This is a KEY test of anyone's credibility. -- The snipers are a well known standard tactic that have been used in numerous US-NRE sponsored "Color Revolutions" and "Arab Spring" coup d'état and putsch operations.  Random sniper activity by mercenaries against BOTH the "protestors" and government forces in all of these operation cannot possibly help the governments involved, since such tactics of escalation are always used to destroy weak governments.  (As apposed to helping "strong" governments crack-down....aka agents provocateur)

NO ONE to date has offered a plausible argument for how such operations would help such weak governments.  In all these cases the governments involved were trying to deescalate the situation.

ALL they do is state "they did it" while presenting prearranged propaganda pieces, such as the now infamous "I am a Ukrainian" video to vilify the targeted government.  These are deliberate acts of murder sponsored by the United States, Britain, France and NATO for propaganda purposes. Nothing is more heinous.

This is a litmus test. As with 9/11 and the chemical false flag attacks carried out in Syria, such as the one at Ghouta, all one needs to know to determine the reliability or credibility of ANY political analyst or commentator about the coup d'état in Ukraine is the position they maintain regarding the use of snipers at Maidan Square. In other words, do they support the official lies regarding these key events.

ANYONE who does not mention these tactics and their actual sponsors while analyzing these geo-political events is completely unreliable. 

ANYONE who continues to justify military intervention or policies against these governments, or their successful overthrow, citing these tactics as an excuse, is instantly and permanently discredited and for all practical purposes should be considered as a supporter of such tactics.

In other words they are advocates of random murder against civilians to produce propaganda to overthrow national governments on behalf of their sponsor's geo-political objectives. This is also known as terrorism, and all who promote such tactics by concealing their sponsor's objectives and participation should be considered as terrorist supporters from that point forward. - mpg - See quote and essay shown below....

"Terrorism -- Is the deliberately random, unpredictable, unexpected and systematic use of organized violence, (which includes torture) against civilian targets (almost always to kill, hurt or maim) to induce fear or terror in, and submission by the populace to the perpetrator's goals (the perpetrator being individuals, groups or governments), or to incapacitate and break-down the society's governing structures, or in many cases, to deliberately induce a state of civil war, anarchy or sectarian conflict within a given society." -- *The Rules of Force - 09-28-12 - mpg*

From the History File - November 28, 2011 -- A quote...."The Russian investigative journalist Nikolay Starikov has written a book which discusses the role of unknown snipers in the destabilization of countries targeted for regime change by the United States and its allies. The following article attempts to elucidate some historical examples of this technique with a view to providing a background within which to understand the current cover war on the people of Syria by death squads in the service of Western intelligence.[1]"

Syria's Mystery Snipers Revealed
From the History File - April 24, 2011 -- A quote...."Imagine you are an embattled regime fighting against a rising tide of foreign-funded protesters. The entire world is watching, one nation is already under creeping foreign invasion for “waging war against his own people,” your nation has been warned that it is next and has been on a 20 year waiting list for regime change, and your opposition is gathering to bury dead protesters from a recent clash with security forces. What do you do? -- Stage concealed snipers in multiple buildings and randomly shoot at mourners ensuring a very public, internationally sensationalized bloodbath that will unequivocally escalate both the protests and international pressure?"
