We live under financialism, social democracy (the redistributive state), and rule by the mob instead of rule of law.

    LET ME HELP YOU.

    Trump knows how to play brinkmanship, and he is fully aware that everyone at the table understands that the bloodiest civil war in human history is hanging over Washington’s head. He cannot lose. The only way to win is to leave him alone and ignore him. Everything else just makes him more powerful, further reinforces the base, advances his longer term objectives of withdrawing the states from paying the costs of policing the worlds institutions of finance, transport, and trade.

    People who work in bureaucracies, particularly in the civilized west, who have little knowledge of military and political history, who have never had the responsibility of building businesses at scale, particularly with little personal money, and particularly in a trade as corrupt as construction and the demands of construction in relation to state bureaucracies, unions, and foreign corruption are profoundly naive.

    The most powerful method of management in an environment of mistrust is chaos, by which one applies long term pressure to achieve strategic ends.

    It’s not complicated. It’s trivially simple. You just need financial and political independence, and minority of men willing to kill for you.

    And that is because I do the same thing…..

  • Revolution: Scribe the dike and let the sheer weight of the water do the work

    As I’ve said before, the ratio of police to citizens is very low, and the number of casualties they will absorb before they stay in the barracks or stay home is under ten percent. They are not 19 year old single male soldiers, with combined arms, but 105 IQ working class high dominance men with families, getting overpaid with good pensions – they are mercenaries and mercenaries always fold. In a PLANNED revolution, everything depends on the demands. Make moral demands that solve the problems of political, social, and economic conflict, and those who choose sides will act rationally by those incentives not out of fear and uncertainty. In chaos people will hold order as long as they hold confidence. All humans are predictable. The proletarian anarchists will tie down the national guard and the police. If the working and middle classes are told to store food and water and medicine for three months, they have the money and credit to do so. The underclass anarchists do not. If the disruption is sufficient for the regular military to be called, the financial markets and foreign powers will do the rest. Never fight a battle directly. Scribe the dike and let the sheer weight of the water do the work. With the right direction and incentives the military will achieve in government what is in their and the people’s interests.
