"A little learning is a
dangerous thing"

"$1.8 billion of IMF bailout funds intended for Ukraine have mysteriously found their way to a Cyprus bank account controlled by notorious Ukrainian [Jewish] oligarch Igor Kolomoisky...the former governor of Dnipropetrovsk, [and] one of Ukraine's richest businessmen... At the center of Kolomoisky's wealth is PrivatBank, Ukraine's largest financial institution, which received 40 percent of the bailout money which had been earmarked for stabilizing the banking system...

"Basically, this was a transfer of $1.8 billion abroad, with the help of [offshore companies], fake contracts, the siphoning off of assets and violation of existing laws," explained journalist Lesya Ivanovna. In March, Kolomoisky was dismissed from his position as governor of Dnipropetrovsk after a power struggle with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko; the [alleged] fraud was carried out while he was governor of the region in east-central Ukraine [bordering the conflict zone]... It appears that Kolomoisky is unlikely to face justice, as he is currently living in exile [in Switzerland] -- he fled Ukraine earlier this year."

Igor Kolomoisky, sponsor of the fascist "Azov Battalion", is also a leader of the international Zionist movement. He is the founder of the European Jewish Parliament and donated the funds for construction of the palatial $100 million dollar Jewish Community Center in Dnipropetrovsk. The center is managed by the Chabad Lubavitch, an orthodox Jewish sect whose stated mission is to "conquer all the gentile nations" according to rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the revered leader of the sect in New York -- and son of the former Chief Rabbi of Dnipropetrovsk.

Someone had to pay for this largess; why not the "gentile nations" which fund the IMF? American taxpayers provide 18% of total IMF funding, which works out to about $325 million of the $1.8 billion allegedly skimmed off by Mr. Kolomoisky. It is unlikely that IMF Governor and Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, a Jewish CFR member, will press for a refund.

The IMF representative in Ukraine maintains close relations with Jewish oligarch Victor Pinchuk, financial supporter of the Clintons, whose bank also receives IMF bailout funds. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government is diverting IMF loans to pay for military aggression, and trying to avoid repaying a $3 billion loan from the Russians:

"Russia, unlike Ukraine’s private sector lenders, will not accept a 20 percent write-down on the $3 billion Eurobond due in December...[due in part to] President Poroshenko’s promise -- in direct violation of the IMF’s articles of agreement -- to use part of the IMF’s $17.5 billion loan to carry out Ukraine’s “anti-terrorist operation” against its own citizens [the ethnic Russians of eastern Ukraine]. Still worse, the IMF loan and the [proposed] debt restructuring...will do little to address either the oligarchical nature of the economy or widespread government corruption."

What about the "oligarchical nature" of the U.S. economy? The Nation, a "liberal" New York magazine whose owner/editor is Jewish CFR member Katrina vanden Heuvel*, is unlikely to explore that subject in detail. The Ukrainian oligarchs are merely a rough imitation of their New York cousins, and they are all members of the same club.

Billionaire Petro Poroshenko, former head of the National Bank, led the 2014 coup. Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk is chairman of the "Open Ukraine" Foundation sponsored by Chatham House (RIIA) and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), both of which are affiliates of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The long-time president of NED is Jewish CFR member Carl Gershman, and the current chairman of the CFR is Jewish banker Robert Rubin.

Billionaire Victor Pinchuk and his Pinchuk Foundation are partners with the Soros "Open Society" Institute, the Peterson Institute**, and the Clinton Global Initiative. Jewish billionaire George Soros is a former director of the CFR. Billionaire Pete Peterson is the former chairman of the CFR, and co-founder of Blackstone along with Jewish billionaire and fellow CFR member Steve Schwarzman. The Clintons (and Bushes) are mere servants of the oligarchy; paid actors on the public stage.

* William vanden Heuvel, Katrina's father and former U.N. ambassador, is also a CFR member. In the 1950s, he was a protoge of intelligence officer William Donovan, Roman Catholic Knight of Malta and founder of the OSS.
