Foreign Bankers Rape Ukraine
William EngdahlActivist Post
If
it were not for the fact that the lives of some 45 million people are
at stake, Ukrainian national politics could be laughed off as a very
sick joke. Any pretenses that the October national elections would bring
a semblance of genuine democracy of the sort thousands of ordinary
Ukrainians demonstrated for on Maidan Square just one year ago vanished
with the announcement by Victoria Nuland’s darling Prime Minister, “Yat”
Yatsenyuk, of his new cabinet.
The
US-picked Ukraine President, billionaire oligarch Petro Poroshenko
called “snap” elections at the end of August for October 26. He did so
to make sure genuine opposition to his regime of murderers, gangsters
and in some cases outright Nazis would be able to push an unprepared
genuine opposition out of the Verkhovna Rada or Parliament. Because the
parliament had significant opposition parties to the US-engineered
February 22 coup d’etat, they had blocked many key pieces of legislation
that the Western vultures were demanding, from changing key land
ownership laws to privatization of precious state assets. By law, the
old parliament would have sat until its five year term ended in October,
2017. That was clearly too long for State Department neo-con Ukraine
puppet-mistress Victoria Nuland and her backers in Washington.
Now,
with a new parliament that is controlled by the Petro Poroshenko bloc
as largest party and the boyish-looking former Prime Minister Arseniy
Yatsenyuk, who is also new Prime Minister as head of the second largest
party, the way was clear to get on with the rape of Ukraine. What
shocked some is the blatant foreign takeover that followed, like a Wall
Street vulture fund raid on a distressed debtor country of the Third
World.
Yatsenyuk,
former finance minister in a previous criminal regime, and a suspected
senior member of the US-intelligence-friendly “Church of Scientology,”
has named three complete foreigners as cabinet ministers in key economic
posts. And in an extraordinary act, the three have been made instant
Ukrainian citizens by Poroshenko in a ridiculous ceremony. Ukraine is
looking more and more like the US-occupied Philippines after the
Spanish-American War of 1898 when General Arthur MacArthur, father of
the mentally-dis-ordered Douglas, was Washington’s dictator on the spot.
The
new Ukrainian Finance Minister, the one who will control the money and
decides where it goes, is one Natalia A. Jaresko. She speaks fluent
Ukrainian. Only problem—she is an American citizen, a US State
Department veteran who is also a US investment banker. Now, the
Ukrainian Constitution, prudently enough, stipulates that government
ministers be Ukrainian. How then does our sweet Natalia come in?
The
President of Ukraine, another Victoria Nuland favorite, the “Chocolate
King” corrupt oligarch billionaire, Petro Poroshenko, made her a
Ukrainian citizen in a bizarre ceremony the same day just hours before
the parliament declared her Finance Minister.
In
justifying his astonishing move, Poroshenko declared, “There are
absolutely extraordinary challenges facing Ukraine…All this requires
innovative solutions in the government…These decisions mean searching
for candidates for the new government not only in Ukraine but alsoabroad.”
Forget
your earlier silly schoolbook notions about how a democracy and a
nation function. This is the age of no nation state, of private capital
taking over the world for sake of profit. Looting über alles is the
motto. The nation of Ukraine is being put on the auction bloc to be
privatized anyway, so it makes sense that the auctioneers at the US
State Department head-hunt the ones to do the inside job of preparing
that auction wherever they find the willing executioners. And because
what the privatizers have planned, it is easier to believe a
non-Ukrainian would let the country be raped easier than a native
Ukrainian, even corrupt natives.
In
her acceptance speech Jaresko declared, “The new team aims to change
the country, to improve its transparency and to eliminate corruption.
The members of the team are ready to deal with the challenges Ukraine
faces today. This is a government of professionals and technocrats, and
we intend to work. I’ve been living in Ukraine for 22 years and until
this day I was the head of a large company that controlled three
investment funds,” she told Ukrainian television news service TSN.
What Jaresko did not say was that she had been sent to Ukraine 22 years before as a member of the US State Department.
Jaresko’s
qualifications for the job fit the requirements of a vulture fund
rapist banker. She was founder and CEO of Horizon Capital Associates,
LLC. Her Horizon Capital is “a private equity and venture capital firm
specializing in early stage, buyouts, growth capital, and expansion
opportunities. It prefers to invest in financial services, fast moving
consumer goods, retail, and industrial goods sectors. It typically
invests in mid-cap companies based in Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova,”
according to Business Week. They were founded in 1995 and have offices
in Kiev. Jaresko is also at the same time CEO of a private equity fund WNISEF.
WNISEF
or Western NIS Enterprise Fund is a $150 million private equity fund,
active in Ukraine and Moldova investing in small and medium-sized
companies. Since its inception, “WNISEF has invested approximately $168
million in 118 companies in the region in a range of industries with a
concentration on fast moving consumer goods, construction materials,
packaging, retail, and financial services. WNISEF is managed by Horizon
Capital Associates, LLC. WNISEF was established by the US Congress and
funded by the US government via US Agency for International Development (USAID).”
Before
she founded Horizon and WNISEF, the Harvard-trained Jaresko worked for
the US State Department in the IMF-steered looting of the country that
began just after the US-inspired collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
From 1992-1995 she was Chief of the Economic Section of the US Embassy
in Kiev. When US-backed Viktor Yushchenko was installed via Washington’s
“Orange Revolution” as President in 2004, Jaresko served on his Foreign Investors Advisory Council.
US State Department deputy spokeswoman, former CIA spokeswoman Marie Harf has already denied Washington had any hand in her appointment. Of course she would never lie.
Another foreign banker as Economy Minister
Apparently
not satisfied that only one investment banker as Finance Minister would
suffice, Nuland’s Washington friends have installed Aivaras
Abromavicius, a Lithuanian investment banker, to be Economy Minister.
According to the official US Government propaganda site, Radio Free
Europe—the old CIA Cold War propaganda news service still exists, with
its old name as kind of a sick joke—Abromavicius, born in Vilnius,
Lithuania, has worked in Kyiv since 2008 as partner and fund manager at
the East Capital asset management group. East Capital reportedly has
invested almost $100 million in 2012 in Ukrainian projects. It would be
interesting to know whose money. Abromavicius describes himself as a
Ukrainian patriot (sic!), and has pledged “radical measures.”
East
Capital is a Sweden-based “frontier markets” fund active in 25 emerging
market countries. The founder of Abromavicius’ East Capital is Peter
Elam Håkansson according to their website. Before that Håkansson held
leading positions with the Swedish Wallenberg family’s Enskilda
Securities.
And a Georgian Health Minister
Rounding
out the bizarre new Cabinet of Yatsenyuk is Alexander Kvitashvili, a
Georgian. Kvitashvili was health minister in Georgia between 2008 and
2010, under then-President Mikheil Saakashvili, like Yushchenko, another
US-installed corrupt puppet President from the US-financed Rose
Revolution of 2003. Kvitashvili studied and worked in the United States
before becoming Georgia’s health minister.
According
to Radio Free Europe, “Yatsenyuk has tasked Kvitashvili with
introducing sweeping reforms to tackle rampant corruption among health
authorities.” However, the designated corruption-fighter has one
handicap: he does not speak the Ukrainian language. That doesn’t matter
apparently, as he has stated that he has a “deep respect for Ukraine and its people.” More than that, a corruption-fighting health minister in Ukraine these days apparently doesn’t need.
Rape
of an entire country, just as rape of a small child, is murder. It is a
form of murder of the soul and ultimately of the child. Forty five
million Ukrainians do not deserve such treatment any more than an
innocent four-year-old child does.
