The Ukraine Mess Is Animal Farm in Reverse: Starring Blackrock and Other Pigs By Phil Butler!

Recently, the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, said that the European Union should double its assistance to Ukraine. She went on to say the EU should create a support fund of 50 billion euros by the end of the year and that everything should be done to ensure victory on the battlefield for the Ukrainians.

The European Union has created a "support package" for Ukraine for 2023 of up to 18 billion. This money, however, is not in the form of gifts, grants, or to create an emergency war chest. These billions are a loan under an EU macro-financial assistance program dubbed the MFA+ Instrument. In the fine print, EU member states are guaranteeing these loans as well as paying the interest for the Ukrainians. The move is extraordinary given that Ukraine is not an EU member and that, even before the current conflict, was one of the most corrupt governments on Earth. This begs the question, "Why?"

The EU is issuing special bonds to be sold to investors for this purpose at a time when many people in the European Union go without proper healthcare, services, and even employment. The European Union, EU Member States, and European financial institutions have already dispersed some 49 billion to President Zelenskys regime. This figure, added to the $76.8 billion already funneled to Ukraine, dwarfs any assistance given to any other country in the world. This very conservative report from the Council of Foreign Relations shows the United States alone has shoveled more into Zelenskys coffers than Afghanistan, Israel, Jordan, Ethiopia, and Iraq combined in 2020.

In all, some 47 countries have given money and arms to Ukraine. As of now, EU Institutions (?) handed Zelensky over 30 billion. The United Kingdom has forked over about 10 billion as their pensioners worry about what is for dinner next. Germany has given somewhere around 8 billion, and Japan almost 7 billion. The Netherlands, Canada, and Poland have pitched in about 5 billion each, and the list of others about 14 billion. The numbers, as you would expect, do not all add up. A United States News & World Reports story from earlier this year claimed total aid to Zelenskys country had exceeded 150 billion as of January of this year. Again, why?

The answer, this time, is really simple. BlackRock, and the new investment initiative to rebuild Ukraine (whatever is left of it). You already knew this, right? Zelensky and BlackRocks BlackRock CEO Larry Fink met late last year, and in November, the Ukrainian Ministry of the Economy (MoE) and BlackRock Financial Markets Advisory (FMA) signed a memorandum to structure Ukraines reconstruction funds (PDF). Also, in on the moneymaking schemes in war-torn Ukraine are Nestlé, International Finance Corporation, the private investment arm of the World Bank, Australias Tattarang Group,

Zelensky has called the rebuilding of his country, once it has been used up as a proxy NATO against Russia, "the greatest opportunity in Europe since World War Two." Earlier this year, Fink told Barrons and other financial magazines that Western investors will be "flooding" Ukraine post-war and the country could become "a beacon to the rest of the world of the power of capitalism". Also, JPMorgan Chase is joining BlackRock to help Ukraine set up a reconstruction bank to steer public seed capital.

This American Conservative report says, "BlackRock Plots to Buy Ukraine," in a recent editorial. Author Bradley Devlin outlines the Ukraine case, while also revealing how Fink and BlackRock are transforming America into a nation of renters by artificially elevating the prices of normal houses. If ever a man were appropriately named, Fink is that man.

"Why?" Is there any doubt about why some poor untrained bartender from Kyiv is in a foxhole being bombarded by Russian artillery? Does not all the misleading media, inflated Ukraine military gains, and Joe Bidens cock of the walk attitude toward a peace deal make more sense now??

And Ursula, the lady I fondly refer to as Frau von der Clucky for her chicken-like pecking and strutting about while millions either die or are in harms way because of all the Western world barnyard antics right out of Orwells Animal Farm. While someones Dad takes a bullet or shrapnel in Donetsk, our leaders keep crowing, snorting, braying, and hog-wallering in their capitalistic farm dream.

Why?? Greed, that is why!!
