Here is some footage which you are unlikely to see on the Idiot-tube:
1) Thugs from the Nazi Svoboda Party (aka “Socialist-National” Party) beat up a TV channel director and force him to resign. You can get more details about this incident here: http://rt.com/news/ukraine-forced-resignation-nationalism-674/
2) Brownshirts from the Right Sector attack a couple on the street:
3) Ukrainian demonstrators are trying to stop military units loyal to the insurgency from driving towards the east of the Ukraine:

Readout of the President’s Call with Chancellor Merkel of Germany
President Obama spoke this morning with Chancellor Merkel regarding Russia’s violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity. The leaders condemned Russia’s moves to formally annex Crimea, which is a violation of international law, and noted there would be costs. They agreed it was vital to send international monitors from the Organization for Security Cooperation in Europe and the United Nations to southern and eastern Ukraine immediately. Both leaders agreed to continue to underscore to Russian President Putin that there remains a clear path for resolving this crisis diplomatically, in a way that addresses the interests of both Russia and the people of Ukraine. Finally, the leaders discussed ways to support Ukraine as it works to stabilize its economy and prepare for elections in May. They noted the importance of bilateral as well as multilateral support for Ukraine, including through the International Monetary Fund and the European Union. The two leaders agreed to continue to coordinate closely on the situation in Ukraine in the days to come, including at the G-7 meeting in the Hague.

Will Svoboda turn on the Blackwater, Zio Oligarchs, Zio EU, Afrikan Obama State Department, ZioCons, Nuland, McCain and gangsters? When will this happen?
Did the Nuland and America steal 30 tons fo the Ukraine’s gold worth billions? Will S and Eastern Ukraine join Rossiya?

Perhaps you might be interested in asking questions about foreign policy of EU MEP member Margrete Auken in her online “Ask Me Anything Interview”? She seems to be interested in weaning the EU away from imports of Russian gas, but I’m sure that’s just because of Green Party affiliation.
The armor vehicle in the last video seems to be a BMD-1, which is an airborne infantry fighting vehicle. Can this indicate the unit what was involved? I remember I saw somewhere that one of the Ukrainian airborne unit was sent out of Lviv awhile back. Since I don’t know Russian or Ukrainian, so don’t know what they are talking about. Perhaps get a quick translation?

Nothing at ANNA about this, they posts his wife’s messages, but KM has an article.

Several other eastern Ukrainian popular leaders have been detained by the bandera bum bandits, Alexander Kharitonov, Davidchenko Anton, and there where abouts remain unknown.
вот так
As I said before, it’s Croatian scenario 2.0. Moreover, I am very positive that many of the thugs from Croatia / Bosnia / Kosovo are operating now in Ukraine (as many are in Syria) due to their “experience” for which they were given a slap on the hand.
For some odd reason, I can’t access the RT’s site all day long. Anybody else having the same problem?
I tried by clearing out cache, flushing DNS, restarting modem, etc., but still the same; all other sites I usually visit are accessible except for the rt.com.
Many thanks in advance!
The video clip showing TV Channel director forced to resign is just the start of another phase in this movement. My wife (who is Ukrainian) has access to many clips showing more of this. Young men going to Hospital where the CEO is Russian or was part of Party of Regions and giving papers saying “they WILL resign” in 24hours. They say they know where they live and if their written resignation is not forth coming in that timeframe they will be visited at home, with bad outcome.
The poor chap in the clip from the TV Station, was taken down to the Maidam (Independence Square) and was going to be handed to a group of protestors, who his Channel had mention nearly a month ago they were extremists. So I do not think you need to imagine his final outcome !!
This is the clip before taken away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFxW1FWpVMU
These others that are going around demanding resignations, are from a “People’s Tribunal” looks to be self elected rebellion police group. Hers is a web site of the main man, also some vid clips of his nasty work. http://vk.com/yuri_hort

Here is the man(?):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ihor_Miroshnychenko
A garbage can has more dignity.
Here is another shocking clip of Lugansk Parliament region. He apparently put a Russian Flag on an administration building. He was also apparently saved but got fingers broken 1st http://www.kp.ru/daily/26203/3090315/
Just to add to the clip regarding the man from Lugansk Parliament, the main intimidatory (the one dressed in expensive clothing) is Oleg Lyashko – this man is from Rada (radical Party) and will stand for President this May
In the vid – he said “I will kill you if you speak back to me again”
Again, you call the thugs on the 2nd video “brownshirts”.
Yet, they do not carry a uniform.
What’s the point?
I seriously do not understand. Do you think it creates more of an impact? More than what they actually did?
Besides, the SA did not cover their faces and were extremely disciplined. It is absurd to even compare them with a group of common thugs, no matter what they actually call themselves.
These thugs have more in common with the ones you normally see in the West calling themselves antifas, or antifascists. No uniform, covered face, extremely violent and easily susceptible to provocation.
The exact opposite of discipline.
Again, what’s the point? Is this being a nazi troll?
@mujahedin: Again, you call the thugs on the 2nd video “brownshirts”. Yet, they do not carry a uniform. What’s the point?
Surely you are aware that the expression brownshirt refers to more than a dress code? In this case, I refer to the violent and cowardly terrorisation of a victim by a group of thugs.
the SA did not cover their faces and were extremely disciplined
They did not cover their faces because they felt impunity which the Ukie brownshirts are still unsure about. As for the discipline of the SA, it held during demonstrations. When they assaulted people, shops and families, they acted just like your garden variety street thugs.
Is this being a nazi troll?
Yes, but in this case it provided me with a good opportunity to debunk some Nazi propaganda myths and set the record straight. But don’t count on more posts like that – I will send them were they belong: to the stinking trash heaps of history ;-)
Cheers,

I saw some of these videos on RT. I saw them completely missing from anything the BBC was reporting today. If there was no RT, most people would be unaware. The BBC has changed a lot recently. At this rate, they will make themselves irrelevant soon.
I think you had mentioned in an earlier post that the job of the state is to protect the weak from the strong. Who is going to protect these people in Ukraine.
“They did not cover their faces because they felt impunity which the Ukie brownshirts are still unsure about.”
I also find face masks,head gear, face paint very intimidating. I have seen military units wearing them up close, and they are unnerving. They could be wearing them to intimidate the population and lend a seriousness to their madness.
I know what Putin has done is right. But he could only achieve this because he could with might. This referendum/self determination opens up a can of worms in nearly every country you look at: Balluchis in Pakistan and Iran; Kurds in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran; Kashmiris in India; Basque nationalist in Spain and France; Chechens in Russia. Most countries you look at, will have some ethnic group that wants independence at one one point or another either of their own will or by being influenced by propaganda. I’m not against it at all. But how do you define where it begins and where it ends? for now its only those with power who can decide. All i’m saying is what’s good for the goose…
take care Saker, always nice to read your amazing, honest, from the heart, and “God fearing” blog.

provided me with a good opportunity to debunk some Nazi propaganda myths
Indeed. But you didn’t debunk anything, really. You just said it wasn’t like that because.
Any google image search for “antifa” and “sa” will show which is more like what. But I think you know that, don’t you? ;)
I just like the truth and accuracy. A lion might be as savage as a wolf – and I’m not saying it is – but you don’t go about calling lion to every animal with sharp fangs just because of that.
And, you know, Dieudonné is called a nazi over there in France. I wouldn’t be surprised if they called his fans brownshirts… Or the guys in the Manif pour tous.
So I’m not bothered at all to be called a nazi troll even though I’m not nazi and I don’t troll on purpose. These days, it comes with calling things for what they actually are, and I think we need a bit more of that in the world.
Still, I like being polite so, thanks again for the all the insights. They’re appreciated.
With regard to these hideous Banderista animals, the label “Brownshirts” makes sense all right. However, I think it’s high past time we came up with something more effective and sarcastic — first and foremost by ridiculing all Western ideological horseshit. Here are a few suggestions applicable to Jarosh and his followers at home and abroad:
a) Western democrats
b) The International Community
c) Soros Incorporated
Amerikistas?
d) Toilet cleaners for the EU
Even NBC has now said the word “Fascist” and carried the story of the news director being beaten up.

Sokenekos, there are a lot of steps between your computer and the RT server… if you try to get to RT via a third party proxy, such as http://www.thinkproxy.org, you will at least be able to tell if the problem is closer to you, or to the RT server :-)

@Anonymous – many thanks!
I used your proxy link to remind my ISP that “there are ways to fight against fascism”, and they unblocked the site last night!
Cheers!
