Ukrainian “Parliament” drops Mask, reveals Fascist Nature

by Open-Publishing - Monday 24 February 2014

The Ukrainian Parliament, occupied by the Western-backed “opposition” and masked gunmen, has appointed the speaker of the parliament, Aleksandr Turchinov, as acting president. The “parliament” considers a number of fascist measures, including a ban on parties and media and arrests of senior officials.

After the parliament of the Ukraine, on Saturday, announced that it had adopted to remove President Yanukovich from his post with 380 – 0 votes, the Washington Post reported that the White House released a statement that praised the “constructive work” done by the Ukrainian parliament and urged “the prompt formation of a broad, technocratic government of national unity.” The fact that the government is occupied by masked gunmen was omitted in the name of “Freedom and Democracy – Washington Style”.

On Sunday the parliament elected Turchinov as acting president under similar conditions. MPs who support the move argue that President Yanukovich had de-facto left office, omitting that his car was shot at and that he had to leave for Kharkov to consolidate Ukrainian forces to reestablish a constitutional government. Yanukovich rejects to step down and stresses that the EU-brokered agreement included guarantees for a unity government, elections in September to December and other provisions.

Turchinov, now purported to be acting president, was elected as speaker of the parliament after his predecessor Vladimir Rybak resigned when the opposition and masked gunmen took control over the parliament building.

The parliament is considering a number of key decisions to assume full power in the Ukraine, including the appointment of a new prime minister, prosecutor general and other top-officials, The parliament has voted to oust key figures of the Yanukovich administration and appointed a new foreign minister, education minister and health minister. The parliament also considers

 To outlaw the Party of Regions, led by President Yanukovich as well as the Ukrainian Communist Party. Both parties have elected MPs
 To outlaw Russian media because of “biased reporting” about the events in the Ukraine.
 To arrest ”former (ousted) senior officials”, including Income Minister Alexandr Klimenko the “former” Prosecutor Genereral Victor Pshonka. Allegedly, both were stopped on Saturday by Ukrainian border control, due to “lack of paperwork” as they were trying to leave the Ukraine.

While the parliament attempts to legitimize and consolidate its power grab, several regions in southern and eastern Ukraine declared that they do not consider the parliament or any of its decisions legitimate, stressing that a parliament, controlled by gunmen and decisions being made under duress and threats of violence are unconstitutional.

Governors of the southern and southeastern regions of the Ukraine have begun forming popular militias to protect law and order, prevent riots, and the seizure of weapons by radicals as it occurred in Kiev and other western cities.

With parliament proposing the ban of the Party of Regions and other parties, and threaten the arrest of officials, the parliament has effectively seized control and prevents any meaningful dialog. Hence, a vote with 380 – 0 to impeach President Yanukovich, in a parliament “protected” by armed gunmen, outside the building as well as in parliament itself during sessions and voting.

In an interview on Friday evening, President Yanukovich compared the situation with the Nazi grab of power in Germany during the 1930s, saying:

Historian Webster G. Tarpley compared the situation in the Ukraine with Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s October 1922 March on Rome. Political analyst and nsnbc editor Christof Lehmann warns that the situation easily could deteriorate into a civil war and warns that a civil war in the Ukraine risks bringing NATO and the CSTO on a dangerous collision course.

The Ukrainian parliament in Kiev is at the present time solely dominated by the UDAR party of former heavy-weight boxer Vitaly Klitchko, the Batkivshchyna party of Arseniy Yatsenyuk, and the ultra nationalist Svoboda party, led by Oleg Tyagnibok. It is, however, the ultra nationalist and racist Svoboda party, that honors former Ukrainian SS Brigades as “Liberators”, that controls the military part of the coup d’état.
