“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.

SPIEF 2024: Kremlin explains Moscow’s message to the world.
Russia is advocating for global cooperation based on equality and the rule of law, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov says.
Russia is developing faster than most countries, and hopes to use the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) to promote global cooperation in all spheres, based on mutual respect and equality, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Wednesday.
This year’s SPIEF opened on June 5 and will run through June 8. The 27th annual event is expected to attract thousands of participants from 136 countries, with delegations arriving from Brazil, India, China, Venezuela, Azerbaijan, Zimbabwe, Bolivia, and others.
Asked to sum up the main message Moscow hopes to communicate through the forum, Peskov stated that Russia is “developing at a rate above the world average” and represents “significant changes in global political and economic conditions.”
Russia is also promoting business cooperation based on “equality and the rule of law on a mutually beneficial basis, and is offering this to all interested countries and entrepreneurs,” Peskov said.
Previously, he noted that SPIEF has attracted substantial interest from both domestic and foreign businesses, as well as regional leaders, ministers, and the heads of various government bodies.

The Kremlin spokesman suggested that before the event concludes on Saturday, an analysis should be carried out to determine how many of this year’s record number of participants came from abroad.
The executive secretary of the SPIEF Organizing Committee, Anton Kobyakov noted on Tuesday that despite the “turbulence in the global economy,” many countries are still prepared to build “bridges of understanding and cooperation” and disregard Western pressure on Russia, instead choosing to engage more closely with the country.
The main theme of this year’s SPIEF is ‘The Foundations of a Multipolar World – The Formation of New Areas of Growth.’ The three-day event will feature almost 400 business events, including panel discussions and international business dialogue meetings.

China won’t accept US ‘blackmail’ – Kremlin.
Washington has threatened Beijing with sanctions over an alleged increase in exports of dual-use goods to Russia.
The US fails to realize that blackmail and threats are unacceptable when dealing with a “large, sovereign, and powerful” country such as China, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
Peskov was commenting after US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen threatened Beijing with sanctions earlier this week, claiming that Washington would not tolerate increased exports of “dual-use” goods from China to Russia, which are allegedly aiding Moscow’s military production.
“We are well aware that our Chinese partners do not accept such language, do not accept such messages and such threats, such blackmail,” Peskov told reporters.
Washington has accused China of supplying Russia with technology for its defense sector, claiming this is crucial for Moscow in the conflict with Ukraine.
Yellen stated that the US Treasury was concerned after allegedly seeing an increase in Chinese exports of dual-use goods.
“I have been extremely clear at the highest levels of the Chinese government that this is something we will not tolerate, and that we intend to sanction this activity,” she stated.
China’s economic power is such that “even the United States can hardly afford to speak in such a tone,” Peskov said, adding that Moscow stood in solidarity with Beijing.
Perhaps not everyone in the US leadership currently understands this, but over time they will, the Russian presidential spokesperson argued.
US authorities have sanctioned dozens of Chinese businesses, accusing them of selling goods and components to Russia, including navigation devices and machine tools that can be used for both civilian and military purposes.
Both Moscow and Beijing have rejected the allegations, and the Kremlin has stressed that it has never asked China for such assistance.
Russia and China have sharply boosted bilateral trade since the start of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. Last year, mutual trade turnover hit $240 billion.

Lavrov in Africa: How is Russia’s multipolar vision being realised?
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov started his visit to the continent with Guinea and the Republic of the Congo.
By Egountchi Behanzin, founding president of the international organization African Black Defense League, spokesperson for the Pan-African Brothers, political analyst, and Pan-African activist
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s African tour embodies the clear intention of President Vladimir Putin and Moscow to strengthen diplomatic ties on the continent, despite geopolitical tensions and Western pressure on African countries that cooperate with Russia. This strategic initiative comes at a time when geopolitical dynamics are undergoing significant changes, providing Russia with a unique opportunity to assert its partnership and support, and to expand its network of alliances with African countries.
Understanding Moscow’s policy in Africa
First, it is essential, in my view, to understand Russia’s African policy: Russia enjoys a very positive image and is well-regarded by some leaders and, more importantly, by many African populations. This appreciation can be attributed to several historical and contemporary factors. Historically, during the Cold War, the USSR supported African countries against colonization and many liberation movements in Africa, leaving a lasting impression of anti-imperialist solidarity. Today, Russia is building on this historical capital to position itself as a reliable partner that respects the sovereignty of African nations, unlike France, the United States, and the European Union, which are widely rejected by the populations and pan-African movements.
I believe that Lavrov’s tour can be seen as a recognition and mutual respect between Russia and its African partners. Lavrov goes beyond superficial diplomatic discussions; he demonstrates a genuine willingness to deepen bilateral relations and understand the specific needs and aspirations of each nation. This mutual respect is crucial in a context where many African countries seek to diversify their partnerships to avoid excessive dependence on former colonial powers like France and Britain, and on Western institutions, which are criticized in Africa for their neocolonialist and imperialist policies, as well as the intimidation and pressure they exert on some leaders in their relations with Russia.
The main objectives of Sergey Lavrov’s visit
One of the main objectives of this tour is to strengthen economic and military cooperation. Economically, Russia sees Africa as a continent of the future with expanding markets. Russian investments in the mining, energy, and infrastructure sectors can stimulate local economies essential for the development of countries while providing Russia with resources and economic opportunities.
If we speak of Guinea, for example, after six decades of diplomatic relations with this country, Russia has developed economic cooperation that is currently experiencing notable growth, boosted by the Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg in July 2023. Despite the efforts of both countries, economic cooperation was affected between February and March 2022 by the illegal, criminal, and unjust sanctions imposed by the United States and Europe on Russia due to the military operation in Ukraine. However, Russia continues to strengthen its investments in Guinea, with projects in key sectors: energy, mining, health, and infrastructure. In 2024, Moscow remains a notable contributor to Guinea’s socio-economic development. For example, the Russian company RUSAL, the world leader in the aluminum industry (with nearly 5.5% of global aluminum and 3.8% alumina production) is very present in Guinea (nearly 4,000 employees) and contributes to the creation of jobs for local populations, strengthening Russia’s presence by showing its willingness to play a significant economic role with its African partners.
Military cooperation
Militarily, cooperation with African countries is strategically important for Russia. As a major supplier of arms, Russia can offer not only quality military equipment but also training tailored to the needs of African countries and highly valued expertise. This military assistance helps African nations like Burkina Faso, which is plagued by insecurity, to strengthen their internal security and combat threats such as terrorism. For Russia, these military agreements also reinforce its presence and influence in Africa, contributing to a global network of alliances.
The fight against neocolonialism is another central theme of this visit. Russia positions itself as a defender of national sovereignty and an opponent of neocolonial practices. This stance strongly resonates with many African nations seeking to free themselves from imperialist influences like France and the United States and to fully control their economic and political destinies. By supporting this struggle, Russia presents itself not only as a strategic ally but also as an ideological partner.
Russia’s multipolar approach and vision
This approach fits into a broader Russian vision for a multipolar world. In this vision, each nation should have the freedom to choose its own partners and define its policies without external pressures. For African countries, this means more autonomy and the ability to negotiate agreements that truly reflect their interests and aspirations.
To conclude, I would say that Lavrov’s tour of Africa symbolizes a major step in Moscow’s strategy to strengthen its ties with the continent. It reflects a desire to diversify international partnerships, to respect and support the sovereign aspirations of African nations, which are victims of neocolonialism, and especially to promote a multipolar world order. For Russia, this initiative is an opportunity to consolidate its position on the international stage. For African countries, it is a chance to benefit from new opportunities for cooperation and development within a framework of mutual respect and support for national sovereignty without interference in the internal politics of African nations.

I CALLED IT: Russia storming northward from Ocheretyne into Ukrainian weak spot - Ukraine SITREP.
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.

THE BIDEN/TRUMP VISION OF THE WORLD THROUGH EQUALLY DEMENTED EYES
The USA is the global cesspool in many respects. The lowest rise highest there with regularity while noxious ideas proliferate to be foisted on the rest of us. Two men in particular personify this trend.
What we see when we look through Joe Biden’s eyes is a blurred and distinctly fuzzy set of redundant archetypes being held as fundamental and permanent truths, simplistic black and white notions long past their sell by date. These are the febrile delusions of an ageing thug who suddenly in advanced age and declining mental faculties realised his dream of long-desired power over others.
Looking through Trump’s eyes we see a rapacious hunger for more of a range of self-gratifying items that he has no ability whatsoever to look beyond, a man devoid of insight and no especial desire to gain any. Like Biden his mentality sees only a distorted universe endlessly twisted into an overwhelming self-interest, the worst of the worst political animalistic hunger for power and ambition at all costs. And those costs are always paid by others, never by themselves.
For Joe Biden the only mindset he can retain successfully in his increasingly addled brain with any measure of success are the brutally out of date concepts of the Cold War. He cleaves to the determined requirement in his utterly demented mentality of an enemy, that enemy being Vladimir Putin. This he regards as a vital requirement in his last, semi-cogent, dementia-ridden world view. He holds onto this for dear life as the pole star keeping him, as he sees it, “balanced”.
Trump too considers himself eminently “balanced”, he believes himself to be the greatest thinker of all time, the only man who has any sense in any situation at any time. His overweening sense of self-worth is belied by his endless business failures and the degradation of his personal life that constantly leaks out into the public arena. Like Biden a life-long bully with a criminal mentality and zero self-awareness regarding his inclination to criminality, self-justification being all.
Joe Biden and Donald Trump continue to fight for themselves, not for the American people. In careers of entrepreneurial and political thuggery, they quickly lost all trace of whatever integrity they may once have had. Always angry and abusive men, they are the mirror images of one another in many ways. Both thuggish and belligerent men who have always lied at the drop of the hat throughout their miserably delinquent and permanently self-interested careers. Two men driven solely by notions of self-aggrandizement without any consciousness of damage to others or the world in general.
Biden and Trump represent the absolute worst of the American political system, blinded by personal ambition, willing to sell out to the highest bidder in terms of sponsorship or policy, incapable of principle and largely vacant of anything approaching beneficial insight, useful rationality or human compassion. Semi-psychopaths both, they are equally capable of destroying and equally incapable of honest work in pursuit of the good of all. Disasters for the people of North America and potentially for the entire world.
Through Biden’s eyes and largely through Trump’s, only the concepts held in their demented brains have validity. All else is suspect. These two self-obsessed men are the primary choices laid before the North Americans in the upcoming presidential elections this coming November. They will choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledee and the world will look on aghast that this is the best that America can do. A choice between two lousy options where mental deficiencies vie for their vote amidst a tide of woke delirium. And yet the world outside the USA is bid through a brutal tide of threats, demands and military violence to admire and replicate its rabid insanities.
In November one of the two nascent mental patients, Biden or Trump will take on the mantle of world changers under the concept that only North America and its allies have the right stuff. One or the other will be expected to continue to infiltrate and interfere with our world, seeking to transform it into the mirror image of a USA that has become cracked and damaged out of all recognition. This will be the vision both Biden and Trump will be expected to have, a tunnel vision smeared with distortions and skewed concepts where a vastly faded Old Glory forces itself upon a world no longer impressed and far more clear-sighted than they are.
