As an eyewitness to events here in Kiev, I want to share observations and comments with other people. The Orange Revolution is a historic event with great consequences not only for Ukraine but for freedom and democracy in Belarus and Russia.

The Counter Revolution is Underway

Make no mistake that Russia’s approach to the current situation is no less than the most visible act in the Russian Government backed counter revolution here in Ukraine. I will now dub this the “Black” Counter Revolution. Indeed, if this succeeds, the future will be dark here in the heart of Europe.

Questions to ask:

Will the West sit on their hands and let Ukraine fall backward into Black Hole of Authoritarianism and Gangster Capitalism?
Will the Ukrainian people join their long suffering brothers and sisters in Russia to live under an obscene perversion of Democracy?
Can the patriots of Ukraine rise to the occasion once again?
Will the West put gas before freedom? (Of course they will…but how completely?
What other dirty tricks are planned before the elections in March?

Stay tuned.
