Hypocrisy On Parade, the Dems, Biden, Trump and Assange


   The latest media frenzy is about a "whistle blower" (CIA spy) in the Trump White House who informed Congress that Trump had asked the president of Ukraine to cooperate in an investigation of Biden corruption after the US-backed coup in Ukraine in Feb 2014.

   While most media attention at that time was about the Crimeans voting to leave the neo-Nazi coup government of Ukraine, and return to Russia, or about the east part of Ukraine which also voted to refuse governance by neo-nazis, very little imperial media attention was given to the the Nazis killing opponents and burning people alive in the Trade Union hall nor to the swift US corporate takeover of Ukrainian land and resources. 

  Monsanto, Cargill and other corporations moved in to take over the rich lands of Ukraine, long known as the "breadbasket of Europe".  GMOs had been banned in Ukraine, but post-coup, the laws were changed.

   Hunter Biden was given a plum position on the board of Burisma, a natural gas corporation, as the US pushed fracking in Ukraine.   Biden received monthly payments ranging between $50,000 and $166,000, although he knew nothing about energy or management, having only recently been kicked out of the US Navy for cocaine use.

    Joe Biden bragged in 2018 that he had withheld IMF funds from Ukraine until Poroshenko fired the chief prosecutor who was investigating the corruption of Burisma.

    This is ignored by the Dems, who have actually started impeachment proceedings against Trump, for the crime of saying "though" in his transition between talking about military aid to Ukraine (illegal, since Ukraine has killed 15,000 eastern Ukrainians and continues to bomb and kill them to this day),  and asking Zelensky for his help in the investigation into the Ukrainian help to Clinton in the 2016 election.   The Dems insist that the word "though" means that Trump was making a link between the (illegal) military aid and the legal help.

    The rampant hypocrisy of the Dems is starkly shown in these proceedings.

    Just as hypocritical was their complete silence in April, when the whistleblower Julian Assange was dragged from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, after Ecuador revoked his asylum.
    A $10,000,000 IMF loan to Ecuador followed that atrocity.

    Where was the concern of Dems about whistleblowers and bribes to foreign countries then?

    The hypocrisy is blatant and shameful.
