Pre-Maidan: Ukraine Deputy Warned That US Wanted to Provoke Civil War in Ukraine

This is an excerpt from an article by Ian Shilling

This amazing speech in Ukraine's Rada (Parliament) details how 300 people, under the direction of the US Embassy in Kiev, were to mobilize and manipulate social media in order to provoke protests that would lead to a coup to oust Yanukovych and then start a civil war.

This speech was made on 20th November 2013, i.e. the day before the sudden suspension of talks with the EU. So this was BEFORE the Maidan protests ever got going because everybody up to this point thought that Yanukovych was going to sign the EU association agreement.

The speech above specifies that 5 "TechCamps" had already been conducted by November. As The Guardian has previously reported, the US government utilizes propaganda and social media manipulation on an industrial scale.

March 2013

Training and mobilizing of  300 people started in March 2013 (or earlier) under the direct supervision of the US Embassy in Kiev. This is the US Embassy's report of one of the camps held at Microsoft's Ukraine headquarters on March 1st and details a number of areas and methods within social media that were to be utilized to spread pro EU and pro US propaganda. 

As the speech above says, this is how the pro-democracy protests were agitated and provoked in the past in places like Egypt, Tunisia and Libya to overthrow their governments. The same process was used to build support for Maidan - at the instigation of and with the active participation of the US government via the US Embassy in Kiev.

August 2013

Arriving in the Ukrainian capital on August 3, Pyatt almost immediately authorized a grant for an online television outlet called Hromadske.TV, which would prove essential to building the Euromaidan street demonstrations against Yanukovych. The grant was only $43,737, with an additional $4,796 by November 13. Just enough to buy the modest equipment the project needed, to broadcast the expected coming street protests.

Deputy Oleg Tsarov has the word

Honourable Colleagues
Honourable Vladimir Vasiljevitch

In my role as a representative of the Ukrainian people…
…activists of the public organisation "Volya" turned to me…
…providing clear evidence…
…that within our territory…
…with support and direct participation
…of the US Embassy in Kiev…
…the "TechCamp" project is realised…
…under which preparations are being made for a civil war in Ukraine.

The "TechCamp" project prepares specialists for information warfare…
…and the discrediting of state institutions using modern media…
…potential revolutionaries…
…for organising protests…
… and the toppling of the State Order.

The project is currently overseen and under the responsibility…
…of the US ambassador to Ukraine…
…Geoffrey R. Pyatt.

After the conversation with the organisation "Volya“…
… I have learned…
…that they succeeded to access Facilities in the project "TechCamp“… 
…disguising as a team of IT specialists.

To their surprise, briefings on peculiarities of modern media were held.

American instructors explained how social networks and Internet technologies…
…can be used for targeted manipulation of public opinion…
…as well as to activate protest potential…
…to provoke violent unrest on the territory of Ukraine…
…Radicalisation of the population and triggering of infighting.

American instructors show examples of successful use of social networks…
…used to organise protests
…in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.

"TechCamp" representatives currently hold conferences throughout Ukraine.

A total of five events have been held so far.

About 300 people were trained as operatives, which are now active throughout Ukraine.

The last conference "TechCamp" took place on 14 and 15 November 2013…
…in the Heart of Kiev on the territory of the US Embassy!

You tell me which country in the world would allow…
…a NGO to operate out of the ​ US Embassy?

This is disrespectful to the Ukrainian government, and against the Ukrainian People!

I appeal to the Constitutional Authorities of Ukraine with the following question:

Is it conceivable that representatives of the US Embassy…
…which organise the "TechCamp" Conferences…
…misuse their diplomatic mission?

–– Let him speak ––

Carry On

UN Resolution of 21 December 1965 regulates…
…inadmissibility of interference in the internal affairs of a state…
…to protect its independence and its sovereignty…
…in accordance with paragraphs one, two and five.

I ask you to consider this as an official beseech…
…to pursue an investigation of this case
Thank You!
