Welcome to the peace initiative for Ukraine in which you can contibute by raising your awareness as well as your consciousness[+] and spirit to the modes[+] of neutrality[*], decency, respectfulness, wisdom[*], objectivity, mastery of the intellect, surrender (ego and mind to God’s will), and finally peace (inner then outer). To properly grasp everything, we recommend reading the articles of this peace initiative in the order that we[*] designed it, which is listed in the CONTENTS. So if you haven’t read the previous articles, we urge you to do it, please. With this article we continue “The Roots of the Crisis in Ukraine” segment of this peace initiative, where we previously discussed Russia’s Role and Ukraine’s Role
Apart from considering all the root causes of this war, to accept the provisions of this peace initiative and have a truce, it is worth considering trigger events as well because awareness of them will surely raise awareness of other things relevant to ending the war and bringing peace. Here we only list major trigger events but we will explain them in their contexts inside corresponding segments of this peace initiative.
Some historical trigger events or watershed moments or milestones were turning points in human history as they overturned a world order that had lasted for centuries. Often it was connected with the fall of Empires, such as the Roman, or Russian, or Austro-Hungarian empires. One might say that there is such a historic juncture in the war in Ukraine as we see a huge shift of power from Western hegemony or white supremacy to multipolar power with the BRICS rise, that is, with global East and South gaining momentum with the Russian military defeating NATO and ending NATO’s world domination. This is evident with de-dollarization, moral decay, and the general decline of the West as NATO countries’ economies deteriorate and families and (mental) health degenerate. The US proxy war[*] in Ukraine will definitely be one of the pivotal events in the decline and fall of the American era.
But in this section, we are going to focus only on minor trigger events that triggered other major events or changes. There were many of them, so let's start recognizing them for what they were, as many of them were false flag operations1 and as such wrongly perceived by the deceived general public.
Not to confuse trigger events with causes. The concept of a ‘trigger event’ is defined as a highly publicized, shocking incident that dramatically reveals a critical social problem to the public in a vivid way. A trigger event is often a planned provocation. It provokes widespread outrage and sends people into the streets. The triggers that morph into explosive revolts are often not accidental. Influencers concoct a trigger event to provoke the masses to act in a certain way. They consciously engineer events that trigger upheavals, ‘civil resistance’, extraordinary mobilizations, escalations, drawing new participants out of the woodwork, and such. This is often done in the form of a false flag operation[+].
Historians have the luxury of looking back after the fact of an uprising and identifying the structural forces and historical peculiarities that contributed to a successful effort, or that helped to sink an unsuccessful one. Activists on the ground, in contrast, never have the benefit of hindsight. In times of upheavals, it takes determined escalation on the part of social movements to keep the issue in the spotlight, compel greater participation and sacrifice, and repeatedly reinforce the sense of public urgency.
Trigger events are an essential part of the cycle of every social movement. They create vital windows in which activists can rally mass participation and sharply increase public support for a cause.
Prominent examples of trigger events include:
➡ the assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914[+] that triggered World War I. This might have not been planned to trigger a war, although some would argue that, nevertheless this and similar events do serve a purpose for war profiteers or power-hungry globalists to crack down their iron fist or to usher in their ‘great reset‘ and ‘New World Order‘ agenda[+].
➡ the 1955 arrest of Rosa Parksfor refusing to move to the back of a segregated busprompted a community-wide bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, with a 13-month mass protest led by Martin Luther King, Jr. that ended with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that racial segregation on public buses is unconstitutional.
➡ September 11 attacks[+] in 2001 triggered the so-called Global War on Terrorism (GWOT)[+] (some people call it the Global War of Terrorism as it was the US and its allies that terrorized millions of people) that lasted 20 years with almost a million people killed and at least 37 million people displaced, which accomplished nothing as terrorist groups continue to grow even more as a result of attacks on them and terrorist attacks keep on mostly due to American hostilities, regime changes[+], exploitations of natural resources of other countries, imposing their will on other nations, etc. Many conspiracy theories as well as evidential ones have been circulating on social media about the US government actually orchestrating those 9/11 attacks (at least two Saudi plane hijackers were CIA recruits[+]) to have an excuse to conduct all those insurgencies and so-called “contingency operations” across the globe to dispatch anyone who didn't obey them, which is backfiring on the US and UK big time in recent years with their decline and even collapse.
➡ the self-immolation of Tunisian fruit seller Muhammad Bouazizi set off the revolts of the Arab Spring in 2011.
However, not any hot-button issue serves as a trigger event, so the trigger-pullers have to come up with something extremely revolting to invoke results. There are countless unplanned instances of oil spills and school shootings, for example, that spark outrage but ultimately have little impact on political life. Likewise, there have been many other self-immolations that did not have the effect of Bouazizi’s.
Before Rosa Parks, there had been previous arrests on Jim Crow buses but civil rights groups consciously chose to make Parks’ arrest into a test case for segregation, in part because she was a committed activist herself.
While most likely none of the trigger events in the previous centuries have been premeditated, the American Central Intelligence has learned from them the power of certain events to trigger a desired outcome, which is why their operatives have started to engineer such events sometime in the last couple of decades and we recognize them being exercised in Ukraine since 2004.
Recent history shows American globalists pushing ‘manufactured chaos’ or escalation of a conflict to achieve their objectives. If all those trigger events should be taken as a history lesson or just a conspiracy theory, it is left to each of us to decide for ourselves. Nevertheless, we invite anyone willing to engage in logical questioning and reasoning to look for historical patterns and similarities because the nature of covert or undercover operations doesn't allow evidence to surface. However, the mere fact that the culprits of some of the trigger events we will list now have mysteriously never been found despite all the intel available is more than telling.
Orange Revolution in 2004
➡ allegations of electoral fraud[+]from 21 November 2004– to mobilize the masses to protest and demand the third round of voting because the US's favored candidate Yushchenko was losing to Yanukovych in the presidential election
➡ Yushchenko’spoisoning[*]– a false flag operation[+] by the CIA in September 2004 – intended to trigger the revolution so that Yushchenko’s rival presidential candidate would be blamed for the poisoning and therefore lose votes in the October 2004 presidential election. The unsolved mystery of the actual perpetrator(s) of his poisoning suggests a huge coverup involving the CIA. The US Department of Defense and CIA as the masterminds of the whole regime change effort had to come up with something along with allegations of electoral fraud that would galvanize the public to protest and distrust Yanukovych.
Maidan Revolution 18–23 February 2014
➡ riot police beating students on 30 November 2013 – the Euromaidan protest movement began on 21 November 2013 and would have ended on the 30th November if a group of protesters were not dispersed violently by Berkut riot police units, which enraged the public
➡ clashes between protesters and state forces in the capital Kyiv on 18–20 February, which saw the most severe violence in Ukraine
➡ snipers killing protesters[+][+] – a false flag operation[+] by Ukrainian ultranationalists or/and the CIA on 20 February 2014 – intended to provoke protesters to use or support violence to overthrow the government. The unsolved mystery of the actual perpetrator(s) due to lack of solid evidence suggests a huge coverup involving the CIA.
Russo-Ukrainian Conflict
➡ Washington (George W. Bush administration) triggered the conflict when during 2008 NATO Summit in Bucharest the US-led NATO promised Ukraine to accept its application to join NATO[»]
➡ the overthrow of their democratically elected president on 22 February 2014 was viewed by the Russian ethnic minority (President Yanukovych’s political base) as illegitimate, unconstitutional, and undemocratic, so they justifiably resisted it and after being harassed for not acknowledging the new Kyiv regime2, they called for a referendum to separate from Ukraine.
➡ ban on the Russian language – on 23 February 2014, the Ukrainian parliament proposed to revoke the language law[+][+][+] (that granted regional status to the Russian language) so as to prohibit the use of Russian language in courts, schools, and other government institutions. This triggered:
Crimeans (mostly Russophones3) called for a referendum and voted to secede from Ukraine and join Russia – Russia annexed Crimea
Donbas residents raised in protests of the new unelected regime that not only repressed and oppressed them but called them “terrorists”
➡ The new Kyiv regime’s threat to evict the Russian Black Sea Fleet from Crimea – Crimeans and Russians were faced with the horror prospect of NATO forces in Crimea, which was the home of the Russian Navy for centuries (since 1783). The prospect of having the Americans controlling the Black Sea and NATO’s offensive strike missiles in Crimea (threatening Russia's security) was worse than the prospect of Ukraine joining NATO.
➡ the Odesa massacre[+][+][+][»] on 2 May 2014 – 116[+] (officially 48) peaceful protesters of Russian ethnicity were brutally murdered by being burned alive in the Trade Union House by hooligans and neo-Nazis, and no one was prosecuted for that although the felons are visible in many recordings. This triggered:
Donbas4 residents called for a referendum and voted for independence from Ukraine – the ban on the Russian language caused them to protest but the Odesa massacre triggered the desire to secede from Ukraine
➡ the Kyiv regime announced an “anti-terrorism operation”[+] against the Donbas and dispatched neo-Nazi and other extremist militias to kill and terrorize the ethnic Russians – Moscow began assisting the embattled ethnic Russian rebels to defend themselves, a move that the Obama administration and the Western (NATO states) mainstream news media called “Russian aggression.”
Russian SMO in 2022
➡ 18-20 February 2022 at Munich Security Conference Zelensky announced[+][+] reacquiring nuclear weapons and US Vice President encouraged him to join NATO by praising his desire to do so[+]. This was the final straw for Russians on top of all other provocations, such as:
on 24 March 2021, Ukraine’s President Zelensky signed the National Security and Defense Council Decree no. 117/2021[+] to prepare and implement measures to ensure the de-occupation and reintegration of the Crimea peninsula, including military measures[+][+]
on 23 August 2021, Zelensky pledged[+][+] to return Crimea and subsequently gathered troops for an offensive
by early December 2021, Ukraine deployed 125.000 troops[+][+][+] at the borders of Donbas close to the Russian border, ready for a major attack against Russian ethnic minorities in Donbas – this intention was revealed in early December 2021 by Russian MoD[+] that made public the secret undisputable documents[+][+] from Ukrainian National Guard containing their original combat order for an attack on Donbas in March 2022 proving covert preparations by the Kyiv regime of an offensive operation, which Russia felt compelled to prevent by striking first – Russian Armed Forces have shattered these plans, said Putin.[+]
in February 2022 (before Russian SMO[+]), OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine reported[+]a massive spike in Ukrainians shooting at Russian ethnic minorities in Donbas, thus on 13 February 2022, OSCE had to withdraw from Donbas due to deteriorating security conditions as Ukraine was violating Minsk accords[+][+].
➡ Bucha massacre[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+] – a false flag operation[+] by Ukrainian ultranationalists, SBU5, and the MI6[»] – this event triggered Zelensky to cancel already signed draft[+][+] of the peace agreement as he was led to believe by Ukrainian ultra-nationalists and British intelligence that Russia did it as they didn't want them to accept a peace deal with Russia because they wanted to fight Russians to retake Crimea and to weaken Russia. We gave more details and evidence on that in the “Russia did it” segment[*]
➡ Zelensky refused to make a peace deal in Istanbul in April 2022 – he canceled the already signed draft[+][+][+][+][+][+] of the peace agreement
Thank you for reading this article and participating in this peace initiative by raising your awareness and, hopefully, your consciousness and spirit. To properly grasp everything, we[*]recommend reading the articles of this peace initiative for Ukraine in the proper order, which is listed in the Contents. So if you haven’t read the previous articles, we recommend that you do. When you are ready, please proceed to the next segment: Meeting The Demands For Ending The War
we refer to Kyiv as a regime[+] due to its oppressive and repressive policies, corruption, and foul treatment of its ethnic minorities, such as the ethnic Russians, violating their human rights, tyrannizing, and killing them since 2014.
Donbas[+] is a coal mining region that was part of eastern Ukraine from 1922-2022 (now part of Russia) consisting of two Republics - Donetsk and Luhansk - where most residents have been Russians for centuries. In 2022, after Bolsheviks defeated the Ukrainian nationalists, Lenin gave that part of former Russian Empire with mostly ethnic Russian residents to the Soviet Republic of Ukraine under condition that it remains part of the Soviet Union and under Moscow governance (Kyiv administration) but in 1991, Ukraine violated that agreement by breaking off from the Soviet Union and from Moscow, and since 2014, Ukrainians had been demolishing all Lenin's monuments, therefore they have no rights to claim the territories he conditionally granted them. Since Ukrainians hate Lenin and Stalin so much that they demonize them, then in the Russian view[+], it is only fair to give back all the land[ꚛ] that Lenin and Stalin allocated to Soviet Ukraine, without even asking the locals’ permission (the majority were Russians in Donbas).
