Quotes by Mark Ames

PageQuoteDate
Pierre Omidyar“There is truly nothing like Omidyar’s contradictory roles — fighting the empire, leaking the empire’s secrets, while also working hand-in-glove with the empire’s agencies to make the world more pliable to US government and corporate interests. Perhaps it reflects the multibillionaire’s bizarre Howard Hughes-like schizophrenia; perhaps it’s deliberate, a co-optation of the dissident activist wing. Perhaps there’s no rhyme or reason, only the effects — an eerie silence from nearly the entire activist community when it comes to holding Omidyar or his many endeavors accountable.”30 October 2014
Andriy Parubiy“This is a big assassination. Parubiy began as cofounder of Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Social-National Party, to head of Maidan “self-defense” with its reported false flag shootings, to speaker of the Rada and key liaison pushing Ukraine into NATO. The godfather of the Banderites.”30 August 2025
