In a momentous move, 243 seats out of 450 have voted out Yulia Tymoshenko in a no confidence bid.  This more or less ensures the fact that she will step down, allowing Viktor Yanukovich to form his own coalition, electing a more favorable Prime Minister. Prior to the vote, Yulia was quoted as saying, "If the dismissal of the government is passed today, at that very same moment our government will leave the cabinet. Our political force will cross into the opposition." [source] ... Full Story

The fact that Russians and Ukrainians are spying on one another shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone.  Spies have been used for thousands of years, and will be used for thousands more.  Even major corporations use spies in their competitors corporations to get an edge on the competition. However, this latest spy trouble between Russia and Ukraine is turning into a joke.  Not so much the spying, but the information regarding the spying.  While it is hard to find... Full Story

While most Americans are completely unaware of the fact that Ukraine is not only facing its worst financial crisis since its official inception, but Sunday's election is being sold to its citizens as their only chance at fixing this crisis.  Likewise, Americans are most likely oblivious to the fact that the current government is a puppet government installed by the USA.  Unfortunately for the USA, and much more so for Ukraine, the puppet in charge was so inept that America could do...

I have written about the concept that "Russia plays Chess and America plays Checkers!" This is nothing new to you if you have followed my blog for years. I found an article that plays that same theme. The problem with the article is that it is a Western scare tactic article. When you read it it is heavily swayed to a bias against Russia. It does touch upon truths about both sides and their techniques of playing the game. It relies heavily upon the evil Russian and bringing back the "cold war... Full Story

Anyone who’s been keeping abreast of the ongoing march to inflict ObamaCare upon the people of America has, by now, heard of Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE). Sen. Nelson was the man that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid bribed in order to get the needed 60th vote to pass the Liberals’ Health Insurance Reconstruction bill. What one might not realize is that Nebraskans are enraged at Sen. Nelson’s corruption, despite the fact that the Senator secured for Nebraska a perpetual exemption... Full Story

As Shimon Peres drags Israel into the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the staggering costs for the country were clarified. Visiting secretary-general of the OECD brought us three demands. Israel must fight corruption in her defense industry – in other words, to stop paying bribes to third world’s officials in charge of military procurement. That would leave Israel with no export markets as bribes are part of the business there. Israel must strengthen... Full Story

While it is no secret that Ukraine is an overly corrupt nation that excels in bribery, the recent attempt to bribe, or some may say blackmail, US officials in order to secure further IMF funding is audacious to ridiculous extremes. In December Ukrainian officials descended on Washington with one overriding mission –to convince the Obama administration that without the financial help of the IMF, Ukraine might be unable to supply the EU with Russian gas this winter. This badly disguised... Full Story

Few countries of the world are suffering quite as severely during this Financial Crisis as Ukraine.  Gripped with corruption of the most extreme level, Ukraine's people are without work, without money and most importantly without food.  Of course, the elite don't have this problem, but the middle and lower classes are scraping to get by while the administration sip champagne while enjoying black caviar in the back of their Maybach's. It is no wonder that once again Ukraine is having... Full Story

As Blackwater's (now Xe) reputation deteriorates, US Government contracts aren't slowing in pace.  It turns out that after the September 2007 incident in which Blackwater mercenaries slaughtered 17 Iraqi civilians, Blackwater executives quickly turned to bribery in order to quell the calls to oust Blackwater from Iraq.   Top executives at Blackwater Worldwide authorized secret payments of about $1 million to Iraqi officials that were intended to silence their criticism and buy...
