The IMF (International Monetary Fund) announced on Thursday that a $14 to $18 billion “bailout” for Ukraine is contingent on Kiev’s imposition of stringent austerity measures. It is amazing that not even Obama would comply with such austerity. These people have no clue as to how to run a nation and their theories are more-likely-than-not […]

There are two converging trends emerging that are starting people to line up to take their money out of banks in Ukraine. In the South, it is the treat of war, and in the West, some fear that the IMF cannot be trusted and as such will expropriate their money as the IMF did in Cyprus. […]

Aeroflot and S7, the Russian airlines, have both changed their air routes to avoid Ukraine’s air space. This is a sign that they are clearly expecting tensions to rise and we may yet see a direct confrontation with Russia. Models still point to last weeks of March for some wild trading periods ahead.

  Ukraine is perhaps the most misunderstood country as well as the most overlooked. The history of Ukraine goes far back to the Greeks that founded most of the main cities in the South. Kerkinitis was perhaps the first Greek outpost and Chersonesos in the Crimea was a vibrant city. What is not taken into […]

About 1500 BC nomadic tribes appeared on the territory of Ukraine. One of them was the Cimmerians (9th-8th–century BC), which are mentioned in written sources. Scythians, Iranian-speaking people from Central Asia, in the 7th century BC pushed the Cimmerians from the Ukrainian steppes. Around the same period, the Greeks began to establish the first colonies […]

The care-taker leaders are the typical bureaucrats who will destroy Ukraine and everything the people have fought for. Oleksandr Vіktorovich Shlapak (Олександр Віталійович Шлапак) is the Ukrainian politician, bureaucrat, and the current Minister of Finance in Ukraine since February 27th. He offers NOTHING worthwhile for Ukraine and only thinks inside the BOX listening to economists with […]

  Putin visits Yanukovych and asks if it is infectious. The doctor says yes, and you have it too. The sad part, you can say the same about Obama.

This is a non-official video, a Belarusian rock band sings this song in Russian (it’s called Daybreakers, the Warriors of Good or Light), it has been combined with the events in Ukraine as this song illustrates these people are not fighting for USA/EU or Russia – but for personal freedom. What we see in Ukraine […]

  The propaganda never stops from both sides and to get at the truth just reading the press is next to impossible. The Russians keep touting this was a US plot, and the US keeps trying to wiggle into the situation but the GRASS-ROOTS people do not leave for they are pissed-off at government in […]

QUESTION: Martin, I would be curious about your thoughts of the following resolution below. Note that the goal of this resolution is neither to sue the government nor to repeal ObamaCare.  It is simply for Texas to “not participate” with ObamaCare. Of course, the President would say Texas doesn’t have the right to “opt out”, but what […]
