Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Kiev snipers hired by new coalition, not Yanukovych

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Kiev snipers hired by new coalition, not Yanukovych - Estonian FM to Ashton

Click here to access leaked phone call between Estonian Foreign Minister and EU foreign affairs officer posted on Voice of Russia.

I'm not sure the leaked phone call proves that the Western backed coalition used snipers against protestors and policemen, but it certainly raises a lot of suspicions and questions that I'm sure will not be investigated. It also supports the information that William Engdahl recently received from his source. The following is part of what the Estonian official reported in the leaked conversation about his visit to Kiev as revealed in the 10:50m video.

"And second, what was quite disturbing, this same Olga [Bogomolets] told as well that all the evidence shows that the people who were killed by snipers from both sides, among policemen and then people from the streets, that they were the same snipers killing people from both sides," the Estonian FM stressed.

Ashton reacted to the information by saying: "Well, yeah…that’s, that’s terrible."

"So that she then also showed me some photos she said that as a medical doctor she can say that it is the same handwriting, the same type of bullets, and it’s really disturbing that now the new coalition, that they don’t want to investigate what exactly happened," Paet said.

About all she could respond with was a feeble "that's terrible" and "I think we do want to investigate, ...that's interesting."

Snipers have appeared in all the recent protests in Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Ukraine which I think is used to create panic, a climate of terrorism, and a backlash against authorities who are blamed.
