Pierre Omidyar co-funded Ukraine revolution groups with US government, documents show By Mark Ames
Just hours after last weekends ouster of Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych, one of Pierre Omidyars newest hires at national security blog The Intercept, was already digging for the truth.
Marcy Wheeler, who is the new sites senior policy analyst, speculated that the Ukraine revolution was likely a coup engineered by deep forces on behalf of Pax Americana:
Theres quite a bit of evidence of coup-ness. Q is how many levels deep interference from both sides is.
These are serious claims. So serious that I decided to investigate them. And what I found was shocking.
Wheeler is partly correct. Pando has confirmed that the American government in the form of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) played a major role in funding opposition groups prior to the revolution. Moreover, a large percentage of the rest of the funding to those same groups came from a US billionaire who has previously worked closely with US government agencies to further his own business interests. This was by no means a US-backed coup, but clear evidence shows that US investment was a force multiplier for many of the groups involved in overthrowing Yanukovych.
But thats not the shocking part.
Whats shocking is the name of the billionaire who co-invested with the US government (or as Wheeler put it: the dark deep force acting on behalf of Pax Americana).
Step out of the shadows
. Wheelers boss, Pierre Omidyar.
