VIRTUALLY UNREPORTED ATROCITY IN LUGANSK, 2nd JUNE 2014
A lot has been said about atrocities in the western media claimed to have been perpetrated by the Russians, for example at Bucha and Mariupol among others. These assertions are conveyed on the say so of the Ukrainian authorities. How willing though are western news broadcasters to convey atrocities attributed to the Ukrainians? The following will I think provide the answer.
If anyone wonders if they are receiving accurate coverage of the conflict in Ukraine I would suggest watching the video below of an event which occurred on the 2nd of June 2014 and ask themselves if they recall hearing about it on any mainstream media news channel at the time.
The video is harrowing to watch. The bodies (five women and three men) are real. Yet across western media there was only one single news report that occurred a day later. This was from CNN and occurred only because a CNN team happened to be nearby at the time of the atrocity and so the network could hardly ignore it as all others so obviously did.
The video below shows the unvarnished truth that was not considered newsworthy in western mainstream news.
THE SINGLE WESTERN MSM REPORT ON THE LUGANSK ATROCITY, 3rd JUNE 2014
The video at the CNN link below is the crime scene sanitised by CNN, though played straight with honest reporting on the scene not playing things to Kiev’s tune.
(There was a time early in the war in the Donbass when CNN were not afraid to contradict the Ukrainian regime in Kiev.) Watch because it's the first and last time you will see this.
5 women and 3 men died, all civilians.

PROFESSOR JOHN J MEARSHEIMER: SETTING THE STAGE FOR DISASTER
Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 31st March 2023:
Saudi Arabia makes move towards Russia-China bloc.
The Kingdom has approved “partner” status in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has signed the documents granting Saudi Arabia the status of “dialog partner” with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) – the political, economic and security bloc currently chaired by China.
The king signed off on the memorandum of understanding at the cabinet meeting on Tuesday, held at the al-Salam Palace in Jeddah, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
In addition to formalizing the partnership, King Salman also approved the technical and vocational training with China. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman thanked Beijing for mediating the talks with Iran, which culminated in the re-establishment of “good neighborly relations” earlier this month.
The Saudi state agency also said that Iran was set to join the bloc “soon.” Tehran had applied for membership in 2021.
The SCO was created in 2001 by Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. It has since expanded to India, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan as full members. The status of dialog partner was created in 2008, and includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Egypt, Nepal, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Türkiye.
The bloc initially focused on security concerns, primarily terrorism, separatism and extremism. It has an agreement with the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) on jointly addressing security, crime and drug trafficking. Over the years, it began fostering cooperation in matters of trade, economics, and culture as well.
In addition to taking a step closer to the SCO, Saudi Arabia is reportedly interested in joining the BRICS group – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – Russia’s ambassador to the kingdom, Sergey Kozlov, said in February.

SUPPORTING SCOTT RITTER
I've been listening to Scott Ritter describe how things are for him and I suspect have been for him for quite some time now.
He has been doing a LOT of unpaid work with a great many interview requests coming in that he has been ready and willing to agree to. But the work where receives some pay for have suffered due to this, being left until the wee small hours of the night to complete work on.
Scott, I think you will agree, has been one of the most influential voices out there on Russia and Ukraine.
I was moved by Scott's words to take an annual subscription to his Substack account that he runs in coordination with his colleague on 'U.S. Tour of Duty', Jeff Norman. This is the main way that Scott recommends to help him with finances with which to upgrade his delivery of comment on Russia and Ukraine, via a better microphone etc. and perhaps the creation of a recording studio in his basement to create a more professional and impressive look. To invest in these things he would like to be sure that this has a viable financial future.
Would you also like to help by subscribing at one of the various levels to Scott's Substack account? I hope so. If so the link is here:
Below you'll find the edited part of the video where Scott talks of his commitments to get the facts out on events in Ukraine and of the finances that would come in handy to enhance their delivery:

VICTORY BELONGS TO RUSSIA: IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
Each day that passes makes a conclusive Russian victory in the Donbass and beyond more certain. As Russia bolsters her forces, and weaponry, those of Ukraine decrease. Russian forces gain ready access to rest and recuperation as troop numbers increase. The increasingly exhausted and demoralised Ukrainian troops have an ever decreasing prospect of such respite. This situation is likely to bring them to complete breakdown as Russia unleashes the firepower of the more modern and advanced weaponry that is arriving with the newly mobilised Russian troops.
The various Ukrainian offensives are now weak when confronted by the reinforced Russian lines. A few futile efforts achieve quite miserable results before fire reigns down on the Ukrainian troops and they are forced back to their starting positions.
And now, all this being said, we have arrived at the wet, and later, freezing conditions where these pathetic Ukrainian forces will be subject to myriad forms of abject misery with death and injury all around them while they lie sodden or frozen, abandoned to their fate by Kiev.
The pitiable young and old of Ukraine have been frogmarched to their deaths as cannon-fodder while the bestial elites of the collective West urge their "president" to add more to their number there at the gates of Hell and their doom. We must feel for the majority of them as they are not the Nazis we revile, in most part they are decent men, fathers, sons, brothers, husband and uncles, who no doubt saw through the coup of 2014 for what it was. But sadly, their fate seems sealed.
Nothing will stop Russia now. Every factor favours them. Victory will be Russia's. In Donbass and beyond and in due course across the world.
Victory belongs to Russia: It is now only a matter of time.

WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE MORAL, ECONOMIC & ETHICAL DEATH KNELL OF THE WEST
Jeffrey Epstein is only one of the great many figures within the western world who had wealth and influence who have shown themselves to be totally corrupted souls engaged in evil activities which have blighted so many lives. There are so many cases which have come to light in recent times across the West where such people have risen to prominence in the western system of casino capitalism and aggressive competition.
In the USA the #MeToo scandal with Harvey Weinstein at its centre clearly revealed that the western world had an immense problem connected with elite power and its abuse. The #BlackLivesMatter movement also showed an institutional racism had survived there. Countless financial scandals down the decades also reinforced the view that there was something rotten at the core of western capitalism.
In Britain the paedophile scandals surrounding some of the most famous people and previously well-respected figures reflected a similar decay of general moral and ethical standards.
These are only the most outward and publicised signs and examples of a decay that has been a long-standing feature of western lifestyles and their systemic roots.
The malaise goes much deeper and has a long history. This plague of inner and outer decay has grown for decades and has been emerging ever more obviously in recent years. The elements where moral and ethical decay can be seen most clearly vary across a platform of vices in the West from pornography to hard drug use to corporate criminality to mind-bending cults to hard core crime, to increasing gun use and violence to an ever-increasing nihilism of youth. A decay in value systems from community to petty crime, tax avoidance and the fostering of a shallow pseudo-celebrity form of elitist fascism, has permeated western cultures more and more in recent years, leaving these shallow “open minds” prey to massive government conditioning.
Western societies have been hollowed out in regard to integrity, basic common sense and any widespread trace of intellectual ability allowing scrutiny of the pernicious policies of their governments. This has become a relative rarity outside the realm of purely selfish gratification. This has resulted in a majority who are so drowned in the sleazy milieu of personal ambition and indulgence that they are now almost incapable of rational thought. This is the majority who can now be guided like sheep to the slaughter in support of whatever criminal acts their state functionaries demand they acquiesce to.
These are the regime change wars based on lies cynically channelled by western states through a corrupted and wholly complicit western mainstream media. These scarcely camouflaged racist wars would have been inconceivable to the public of western states if not for a conditioned blindness that has been carefully fostered in the majority by their state institutions.
From 2007 and a certain speech in Munich we have seen all of the factors above used in the most complete act of cynical conditioning that outdoes anything attempted before, a far more pervasive and universal level of barely hidden propaganda that has underpinned the conditioning of shallow western minds by its focus on one man, Vladimir Putin.
This culmination of a general shallowness of mind and the increasingly degraded and distracted nature of western minds where the ability to perceive reality has been dimmed and the general perception of reality conditioned, has been put to effective use by western states. This process, actively pursued since 2007 has left a western public as reactive as Pavlov’s Dogs.
The general fogged mindset with all its attendant seducing physical material wants and desires mixed in with increasing phobias and sickness-inducing habits and vulnerabilities has made western populations an excellent target for Machiavellian techniques of control and manipulation. This is now being used to guide support for an extremist Ukrainian regime where modern day Nazis hold de facto power against a Russia seeking to unseat them.
George Orwell foresaw all of this long years before of course. He foresaw the bleating western “sheep” in virtually complete docility moving inexorably toward the very efficient, state-operated, abattoir of the mind.
Thankfully most nations worldwide have natural cultural antibodies to this process, cultures founded on resource-poor conditions where excess is uncommon and where minds must remain sharp, alert and focused to ensure mutual survival and where long-maintained traditions and levels of cultural integrity would risk the perils of anarchic chaos and terminal levels of poverty if abandoned. They are well aware of the risks they’d run if they took the western road to rampant excess, waste, gleeful irresponsibility, nihilism, a sexual free-for-all, rabid, dog-eat-dog competition, all part and parcel of a low-integrity, sexual and corporate downward spiral to moral and ethical decay.
The nations standing against the collective western world at this moment, especially those of Russia and China, are those who dare to defend themselves against a western world that has always to some degree evidenced its immorality and unethical foundations but is now in terminal moral and ethical decline. They stand increasingly united, stronger than ever before and more determined than ever before not to be taken down by the fast-disintegrating West or to be taken down by it.
No… the West will alone descend the toilet bowl of history, as all previous empires of unsaveable decadence have done before it. There is clearly no saving it, especially now as it has become universally imbued with the state-created lies that blind it to the reality of the situation in Ukraine and the oncoming multipolar world in which its obvious and ever-worsening degradation has no decent place.
