| Donetsk leaflet: Jews must register or face deportation |
| 2014-04-17 |
| "Dear Ukraine citizens of Jewish nationality," the flyer began, "due to the fact that the leaders of the Jewish community of Ukraine supported Bendery Junta," a reference to Stepan Bandera, the leader of the Ukrainian nationalist movement which fought for Ukrainian independence at the end of World War II (emphasis added UP), "and oppose the pro-Slavic People's Republic of Donetsk, (the interim government) has decided that all citizens of Jewish descent, over 16 years of age and residing within the republic's territory are required to report to the Commissioner for Nationalities in the Donetsk Regional Administration building and register." This Vlad guy is seriously looking over his (Left?) shoulder while making his plans. Says something about his decision-making process and desired outcomes. |

| #10 US Ambassador has confirmed, as has Sec State I told you all this was coming. surely someone in the intelligence community must have seen this, and could have raised flags about this. After all, I saw it, and without access to classified sources and methods - just open sources, and my own experience, superannuated as I may be as an old spook from the cold war. The history is there if anyone cares to learn from it. - after all the purges of Jews in the Ukraine is where the word pogrom comes from. Putin wants to be Tsar, and I guess he doesn't mind Tsarist style pogroms. Given this is all about ethnicity and ethnic Russians, who cares if they put the boot on the neck of some Jews and take their stuff - its Russian territory, so ethnic Russians can take what they want, even if it isn't theirs -- right out of the 19th century. But I cannot claim any sense of satisfaction at being right, just sadness and anger, because our leadership did nothing, they surely had at least one person in the IC to warn them. ... and some of our citizens even cheered the Russian fascists on, despite warnings of the goons edging ever closer toward pogrom. This is especially true one of Putins cheerleader's here. SMH |

| #7 These idiots should be less worried about Jooos and more worried about the Religion of Pieces. Let's try something different this time - arm the Jews. |

| #6 From AoS: Update: I needn't have been as skeptical as I was. They're real. From USAToday: The leaflets bore the name of Denis Pushilin, who identified himself as chairman of “Donetsk’s temporary government,” and were distributed near the Donetsk synagogue and other areas, according to the report. Pushilin acknowledged the flyers were distributed by his organization but he disavowed their content, according to the web site Jews of Kiev, Ynet reported… So Pushilin says he doesn't agree with the order, but acknowledges his men are in fact ordering Jews to register. |

| #5 The reason it's even credible is this nasty habit of history and peoples repeating themselves. but our Russian fanboy won't believe it |

| #3 I'd be a little cautious on this one. Could be a 'false flag' effort. More investigation needed. |
