As they seize weapons, take over government buildings and fire on media outlets, the US-backed Ukrainian protesters are being afforded legitimacy with the aid of a Kony 2012-style viral video which triumphs the grass roots nature of the demonstrations yet is linked to shadowy NGOs that have been directly involved in staging phony \u2018color revolutions\u2019 in the past.<\/i><\/p>\n
httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Hvds2AIiWLA<\/p>\n
The video, entitled\u00a0I am a Ukrainian, already has over 3 million views. It features an attractive woman insistently claiming that the Ukrainian uprising is solely about freedom and democracy.<\/i><\/p>\n
The video is typically glib and simplified emotional propaganda which purports to explain that \u201cthere is only one reason\u201d behind the protests in Ukraine, a bald faced lie which ignores the multi-faceted geopolitical factors behind the uprising, which center on the tug of war between the United States, the EU and Russia.<\/i><\/p>\n
The woman encourages viewers to \u201chelp us only by telling this story\u2026.only by sharing this video,\u201d thereby framing the debate around the naive narrative that the crisis is solely about Ukrainians wanting \u201cfreedom,\u201d and in essence blacklisting the real reasons behind the western-instigated revolt, which focus on the geopolitical isolation of Russia.<\/p>\n
The origins of the video are not quite as \u2018grass roots\u2019 as is portrayed. The clip was\u00a0produced<\/a>\u00a0by the team behind\u00a0A Whisper to a Roar<\/i>, a documentary about the \u201cfight for democracy\u201d all over the world, which was funded by Prince Moulay Hicham of Morocco. The \u201cinspiration\u201d behind the documentary was none other than Larry Diamond, a\u00a0Council on Foreign Relations member<\/a>. The Council on Foreign Relations is considered to be America\u2019s \u201cmost influential foreign-policy think tank\u201d and has deep connections with the U.S. State Department.<\/p>\n \u00a0Diamond has also\u00a0worked closely<\/a>\u00a0with the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The National Endowment for Democracy is considered to be the CIA\u2019s \u201ccivilian arm\u201d and has been\u00a0deeply embroiled in innumerable <\/a>instigated uprisings, attempted coups and acts of neo-colonial regime change since its creation in 1983, including the contrived 2004 \u201cOrange Revolution\u201d that brought US puppet Viktor Yushchenko to power in Ukraine.<\/p>\n Larry Diamond also played an\u00a0instrumental role in the Arab Spring<\/a>\u00a0under the auspices of the NED, a series of supposedly grass roots revolts that were in fact organized and managed by some of the\u00a0most powerful western institutions on the planet<\/a>.<\/p>\n Diamond\u2019s connection to the viral \u201cI am a Ukrainian\u201d video clearly suggests that the clip is a crude effort to convince an unthinking public that the Ukrainian uprising is completely organic and is not being instigated by western powers, when the opposite is in fact the case. The clip is reminiscent of the\u00a0Kony 2012 scam<\/a>, where a viral video utilized simplified propaganda and emotional manipulation to convince millions of people of the necessity of U.S. military involvement in Africa.<\/p>\n In a\u00a0Huffington Post interview<\/a>, the creator of the video admits that he was in Ukraine \u201cpreparing a film on democracy\u201d before the protests even started.<\/p>\n Providing absolute confirmation that the video is a carefully thought out public relations stunt, the woman in the video was immediately invited to appear on CNN with Anderson Cooper in a segment that will be broadcast tonight. Cooper and CNN aggressively pushed the Kony 2012 hoax until it fell apart when one of the directors had a public breakdown. Cooper was also heavily involved in promoting the\u00a0fake \u201cSyria Danny\u201d hoax<\/a> that relied on staged footage to push for U.S. military intervention in Syria.<\/p>\n With clear evidence of\u00a0protesters being paid<\/a>\u00a0amidst accusations that they\u00a0were armed<\/a>\u00a0by the United States, the narrative behind the Ukraine crisis is clearly more complex than a mere grass roots revolt against corruption. The pro-EU protesters are bizarrely seeking closer ties with a European Union infamous for its institutionalized corruption<\/a>, malfeasance which costs almost the same each year as Ukraine\u2019s entire GDP.<\/p>\n Many of the activists taking over government buildings in Kiev are also from the Spilna Sprava group, which is an organization funded and supported by billionaire globalist George Soros\u2019<\/a>\u00a0Open Society Institute.<\/p>\n The stage was set for the Ukraine revolt to become violent in December when US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe Victoria Nuland announced that the U.S. would invest $5 billion in order to help Ukrainians achieve \u201ca good form of government.\u201d The true nature of that government was revealed earlier this month when\u00a0leaked phone conversations emerged of Nuland<\/a>\u00a0conspiring with US ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt to pick Ukraine\u2019s future puppet leaders, making good on\u00a0John McCain\u2019s vow<\/a>\u00a0to neutralize Russian influence.<\/p>\n Millions of people will never know the truth behind the Ukraine uprising because it is somewhat more complex than an attractive girl making glib statements about freedom and democracy for 2 minutes on a YouTube video. This is how propaganda works \u2013 the simpler the better. The video below provides a wider overview of the true agenda behind the crisis.<\/p>\n httpv:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NbhNBBS85mc<\/p>\n ______________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0Paul Joseph Watson<\/i> is the editor and writer for\u00a0Infowars.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Prison Planet.com<\/a>.
