Lutsenko: Tymoshenko 'Had to Borrow From Oligarchs Yet She Would Hear Voters Only’


Whoever wrote that speech has a great sense of humor and balance.




Lutsenko: Dear friends, a major goal of the new leadership of United Fatherland is to learn to hear people, party members and independents. The invincible power of Yulia Volodymyrivna Tymoshenko was that she, like all the other politicians, had to borrow money from the oligarchs yet she would hear the voters only, and not her campaign contributors. We have to learn from this and bring that spirit back to Fatherland and to the opposition as a whole. [round of applause]
6:36-7:06

If Tymoshenko heard her voters so well, why didn’t they vote for her? And does the All-Hearing Crowdsourcer know you raid his closet?

Here comes the harsh part. Take your time to observe the VIP body language and that of the audience at large.



Lutsenko: Dear friends, I have friends among Fatherland’s leadership, it is you address: To be honest and able to talk about moral revolution and, by extension, political revolution, get rid of the turncoat generator within the party. [round of applause] Dear friends, we all, including yours truly, need to get rid of, discard, the practice of masquerade politics whereby it seems that it’s enough just to say “I’m not Yanukovych!” and, conceivably, support will be guaranteed. We should stop harboring Potemkin designs in politics. People see the falsehood and fiction behind these things and that’s why millions won’t take to the streets. Let’s be honest about it and start acting in new ways, like Tymoshenko did when Ukraine was winning. 
7:10-8:01  

When was the last time Tymoshenko acted in new ways?

Yanukovych Residence Separated From Ukraine in Mock Protest

You’ve got to draw the line somewhere. After all, it’s Border Troops’ Day!
 


 

Just make sure you don’t cross that line.



Beware of the war games in the area.

Sec. Kerry Calls Ukraine 'the Ukraine' (Soviet-Era Usage)

When will State get over Tymoshenko and get it right?



As if "Kyrzakhstan" wasn't enough...



Could you guys lead us by example? By releasing Bradley Manning maybe? Or, at the very least, by letting Pavlo Lazarenko go home? Home, sweet home. He would've been the opposition candidate in Ukraine's '99 presidential election...had you not jailed him, right?

Isn't that what Tymoshenko told you — loud and clear — in '03?

Ruling PoR MPs Pelted With Snowballs At Opposition Rally

What good is democracy without 360 degree feedback?




 





It takes balls to play snowballs with the state, considering how it can always play nightsticks with you.

Maybe that little opposition rally did get its point across after all?

While some not-so-opposition MPs sucked it up, Tymoshenko strongly opposes such non-violent snowball protests. In a country where MPs, officials and cops beat, mutilate and kill people on a regular basis, isn't it a bit too much to ask? 

Obviously, not for the Tymoshenko part of the establishment. Wait, wasn't it Tymoshenko's top brass and then-Interior Minister Lutsenko that defended — and even wanted to award MP Lozynsky? Until it became clear that, contrary to earlier reports, this guy — one of their guys had hunted and killed an innocent villager?

Maybe they all like democracy? But not if democracy doesn't like them back?

Is This US/EU Ukraine Policy in Motion?

Earth to Washington! Earth to Brussels!




No matter how much they oppose each other, no matter how much they pay their lobbyists, the truth is out there. Over-reliance on oligarchs and elites that lack grassroots support only takes you so far.

 

















Happy Women's Day!
