Another letter by the teenage girl from Wales

I asked her for permission to print this letter, She made one stipulation: 
(Thank you for your response.

OK.  With one proviso.  Since things are changing by the minute, put the time and date I wrote it (4:22 am 2/27/14 my time (Donetsk) -- 6:22 pm 2/26/14 your time CST (US)).)

Since November of last year, I have been monitoring the Ukraine situation with deep interest and concern, especially the last three weeks plus.

          There have been three modes of information source available which I utilized to keep current with events.

          First, of course, are numerous relatives, friends and acquaintances "on the ground" in various parts of the country who are experiencing first hand what is transpiring.

          Additionally, thanks to the internet, there are various "news" outlets (TV, radio, print and websites) both in Ukraine and other parts of Europe which supply needed information.  However, you have to know which ones because of extreme bias.  Out of the United States, about the only reliable entity is Fox News.  And I can't leave out the various bloggers and tweeters.

          Then there are (were) a couple live web cams which showed overall panoramas of Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) and Mariyinsky Park (Constitution Square), both in Kiev, 24 hours a day showing all that was happening.

          While most of the coverage concerns the actions in Kiev, protests and demonstrations were occurring all over Ukraine, including Donetsk.

          Of all those in Ukraine I worry about, the three you are most aware of are my grandparents in Kiev, and AK in Donetsk.

          So what is this all about ??  It is about alignment, personal freedom, political and economic corruption, and social degeneration.

          Of everybody involved, there are five names which you should focus upon:  (Ex) President Viktor Yanukovych, former president Yulia Tymoshenko, 
Minister of Internal Affairs Vitaliy Zakharchenko, Oleksandr Turchynov, speaker of the Parliament, and 
Vitali Klitschko, leader of the Ukrainian Democratic Alliance for Reform.  (If Vitali Klitschko's name sounds familiar, he just recently retired as the World Heavyweight Boxing Champion.)          

          The beginning of all this actually goes back to the fall of the Soviet Union.  Then the Orange Revolution of 2004.  However, this is no time for a history lesson.
 
          Alignment.  The question:  Should Ukraine associate itself (economically, socially and politically) with the "European Union" and the West, or with Russia ??  A large majority of Ukrainians chose Europe and the West, as most still remember its long occupation and suppression by the USSR.  Through the democratic process, an agreement (contract) was passed stating Ukraine would join the EU.  Appeared everything was settled, however, President Yanukovych (long known as a puppet of Russia's president Putin) at the last minute discarded the agreement in favor of aligning with Russia.

          Personal Freedom.  Though Ukraine was no longer under the thumb of the USSR, government control had steadily crept back into people's lives under Yanukovych, mainly enforced by the Titushky, 
Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and the Berkut.

          Political and Economic Corruption.  I am ashamed to admit it, but Ukraine is one of the most corrupt nations of the world. 
          Social Degeneration.  Because of the government's involvement and protection of organized crime, Ukraine has become the center of sexual trafficking, prostitution, child pornography, smuggling, and other activity.     

          Seeing all this unfolding before my eyes, I could not stay away.  Fortunately, much has been resolved.  Yanukovych has been removed from office.  The Constitution has been restored to its prior status before he took power.  Yulia Tymoshenko has been released from prison (she is the former Prime Minister and leader of the Orange Revolution who was imprisoned byYanukovych's courts on false charges), couple days ago the Berkut was disbanded, all USSR monuments have been destroyed, close to a hundred governmental officials have been arrested and charged for "organizing the killing of protesters, and again making Ukrainian the official language of the nation.

          Euromaidan (anti-communist, pro European seizing of government buildings) "occupations" have taken place in most Oblasts.

          Yanukovych and several other officials are now fugitives.  He and some others tried to escape by flying out of Donetsk, but were denied.

          Donetsk is in the eastern part of the country.  This eastern part is where the highest degree of Russian is spoken, though not necessarily supportive of Russia itself.

          The Kharkiv Oblast (province north of Donetsk) declared "separation" from Ukraine.  However, its governor (Mikhail Dobkin) and its city's mayor (Hennadiy Kernes) have fled to Russia.

          In the south (Sevastopol and Simferopol) pro-Russian separatists and Crimean Tatars(with help from the Russian military) have held protests to secede.   Russian soldiers have already been sighted in the Crimea.

          There are still huge demonstrations all over Ukraine, especially here in the east.  Thousands of protesters on both sides fought in Kharkiv and Donetsk just yesterday.  But the main tension all over Ukraine is the uncertainty of what Putin will do.  Rumors everywhere.  Most believe he will invade (at least in the East first) as he is not likely to lose Ukraine.  He did it in Georgia.  We all know the USA will do nothing because Obama is weak, cowardly, inept and incompetent.  All talk.  Probably as corrupt asYanukovych.  He is deemed more irrelevant than anything.

The Girl From Wales 

Revenge of the Innocent

You know? Revenge is a dish best served cold. And I have a feeling it’s fixing to be served up. I don’t think it’s going to be very pretty.

Here we are all in a panic over ‘Global Warming,’ New World Order,’ ‘Feeding the Hungry,’ ‘Contaminated Water Supplies,’ ‘Housing Market Melt Down,’ ‘Immigrant Invasion,’ ‘War on Terrorist,’ “Health Care,’ ‘Earthquakes!’ ‘Volcanoes Erupting!!’ ‘Giant Waves!!!,’ on and on and on…..

Details…. Just a bunch of details. There is an old saying, ‘The Devil is in the Details.’ Well… You know what? That’s true. My Mother always told me to view life from the bleachers, and beyond. Well, this has been kind of a curse, because I do, and few do. Therefore I never seemed to see what other people see. Often times in the short term, I would appear to be wrong, but it seemed, in the long term, I’ve been right more times than I can count. So… Let me tell you what I see now.

I see the coming revenge of the innocent. We know it says in psalm: 139.13 ‘You created my innermost being, you knit me together in my Mother’s womb, Your eyes saw my unformed body – All the days ordained for me were written in your book, before one of them came to be.’ Now if you ask me, this is a pretty heavy statement, something a God would say.

Now lets suppose, lets just suppose for the sake of argument, that this is God, and he did say this, to us, OOOOooo… Umpteen some odd years ago. In 1973, in this country, the Supreme Court ruled that a Mother could kill her baby before it was born, for lets say…. I don’t know??? Convenience!!!

And in the intern time, we have killed better than 37 million babies. Lets see… In that number there would be brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. (???) Lets see… 1973, the survivors are now what, fixing to be 40 years of age. They are in middle management, in Congress, both houses, huummm…. Of course they don’t realize they are survivors of a great whim of convenience, they never think that the reason they are unmarried is because the Mother of their wife or husband, found them inconvenient!!! They never think, I wonder if I had a brother, or a sister, no they never think about that. But I do know what they are thinking.

If you take a close look at ‘Health Care’ in it present form. It is Revenge of the Innocent, for the survivors are of age now, and the Hippies who all thought this was a good idea, are going to find themselves in the absurd position of being…. Dare I say it!!!! “Inconvenient” Which we all know… Is a legitimate excuse for elimination.

Yes, I think God is upset with us, because we let it go on and on…(details, details, got to get through the details). And you might say, ‘He is giving us just enough rope to hang ourselves.’ I think it will be just as messy, and just as private. My dear friends, ‘the chickens have come home to roost.’ ©
