Okay, but apart from exposing a network, a nexus of corrupt, why did I give you that big Ukrainian history lesson?<\/p>\n
Because something is happening in the Ukraine\u2026 and I suspect Q-team has a lot to do with it.<\/p>\n
Poroshenko just got beaten by a \u201cUkrainian Trump\u201d in a Presidential election.<\/p>\n
And it wasn\u2019t like a narrow victory, either. It was a \u201cpopulist\u201d landslide winning, 73 to 24.<\/p>\n
(Methinks Ukraine had a biiiiiiiit<\/strong> of help with their election integrity this go-round).<\/em><\/p>\n This is, of course why, as Rex will point out in a minute, the media keeps deriding him as a \u201ccomedian.\u201d<\/p>\n Just a quick update for Rex here.<\/p>\n Joe Biden is set to announce his candidacy tomorrow.<\/p>\n I hear he\u2019ll be wearing his \u201cbrown trousers\u201d while standing at the podium, though.<\/p>\n Joe Biden Will Reportedly Announce His Run for President on Thursday<\/p><\/div>\n news.yahoo.com<\/p>\n Okay, back to Rex:<\/p>\n Trump ready to congradulate Zelensky for being elected<\/p><\/div>\n He\u2019s right. Zelensky certainly does have his work cut out for him. But if this is what he\u2019s leading with, it looks like he\u2019s ready to step up to the plate:<\/p>\n Even the IMF seems to be turning the screws against the guy:<\/p>\n Ukraine Enters Uncharted Waters After Comedian Wins Presidency<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n KIEV \u2013 Ukraine entered uncharted political waters on Monday after near final results showed a comedian with no political experience and few detailed policies had dramatically upended the status quo and won the country\u2019s presidential election by a landslide.<\/p>\n Critics accuse the president-elect of having an excessively close relationship with powerful oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky, whose TV channel broadcasts his comedy shows.<\/p>\n Zelenskiy has promised not to be unduly influenced by Kolomoisky. But the fate of PrivatBank, Ukraine\u2019s largest lender which was nationalized in 2016, is set to be one of the earliest and most important tests of that pledge.<\/p>\n The government wrested PrivatBank from Kolomoisky as part of a clean-up of the banking system backed by the IMF. However, a Kiev court ruled last week that the change of ownership was illegal.<\/p>\n Zelenskiy has repeatedly denied he would seek to hand PrivatBank back to Kolomoisky if elected, or help the businessman win compensation for the ownership change.<\/p>\n The IMF will also be watching closely to see if Zelenskiy will allow gas prices to rise to market levels. That is a politically sensitive issue and one Zelenskiy has been vague about.<\/p>\n So, basically, the big banks in Ukraine were \u201cNationalized\u201d in 2016 as part of the ongoing crisis, and ostensibly to \u201cfight corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, these make the big banks defacto Rothschild banks, and given how much has been stolen by corrupt Ukrainian leaders, we can assume this was more about keeping those dark money channels open for the big politicians, than it was about fighting any kind of corruption.<\/p>\n And of course, as part of this deal came \u201ctariffs\u201d on the little man.<\/p>\n Essentially, in the wake of the crisis, the nation was facing an impending debt crisis as well. So the leaders \u2013 who were busy extracting hundreds of billions for themselves \u2013 went to the IMF and secured a 3.9 billion dollar bailout loan\u2026 in exchange for a set of increasing tariffs on gasoline.<\/p>\n That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n The Criminals padded their wallets, sold their nation out, and mired them in debt and misery, all for an unnecessary bailout that the nation wouldn\u2019t need, had they not had criminals in charge.<\/p>\n Anyway, the loan comes in installments. The first 1.4 billion was delivered after Ukraine raise its gas prices 23%.<\/p>\n The second is supposed to arrive in May, following another 15% raise.<\/p>\n But now, as far as I can tell, it looks like they\u2019re trying to sabotage Zelensky before he\u2019s even in office by LOWERING gas prices, decreasing the cost of gasoline by 3.4 percent, instead of raising it by that 15% they promised.<\/p>\n This is what debt slavery looks like on an international scale.<\/p>\n And none of this would even exist, but for the previous crooks in office!<\/p>\n The kicker: One of those guys who got screwed by his bank being nationalized was the same guy who put Zelensky on TV for so many years. And the courts there in the Ukraine just ruled that the seizure of his bank was illegal. So it\u2019s safe to say the tide may be turning in Ukraine.<\/p>\n And about Kolomoisky, the TV oligarch who broadcast Zelensky\u2019s show\u2026 I\u2019m getting real Sheldon Adelson vibes from him, because at the very least, he\u2019s been opposing the right people:<\/p>\n Victor Pinchuk: Friend or foe of Ukraine? – Oct. 14, 2016<\/p><\/div>\n Billionaire Victor Pinchuk is Ukraine\u2019s most renowned philanthropist, spending\u2026 – Oct. 14, 2016. By Isobel Koshiw<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n KyivPost<\/p>\n Other than fellow oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky, with whom he has feuded, Pinchuk maintains working relationships with other oligarchs and top politicians, including Kuchma\u2019s three successors \u2013 Viktor Yushchenko (2005-2010), Viktor Yanukovych (2010-2014) and incumbent Petro Poroshenko.<\/p>\n Pinchuk was the guy we talked about earlier, affiliated with the Clinton Foundation. If Kolomoisky was opposing him, well\u2026 I\u2019m not going to declare anyone a \u201cgood guy\u201d or a \u201cwhite hat\u201d in all this, but, as the saying goes\u2026 the enemy of my enemy\u2026<\/p>\n At any rate, it looks like Ukraine may finally have a chance here with their new President-elect, embattled though he may be, already:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kenrapoza\/2019\/04\/24\/ukraines-funny-president-may-have-to-wait-until-october-to-lead\/#cbfb35b78e21<\/p>\n \u201cThe question now is does he carry through with the IMF? Can he tackle corruption as promised? Can he resolve the crisis with Russia in the eastern provinces? All of this depends on who he appoints to his cabinet and what happens in October,\u201d Truman says.<\/p>\n The IMF isn\u2019t going away. It was never even up for debate during the campaign, so international funding\u2014and its consequences (privatization, lower subsidies)\u2014is not going to come up for a referendum vote under President Zelenskiy.<\/p>\n Russia has been silent on Zelenskiy\u2019s win, saying that Vladimir Putin would talk to him only after his inauguration for some reason. The two countries have been battling each other since 2014.<\/p>\n Washington has invested a great deal in the Ukraine relationship and given that Congress views Kiev as the front line against Russia, it is likely that Trump will be sure to make friends with the TV star sooner rather than later. Trump phoned Zelenskiy on Sunday<\/a><\/u>, beating Putin to the punch. Zelenskiy will probably come to Washington before he goes to Moscow.<\/p>\n Zelensky needed a lifeline.<\/p>\n How much you want to bet Trump is that lifeline?<\/p>\n All he has to do now, is have his party win a majority of seats in Parliament in October, and he\u2019ll be able to set to work on his anti-corruption agenda.<\/p>\n Something tells me he\u2019ll have quite a bit of help on that front, too.<\/p>\n But do you\u00a0really\u00a0<\/em>think Trump is going to walk away from all this, empty-handed?<\/p>\n No, Trump tweeted this out this morning:<\/p>\n To be continued…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Astounding, is it not?
