Showing Original Post only (View all)Ukraines grassy knoll (Graphic) evidence police weren't the only snipers. [View all]
Maidan. The Inconvenient Truth : shooting in the back http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=5dc_1393953567 (Graphic video warning)
This video proves that shots were fired on the advancing protest party from the rear and clearly points out bullet trajectories (from the Hotel Ukraine) as well as impact areas.
The video coincides with the release of a hacked EU minister phone call discussing the subject. Link to You Tube video of ministerial phone call and the Guardian UK story related to the subject.
Skip to 2 minute mark for start of conversation. (Also a graphic warning as video shows pictures of individuals suffering)

The Ministers give clear impressions of what they think of the protest leaders saying " All these guys have a dirty past", "They can't be trusted", "The trust level is absolutely low", "They send uninvited visitors in the night to beat parliament members" "They beat a parliament member in the streets". "They can't send a reform package yet due to the level of trust it will end badly". "They have no partner to partner with". They also discuss the doctor who treated the shooting victims in the video above saying she believes the same individuals were shooting police and protesters on both sides. Skip to 8:20 mark in the You Tube video to go straight to this quote. They also say the new coalition doesn't want to investigate who was doing the shooting.
The theory put forth is these individuals being shot were patsies murdered by their own side in order to blame Ukrainian authorities and gather the sentiment of the rest of the world to the protesters side. There is some video out there that shows police sniping in certain areas so of course they are not blameless either. However, the video above lends credence to the possibility those individuals were murdered in cold blood by their own side.
One thing of note is that the US media has chosen not to cover any of this subject. Neither the leaked phone calls or the possibility of the protest leaders murdering their own people for international support. DU'ers can watch the videos and decide if they think it's all BS. The concerns the EU ministers have should be taken into account however, when considering the fact the US media has chosen not to cover that aspect of the crisis. The US and EU are planning to give billions of dollars of US taxpayer money to these individuals. American have a right to know this info and our media should be covering it.
