On Monday, activists of the “For a Decent Life” bloc led by Irina Bogdanets rallied on the Maidan in Kiev. Bogdanets told reporters, “Life in the Ukraine grew unbearably worse over the past week. It’s a 21st century holocaust… food prices doubled, medicine prices rose by 50 percent, housing and communal tariffs, including gas tariffs, jumped 50 percent, minibus fare in Kiev doubled. Every day, they warn us that the authorities will start removing the barricades on the Maidan and ask us to go home. Those initiatives come from the entourage of Maidan’s former commandant, Stepan Kubev, who’s now the National Bank President. Who could’ve imagined that the new government would be tyrannical? Today, Maidan activists rally against the new rulers. We demand measures to stabilise the economic situation, or otherwise massive protests will sweep the Ukraine… budget sector workers, pensioners, students… they’ll all take to the streets”.
On 9 April, Kiev residents protested outside the National Bank building in support of demands for economic stabilisation. The bank’s president, Stepan Kubev, came out to the demonstrators and said that one month was not enough and that he needed more time to get his bearings. Meanwhile, Ukrainians are withdrawing cash from banks. In March, total personal deposits in Ukrainian banks shrunk by around 6 percent or 26 billion gryvnias (73.7 billion Roubles. 2.05 billion USD. 2.25 billion CAD. 2.2 billion AUD. 1.5 billion Euros. 1.25 billion UK Pounds) and total corporate deposits decreased by 3 percent. Banks are trying to reverse the situation by offering higher interest rates on deposits. However, most depositors are fearful.

The real Maidan activists… not the American-paid provocateurs… not the slinking politicos around Timoshenko… found out that the junta and its American puppeteers fucked them royally with no Vaseline. They found out that the junta’s selling the country out to Western corporate interests at fire-sale prices… but the oligarchs and the politicos will benefit… so, the people be damned! Where was Bob Dreyfuss of The Nation? Where was Christiane Amanpour of CNN? They were nowhere to be found. You see, I believe that many in the media are as much running dogs of Langley as the junta is.
We Orthodox should put the question to Victor Potapov, Sophia Kishkovsky, and Rod Dreher… “Do you support the Mother Church and its espousal of a strong state, or, do you stand with the American Establishment and the godless Republicans in their call for no state at all in effectual terms?” Orthodoxy believes in Symphonia… not the crackbrained Neo-Libertarian Free Market LSD hallucinations of John McCain, Sarah Palin, Grover Norquist, and John Boehner.
However, all of us need to reflect on how the oligarchs use the media to shape our lives. They’ve been trying to roll back the truth ever since 1946. Reflect on this… they want a perpetual McCarthy witch hunt… is that what you want? Rush Limbaugh or FDR… that’s the only choice on offer. I’d remind you that the USA won the greatest victory in its history under the socialist New Deal. Under the Limbaughesque Rotten Deal, American cosmonauts have to bum rides on Russian spacecraft and American standards continue to fall. Someone’s gotta pay for endless wars and sweetheart deals for the rich… that someone is YOU. If you vote Republican, you’re a sucker.
Ask yourself… “Where is the Western media in covering the anti-oligarch patriot resistance to the junta?” They weren’t there. You’d best find another source of news…
