Crimea: Democracy Is Not Democracy…Unless Obama Says It Is… Source: Flickr March 12, 2014 (Eric Draitser – New Eastern Outlook ) – As Crimea prepares to vote on Saturday March 16 th  in a crucial referendum on its future, the rhetoric coming from the West and its propaganda machine has hit a new and ridiculous low. Not only has US President Barack Obama and his administration done everything to undermine democracy in Ukraine, they have now resorted to the most naked forms of hypocrisy in an attempt to delegitimize the democratic process. On Thursday March 6 th  President Obama spoke at the White House on the referendum and the issue of Crimea.

Links US-Turkish Relations: In Search of a Comfortable Footstool March 11, 2014 (Tony Cartalucci – New Eastern Outlook ) – It began in Istanbul’s Gezi Park where we are excepted to believe protests over 2.5 million strong (.pdf ) stemmed from opposition to a development project. AFP would report in its article, “ Turkish protesters have long list of complaints ,†that: What started as a small group opposed to a development project in Istanbul has become an outpouring of national anger over how the Islamist-rooted government treats its citizens, testing Ankara’s quest to be a model country in its neighborhood. Turks are increasingly frustrated about what they see as restrictions on their freedom after a series of last-minute reforms were rushed through parliament by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which enjoys an overwhelming majority. “This is a movement which is a result of growing frustration and disappointment among secular segments of society who could not influence politics over the last decade,†said Sinan Ulgen, visiting scholar at Carnegie Europe. “This is an unprecedented, abrupt and unplanned public movement that has not been manipulated by any political party.
Links BBC Now Admits: Armed Nazis Led “Revolution†in Kiev, Ukraine March 7, 2014 ( Tony Cartlucci – New Eastern Outlook ) – Like the West’s support of sectarian terrorists across the Middle East, including Al Qaeda, it has found the most despicable elements in Ukrainian society to lead “revolution†for the sociopolitical reordering of Eastern Europe. As the dust settles and the West’s proxy regime finds itself safely entrenched in Kiev, Ukraine – the Western media can now finally recuperate some of its lost legitimacy after months of denying the obvious – that armed Neo-Nazis led the so-called “Euromaidan†uprising. A BBC Newsnight short titled, “ Neo-Nazi threat in new Ukraine ,†reveals xenophobic Jew-hating nationalists, armed and leading the mobs in Kiev, directly contradicting months of Western media narratives portraying the rabble as aspiring for “freedom,â€â€œdemocracy,†and “closer ties with the West,†with the most absurd example being  the “ I am Ukrainian †propaganda reel. Far from a “pro-democracy†uprising, the “Euromaidan†was yet another case of Western engineered regime change leveraging the good intentions of the ill-informed to mask the covert backing of ugly armed extremists, just as it had done all across the similarly engineered “ Arab Spring†in 2011
Links US hypocrisy over ‘Russian aggression’ in Ukraine March 5, 2014 ( Nile Bowie for RT ) - As divisions deepen between the eastern and western regions of Ukraine, the backers of the putsch regime in Kiev portray Russia as a reckless aggressor to absolve their own responsibility for engineering the crisis.

In August of 2013, businessman and outspoken Thaksin opponent  Ekkayuth Anchanbutr  was abducted and murdered . This does not include more recent events, which also includes attempted and successful assassinations  targeting Thaksin Shinawatra’s enemies, and a campaign of increasing terrorism  being employed against growing dissent in the streets railing against his regime symbolically led by his own sister, Yingluck Shinawatra. It is easy to see why the West, despite the unraveling of the regime in recent months, is still stalwartly defending it, particularly in the editorials and columns of their newspapers – the West has invested a decade propping it up and is unlikely to find another political machine as effective and as willing to divide, destroy, and attempt to wholesale handover the resources and sovereignty of Thailand to foreign interests. It is this that brings us articles like the New York Times’ recent piece titled, " Protesters Say They’ll End Blockades in Bangkok ," by the biased and wholly inaccurate Thomas Fuller. He claimed in the article that: In what appeared to be a major retreat by the movement to overthrow the Thai government, protesters on Friday said they were abandoning their campaign to shut down Bangkok and would dismantle their blockades of major intersections set up in January
