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: WHERE IS THE UKRAINE WAR GOING?
Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 9th June 2023:
Eurozone falls into recession.
The euro area’s economy has now registered two consecutive quarters of contraction .
The Eurozone's economy contracted in the first quarter of 2023, the statistics agency Eurostat revealed on Thursday. This marks the second consecutive quarter of contraction, thus meeting the technical definition of a recession.
The announcement came following a downward revision of growth in the 20 countries that use the euro as their currency for the last quarter of 2022 and first quarter of this year.
Gross domestic product (GDP) in the Eurozone shrank by 0.1% between January and March, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, Eurostat said in a statement.
The agency attributed the downturn to a slump in both government and household spending and to revised data from Germany, which showed that the Eurozone’s largest economy slid into a recession at the beginning of the year.
Household consumption in the euro area dropped by 0.3% in the first quarter, highlighting the pressures that consumers are facing amid soaring prices, the report said.
“We expect growth to resume from 2Q23, but stay subdued through 2023, as headwinds from tighter financing conditions and faltering global demand keep a lid on activity,” Bloomberg’s Maeva Cousin and David Powell noted.
Sharp GDP declines were registered in Ireland (down 4.6%) and Lithuania (down 2.1%), while Germany posted a quarterly decline of 0.3%, Eurostat data showed.
The Netherlands, Malta, and Greece also reported a quarter-on-quarter contraction in the first three months of the year.
“News that GDP contracted in the first quarter after all means that the Eurozone has already fallen into a technical recession. We suspect that the economy will contract further over the rest of this year,” Andrew Kenningham, chief Europe economist at Capital Economics, said.
The revised data comes despite reassurances from European Central Bank officials that a recession could be averted even as inflation surged to the highest levels since the euro was introduced.

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.

WHAT IS THE UKRAINE WAR LEADING TO? WHAT WILL THE FUTURE BRING?
Currently the Russian operation in Ukraine is grinding forward attempting to achieve the goals set for it at the outset.
For the record these were, are and remain:
To ensure that Ukraine poses no future threat to the security of Russia.
I. By bringing the current leadership in Kiev to agree Ukraine will not join NATO but will institutionalise its status as a neutral state and this will be incorporated in its constitution by an act of law. This will have the effect of ensuring Ukraine remains a buffer state between east and west in recognition of the world war that will now continue for at least a decade or more to come.
II. By demilitarizing Ukraine. Ukraine to have a symbolic military force for use at ceremonial occasions, guard duty at the presidential palace etc. but no more. All weaponry of any size to be totally eliminated and none further incorporated into the remaining, entirely symbolic military of Ukraine.
III. By the denazification of Ukraine. This to be brought about by a number of means including the prosecution of all crimes committed by members of extremist groups existent in Ukraine. The banning of all Nazi-inspired insignia, the banning of the various extremist groups and assorted militias and the rigorous elimination of all traces found of their existence without time limit. A public information campaign to communicate the many crimes of these groups and their infamous history of sadistic abuse and political influence in the recent shameful past of Ukraine.
To bring all Ukraine and specifically its elites to the understanding and acceptance that the new republics of the Donbass and Crimea are now entities entirely free of Ukrainian control or influence.
I. Acknowledging in law that Crimea is now and will remain an integral part of the Russian Federation and that no Ukrainian elite whether in government or outside of government will in any way threaten the people of Crimea ever again.
II. Acknowledging the sovereignty of Crimea as an integral part of the Russian Federation, the government of Ukraine offers the hand of friendship in matters of trade, cultural exchange and the common humanity of neighbours in good standing.
III. Acknowledging that all regions that have recently become an integral part of the Russian Federation are now lost to Ukraine and that no future government of Ukraine will attempt to regain them by military force.
These three demands by Russia are vital for a new Ukraine to rise from the dark ashes of the old. This new Ukraine will undoubtedly receive massive funds from all sides to rebuild its territories and to clear the remnants of the past ready for the eventual economic success of the future.
For this to be brought about the present intransigence of the current Ukrainian regime must end and end too must the efforts of the collective west to keep the bloodshed continuing by all the means in its power. This misguided effort can only hurt Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, not help them, and further bar the path that the Nazi-legacy extremists are using everything in their power including committing atrocities on their own fellow citizens.
Russia WILL succeed in its aims. The requirement to do so is utterly existential in scope for Russia and she will not back down. No matter what Russia will see this through to the end… but that end need not be overly bitter. Only the present continuing resistance by Zelensky and the West can make it so.
