Leaked Phone Call: Kiev Killers Hired by Maidan Leaders

The snipers who shot and killed protesters and police in Kiev were hired by the riot leaders, according to a leaked phone conversation between the EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton and Estonian foreign affairs minister Urmas Paet. The riot leaders themselves have been working with the U.S. and EU, as the conversation between Jewish Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to the Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt, make clear.

The video has been squelched by You Tube, which, when the user clicks onto the site to view the video, finds himself on a page which will not allow viewing unless he signs into YouTube "to confirm your age." Once he manages to do that, he still doesn't get to see the video. More questions are asked: "Help us keep your account secure. Just verify your mobile phone number, and we'll let you know if we notice unusual activity in your account," with more barriers to come.

YouTube, owned by Google, with this kind of barriers in place, appears to have cut down significantly the number of people who hear this highly important telephone conversation. Nevertheless, it has over 900,000 views, which doesn't count views on non-YouTube sites, such as Hawaii Political Info.
