The week before the Orthodox Christian Easter, the US senate went frantic with activities, adopting one obscene legislature after another.

  • On April 28, US House Armed Services Committee adopted $610 billion, one of the largest single annual budget measures considered by Congress
  • $3.4 billion effort to increase the US military presence in Eastern Europe
  • Tackled the question of another major arms control agreement: The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty, which the US violated by using long-range cruise missile capable Mk-41 launchers for BMD systems in Europe. The US Congress agreed with itself that Russia did it
  • The US has just violated the Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement
  • US Lawmakers to Kill Open Skies Treaty

On April 29, 2016 Good Friday, the day Christians spend in quiet prayers and contemplations, a few US congressmen introduce a new piece of legislative art that was immediately heralded by their compatriots.

“WASHINGTON—Representative Eliot L. Engel (D-NY), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, and Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) today announced that they have introduced comprehensive legislation to address the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.  An additional bipartisan group of 14 members, including the bipartisan leadership of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus, joined Reps. Engel and Kinzinger to introduce the Stability and Democracy (STAND) for Ukraine Act (H.R. 5094), which clarifies the position of the United States on Russia’s illegal occupation of Crimea, tightens sanctions on Russia, and drives new innovations to provide support for Ukraine.”

STAND for Ukraine Act PDF

According, to April 29, 2016 Press Release by the House of representatives

STAND for Ukraine Act Tightens Sanctions Regime on Kremlin, Codifies Non-Recognition Policy on Russia’s Occupation of Crimea

Joining Reps. Engel and Kinzinger as cosponsors of the STAND for Ukraine Act are Representatives Sander Levin (D-MI), Mike Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Ralph Abraham (R-LA), Jim Costa (D-CA), Randy Weber (R-TX), Ted Deutch (D-FL), Mike Pompeo (R-KS), David Cicilline (D-RI), John Shimkus (R-IL), Bill Keating (D-MA), Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), Steve Cohen (D-TN), and Reid Ribble (R-WI).

The devil is always in the details, and what essentially is introduced by this bill is provisions for unrestricted sanctions on Russia, and the long list of punishment on those persons and entities who try to evade, knowingly or unknowingly, these unilateral US sanctions.

If enacted, this bill also will deal a serious blow to international arms trade. It calls for amendment of International Trafficking in Arms Regulations. It looks like its calling to block any and all arms deals with Russia for all NATO members, and also for all non-NATO countries. (The bill also has a classified annex.)

The only actually Ukraine related part of this bill is so called “Title III – Other Matters” Section 301: Consortium to support increased private investments in Ukraine.”

How?

You will really like this brilliant idea to bail out private American investors in Ukraine. They want to create an international consortium with other national governments to insure private investors from ANY losses.

In 2015, IMF stated that “No money from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which is injecting cash into the Ukrainian economy, should go toward repaying Ukraine’s debts to foreign creditors.” This was directed against repayment $3bln debt to Russian taxpayers, but also prevented Franklin Templeton and Soros from getting back money they invested into pillaging, destabilizing Ukraine and organizing the “revolution of dignity,”  a.k.a. fascist putsch in Ukraine. Ukraine doesn’t have any other money but those coming from IMF.

This STAND for Ukraine piece of legislative marvel is design to go around the IMF and to make sovereign governments and taxpayers to pay back private investors.

You will love this one: #4 page 19: “An international consortium would be an effective mechanism to spread the risk against loss among the broad group of governmental and private insurers.”  OPIC will preside over this ‘consortium” and it will ensure the private investors claims of losses due to “armed conflict, political violence, and expropriation in Ukraine.”  Looks like these senators know what’s coming. The resources of the members of consortium will be utilized to the “maximum extent possible.”

They are talking about sovereign countries resources that will be unitized to pay losses to the US based private investors, like banks and investment funds. Consider also that the Federal Reserve bank is a private institution, so any money this institution has spent in Ukraine, including the funding of the military campaign against Ukrainian population, and possible armed conflict of NATO with Russia on the territory of Ukraine will be also refunded under this provision.

It looks if NATO attacks Russia via Ukraine, this “consortium” of governments will pay for this campaign.

In the world history of liars, thieves, con-artists and swindlers, this bill should have its own chapter.

Action 302 is also interesting because it calls to prevent any sway of opinions in favor of Russia. It also calls for increase brainwashing of Russians living outside of Russia.

It’s so brilliant in its shameless and brazen deception. It’s a marvel.

STAND for Ukraine also is a deceiving title.

It’s a draft of a Charter for Insurance consortium directly with the US government and the Secretary of State assisted by OPIC.

The right title should be “STAND for the US, its industrial military complex, its “color revolution industry” and its banks, and STAND against Russia, common sense and common security ”

Who are the authors?

The following is a brief research I have done on those US elected government officials whose names are under the “comprehensive legislation to address the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.” It’s so called the Stability and Democracy (STAND) for Ukraine Act (H.R. 5094):

The top Democrat on the committee, Rep. Eliot Engel (N.Y.), added that those policies “are good but only up to a point. They don’t go far enough.” Engel also announced new legislation Wednesday that would “offer Ukraine greater assistance on a variety of fronts.”

 “Ukraine is not going to win a war against Russia, but it can impose a greater cost on Vladimir Putin’s aggression and slow Russia’s advances, and it has a chance to remain on its feet when all is said and done,” Engel said.

 “Ongoing Russian aggression threatens the security and stability of the entire region and undermines decades of American commitment to and investment in Europe that is whole, free and at peace. In fact, this is a threat to the whole international order,” he said.

“House Resolution 162, which calls on the president “to provide Ukraine with military assistance to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity,” allows President Obama to provide Ukraine with defensive weapons to defend against aggression from Russia.”

  • Freedom Index: Congressional Scorecard for Ralph Abraham was assigned as “BAD vote” because it violated the Constitution of the US

http://www.thenewamerican.com/freedomindex/profile.php?id=A000374

“The House adopted H. Res. 162 on March 23, 2015 by a vote of 348 to 48 (Roll Call 131). We have assigned pluses to the nays not only because foreign aid is unconstitutional but also because this bill would further interject the United States into a foreign conflict. Allowing the U.S. president to provide lethal arms to Ukraine in order to fight Russia is tantamount to waging a proxy war on Russia without the constitutionally required congressional declaration of war. The House, by giving such power to the president, is relinquishing one of its constitutional responsibilities.”

“Whoa,” said Sister Simone, impressed.

“Christianity is all about serving the poor,” Representative Ribble told her. “What is the church doing wrong that it had to come to the government to get so much funding?”

“We have a limitation in our capacity to do that,” said Sister Simone.

“Your capacity is the same as our capacity,” Representative Ribble argued.

These head-scratching moments aside, I found the entire frame of the hearing as laid out by Chairman Ryan to be seriously flawed. Ostensibly, it was to examine the most effective ways to fight poverty as we approach the fiftieth anniversary of the War on Poverty next year. “

The family of American Congressman Reid Ribble of Wisconsin has become yet another victim to the illegal practices of Reece’s Rainbow.

His son, Jared and daughter in law, Krystal, selected a child for adoption from a photograph.

The photograph originated with Reece’s Rainbow.

Russian law prohibits both the use of “photolisting” of children as well as the preidentification of children. The potential Ribble adoption was, consequently, based on an illegal foundation and therefore most likely doomed to fail.

Weber Issues Statement on Recent Development in the Ukraine

Apr 17, 2014

Press Release

Washington, D.C. –Currently, the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk has been taken over by pro-Russian militants. Jews in the city are now being told that they must “register” with the government. Congressman Randy Weber (R-Friendswood) made the following statement:

“The recent developments in Donetsk are disturbing and beyond reprehensible. The text of the leaflets demanding the Jewish community register their property and pay a fee or risk loss of citizenship, deportation and fines has strikingly similar tones of the Nazis when they occupied Ukraine during World War II. The fact that these leaflets were distributed to Jews as they were finishing celebrations of Passover, the highest holy day within Judaism, only further exacerbates the insult. This obvious display of hatred and intended persecution are in no way acceptable and will not be tolerated.”
