Recently, the Greek prime minister said the government would not tolerate conversion of the country into a pile-up of refugees from the Washington’s wars, which Europe so mindlessly enables and is currently living a life of pleasure, pretending that nothing has happened. He required the European Union to implement its decision about the location of refugees in EU countries and not to close their doors to the immigrants.

The head of the Greek government made a threat that Athens would block the future EU decisions if Brussels did not change its attitude to Greece. On February 25, Athens recalled its ambassador from Vienna for consultations because of differences with Austria about the ways of resolving a migration crisis.

Meanwhile, Greece pays dearly for the war crimes of the American evil empire in the Middle East and North Africa.

Politologist Paul Craig Roberts wrote that the Islamic state is a Washington creation, and until the Paris attacks the United States was strongly backing ISIS with both words and weapons against the Russian military aid to Syria that caught both Washington and ISIS off guard.

Speaking at the 70th UN General Assembly, Russian President Vladimir Putin laid special emphasis on the slaughter, destruction and chaos that Washington has brought to the Middle East, North Africa and Ukraine, and the extreme jihadist and Ukrainian neo-Nazi forces, which have been unleashed. He asked the American evil empire: “Do you realize what you have done?”

Large-scale privatization to start in October

On February 16, the Supreme Council of Ukraine passed the law on privatization of state-owned enterprises.

Previously, the State Property Fund suggested to the Cabinet of Ministers that 20 state-owned enterprises should be included in a plan for privatization in 2016. Among them are the Kharkov-based turbine company Turboatom, which is 75% owned by the state, and the Zaporozhye titanomagnesium plant (51% owned by the state), the only producer of sponge titanium in Europe.

In addition, the plan for privatization of state-owned enterprises envisages the sale of blue-chip companies, such as CentrEnergo (UX: CEEN) valued at $1 billion, SumyKhimProm, ZaporozhyeOblEnergo, and the Odessa port chemical plant estimated at from $800 million to $1.5 billion. Experts say large-scale privatization could start in October, at the earliest, in order to obey the letter of the law.

Sadly for the American puppet government of Ukraine, losses of the largest state companies totaled 9.7 billion grivnas in the first quarter last year. However, receipts from privatization in the amount of 17.1 billion grn are provided for in the state budget for this year. Last year the receipts from privatization amounted to only 151.5 million grn that was a third of the figure in 2014.

According to politologist Paul Craig Roberts, when the country is unable to service loans, creditors send the IMF to tell the indebted government that the fund will protect the government’s credit rating by lending it the money to pay its creditors. The money saved by reduced social benefits and raised by selling off the country’s assets to foreigners serves to repay the IMF. This is the way the West has historically looted Third World countries.

Observers agree that using privatization to cover a short-term budget problem creates a larger long-term problem. The profits of Ukrainian enterprises would flow out of the country, reducing the grivna’s exchange rate. In effect, allowing foreigners to acquire Ukraine’s national assets helps them to speculate against the grivna.

КИЕВ ОБЯЗАЛСЯ ОБЕСПЕЧИТЬ БЕСПРЕПЯТСТВЕННЫЙ ПРОЕЗД РОССИЙСКИМ ФУРАМ

Министерство инфраструктуры Украины договорилось с профильным российским ведомством о возвращении украинских грузовиков, которые остались на территории России и в странах Азии на границе с РФ. В свою очередь, украинское марионеточное правительство обязалось обеспечить беспрепятственный проезд российским фурам, ожидающим возвращения домой из стран ЕС.

Таким образом, на Родину вернутся 600 украинских и 600 российских водителей. Режим «Еду домой» введён с 16 по 25 февраля.

Activity of American puppet government geared to impoverish Ukrainian population

Thanks to faulty activity of the American puppet government, the Ukrainian economy lost billions of dollars. In fact, the volume of export of Ukrainian goods decreased by 30% in January-September 2015. Industrial output and agriculture fell by 13% and about 5% respectively.

According to many analysts, Ukraine lacks resources to build up production capacities, losing markets. Not surprisingly, Ukrainians’ real incomes shrank 26.6% in the third quarter last year.

Observers agree that the activity of the Yatsenyuk government is geared to impoverish the population by increasing taxes and prices of utility bills. The American puppets bully citizens of Ukraine into paying them, otherwise they will be fined. Recent opinion polls show that only 5% of Ukrainians approve of the activity of the puppet government, which came to power owing to the bloody neo-Nazi coup.
