Live: Just 5 people watch on YouTube live broadcast of the Maidan massacre trial in #Ukraine. Trial completed examination of all evidence & now starts closing arguments. It revealed overwhelming evidence about massacre of protesters by Maidan snipers. 1/
But various politicians, #media & self-proclaimed experts, who falsely claim that Berkut police or government snipers massacred Maidan protesters & that existence of Maidan snipers is conspiracy theory, need no evidence from trial of century in #Ukraine 2/ researchgate.net/publication/35…
Even absolute majority of wounded Maidan protestors testified at Maidan massacre trial or investigation in #Ukraine that they were shot by snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings & areas or witnessed snipers there. Prosecution denies snipers existence! 3/
Even several dozen prosecution witnesses (!) testified at Maidan massacre trial or investigation in #Ukraine about snipers in Hotel Ukraina and other Maidan-controlled buildings & areas that I identified in my academic studies of this mass killing. 4/
Maidan massacre trial in #Ukraine did not consider as evidence model of killing of 3 protesters by NYC architecture company. It misrepresented wound locations vs medical examinations by making wounds horizontal & shifting from sides & back to front, 6/ nytimes.com/2018/05/30/mag…
This fake 3D model was publicized by @nytimes & many other media even though actual wound locations of 3 killed protesters are precisely shown by forensic medical examinations, Maidan massacre trial, videos & bullet holes in shields & helmet & my video 7/
I contrast, my video appendix with witness testimonies about Maidan snipers was admitted as evidence & shown at Maidan massacre trial in #Ukraine. I wasn't involved in this & trial overall. Video appendixes of my academic studies are publicly available. 8/
My article that was published by New York University Jordan Center summarizes major revelations from the Maidan massacre trial and investigation in #Ukrainejordanrussiacenter.org/news/the-maida…
Live: Just 3 persons including me watch live broadcast of Maidan massacre trial in #Ukraine. This massacre ultimately escalated into #RussiaUkraineWar. This trial of century revealed overwhelming evidence about massacre of protesters by Maidan snipers. 10/

"Speaking to CNN anchor ... Bolton suggested Trump was not competent enough to pull off a "carefully planned coup d'etat," later adding: "As somebody who has helped plan coups d'etat - not here but you know (in) other places - it takes a lot of work." reuters.com/world/us/forme…
Bolton's admission of planning coups in foreign countries is not as striking as many people denying such US involvement as "conspiracy theories" because of ignorance & partisanship,
