That is what American Churches are hearing about Bandera and the information right wing political activists are acting on. This is the Lviv Day Parade from 2011. Pictured marching are the surviving Waffen Galician SS. The photo to the right was Lviv Day 2014.

Both photos represent heroes to the government in Kiev and Barack Obama's administration. Kiev is moving to outlaw all veterans holidays and parades that celebrate victory over Nazi Germany and the end to Nazi occupation in Ukraine. Instead they want to replace them with parades like what is shown in the picture to the left with UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army|OUN| Bandera) as the heroes of WW2.

Victoria Nulands Heroes

During Maidan when Crimea was starting to put up blockades, a group of people- 5 busloads went to an anti- Maidan protest in Kiev. On the way back the buses were stopped by Pravy Sektor. People were shot. People were beaten. Molotov cocktails were thrown directly on people to make an example of them.

People in this image and video are burning to death as a result of Pravy Sektors attack on the buses during the Maidan protests. Consequently this one event that went unreported in the west was one of the larger factors in play during the Crimea referendum. The buses were destroyed and survivors were left to fend for themselves; burnt, shot, broken bones including one woman with smashed vertebrae. They helped each other along for miles until they were rescued.


John McCain's Heroes

The $5 Billion that Victoria Nuland spoke about was just the tip of the iceberg. During the last 20 years John McCain through the International Republican Institute (IRI) ,the NDI (National Democratic Institute for International Affairs) , and NED have been running schools through out eastern Europe. These foundations budgets are funded almost entirely by tax dollars. If you factor that over 20 years and figure in the NGO support for local groups development- $5 Billion starts to look like a small figure.


The IRI alone ran on average 131 schools per year in neighboring Poland for politicians and the radical activists that became Maidan and Pravy Sektor.


The paramilitary training helped to develop the conditions and the leadership of Maidan, the current government, and what is now the National Guard, Military, and Pravy Sektor.

After losing the election with his more moderate running mate to Barrack Obama, John McCain figured out he actually didn't need to get elected to run a successful and parallel foreign policy that the US government would need to work with. The IRI brags about causing 5 coups to happen over the years.
