The definition of the modern “western democracy” in Ukraine is increasingly showcased as the goal for modern totalitarian government.
The inflection point away from representative democracy was first evident in the way COVID-19 was leveraged by “western” governments in the U.S, Canada, Australia and the European Union. Totalitarian minded leaders within those democracies, including governors in the United States, began operating without any elected representative feedback. Everything shifted from legislative representation to a system of dictatorial fiats with no opposition allowed in the arbitrary rules and regulations.
From forced lockdowns and arbitrary determinations of “essential workers,” various western government leaders were drunk on their new power. Those who were already predisposed to the benefits of communism (aka Justin Trudeau) and various shades therein, dropped all pretense of believing there were limits to their power and began dispatching opposition views.
It did not take long before we saw things escalate into lockdowns, travel bans, forced business closures, quarantine camps and ultimately forced vaccinations and checkpoints for transit. Collectively, none of these efforts ever went before a representative body for debate and consent; they were done through brute force and power of a top-down centralized authoritarian government. It did not seem as if most people realized how ‘western democracy’ changed overnight through the use of the pandemic.
What we see taking place in Ukraine is an outcropping of this newly defined ‘western democracy.’ Using a declaration of emergency power, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has now banned all opposition voices, taken control of broadcast media and now today banned the second largest political party in Ukraine. [Radio Free Europe Link]
Ukraine’s Opposition Platform For Life (OPPL) was the second largest political force in the Ukraine Parliament. As of today, the party is officially banned by a Ukrainian court at the request of the Zelenskyy Ministry of Justice. All assets, funds and property belonging to OPPL have been seized and transferred to the state.
“The court satisfied the claims of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine: the activities of the Political party Opposition Platform – For Life were banned; the funds and other assets of the party, its regional, city, district organizations, primary organizations and other structural entities were transferred to the ownership of the state,” the statement reads.
As Ukrainian News Agency reported, the Cabinet of Ministers proposes to the Verkhovna Rada that the ban on the party be the basis for depriving the mandate of members of local councils. (link)
More from Reuters – KYIV (Reuters) – A Ukrainian court has banned a pro-Russian party led by a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the justice ministry said on Monday. It said the court in the western city of Lviv had decided to transfer to the state all property, funds and other assets held by the “Opposition Platform – For Life” party led by Viktor Medvedchuk, a wealthy businessman accused of treason.

WEF picks and installs their front people well.
I think this will be used to end Zelenskyy
The link is March 21, 2022. It is very well explained.
“…One year ago, for example, the government sanctioned Viktor Medvedchuk, a personal friend of Putin, soon after polls started to show that his party may have more public support than Zelenskyy’s “People’s Servant” party and could overtake him in a future election.
“At the time, the sanctions against Medvedchuk and his TV stations were also endorsed by the US Embassy in Ukraine. Several analysts have since speculated that those sanctions may have been among the factors that led Putin to begin preparations for the war, by convincing him that Russia-friendly politicians would never be allowed to win an election in Ukraine….”

If the Big Z and his right hand man vote for a totalitarian state then we have “muh democracy”.
Democracy dies in the Ukraine. And Lithuania fans the winds of war. God please give Putin the wisdom not to fall into the trap.
Nah, he’s too smart for that. NATO will bang their stupid war drums and Russia will ignore them. Putin will go horseback riding and the Bidens will go play with their little bicycles.
He may not have a choice. Once he thinks the line has been crossed he will strike. Ditto for the Chinese. They will probably NEVER sit down with the West again unless leadership is 180 degree turn. China didn’t like Trump but I guarantee they respected him. Both Russia & China hate the Left and Neocons and with damn good reason. I didn’t mention FJB because he’s irrelevant. It’s the Globalist UniPolar rule of the world and their desire to be in total control. It’s not Putin it’s us and we should probably be contacting our leadership (Congress) and even Govs perhaps. I think we are going to have to stop this at some point.
Useful idiots. There is also a post-usefulness disposal phase, q.v. Hue, 1968.
He is surrounded by dangerous people.
Methinks he will not get to enjoy his ill-bestowed gains.
China is in bed with our gov and corporations. The left is too, as such, china is perfectly at home with Biden. Their goals are the same.
Obviously, Ms. Gonna Graham and The Songbird couldn’t make the photo op.
The end of Ukraibe nears as the RF continues to grind their forces on the eastern front. Love how the RF took out 50 UAF generals and other officers a couple of days ago with precision missile strikes. The EU is also starting to show cracks of disunity.
I saw one video where the soldiers were talking about the rampant drug use by the upper echelon of the Ukrainian military.
I thought….that explains a lot!

NATO Warns of Long War in Ukraine – Says West Must Continue to Support Despite Consequences
Boy Zelensky is little. Typical entertainer. They even angled the shot. Probably on lifts too.
So they try and tell us Azov Nazis are just a small group as their president does exactly what Hitler did.
the rino traitors, backstabbers, inc.
Corynn the gun grabber there too. Red Flag the “Insurrectionists”! Bet nobody sees that coming.
Who says they are the largest opposition party…NOW? Maybe before the war but do you seriously think a pro Russian, pro Putin party is still that powerful…I seriously doubt it unless you’re doing all your polling in the Donbass and Luhansk or even mother Russia. You can BMC about democracy this and that but people are being slaughtered in this invasion and if a bunch of Quislings are shut out of the process, cry me a river.
“What we see taking place in Ukraine is an outcropping of this newly defined ‘western democracy.’”
When the American left claims that democracy is being threatened, the democracy they mean is this renamed totalitarianism that they want to install and preserve. The left is built on redefining language and thus reality.
Wow. The little grifter dictator is going whole hog.
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/ukraine-ban-russian-books-music-084227128.html
Cool that they have an opposition party. That would do wonders for the US if we had one too.
Of course he did, nazi’s plan of action.
Democrats practicing to implement here. Began with suppression of dissenting opinions, owning msm to ensure approved content, cancel all free speech, spread propaganda and fear porn far and wide, control food and food sources, money…
We’re well on our way.
That’s kind of what already happened over here except the two parties merged.
Putin needs to end this war once and for all instead of playing games with Ukraine. The longer it drags out the closer the Democrats get to starting a real war!
Hot-blooded media screed notwithstanding, Putin & Co. may be in the dessert phase of their intended operation.
I’ve watched the media lie about everything for the last 10 strong years, before that Iran contra, et al
But never have I been so awake as with this Ukrainian nonsense. It’s a total rouse, especially when the Hunter laptop content is known – I’ve read/and grossly watched as much as I can get my hands on and Ukraine is f’ckery. Any politician supporting Ukraine is dirty, which means 90% of our govt us dirty. That’s where I am.
Would say 40% are dirty and 50% are lazy & stupid.
Still, that leaves only 10% bright, honest and diligent.
G_d help us, please.
one of the two main complaints I have w PDJT’s campaign promises and POTUS actions…..he said the illegals had to go HOME and come back legally…..after being elected he softened his stance there and for the DACA ‘Kids”
Once he got into the White House he found other dragons breathing down his neck. All he could do was squeeze the borders shut as much as possible despite the Dems & RINOs opposition.
His daughter did that!
Someone sold the “humanitarian” part of the invasion to her. She didn’t understand actual humanitarian actions don’t involve invasions, or did she.
Trumps wife called her a snake.
I’ve said all along that Zelinsky is a punk. He really is worse than Putin.
Anyone think we’ll see all the virtue signaling Ukraine flags disappear? Me neither.
The water is getting warmer.
Are you kidding? The democrats would do this, too, and probably will, when the time is right.
But what happened to the everyday Ukrainian man/Actor who was for all of Ukraine ?
This could quickly go into WWIII…President Trump has been making noises and sending warnings. I have no doubt that he knows so much more than anyone can imagine.
I do not believe for a Nano-second that he is not speaking with other world leaders; he’s been friends with many of them for years. Do you NOT believe that other world leaders know that the fraud occupying the white house was installed and that was THE INSURRECTION?
Val, Samantha, Obama and the whole damn gang are playing a sketchy war game and China’s involved in this regime also.
This is bad all the way around.
This is the kind of Western Democracy Biden and the Democrats want. You can bet the Two Macs would write a strongly worded letter of protest to the White House if this were to happen here.
I sincerely hope, by now, that “Western people” will finally begin to see through the charade. That it will finally occur to them that, in every single (staged …) photograph of “heads of state,” exactly one person is wearing “camo.” That exactly one of them is “startlingly different from the rest.”
I sincerely hope that they will finally recognize “a show made for TeeVee.”
H-m-m, sounds familiar.
Prior to the begining of the Great Proxy War, and the crowning of Ukraine as a beautiful democracy, Ukraine was known as the most corrupt country in Europe. Leftist journalists wrote articles about it.
Watching this transition from corrupt to sainted has been enlightening to say the least. The FB cover photos were my favorite.
“Ukraine was known as the most corrupt country in Europe. ”
Correct.
An absolutely fabulous reason for Russia to invade them.
😉
Via election fraud and MSM propaganda the same is happening here.
Horrifying. But why are they all white?
Got this from a friend who is an emotional counselor…
This felt good to read 😊 👏
An opinion piece from a vaccinated Australian writer: 👇
“If Covid was a battlefield it would still be warm with the bodies of the unvaccinated.
Thankfully the mandates are letting up and both sides of the war stumble back to the new normal.
The unvaccinated are the heroes of the last two years as they allowed us all to have a control group in the great experiment and highlight the shortcoming of the Covid vaccines.
The unvaccinated carry many battle scars and injuries as they are the brave people we tried to mentally break, yet no one wants to talk about what we did to them and what they forced “The Science“ to unveil.
We knew that the waning immunity of the fully vaccinated had the same risk profile as others within society as the minority of the unvaccinated,
yet we marked the unvaccinated for special persecution.
You see we said they had not “done the right thing for the greater good” by handing their bodies and medical autonomy over to the State.
Many of the so-called health experts and political leaders in Australia admitted the goal was to make life almost unliveable for the unvaccinated,
which was multiplied many times by the collective mob, with the fight taken into workplaces, friendships, and family gatherings.
Today the hard truth is none of it was justified as we took a quick slide from righteousness to absolute cruelty.
We might lay the blame on our leaders and health experts for the push but each individual within society must be held accountable for stepping into the well-laid-out trap.
We did this despite knowing full well that principled opposition is priceless when it comes to what goes inside our bodies and we let ourselves be tricked into believing that going into another ineffective lockdown would be the fault of the unvaccinated and not the fault of the toxic policy of ineffective vaccines and deadly lockdowns.
We took pleasure in scapegoating the unvaccinated because after months of engineered lockdowns by political leaders blinded by power, having someone to blame and to burn at the stake felt good.
We believed we had logic, love, and truth on our side so it was easy to wish death upon the unvaccinated which is ironic because most of the people dying are the vaccinated which is conveniently and quietly being covered up.
Those of us who ridiculed and mocked the non-compliant did it because we were embarrassed by their courage and principles and didn’t think the unvaccinated would make it through unbroken and we turned the holdouts into punching bags.
Lambie, Carr, Chant, Andrews, McGowan, Gunner, and the other cast of hundreds in prominent roles need to be held to account for vilifying the unvaccinated in public and fueling and encouraging angry social media mobs.
The mobs, the mask Nazis, and the vaccine disciples have been embarrassed by “betting against” the unvaccinated because mandates only had the power we gave them.
It was not compliance that ended domination by Big Pharma Companies, Bill Gates and his many organizations, and the World Economic Forum…
It was THANKS to the people we tried to embarrass, ridicule, mock and tear down.
We should all try and find some inner gratitude for the unvaccinated as we took the bait by hating them because their perseverance and courage bought us the time to see we were wrong.
So if mandates ever return for Covid or any other disease or virus, hopefully, more of us will be awake and see the rising authoritarianism that has no concern for our well-being and is more about power and control.
The War on the Unvaccinated was lost and we should all be very thankful for that.
“The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates” is so logical and reasonable – while I am reading it, I think our Founding Fathers must have been exposed to and knew about the history of the “Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates” re Magdeburg in Germany, for example – our Founding Fathers set up “lesser magistrates” all up and down the line within our beautiful republic that they bestowed upon us –
through this harrowing ordeal of the “Pandemic” – many examples abound of where we can plainly see where there are those who failed the test of all time – who did not act to protect the people within their sphere but instead were part of this – but there are so many others who came out shining and are STILL trudging away – Dr. Mary Talley Bowden (whom Stillwater has in his prayer list for us ever y night) – people like that who have STOOD BETWEEN those who would do harm and those who would be harmed.
Yes, all of our “western” governments, their leaders who fell in with the oppression, with doing harm when they should have been a bulwark against the UN, against China purveying their Wuhan/SARS concoction –
but there are those of us each in our own realms who are the “lesser magistrates” to protect others within our, what do they call that in the military, “Area of Operation”?
Where I grew up (in the Pasadena area), we had the beautiful Huntington Library and Gardens where among other treasures is a Gutenberg Bible -I always thought it was so awesome, what an impact that had, the concept of moveable type.
now, if Bill Gates, WEF and others would have been around back then, they would have tried to shut THAT down and keep it for themselves.
I meant to say AOR – Area of Responsibility
Watch Patrick Lancaster YouTube. Especially from the last two days.
Ukraine Nazis are shelling civilian residential areas.
Listen to the people there.
Please.
Our politicians are condoning this?
And by our silence…we are condoning this…
The people there…I see an increase of blaming Zelensky..and America.
Right now—I am ashamed. So very ashamed of my country.
I am not near ashamed as I am pissed at the politicians and libtards who condone as well as support this tragedy.
The last video from a day ago when he was at apartment complex that was under fire.
Most were older men and women….60’s and up. Young women with children.
The Ukrainian Nazis can’t fight like real men and battle an Army…so they shell old people, women and children.
They shelled a beautiful church couple of days ago…and a maternity hospital. And a downtown area.
And my taxpayer dollars are paying for this?
Again, shameful and disgusting.
I see someone with a Ukraine flag—-disgusting Nazi. I take it to the source. Either disgusting Nazi…or useful idiot.
Funny..I saw a Ukraine flag sticker the other day on a car.. the car also had one other sticker….a vote for Bernie. That was definitely a useful idiot.
America was attacked by an enemy within. Democrats (Libtards) though the majority “Useful Idiots” are the real soldiers of danger.
Don’t forget the Neocons. Both they and the Left answer to Davos.
Abandon our military equipment in Afghanistan, give the rest of our inventory to Ukraine dictator, cut off our oil supplies, orientate the military and government to social issues, inflate the currency…. what is left for an enemy to do?
So nice to know that RINO hearts bleed for a corrupt, dysfunctional Ukraine. Not so much for their own country though.
“President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has now banned all opposition voices, taken control of broadcast media and now today banned the second largest political party in Ukraine.”
Good thing we have had billions stolen from us and given to these clowns in the name of spreading “democracy”.
What? You can’t do that?!
What if Zelenskyy is secretly working for the Russians?
Our leadership is rotted at its core.
Many in Ukraine would now understand how wrong this all is. We here are complacent, but dead soldiers in your family removes complacency. The globalists have to squelch the common sense of these people, to remain in power.
Russia is going to fulfill their strategic goals, and the only question for Ukrainian families is how many of their family/soldiers will be dead before then.
Smart people will choose less dead, so the globalists have to squelch them. Very sad.
Quick send another 80 billion to the Zelensky scam and this time 20% to the big guy.
Oliver Stone has two docs out about Ukraine. The first, released in 2014, is “Ukraine On Fire”. It’s about the Maidan revolution. The second, released in 2019, is “Revealing Ukraine”. That one features Viktor Medvedchuk & his wife. It is, as its title suggests, quite revealing. Well worth watching both but most especially the 2019 release.
Medvedchuk was arrested & imprisoned a couple of months ago, at about the same time the media was seized by the staunch defender of Democracy, Zelensky. (sarc)
Our involvement in Ukraine through the auspices of NATO is more dangerous than we realize.
There’s stuff going on with Lithuania at the border of Russia blocking movement of goods into Kalingrad. This is, of course, another NATO move pushing the US closer to global war.
Zelensky is not our ally, & Ukraine hasn’t been a Democracy for quite some time (if ever). America needs to become aware of all the attacks being made on us, our economy, our culture, & our way of life. It’s worse than we think, sad to say.
Agreed!

Z is a good little fascist. I suspect the order came from the Soros cartel.
The “Democratic Republic’s Dictator” seems like an oxymoron.
Thick as thieves…
The little commie has the eyes of death….
This all ends badly for Ukraine once the bio-weapon lab leaks occur and the powers together reign down thermonuclear missiles and “All Lament” required to save all humanity.
Back in March I posted ‘Why are we idolizing Zelensky and Ukraine’ in my blog: Leon’s: The World is Upside Down. To date it has received over 50,000 views. At that time, almost everyone both Left and Right, Democrat and Republican, Liberal and Conservatives, Gentile and Jew were willing to start WWIII over the war there. They saw Zelensky as a (Jewish) Hero and Ukraine as a wonderful vibrant democracy. This could not be farther than the truth. Thankfully now, some people are coming around. Remember this: When the mainstream pushes a narrative, think the opposite.
Wait – I thought George Washington Zelensky was fighting for Democracy???
That is a photo of part of the scumbags that re in the money pipeline from US Taxpayers. Billions have been sent and distributed. Now Garland is over there to make sure the money keeps flowing. Piglosi and the others have all been there dooing the same.
I can bet that he will hunt down all the nazis in Ukraine. Unlike us in the West who have short memories, the Russians do not. They didn’t forget the millions of Russians lost in WWII. Right after that war and for at least a decade or so later, the KGB went after Nazis all over the world and killed them. I’m no fan of Putin or Russia but I believe that G-d is using them to avenge what the Nazis have done. I said all this in my blog back in March: https://leonupsidedown.blogspot.com/2022/03/why-are-so-many-idolizing-zelensky-and.html
