*** WEST IN TROUBLE GLOBALLY - NOT ONLY IN UKRAINE ***
“Ukraine. What is the truth...?
Why won’t western media tell both sides…?”
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.

MULTIPOLARITY - RUSSIA-CHINA / BRICS
Why Turkiye's Move to Join BRICS as Full Member is Big Deal.
BRICS may receive a new addition in the near future as Turkiye lodged an application for a full-fledged membership with the economic bloc this week.
Turkiye’s membership may be welcome news for BRICS as the Turkish economy was rated by the IMF in 2023 as the 17th largest in the world, with the country’s GPD last year being appraised at a little over $1 trillion.
According to the World Bank, Turkiye displayed a steady real GDP growth rate (averaged 5.4%) from 2002 till 2022, as well as a decrease in poverty that dropped from over 20% in 2007 to 7.6% in 2021.
Turkiye’s geographical location, right on the boundary between Europe and Asia, along with its control of the Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits linking the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, make the country a natural logistical hub for moving goods between the Global South and Global North.
Ankara’s considerable clout in the Middle Eastern affairs, where it has long been one of the top players, and its influence on the African continent may also benefit Turkiye’s future fellow members in the BRICS.
At the same time, better access to the BRICS members’ markets may help Turkiye deal with its own economic problems such as, for example, rampant inflation that remains a concern for Ankara today. Ironically, the World Bank notes that the reliance of Turkish industries on “carbon-intensive processes and fossil fuels” presents a challenge in Turkiye’s cooperation with the EU in light of the latter’s focus on “green” technologies and climate change.
Meanwhile, BRICS members are not so fixated on destroying their economies for the sake of an environmental agenda and thus might make much better business partners for Turkiye.
Why Turkiye's Move to Join BRICS as Full Member is Big Deal.

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.

SOCIAL MEDIA IS UNDERMINING WESTERN STATE & MASS MEDIA CONDITIONING
What views might you have now, and what preconceptions might you hold, on geopolitical issues if there were only your politicians and mainstream media news available to form them?
Imagine how it would be if you had only western politicians and mainstream media news to rely upon when it came to geopolitical issues. Undoubtedly you watch western legacy media news from time… unless you have wisely totally switched off from it. Likewise regarding western politicians on these kinds of issues and topics. Either way you will doubtless be aware of the kind of content they deliver, 100% in favor of whatever is the agreed state narrative ignoring all else, with a dash of speculation that bigs up the favored side and denigrates the other.
The above is what passes for informing the public when it comes to political entities unload, and journalism when it comes to the primary western news outlets. All will claim they are impartial, unbiased truth tellers simply attempting to provide the facts as they see them. Believe this at your peril. What once passed for integrity within the political sphere and for impartial journalism and news gathering in the mainstream, is now so one-sided and partisan that its true definition is propaganda. Luckily in our day and age we need no longer rely on the “information” these sources offer us.
Corporate interests will always tend to reflect the viewpoints, attitudes and agendas of the Establishment. Those who work within the spheres of established concerns such as the BBC, CNN and all the others that make up the most prominent “news” organizations all belong to the same club and as comedian George Carlin memorably stated, “You Ain’t In It” and neither are most of those who work within social media. This excludes certain well-heeled rebels such as Elon Musk of course, but in the main those who would be authentic truth tellers tend not to be of the well-heeled class. This is why it is very possible you will hear something closer to the truth from them.
This is not to say that everything on social media is more trustworthy than that which you can find in mainstream news outlets. There are plenty of individuals who wish to deliver the exact same message as you will find in the mainstream on the Ukraine conflict for instance. YouTube is full of them and search engines like Google prioritize them. In fact, using Google to search for those who see things differently from the mainstream outlets are almost impossible to find via Google and not all that easy performing a YouTube search either. Finding out who to trust is a long-term project that starts with a recommendation most times. A name is suggested such as Alexander Mercouris. Then you watch and listen to him and decide over time if you can trust he is providing something close to the reality in Ukraine at any one time.
Once you have created a subscription list on YouTube of the individuals you most trust then you have a good, solid base for understanding the other side of the Ukraine conflict that the mainstream avoids like the plague. They will tell you something of what is happening both positively and negatively for each side. They won’t talk solely on the positive aspects of the Ukrainian prospects and activities of the last 24 hours, they will deliver an overview on how both sides have fared over the last 12 or 24 hours. Whereas on mainstream news channels there is a vow of silence on a whole raft of no-no subjects and a mandatory positive spin on others. On social media, if you have found, through consistency of delivery, trustworthy sources your chances of gaining a true insight into conflicts such as that in Ukraine is far higher than through mainstream media news.
It is a rather scary and forbidding concept, to imagine our world where only the mainstream view exists. That world is the world George Orwell conceived of in his novel ‘1984’, a world where the state and its functionaries determined what was real and what was not and manipulated all aspects of news to condition their populations into accepting their distortions as fact. The present western world in a great many respects mirrors the dystopian and totalitarian world Orwell conceived of. If your view conflicts with the mandated views of the Establishment and others are influenced by you, you could be made into a non-person via the cancel culture that now dominates in the West. If you are like Scott Ritter and demand to have the free speech promised by the U.S. Constitution you may have your house raided by the FBI. The threat is always there that if you say things that the State disagrees with you could be in big trouble.
The western world, the supposedly ‘Free World’ is being turned into the ‘Fear World’ of Orwell, through an Establishment gripped by fear that it is losing its grip and is no longer as able to manipulate us as it was before. Social media has interrupted and intervened to ask questions concerning state narratives that newspapers and TV news applying actual journalism used to do. Now that mainstream news outlets are fully supportive of western state narratives there is no longer an agency within the mainstream to protect us from the abuses of power we know do emanate from the Establishment, especially at times such as these. Of course, until now it is still a relative minority who have the time and inclination to delve deeper than the mainstream narratives via social media. The majority remain the ‘Headline Surfers’ who feel they need nothing more than that to be ‘in the know’.
Those who have taken the trouble to look deeper are in for a shock. To find out just how corrupted mainstream “news” has become will hit people hard, their whole world view may change. Instead of having a degree of respect for mainstream figures in both political and media spheres they may well find themselves absolutely loathing them and will take care to avoid being exposed to lies and serial attempts to condition and brainwash them. It may not be evident just yet but the number of those who have come through the shockwave of understanding just how much the Establishment lies to us has grown very large and its effects will be seen across many election cycles. Already quite a number of politicians have fallen victim to the so-called ‘Zelensky Curse’ and I predict we will soon see the fall of a great many more.
