Crimea: The *Real* Story.

A few weeks ago I wrote a post in which I criticized the Western elites for their practice of using concepts like freedom and democracy as smokescreens to hide the true nature of their foreign campaigns of resource exploitation and financial marauding.  I also argued that the current 'crisis' in Ukraine provided a perfect example of this practice and claimed that anyone with an iota of critical awareness could see beneath the surface and understand the true nature of the events that were unfolding in Kiev. 

But I am no expert when it comes to geopolitics.  Thus, I'll leave explaining current events transpiring in Crimea and its recent referendum in the hands of an expert:
