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.
Air attack on pro-Russian separatists in Luhansk kills 8, stuns residents.

PROFESSOR JOHN J MEARSHEIMER: WHERE IS THE UKRAINE WAR GOING?
Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 12th June 2023:
Russian navy rebuffs Ukrainian drone attack – MOD (VIDEO).
The targeted vessel avoided damage in the incident and continued its mission, Russia’s Defense Ministry says.
A Russian warship has repelled an attack by six Ukrainian naval drones in the southeastern part of the Black Sea as it patrolled the TurkStream and Blue Stream gas pipelines in the early hours on Sunday, Russia’s Defense Ministry has said.
The incident involving the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s Priazovye intelligence-collection ship happened at 1:30am Moscow time (10:30pm GMT), the ministry said in a statement.
All six “naval unmanned speedboats,” which the Ukrainian military used to target the vessel, were destroyed by the Priazovye’s weapons, it added.
“There were no casualties. The ship didn’t suffer any damage,” the statement continued, noting that the Russian vessel had continued with its mission.
According to the ministry, a US Air Force RQ-4B Global Hawk strategic reconnaissance UAV was conducting surveillance in the central part of the Black Sea at the time of the failed attack.
It also released a video of the Russian vessel repelling the attack by the Ukrainian naval drones.
TurkStream and Blue Stream are gas pipelines that traverse the Black Sea and deliver Russian gas to Türkiye.
In late May, Russian reconnaissance ship Ivan Churs, which was on a similar mission to Priazovye, was attacked by three Ukrainian drones some 140km (86 miles) to the northeast of the Bosporus Strait. All of the incoming unmanned speed boats were also destroyed by the ship’s gun, according to the Defense Ministry.
Last September, the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, which connected Russia and Germany through the Baltic Sea, were destroyed by a series of explosions.
The attack on Priazovye comes shortly after Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky confirmed that Kiev has been performing “counteroffensive actions” along the frontline with Russia.
Moscow has been saying that the long-delayed counteroffensive by Kiev has been underway for a week now, but has so far been unsuccessful, with the Ukrainian forces suffering significant losses in manpower and hardware, including Western-supplied Leopard 2 tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles.

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.

UKRAINE AND THE DEATH OF WESTERN HUBRIS
We are witnessing industrial levels of death in Ukraine. Hapless thousands of forced Ukrainian conscripts are being fed into a meat-grinder at the behest of western leaders and officials sitting very comfortably in Washington and London’s Whitehall.
These men, mostly given a week or two of rudimentary training, are dying to save the rear ends of people like Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak. Their mangled bodies are a mute epitaph to another death, that of western hubris.
We have seen this play out before, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and the Sudan. The oh-so-noble elites of the western world with its gloriously pure intentions, inflict massive death and damage on nations far from their shores, then depart to create a facade of lies with which to justify themselves.
Why have these terrorists in designer suits got away with this for so long? Why the impunity (while Vladimir Putin is called to The Hague)? What makes these death-dealing politicians and their complicit mass media news editors sacrosanct, far above the law? Perhaps because they created these laws but never intended them to apply to themselves?
The impunity from arraignment at war crime courts of law has provided all western elites with a sense of aggressive and completely irresponsible righteousness. Those of the North American ilk talk of having a ‘manifest destiny’. This apparently having graciously been handed to them on an exclusive basis by their god. However, we have seen this belief system acted out before during World War Two with Nazi belt buckles emblazoned with the slogan, ‘Gott Mitt Uns’.
Across Ukraine currently and especially at the battlefront adjacent to the Donbass region, we see these disastrous mythologies play out, now remotely applied, once again causing horrendous levels of death and destruction. The hands-off, but equally murderous policy of using others as proxies, is a tactic that was also applied in Syria, Libya. It is now applied at its most remote in Ukraine. Washington, Whitehall and Brussels elites can keep their highly manicured hands spotlessly clean on Ukraine, posing as righteous saviours while issuing orders that directly bring about the mass carnage we are seeing now.
The impunity of western elite warmongers that has seen so much slaughter, instability, destruction and misery caused is now facing, in Ukraine, its greatest area of vulnerability to complete dissolution. It is clear that non-aligned nations are taking notice of this with great interest. The countries of the Global South and Eurasia now see their opportunity to get out from under the great dictator of the West’s thumb. Long held resentments against the North American, British and European bullies can now be fully expressed, old policies of alignment with them can now be abandoned and fresh policies toward more local and rising nations be formed and readily progressed.
Nations that might once have kowtowed to the western thugs and blackmailers are now queuing up to join Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa in BRICS, soon to be BRICS+. No longer will the western bullies hold sway with what are now rapidly empty threats. The western nations who became power-junkies over the far too many years they held sway are now losing their fix. They are weakening almost by the day, all heading into recession with inflation flaring out of control, their industrial capacities diminishing. Meanwhile both China and Russia their targets are experiencing economic growth and steadily lowering inflation.
Ukraine will be the ultimate humiliation for the collective West. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria each put a nail into the coffin of the western world’s totally out of control hubris. Butt the humiliation that is assured for the West over Ukraine will be the last nail required to see its end. At that point, surely only a matter of months away, the entire world outside the West’s noxious perimeter can heartily celebrate the final death of the malignant hubris that has been the ugly and long-standing criminal signature of the West.
