"No."

"Do you have anything to do with ultra coalminers?"

"No."

This is the new EU standard of freedom of speech in Ukraine. Freedom of speech and press are guaranteed by two men who are becoming familiar faces, Svoboda MP Igor Miroshnynchenko and party ideologist Andrey Ilyenko.

The only freedom of speech MP Igor is intent on guaranteeing is that you agree with the Ultra Nationalist line. The crime committed by the government-owned TV station was showing Vladimir Putin's speech about Crimea in its entirety. Today MP Igor is as unrepentant as the day he beat up, broke the collar bone of, and threatened Aleksandr Panteleymonov. Aleksandr was accused of being a Moskal. The Ministry of Justice is headed by Svoboda. Four days later, no charges have been filed.

Political Freedoms

At the local level representative governments are forced to resign, or its members are beaten. At the 10-minute mark in this video watch how Pravy Sektor treats local small town politicians that disagree .

On March 14, 2014 in Kiev, which is the bastion of Ukrainian peace and democracy, police were called because someone broke into the Kiev Administration Building. The police who responded were met with Maidan clubs to the head.

Rabid Anti-Semitism
In an interview with the Russia 24 News Channel, Avigdor Eskin reported the Knesset in Israel is now very concerned about the rise of xenophobic Ultra Nationalism in Ukraine. The Knesset held a special session to discuss this issue with Ukrainian human rights groups and Jewish organizations. Some of the MPs and Israeli Foreign Minister Lieberman are sure the Ukrainian government is Anti-Semitic. Among their conclusions is that very wealthy Jews in Ukraine are white-washing the situation to the world.

The wealthiest among these are the oligarchs, and now governors, who poured money into Maidan. The Knesset is bringing its concerns to the proper commissions in the EU.

The Ultra Nationalist government in Ukraine has passed more Anti-Semitic laws in its first month than Adolf Hitler did in any given year the 3rd Reich was in power!

The Hollow Country Propaganda

Max Blumenthal and Rania Khalek have exposed how prevalent and virulent the propaganda machine supporting President Obama actually is. Add to this the pretty face, and you'll want to like it on Facebook if you are an American.

"Behind the coverage of Wahl's dramatic protest, a cadre of neoconservatives was celebrating a public relations coup. Desperate to revive the Cold War, head off further cuts to the defense budget and restore the legitimacy they lost in the ruins of Iraq, the tight-knit group of neoconservative writers and stewards had opened up a new PR front through Wahl's resignation. And they succeeded...."

This attempt at propaganda patriotism and self-glorification by Wahl and her neoconservative handlers isn't the exception; it is the rule of journalism coverage in the US about Ukraine and Maidan.
