Regardless of what the US’s new envoy to Ukraine, Kurt Volker, thinks of himself, he arrived to Ukraine to buy a Brooklyn Bridge, whether he wanted it or not.
Among the aboriginals populating Kiev-Dnepropetrovsk-Tel-Aviv triangle, the favored scheme is a real estate fraud.
It generally goes like this: we show you a great property with a sea view, you pay us money; after taking your money, we disappear leaving you to take it up with the original rightful owner.
That’s exactly how Kurt Volker is being groomed.
On July 24, 2017 the US Special Envoy to Ukraine, Kurt Volker, visited Donbas in Eastern Ukraine to observe the “situation” in the conflict zone.
The “black real estate dealers” from Kiev masquerading as the Ukrainian government, took Mr. Volker by his unsuspected arms and brought him directly into a town that has been playing the role of a stage and a production decoration for numerous fake “documentaries” about Kiev’s “war with Russia.”
A very unusual kind of war, that has been taking place for the last three years in one town called Avdeevka or Avdiivka, depending on your state of mind and amount of alcohol consumed.
Here, in a town that we have seen in so many videos, an American diplomat observed what he later called “the front Line in Avdiivka” as reported by the TV channel UATV, (UA|TV – Inomovlennya of Ukraine), the Ukrainian state international broadcasting channel.
Ukrainian International Broadcasting Channel UATV
According to the real government of Ukraine (located in the US, see the link above): “the launch of the International Broadcasting Multimedia Platform of Ukraine (IBMPU) was held on October 1, 2015. In the framework of the International broadcasting multimedia platform of Ukraine, the “UATV” channel was introduced instead of satellite “UTR” TV channel. It is broadcast via three satellites: Amos 3, Azerspace 1, Galazy 19, as well as through the cable networks of certain countries, in particular Poland and Azerbaijan.” Add to this Denmark and Israel.
You watch this government channel, and you expect the reporting to be true, albeit slightly boring. Lucky for us, this is not the case. Instead, we are shown a brilliantly plaid real estate con.
Judge for yourself:
At 0:17, a news anchor says, “He [Kurt Volker] was also shown a residential high-rise building, damaged by the Russian hybrid forces in Ukraine.”
I wrote about this provocation staged by the Ukrainian armed forces and TSN journalists twice, in my March 13 and March 15 Sitreps. I just knew that they were going to use this building again.
Last spring, I posted several videos that depicted how the Ukrainian Armed Forces were shelling this building from their tank.
March 11, Donbass, the town Avdeevka, located on the territory occupied by the Ukrainian military.
Ukrainian armed forces organized a provocation, shooting a 9 story building at close range, while TSN (TCH) TV channel journalists were recording.
If the posted video is blocked, try this link and this video with the description: “March 13, 2017 For a vivid picture on a video report about alleged shelling of Avdiivka by DNR, the channel TSN fabricated the video story.
However, a casual eyewitnesses recorded a video showing that it was a Ukrainian tank that took direct shots at the high-rise building in the town.”
The voice in the video says: “[They] are shooting directly at the 9-story building, at the Church of Awakening. [The church of Awakening is a church located on the Cathedral street in the city of Avdeevka.]
The building was hit several times. Yes. The building is directly hit. This is nuts.”
And in my March 15, 2017 article, Give the falling CIA APUSH
Avdeevka, the situation with the 9 story building that Ukrainian military used for target practice had received its development.
A Kiev authority propaganda channel 1+1 arrived to Avdeevka to interview people there.
Those interviews turned out to be something else:
A Ukrainian journalist: “Horror returned to Avdeevka, where during the day, rebels shelled one of its high-rises. Many people were forced to abandon their apartments.”
Andriy Tsaplienko : “Avdeevka is not just a town, it’s a frontline. With these kind of wounds on its stone body, this town has learned to survive. I think that peace here is winning over the war.
March 9 was Taras Shevchenko’s birthday, but it’s hard to find any fans of Kobzar’s poetic creations here. It’s easy to find those who cannot even tolerate the word “Ukraine.”
A man in blue: “I hate you, I hate even the word ‘Ukraine.” I hate this country and I hate it’s flag. “
Andriy Tsaplienko : “Do you love Ukraine?”
A man in a black windbreaker: “Why should I love Ukraine? Should I love Ukraine for the VSU (Ukraine’s armed forces) shelling our towns and cities?”
Andriy Tsaplienko: “So, you think it’s ZSU/VSU that is shelling Avdeevka?”
A man in a black windbreaker: “Of course! Any old lady here can tell you that it’s Ukraine’s Armed forces shelling this town.”
Andriy Tsaplienko: “They repeat Russia’s propaganda word by word. This is the result of the Kiev’s information war. Their (people in Donbass) knowledge of reality is so twisted that they refuse to understand the simple fact that the terrorists are shooting from occupied town Yasinovataya”
The gist of this story is that the locals can actually see the Ukrainian armed forces artillery shooting the buildings in Avdeevka, as it was said on the video of the shelling that I posted the other day.
As you can see in all these videos, Kurt Volker was shown the same gray brick building destroyed by the Ukrainian Armed forces tank for a staged video, and abandoned by the people who lived there.
As you can also see all this is a fraud. If Kurt Volker uses this building as an excuse to give the Kiev junta millions of dollars to buy the lethal weapons, he will become their co-conspirator. He will be actively defrauding his constituencies.
Granted, that the people that Mr. Volker plans to hand money to buy weapon are under active investigation by Russia’s Investigative Committee and that some of these people were indicted by the courts in Russia for war crimes and crimes against humanity; Mr. Volker should think really hard before getting himself involved. Someone has to pay the reparations to the people in Donbass, and he might be the one who will.

In case you have forgotten what happened in Ukraine, this book should refresh your memory with the incredibly precise and humorous chronicles: ANTHOLOGY OF RUSSIAN HUMOR: FROM MAIDAN TO TRUMP
Good catch. Not entirely clear it’s the same high rise…But in the well known and well discussed Avdeevka video back in March, firing sound, flash, impact sound (in that order) are under a second apart, and so tank and the filming location are all under several hundred meters away. While the so-called “hybrid Russian forces” are over 3 km away (if not in the alternative universe altogether …) . DPR-skie said Ukraine did it on purpose a number of times in March/February too.
But so bad they are known to be, their blame may be already pre-determined. No politicus is likely to rise against the tide in their defense just for the silly reason of merit.
Great article Humour, thanks.
This guy Volker is from the john McCain institute – so you know his mindset from the beginning.
Now suppose Ukraine get more weapons. What would this mean for Donbass?
The Ukies will sell them to the Donbass boys. And then surrender and get passage to Russia.
Most of the early arming of the militia happened this way.
And most of the good equipment over the years that Ukies were given by NATO and US has been sold.
So, the pattern of corruption is well-established. Ukraine society operates this way.
If it has value, it gets stolen and sold.
The US strategy for Ukraine is “anti-corruption” project. The IMF and US and EU have all announced this. Kiev is going through the motions. It’s all kabuki theater.
And if they use the weapons, well, we all know the outcome. Civilians will die and be maimed and then Ukies will be slaughtered and the weapons destroyed or captured.
Spot on. Case in point, the Debalsyevo Cauldron of early ’15. Lots of foreign ‘advisers’ mixed in with the Ukrops troops down to Rota and often Section level and they had brought with them some interesting toys.
Part of the deal for the one day stand down so these golden pheasants could leave before the slaughter was all goodies stayed, the anointed ones were told basically ‘Your ruck, your weapon, your helmet. Everything else stays and your ruck had better have nothing in it but your field clothes and MRE’s. We’ll check.’ Lots of neat little gadgets, most new in the box, were left lying around in the AO and the Ukrainians did not have the sense to destroy them, they were by that time in a panic to leave. They got the same deal including all heavy equipment and weapons stayed in place. The first two units followed the rules and made it through to the orc lines unscathed. The following units as is normal for orcs tried to bring everything with them including armor and arty and the fight was on. Not many made it.
From the earliest days in April of ’14 various Ukr. commanders and even line troops were more than happy to sell anything and everything to Strelkov and his troops. This practice has continued and I have no doubts that if US/EU gives Ukraine ‘defensive’ weapons the vast majority of the pile will end up in Army of Novorossiya hands one way or the other.
And speaking of ‘defensive’ weapons, most such weapons and devices are dual use. Take something as simple as a sword. One could call it ‘defensive’ in that one could defend oneself with the sword against an attacker. On the other hand the sword can instantly change from being defensive to offensive in that the defender can and usually will go on the attack using the same sword.
Take for instance the ‘defensive’ label on the US artillery locator system. Nifty little device that fits n a relatively small case and sets up in minutes. This goody locates down to the centimeter the location of origin of most any ‘something’ flying through the air from 20 mm diameter on up. Defensive? How? The device is used to target counter battery fire and eliminate the source of incoming rounds and making the task of attacking that much ‘easier’.
The condition of the Ukraine Armed Forces was in general pathetic on early ’14. Few infantry troops had had any training beyond rudimentary basic training when they enlisted. Equipment was in a deplorable state and this holds true even today. In my AO, after Ukraine was invited to leave all their equipment was being repatriated to Ukraine through very early May. Tanks, BTR’s and BMP’s had to be literally be dug out of the ground and few would start, let alone move. Same with 95% of their wheeled and tracked transport.
Today the situation is not much better. What few ‘factories’ Ukr. has that can produce or overhaul heavy weapons are working to at best 50% efficiency and the quality of the overhauls and repairs on in particular tanks and armored transports of various marks is amazingly poor. I have first hand eyes on reports of newly overhauled units taken from storage or repaired from service in the war breaking down as they are being loaded on the rail transport. I have the same reports concerning AFV’s and trucks that are delivered to the east front with radios, sighting equipment and devices, even batteries that either don’t work are so old as to be worn out. All with fresh paint of course.
Their ‘fleet’ was pitiful, some ships had not had even a skeleton crew on them in years. Sure, they got a lick of paint every few years where it could be seen but I’ve been in some of the 20 or so ships still in our harbor and inside there is nothing left that is salvageable, everything is rust and crumbling wiring and insulation. This did not happen overnight. That repatriation stopped instantly when the orcs started to bombard Slavyansk and Kramtorsk in early May of ’14.
Bottom line, Larchmonter, you are indeed correct, anything and everything that US may send to Ukraine will either end up sold to anyone who will pay or end up in NAF one way or the other. This thought by Volker is simply a dream from the mind of McCain for the last 3 years and PTB in Kiev are rubbing their hands in glee, looking forward to a new palace in Geneva or a bigger and more palatial flat in London.

Thank you Larch445 and Auslander for stating the facts on the ground. The Ukronazis would sell their own grandmother……
When it comes to Ukro-Nazis selling their own grandmothers, it is worth remembering the old saying – ‘sell early, sell often’.
The target audience of these propaganda stunts is regular people, not volker, he was there to add an official aire to the fraud.
The choice of volker shows that israel’s tuppence regime quislings will be continuing to use the ukraine to attack Russia, probably even to a large degree than israel’s obambam regime did.
In a way this lie and propaganda made by the Ukrops serves a useful purpose – the schism between the media and the population grows wider and no one believes the lies of the media anymore – they are discrediting themselves and their lies.
I would like to see a news organization like this indicted for war crimes, for encouraging and enabling violence against a civilian population. Journalists are extreme cowards, and they need to have some skin in the game, to suffer some legal consequences for their contribution toward the slaughter of innocents because of their propaganda.
The vast majority of the media in the “Free World”–especially the America media–needs to be indicted and punished for the propaganda they have spewed to rationalize the wars of aggression the Americans and their criminal allies have committed including, but not limited to, the lies about Iraqi WMDs to justify the USA’s aggression against that nation; the disinformation about Libyan humanitarian “atrocities” to justify the USA-led attack on Libya in 2011; and of course the bogus War on Terrorism in general and false flag terror attacks like September 11th.
For all the blather about Fake News that one hears these days, there is a much greater outrage that no one dares questions: the Fake Free Press led by the United States of America and its media.
Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels is a rank amateur compared to the sophisticated deception practiced today by this self-styled Free Press.
Agreed.
Mentally, most Westerners are simply forever high on vile, corporate mindrot, and why shouldn’t they? When they turn on the TV and look at the world, they are deluded into thinking they are the ruling class. Living in the planet’s most powerful countries, they can feed themselves to obesity, and the rest of the world makes products for them to buy cheaply while enjoying their parasitic ‘post-industrial society’.
“Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels is a rank amateur compared to the sophisticated deception practiced today by this self-styled Free Press.”
Goebbels was actually a silly amateur even during his lifetime. Anglo-American imperialism gloating in its own crimes in films, books, and newspapers distributed globally was a very real phenomenon by the time fascism reared its ugly head in Italy, Germany, and Eastern Europe. On second thought, the German Nazis — exactly like today’s US neocons plus the Eurocrats — had a quite cool contempt of their own people, so the bombastic imbecilities maybe should be seen more as a back-handed compliment.
Bottom line: The Ukros take every understatement to the point of silly caricature. Fabulous garbage indeed.
VT, correct.
Ukraine is lynch pin for shutting down Russian gas exports.
Poland is key for switch to US LNG.
Ukies key to keep Russia buried in sanctions.
Trump has decided that he can use Ukraine for his hegemonic “energy” game to replace pipeline gas with LNG from US. It is central to all his moves. And his moves now fit in with the Khazarian-Russophobe-warmonger moves.
The attack is on gas, oil price, and the ruble. Pure hegemonic warfare. Ukies will play a continuing role as “proxy”.
It creates a standoff between Putin’s “frozen conflict” strategy and the Hegemon’s “sanctions regime” strategy.
Who can take the pain the longest?
Trapped in the middle is Ukraine which requires life support.
Donbass is due for years more of what has been their fate since Debaltcevo.
From here, mid 2017, it looks very static. But the tensions are too strong to hold for more than another year. Post-FIFA World Cup, we will have change.
September 23 is 1260 days (Rev:12) from the date armed forces of the ukraine began the killing in Novorussia…the sign of Libra will be clothed with the sun…the moon at her feet…12 ‘stars’ crowning her…ect…and Bootes and Serpens chime in with their star clusters to fulfill the next few line too…the great tribulation begins in just a few months time…it seems.
Don’t blame me…Putin knows we tread the foot hills of Armageddon…he is well read…he knows where Armageddon takes place…his troops now only a few kms distant from the epicentre…
Ukraine is the perfect stick that the West will always be able to bash Russia with.
Some, like myself, always argued that Putin should have sent Russian forces into East Ukraine, and ensured a peaceful partition into East and West- lancing the boil for all times. Others said, no- this is what the West wants- and sanctions on Russia will be over in a few years. Where are we today? New sancions against Russia that are so awful, Putin has issued a statement saying he just doesn’t know where Russia goes from here please give a link to this quote by VVP. Mod – but Russia has no choice but to respond in some terrible fashion (which will lead to even more demonisation of Russia).
America (under Obama and Clinton) expels a massive number of Russian diplomats and seizes Russian diplomatic compounds. Putin (under the same advisors who told him to leave Ukraine alone) does nothing- and as a reward today has extraordinary unbearable new sanctions imposed against him- sanctions that most of the EU are ‘honour’ bound to go along with.
Russia, under Putin, is a member of the European Court of ‘Justice’- a Tony Blair subverted body that now always rules against Russia. If Putin withdraws from these European bodies, Russia will be called a ‘rogue’ state. Those that laughably claim Russia can ‘go it alone’ have zero idea how the modern world works. You either have the right, as a free nation, to trade with who you like- else you become a third world hellhole for your people. There’s far more to life in Russia than successfully building nukes of various types.
Great Empire powers should not be able to sanction one another- by definition. By telling Putin that the West’s sanctions were ‘pinpricks’, Russia has fallen into the trap of allowing another to tell it what it may or may not do.
The sheeple of the West must be made to be terrified of Russia- so they’ll stop supporting Russian-bashing leaders. The sheeple of the West must be made to want Russia as a friend, ally and trading partner. When they see Russia treated like a beaten dog, who after the latest beating still goes up to its ‘master’ and licks his hand- respect for Russia goes down the drain.
Did America ask anyone’s permission for invading Syria? Does America fear sanctions over this horrific warcrime? Putin even praises the US ‘efforts’ in Syria. This is madness- utter madness. The same people who tell us Putin must never enter Ukraine claim that America lives in a different dimension when America enters Syria.
***Equals*** must exist under the ***same*** rules. Russia is not a dog and America is not its master. Russia’s ‘behind the scenes’ success in Ukraine- when it oversaw the absolute destruction of the neo-nazi armed units that threatened the East- was a masterful military act. But it had no positive impact on sheeple perception. ‘Light under a bushel’ comes to mind.
per-WW3, America will never strike Russia directly- for America has everything to lose. But Russia can- in a limited way and in the name of justice- strike American forces directly. America will never escalate a confrontation with Russia (until its time for WW3). Indeed America lives in mortal fear that Russia will realise this in time- and use its military power to destroy America forces directly involved in crimes against Humanity- destroying the reputation of the neo-cons, neo-liberals and zionist mainstream media outlets amongst the ordinary American people.
America’s ‘reputation’ is a balloon in mortal fear of the first sane person willing to use a pin.
Today the sheeple of the West see Russia as a dog getting another good whipping from those ‘protectors of democracy’, the US houses of congress. And people like to support ‘winners’, not the person on the floor taking another beating.
When Putin liberated Aleppo, all the zionist press agencies had headlines stating that Aleppo had fallen to the murderous forces of Putin and Assad. The celebration Putin planned ended when British MI6 personnel arranged the murder of a planeful of Russian military musicians (Putin publicly pretends the disaster was an ‘accident’ just like he claimed the Egyptian plane bomb was an ‘accident’ for as long as possible). The utter evil of the West will never be mitigated by ‘turning the other cheek’. The utter evil of the West will not be mitigated by the ownership of better nukes you can never use.
One thing only Putin has in his favour- a US president who can be made to easily back down. Trump is no Clinton. But Trump will pat Putin on the back in public- then later happily work with anti-Russian forces (especially his personal Israeli advisors) to knife Putin in the back as hard as possible. This means Putin must be pro-active with Trump – a man who says the hardest things possible to Trump and follows up his words immediately. Trump must fear and respect Putin every moment of the day- not just when he is talking with Putin.
Those of you who fall for the lies stating that the EU won’t back new US sanctions should look to the Crimea Turbine scandal for the truth. A Russian company in Russia makes turbines and ships them to Crimea. But this is ‘illegal’ apparently because the company is a joint German/Russia enterprise. Merkel is raining hell on Putin over this issue.
Meanwhile Germany ships, for free, German built/designed submarines designed to carry Israelis illegal nukes to Israel- and Putin says ***nothing***.
From all the articles I have read today Pres Putin seems to have said something very different:
http://tass.com/politics/958037
“According to him, “this practice is unacceptable; it destroys international relations and international law………The decision regarding Russia’s response measures to new US sanctions will be made only after a final version of the relevant US bill appears”, Putin said…..”Attempts to provoke us are constantly made over a long period of time,” the Russian president said. “Sanctions introduced against Russia “are also absolute unlawful from the standpoint of internationall law and violate principles of international trade and rules of the World Trade Organization,” Putin said…..”As you know, we are behaving very composedly and patiently but we will have to respond at a certain point. It is impossible to constantly tolerate loutish behavior towards our country,” he said……”
http://theduran.com/putin-on-sanctions-it-is-impossible-to-tolerate-arrogance-toward-our-country-forever/
Doesn’t seem to match your assumptions.
Also the ECJ does not superceed the Russian courts…..
What do you wish? WW3? A hot war that will destroy most countries and people on this planet? or a country – Russia – trying to deal with a flailing empire (which is destroying itself) without a hot war?

Seeing Kristina & Kira 3 years ago is what got me involved in the Donbass, and I back the people there 100%.
Someone said that they expect this Ukranian mess to be dealt with post 2018 Word Cup.
Good call.
Remember that the Ukranian disaster started right before Sochi olimpics.
The next Ukranian disaster will most likely start sometimes prior to summer of 2018, but really close to that time. It will be a way of taking from Russia the WC competition, and moving it to a state that has “ready” infrastructure just waiting for a WC to be suspended from Russia due to a “state of war.”
It has to start right before the summer so to not give Russia a chance nor time to deal with the Nazi’s before the WC people start coming in.
The weapons for this disaster will be coming in soon.

Saakashvili Vows Not to Take Up Citizenship of Any Country But Ukraine
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201707291056000370-saakashvili-citizenship-ukraine/
“Ex-Georgian president and the former governor of Ukraine’s Odessa region Mikheil Saakashvili said on Saturday, he considers himself a Ukrainian citizen and does not plan to seek asylum or take up citizenship of any other country.”
The cowardly willie suck could always apply to South Ossetia for asylum, I’m sure they would welcome him with open arms as the scaffold was erected. On the other hand, he could petition the tuppence regime’s new govenor of the ukraine, kurtsie volker, to take him on as a personal servant, on bended knee, of course.
Maybe if the Anglo-Zionists succeed in overthrowing Venezuela’s government then he can get citizenship there and become a “Venezuelan patriot”! At least the weather would be nicer, and lots of attractive women to pay for “massages” like when he was in charge of Georgia.
