MEDIOCRITY

Some of the most brilliant people I've ever known, have a formal education that can be described as minimal, at best. People who disregard societal conventions when they get in their way, and have some of the most creative minds imaginable. At the same time, some of the most stilted, petty, one dimensional and mediocre people I've ever met, have their degrees in some stupid shit like social work, and have always been afraid to colour outside of the lines, or to get one hour's worth of detention. These are people who have had to learn their critical thinking from a fucking textbook. They talk about "oppression", but when it comes to people actually picking up arms to physically end their very real oppression, there is no support. In fact, revolution might be deemed "inappropriate". They wouldn't and couldn't understand the difference between what's legal, and what's right. Where would they have been in 1940's germany, 60s, 70s, and 80s south africa, or north amerikkka today? Following the fucking rules.
   This petty mindset drives me fucking crazy, and there are days when it seems to be all around me, at least in the workplace. These morons' highest aspiration is to become some sadass little government drone, either shuffling papers, or shuffling kids from one foster home to another.
  Yes, this is basically me venting, but it makes me glad to be the person I am, and to know the people I do. Good day.

IDIOT HYPOCRITES

Are all of these "world leaders" and "statesmen" so fucking blind and deaf that they don't know what the fuck they're saying? All of the bullshit regarding Russian and the Ukraine, and the crisis in Nigeria is bordering on the fucking ridiculous. These "leaders of the free world" have killed, and are killing, way more people than these others ever could. Obama and prince idiot charles can shut the fuck up.

As last week’s revcom.us/Revolutionarticle on "Boko Haram’s Crimes Are Obscene, But Global Oppressors Are Not the Answer" put it, "The global outrage at this kidnapping is being mis-channeled into lining up people behind even worse crimes." Some people have not let their outrage at U.S. crimes get mis-channeled by the crocodile tears of one of the main spokeswomen for U.S. imperialism.

YAWN

Well, AK-47 are back from their big city Vancouver adventure, and it was....a snoozefest. Don't get me wrong. It was awesome to play with Car 87 and Legion Of Goons, great to see old friends, but the crowd was less than enthusiastic, and tiny. It was nobody's fault. There were three other show on the same night, and that's just the way she goes, eh. But based on this experience, it'll be a long time before Vancouver gets to see our sorry old asses again. Smell ya later ,Vancouver.

COUNTDOWN


We are playing Vancouver on Saturday for the first time in over 100 years. I look forward to seeing Bubba, Car87, Legion Of Goons, and all of the old haggard faces we've known from years gone by. It will be a grand time.

THEY'VE ALL GOT TO GO

I mentioned in an earlier post what I think of michelle obama's hypocritical "outrage" over the kidnapping of those schoolgirls in Nigeria. This short statement says it best, and I agree with it fully. Fuck 'em all.

Boko Haram, Campus Rape, AND REVOLUTION

May 12, 2014 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

In large swaths of the world, imperialism's relentless grinding up of lives and crushing of spirits has given rise to reactionary Islamic fundamentalism with the most overt oppression and degradation of women at its core.
Download the PDF of this pamphlet: A Declaration: For Women's Liberation and the Emancipation of All Humanity
On the "other side" of the world, a culture of pornification, an ethos of male right, and laws have created a situation where one in five women will be raped or sexually assaulted while in college.
Here's why: EVERY SYSTEM OF EXPLOITATION AND OPPRESSION—including capitalism-imperialism in all its variations, mutations, and byproducts—has the oppression of women woven so deeply into its fabric that to tear it out requires tearing up the whole cloth.
COMMUNIST REVOLUTION can, must, and will END WOMEN'S OPPRESSION because it is about ENDING ALL EXPLOITATION AND OPPRESSION. There is the leadership, strategy and program for that revolution—you'll find it at revcom.us. What is needed is YOU.

BETTER TO DIE....

I'm not much for nostalgia, but today I was listening to a fucking amazing '80s skate band, Code Of Honor. They had the perfect combination of punk rock snottiness, with the hopeless nihilistic politics of the 1980s, even decrying sexism in one of their songs, which was not that usual with skaterock bands of the era, (or this era for that matter). It was on a comp CD that Bubba (of Write Off fame) made for me ages ago, and I will always appreciate all of the music he's given me, and there has been plenty. I will be seeing him soon, when we play Vancouver on the 24th, and I am very much looking forward to it. Look up Write Off, and look up Code Of Honor. You will not be let down by either of them, unless of course you're an idiot.

NOTHING BETTER TO DO

The rcmpigs are going to start cracking down on people going to Vancouver's Wreck Beach, which is a nudes-allowed area. Are you going to tell me that they fucking have nothing better to do? When their own officers have been busted making and distributing child porn, drug use and the gang related crime associated with it is rampant, not to mention the usual shit that is "normal" in this society, (ie-rape, abduction, drunk driving, and so much more). Of course, this goes along with their usual jaywalking sweeps,and other things that make everyone feel so much safer. I just can't believe how stupid shit gets sometimes.

RCMP setting up police tent on popular Vancouver nude beach to crack down on overdoses and public sex acts

Located adjacent to the University of British Columbia campus on an isolated sliver of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Wreck Beach has been Vancouver’s go-to nude beach since at least the 1970s.
Lyle Stafford for the National PostLocated adjacent to the University of British Columbia campus on an isolated sliver of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Wreck Beach has been Vancouver’s go-to nude beach since at least the 1970s.
Canada’s most famous nude beach is getting its own police detachment of sorts — a pair of RCMP officers posted in a tent.
Nudity, open containers, acoustic guitars and even drug use are still legal on Wreck Beach, but Mounties say they will crack down on overdoses and open-air sexual activity.
“There’s about 465 stairs to that beach, and that’s really the only point of access unless you come in from the water,” said Sgt. Drew Grainger with the RCMP’s University of British Columbia detachment.
Last summer, he said, the police needed to call in a coast guard hovercraft as often as three times a week to haul away exhibitionists or belligerent drunks.
It’s not going to be the arms crossed, sunglasses on
“It’s an enormous burden on us and other emergency services to deal with that,” he said, adding that placing a seven-day-a-week RCMP tent on the beach would simply be to let people know what is “acceptable.”
“It’s not going to be the arms crossed, sunglasses on, overlooking the crowd,” he said.
Nevertheless, while Wreck Beach veterans do not object to the occasional RCMP patrol, they insist that the constant presence of uniformed Mounties will detract from the location’s free-and-easy vibe.
“A continued presence gives a non-verbal message that our beach is unsafe, and our beach is more safe than any other beach in this whole Lower Mainland,” said Judy Williams, longtime chair of the Wreck Beach Preservation Society.
Lyle Stafford for the National Post
Lyle Stafford for the National PostNudity, open containers, acoustic guitars and even drug use are still legal on Wreck Beach, but Mounties say they will crack down on overdoses and open-air sexual activity.
Ms. Williams suspects the increased police focus can be blamed on the high-profile case of Alana Thomson, an “obnoxious” 31-year-old who was issued with criminal charges last year after RCMP officers caught her selling alcoholic freezies along Wreck Beach.
While other vendors hawk their Wreck Beach wares with a wink and a nod, Ms. Williams said Ms. Thomson regularly ruptured the silence of the retreat by screaming out her products like a carnival barker.
The unsubtle approach made Ms. Thomson easy to catch, and the wildly variable alcohol percentages of her homemade freezies soon had RCMP worried about beachgoers being sickened by similar homemade concoctions.
Said Sgt. Grainger soon after Ms. Thomson’s arrest, “We don’t know what’s in that liquor.”
Located adjacent to the University of British Columbia campus on an isolated sliver of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, Wreck Beach has been Vancouver’s go-to nude beach since at least the 1970s.
It is the beach’s reputation for drug use, however, that has led to clashes with the Mounties.
In the 1980s and early 1990s, RCMP would mount regular raids on the beach to seize even small amounts of beer or marijuana. Reportedly, undercover officers would even go nude to mount stings against Wreck Beach drug vendors.
“We won’t tolerate either drugs or booze on the beaches,” Sgt. Brian Muir told The Province after a 27-officer Wreck Beach raid in 1989.

These days, Ms. Williams says her group has a “good relationship” with the police. A list of “etiquette” suggestions published by the Society even encourages beach users to call the RCMP to report dogs and “overt sexual activity.”
When Ms. Williams was told of the new plan for a semi-permanent RCMP tent at the beach, she even received Sgt. Grainger’s personal assurance that any prudish RCMP officers who “turned their noses up at” nudists would be immediately removed from Wreck Beach duty.
While the Wreck Beach Preservation Society remains opposed to a semi-permanent RCMP presence at the beach, Ms. Williams said she hoped it would at least help their years-long battle against the scourge of music-blaring party boats and speeding jet skis buzzing their quiet enclave.
“If they can do anything to start reducing the threat to public safety from these jet skis being recklessly operated, we would welcome that,” she said.

THIS FUCKING IDIOT

Why was this fucking idiot only fired, and not charged with murder like he should have been...pigs will be pigs. Stupid fucker. 
(CNN) -- A police officer who fatally shot a 93-year-old woman at her home in Texas is defending his use of deadly force and lashing out at the City Council that fired him.
Stephen Stem was dismissed from the Hearne Police Department on Saturday. He argues his termination was unjust.
"The knee-jerk reaction to terminate Mr. Stem was not about whether Ms. Golden chose to create and perpetuate a life-threatening situation. That is a clear and indisputable fact.
"Rather, the city's decision was about appeasing certain members of the community who want to make this case about Ms. Golden's age, the fact she is African-American, or the fact she is a woman.
"None of those factors played a role in Stem's decision to use deadly force," Robert McCabe, Stem's attorney, said in a statement Sunday.
His comments come as Texas Rangers continue an investigation into why Pearlie Golden, a longtime resident in this small town of about 4,600 people between Dallas and Houston, was shot multiple times at her home Tuesday.
A man believed to be a relative of Golden's made a 911 call asking for help from police, Robertson County District Attorney Coty Siegert said.
"What I understand is (Hearne police) were called out because a woman was brandishing a firearm," Siegert said.
"An officer asked her to put the handgun down, and when she would not, shots were fired."
Hearne City Attorney Bryan Russ Jr. said Stem told Golden to drop her weapon at least three times.
Stem fired three times, and Golden was hit at least twice, he said.
She was transported to a hospital, where she died.
"Police not only have a duty to protect themselves from imminent harm, but also innocent citizens who rely on them 'to protect and serve,' " Stem's attorney said in his statement.
The case eventually will be presented to a grand jury, which is standard procedure when dealing with officer-involved incidents, according to Russ, the city attorney.
"I would expect people to be upset about this, a young police officer shooting a 93-year-old lady," Russ said. "I'm upset about it. Most of our citizens are upset, but at the same time, I don't believe all the facts have come to the surface yet."

MORE HYPOCRISY

"first lady"michelle obama, wife of president obama, has condemned the abduction of over two hundred school girls in Nigeria by islamic fundamentalists, boko haram. Now, this would be easy to understand on the surface, if you were prone to unthinkingly accept everything that any fucked in the head politician says as sincere. But I do not. When the u.s. government were supporting the taliban with arms and money, knowing full well what their views on women was, do you think she would have supported their victory over the then soviet union? I would have to say yes, yes she fucking would. The obama government orchestrated the overthrow of the secular Khadafy regime, to be replaced by a government that immediately legalized polygamy. Is this in the interests of womens' rights? Fuck no, but it's in the interests of oil profits. Has michelle obama said anything about the continuing attacks on women in the u.s.a., including on their female troops by their own comrades? Not a fucking syllable. Nothing about u.s. troops raping women all over the world, either. And they do, from Iraq to Korea. I've posted this before, but read it again,assholes...

From Delhi to Ohio and Around the World:
If You Are Not Fighting Rape, You Are Condoning It!
We Need Revolution and a Whole New World!

by Sunsara Taylor | January 13, 2013 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

On Dec. 16, 2012, a 23-year-old medical student was kidnapped, repeatedly gang-raped and tortured on a bus in Delhi, India, which had been taken over by six men. She was raped repeatedly, beaten viciously, and penetrated by a rusty iron rod which ruptured her internal organs. By the time her rapists dumped her naked body under an overpass, along with her male companion who had sustained broken bones and a severe beating, 95 percent of her intestines had been pulled out of her body. Her rapists attempted to run her over with the bus, but her companion managed to pull her out of the way. Still, her ordeal was not over. For nearly two hours, as blood poured from her body, medical treatment was delayed—first as passersby refused to stop and then as police delayed and debated over whose jurisdiction and responsibility she was. On December 29, after 13 days of emergency surgeries and medical attention, she died.
On August 11, 2012, a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio, passed out at a party. While she was unconscious, the stars of the local football team stripped her naked, raped her, and goaded party-goers into urinating on her while crowds looked on. They dragged the unconscious girl to three different parties, violating her throughout the night. In cellphone footage taken that night, one of those at the scene can be seen laughing and joking about the rape of the girl. Referring to the fact that she was unresponsive as this assault went on, he jokes, "Is it really rape, cuz you don't know if she wanted it or not. She might have wanted it. That might have been her final wish." While this girl did not, in fact, die, a group of guys can be heard laughing as one of them goes on for a full 12 minutes saying things like, "She is deader than OJ Simpson's wife," and, "She is deader than Trayvon Martin."
How different are these two stories, really?
The cold truth is that today there is not a single place on the planet where it is safe to be female.
There is no place—on the street or in one's home, in a rural Third World countryside or in the major cities of the imperialist citadels, from Delhi to Congo to Ohio and everywhere else—where women and girls are not in danger of being raped. Where women and very young girls are not then blamed and devalued for being raped. Where women and girls are not told to "get over it" when they are raped. Where women are not reduced to breeders of children—shamed, coerced or forced into bearing children against their will. Where abortion and even birth control is not either illegal or seriously under attack. Where women and very young girls are not oppressed, beaten, imprisoned, insulted, molested, abused, harassed, exploited, murdered, spat upon, thrown acid at, groped, shamed or otherwise systematically diminished.
But this violence and degradation, all this cruelty and viciousness, is not just the depraved behavior of a handful of men. Nor is this just "human nature."
This is the nature of many men as they are shaped by the system we now live under, the global system of imperialism, which has patriarchy—the domination of women by men—woven into its foundation, its traditions, its "morals," and its culture. This violence is a direct and inevitable outgrowth of a system that feasts off of and requires the subjugated and degraded position of women in both its feudal/ medieval forms and in its so-called "modern" forms.
And this violence and hatred of women is fostered and CELEBRATED in one of the most mainstream cultural cornerstones of U.S. society today and one of the biggest industries in the world: pornography and the sex industry.
It is no coincidence that pornography has become more and more violent, degrading and cruel even as it has become more and more mainstream. It is not a coincidence that one of the most popular forms of pornography today is rape porn—and gang-rape in particular!
These rapes cannot be separated from the larger relations in the world where millions of women and young girls every year are kidnapped, tricked, sold by starving families, and beaten into the global web of sex slavery—and where millions of men have been conditioned to see women as nothing more than flesh to be consumed, defiled, brutalized, and discarded.
If there were nothing else wrong with this system, this alone would be reason enough to rise up and make revolution to sweep this system—with its celebration of woman-hating and horrific suffering it causes—off the face of the earth! And anyone who dreams of a better world must take up this fight.
As Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, has put it:
"You cannot break all the chains, except one. You cannot say you want to be free of exploitation and oppression, except you want to keep the oppression of women by men. You can’t say you want to liberate humanity yet keep one half of the people enslaved to the other half. The oppression of women is completely bound up with the division of society into masters and slaves, exploiters and exploited, and the ending of all such conditions is impossible without the complete liberation of women. All this is why women have a tremendous role to play not only in making revolution but in making sure there is all-the-way revolution. The fury of women can and must be fully unleashed as a mighty force for proletarian revolution."
It is URGENT that this fury come forth—and it is a tremendous, and tremendously important, thing that this has begun to erupt throughout India!
For weeks, thousands of women as well as a significant number of men in India have been rising up in furious revolt against this recent gang-rape and death and the whole culture of misogyny it concentrates. For weeks, women's fury has poured out. Fury at having to live in fear every day of being attacked and raped. Fury at the way so many men treat public spaces as free-for-all zones for groping and harassing women. Fury at the way women are shamed and blamed if they are the victims of rape and other assaults. Fury at the way law enforcement ignores rape and protects rapists—where often it is the law enforcement, military and political officials themselves who are the rapists! Fury at the fact that in every realm of society, women are degraded and demeaned, devalued and brutalized, shamed and judged, treated like property and exploited and oppressed.
One of the most common things women are saying is, "This girl could have been me, it could have been any of my friends, and no one would have taken us seriously."
Through their fierce struggle, through their rage and defiance, these women and men are finally being taken seriously! They have faced down police wielding batons, water cannons and pepper spray. They have fought off sexual assault by reactionary men who went into the crowds to try to stop them. In fact, all this only made them more angry and made their protests more powerful!
Just, three weeks ago, almost none of these women themselves had any idea how furious they were. Three weeks ago, almost no one had any idea of the potential for growing numbers of men to stand up together with them. Make no mistake: the same depth of fury among women and potential among men exists within women and men the world over, but it will never come to the surface if we do not fight for it.
It is urgent that people everywhere stand with the women rising up in India. Their struggle is our struggle—the women there are our sisters!
It is urgent that we bring to people who are rising up an understanding of the genuine communist revolution as BA has re-envisioned it that is needed—and possible!—to get rid of the scourge of rape throughout the world. A good place to start is by digging into and spreading A Declaration: For Women's Liberation and the Emancipation of All Humanity.
Finally, it is urgent that we take a lead and inspiration from the unleashed anger in India to bring the same to the surface here in this country and everywhere else on this planet. We must take the responsibility to unleash this fury as a mighty force for the most radical and liberating revolution in human history—fighting today to put an end to the constant abuse and degradation of women, the whole culture of rape and pornography that stalks and endangers women, the whole vicious assault on women's right to birth control and abortion—as we build up the strength to put an end to this madness, here and all over the world, once and for all through communist revolution at the soonest possible time!

From Delhi to Ohio and Around the World—If You Are Not Fighting Rape, You Are Condoning It!
Stop Watching Porn—Start Fighting Patriarchy!
Unleash the Fury of Women as a Mighty Force for Revolution!

NATIONAL DAY OF IMPERIALIST BULLSHIT

This country has seen fit to "honour" those 40,000 who have fought, and those 158 who have fallen, in a "national day of honour" to commemorate kkkanada's role in Afghanistan. This is the noble mission where kkkanada sent troops in a support role for the fucking amerikkkan government, so they could pacify the region in order to build an oil pipeline to keep their fucking profits coming in. This is the politics of capitalist imperialist assholes, concerned not with lives, but with securing their profits, no matter what the fucking cost. No, I cannot support this, and springsteen can fuck off.
  There have been 3,435 "coalition" casualties, of which the yanks had the largest share, at 2,178. On the other hand, and what actually makes this an international day of DIShonour, is the fact that between 18-20,000 Afghani civilians have been killed since the invasion, and this is a conservative estimate, from the Brown UniversityWatson Institute for International Studies. This is the shit no one fucking talks about, because everyone wants to cry for their own invading and pillaging troops, instead of the civilians who are actually enduring all of the costs and suffering brought on by this predatory bloodthirsty adventure. Fuck it, and fuck the war.

CAN YOU SEE IT YET?

Obama’s New Criteria for Releasing People From Prison—Smoke and Mirrors Aimed at Covering Over the Horrors of Mass Incarceration

by Carl Dix | May 5, 2014 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

On April 20, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that it was broadening its criteria for evaluating petitions for clemency from federal prisoners. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said the new criteria “are aimed at inmates serving time for nonviolent drug offenses, are intended to lead to a reduction in the nation's federal prison population and also to ensure that those who have paid their debts have a chance to become productive citizens."
Some people say this shows that Obama is trying to do good but has been held back by right-wingers in Congress. They say people should get behind Obama on this and work with his administration to make this change happen and encourage him to keep doing things like this.
In reality, this is a case of a world-class criminal, Obama, who presides over targeted assassinations, hundreds of drone strikes that kill innocent people, immigration raids that tear families apart and disappear people, mass incarceration that has tens of millions of people’s lives enmeshed in the criminal “injustice” system, and more. This criminal sees that his system’s ass is hanging out—that people are opening their eyes to the 2.2 million people in prison, more than 60 percent of them Black or Latino; the torture of solitary confinement enforced on 80,000 people in prison; women subjected to rape; and more. Obama sees that there is growing anger at the horrors of mass incarceration and there’s potential for this to lead to people broadly questioning the legitimacy of a system that does all this shit to people.
So he has begun to talk about mass incarceration being a problem and to make some moves to try to cover over its ugly reality. But when you sort thru the smoke and mirrors of the DOJ announcement of new criteria for evaluating clemency petitions, you find changes that will only apply to a small percentage of the people in prison. We won’t know for months how many people end up getting released under these criteria, or even if any people end up getting released under them. But we do know that less than 5 percent of those in prison in the U.S. right now can meet the first of the criteria—being a federal prisoner serving time for a nonviolent drug offense—because the vast majority of inmates are incarcerated in state or local, not federal, prisons, and so are completely ineligible for this program. When you add in other aspects of Holder’s new criteria—that people be able to make a case that they would be sentenced to a shorter sentence today and that they have no disciplinary infractions on their records in prison—we find that this could come down to a lot of fanfare over the release of a few thousand or even only a few hundred people from prison.
Look, people sentenced to decades behind bars for possessing a banned substance should get out of jail, but should we get behind and work with Obama because he’s talking about letting a few people out of jail? I say HELL NO! Even if they let all the people who met the nonviolent drug offense criteria out of federal prison, the structure of mass incarceration in the U.S. as a whole would remain intact; to say nothing of all the other crimes against the people Obama presides over.
Let’s look at this. If in 1860, the slave masters said they were going to free 20,000 Black people from slavery, should those opposed to the slave system have decided to work with the slave masters? If Hitler had said he was going to free 30,000 Jews held in the death camps during World War 2, should people have decided to work with the Nazis? If apartheid South Africa had said it was going to lift the restrictions on one million Africans, should the anti-apartheid movement have decided to work with that apartheid regime? It’s no different with Obama and the U.S. imperialist rulers.
This is not a time to step back from fighting against the horror of mass incarceration which has tens of millions of mostly Black and Latino people living their lives enmeshed in the web of the criminal “injustice” system. It’s a time to step up the struggle to wipe off the face of the earth the system responsible for this horror, and all the other horrors the imperialist system enforces on humanity—women forced into sexual slavery, the devastation of the environment, the wars for empire, and more. It’ll take communist revolution, and nothing less, to do this.
And all those who see the horrors of the racially disparate mass incarceration and want to see it ended need to throw in to take the movement of resistance to a whole other level. The way to do this is to join in the October Month of Resistance to Mass Incarceration, Police Terror, Repression and the Criminalization of a Generation.

America’s Neo-Nazi Government in Kiev. Towards a Scenario of Military Escalation?

The US-NATO sponsored Kiev coalition government is responsible for the killings perpetrated by Neo-Nazi Right Sector mobs and security forces in Odessa in which at least 43 people were killed. 
In Odessa, Right Sector thugs set fire to the city’s Trade Union building leading to countless deaths of innocent civilians who were burnt alive within the building which had been set ablaze.
“Such actions are reminiscent of the crimes of the Nazis,” said Russia’s Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin.
The “international community” has turned a blind eye, the Western media has described the Neo-Nazi Brown shirts as “freedom fighters”. In the words of Eric Sommers:
May 2, 2014 -  the date that fascist forces supported by the U.S. government attacked and murdered helpless civilians in the Ukraine – is a day which will live in infamy”. 
In recent developments, Obama has granted full support to the crackdown on so-called “pro-Russian” activists. This movement against America’s fascist regime in Kiev is widespread. It is not limited to “ethnic Russians” as conveyed by the media. The leaders of this movement are Ukrainians.
The Neo-Nazi mobs bear the hallmarks of  US sponsored terrorism (e.g Syria) trained to commit atrocities against civilians.  America’s Neo-Nazi Government in Kiev is a reality. Confirmed by Germany’s Bild: “Dozens of specialists from the US Central Intelligence Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation are advising the Ukrainian government”
“Citing unnamed German security sources, Bild am Sonntag said the CIA and FBI agents were helping Kiev end the rebellion in the east of Ukraine and set up a functioning security structure.”
Escalation
The killings of civilians in Eastern and South Eastern Ukraine by Neo-Nazi mobs and members of the civilian militia opens up the possibility of a broader conflict within Ukraine, which could potentially lead to escalation. Moreover, prevailing divisions within Ukraine’s  armed forces could lead to military action directed towards unseating the Kiev Neo-Nazi regime. 
Known and documented, escalation is part of a longstanding scenario of military confrontation directed against the Russian Federation.

Trade Unions building set ablaze by Right Sector thugs (Reuters)
“The Anti-Terrorist Operation”
The killings are part of the so-called “anti-terrorist operation” initiated by the Kiev government with the support of the Pentagon.
The “anti-terrorist operation” is coordinated by the National Security and National Defense Committee (RNBOU). (Рада національної безпеки Ñ– оборони України), which is controlled by Svoboda and Right Sector. Dmytro Yarosh, Neo-Nazi leader of the Right Sector delegation in the parliament, oversees the National Guard, a loyal civilian militia created in March with the support of Western military advisers. Paramilitary training of the National Guard commenced in mid-March, north of Kiev.
While the media has presented the crisis as a confrontation between “pro-Russian” and “Ukrainian nationalists”, the grassroots movement in Eastern Ukraine has widespread support. It is largely directed against the Neo-Nazi Kiev regime supported by the West.
The National Guard
In the wake of the Coup, divisions have emerged within Ukraine’s regular military forces and police, which “can not be trusted” in carrying out an “anti-terrorist operation” on behalf of the Kiev regime directed against civilians:
Concerns over the loyalty of the Ukrainian army and security agencies have pushed Kiev to start forming an additional armed branch, which it will fully control.
The National Guard is designed to be 60,000-strong and completely independent from the country’s military and police.
Recruitment across Ukraine began on March 13, with around 20,000 people already joining the new uniformed service. RT
In eastern Ukraine, the National Guard has been given the mandate to “reinforce regular military units defending against a feared Russian invasion… it it is intended to act as a counterinsurgency force.”
Members of this civilian militia operating alongside Neo-Nazi mobs have been set loose in Eastern Ukraine and Odessa.
Right Sector can be identified by its members openly wearing Nazi insignia, as well as carrying crimson and black banners. Mobs supporting the Svoboda party are also present among recent clashes, wearing yellow armbands with the Nazi wolfangel symbol upon them. Odessa Massacre Pushes Ukraine to the Edge.

The actions of the National Guard are coordinated by the RNBOU. In turn, the riot police and units of the armed forces are also overseen by RBOU, which is controlled by the two Neo-Nazi parties.
These killings of civilians are part of a carefully planned military agenda involving both the National Guard as well organized armed Neo-Nazi mobs, casually described by the media as pro-Ukrainian activists. These are the foot soldiers of the Western military alliance.  The Odessa killings bear the fingerprints of a US-NATO led intelligence operation, with both National Guard and Right Sector militants trained in paramilitary combat skills including the killings of innocent civilians.
Ironically, the Israeli media, while largely supporting the Kiev regime, has tacitly acknowledged that the threat of civil war emanates from the Neo-Nazi elements within the government: “Neo-Nazi Militia Leader Threatens ‘Civil War’” according to Israel National News.
Meanwhile, NATO has scheduled military exercises in Poland “as part of NATO reassurance measures in response to the Ukraine crisis”.
Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu has pointed to an extensive and unprecedented buildup of NATO forces within proximity of Russia’s  borders.
