THE UNREPORTED ATROCITY IN LUGANSK, 2 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.

Article from Russia Today (RT) - 15th February 2023:

Russia wants UN probe into Nord Stream blasts.

A legislative proposal cites Seymour Hersh’s expose to blame US for the pipeline attack.

The Russian parliament’s committee for international relations has approved a motion to ask the UN Security Council for an investigation into last September’s explosions on the Baltic Sea pipelines, for which they blame the US. The motion was introduced on Tuesday and is expected to be approved by the State Duma later this week.

The proposal describes the blasts as “an act of international terrorism” and a “monstrous sabotage,” calling on the UN to hold accountable both those who gave the order and those who carried it out. The criminal act has threatened the security of all Eurasia, TASS reported, quoting the text of the document.

US President Joe Biden’s administration “gave the illegal order and bears full responsibility for the multi-billion-dollar damage to the infrastructure of Russia, Germany, France and the Netherlands,” according to the document. It describes the pipeline sabotage as inflicting long-term damage to the security, economy and environment of the entire region.

The lawmakers are referring to last week’s expose by American investigative reporter Seymour Hersh, who described how the pipelines were damaged in a joint operation between the US and Norway. US actions require “a thorough international investigation, punishment of those responsible and compensation for the damage caused.”

The committee has requested putting their proposal on the agenda of Thursday’s session of the State Duma, where it may be up for a vote.

A series of explosions heavily damaged both Nord Stream pipelines, which were built under the Baltic Sea to deliver Russian natural gas to Germany and the rest of the EU.

The blasts happened near the Danish island of Bornholm, in an area where the US Navy and its NATO allies conducted BALTOPS 22 exercises several months prior. Last week, Hersh described how American divers planted the explosives under the cover of the naval exercise, saying they were later activated by a Norwegian patrol airplane.

When Hersh asked the US government for comment, it denounced the story as “fiction” and “false.” It has received little to no media attention in the West since. On Monday, NATO’s secretary-general – and former Norwegian prime minister – Jens Stoltenberg announced the formation of a new “coordination cell” to work on securing undersea infrastructure.

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:

SCOTT RITTER ON SUBSTACK

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.

WESTERN MAINSTREAM NEWS IS A PROPAGANDA TOOL : SWITCH OFF FOR GOOD

Unless it's about your weather for next week, a cat that has climbed up a telegraph pole and can’t get down or some natural disaster somewhere you have every right to be sceptical concerning what you’re hearing. This is especially true regarding some politician making a comment and even more so when talking heads are discussing national security or an aspect of western foreign policy. If the subject concerns an area where you are being encouraged to feel fear or it covers some geopolitical issue… my advice would be to switch off immediately.I say this because mainstream media is now organised to lie to you about every important issue and what is more, to condition your mind to feel fear, hate and give consent to government needs, on demand.

Why might this be so? If true, what is the motivation behind this endeavour?

The primary reason is that the entire western world and its allies are running scared.

Their long-held dominance over the world, their ability to arm-twist weaker nations, to exploit, threaten, and attack them with impunity, is ending. Their grip on and over the world is waning. Their grip is slipping. They are power-junkies who are losing their fix and are experiencing cold turkey. This is driving them to insane lengths to desperately hold on to what is left of the control and command mechanisms that have served them so well in the past. They are desperately using the old methods of fear, threat and violent attack that were used as tools effectively until now to maintain their position and keep others in their place, under control.

I am sure you have noticed how more and more nations that once could have been expected to kowtow to certain nations that have been until recently, overwhelmingly powerful, nations such as the USA and its sidekick/puppy dog, the United Kingdom, have now taken an oppositional, or at least neutral stance. Nations such as India and Saudi Arabia for instance. No longer do the ask how high when the USA-UK say jump. Now their leaders appear to have learnt how to say no and to do as they see fit, acting in their national interests as they see them, rather than be advised by those who conceive themselves to be their superiors.

Imagine how these new developments in the field of geopolitics feel to those who are used to having their order obeyed. Once upon a time sabres would have been rattled, battleships would have received orders to set sail and do a little intimidating to get the “natives” back into line. Nowadays these “natives” don’t seem to give a good goddamn. What happened?

What happened was the rise of China, a new guy on the block fit enough to come to the assistance of those being threatened by the two bullies who have ruled the roost on the world’s metaphorical mean streets for so long now. Gone were the days when Britain would send an army to Egypt to teach the Egyptians that nationalising the Suez Canal was a very bad idea. (As it happens that particular military adventure was one of the very last that Britain would try until it found safety in numbers in the various coalitions of the killing that the USA would organise many decades later.)

China was not meant to get rich and powerful. She was not meant to reach the stage she is now at where her influence and potential rivals that of the western powers. Neither was Russia supposed to recover from the collapse of the Soviet Union and the devastating consequences for the Russian people that would result. Both nations were supposed to stay weak just like all the other nations the USA and UK along with their gang of exploitative bullies manipulated for their benefit. In addition we see both India and Africa starting to throw back their metaphorical shoulders and begin to stare down the vulture nations of the West without a trace of the fear felt in the past.

The USA and UK in particular have soiled the cosy nest they believed they had built on the backs of others. Emerging from their dual “investment” in genocide, slavery and colonialism where exploitation was the often murderous game they played, now it is time to pay for their crimes in ignominy. Their humiliation is well deserved and it is now ongoing.

Depending on their old armoury of sordid weapons has not served any of the malign nations of the West in these modern times. Currently they are investing their last pennies and cents in a war against Russia where it seems every last Ukrainian will die as a tool within a virtual death machine created in Washington and London’s Whitehall. All in an attempt shore up their failing empire of murder, exploitation, fear and war-mongering within their dying empire of murderous lies.

But they will not die along and unloved. Their complicit army of media hacks will die with them. For they are the mouthpieces of these murderous liars, the stenographers and presstitutes who churn out fabrications and malicious fairytales to order. They are the simpering eunuchs who live only by the whim of the political elites who feed them the lies required to brainwash their hapless populations. There is no news these days as far as western national interests are concerned or where national security is invoked. The western mainstream news talking heads will not and tongues wag to order… or else. The issues discussed and the way they are framed will be as required or not at all. And where a real news item doesn’t fit it will simply be omitted altogether.

Currently the Seymour Hersh article showing how it was the USA in league with Norway that blew up the Nordstream pipeline has been banished and vanished from western screens, written out of history a la George Orwell’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ in his novel ‘1984’.

Turn off your screens and radios, refuse to buy into whatever material they wish to spread their propaganda through and dig deep on the web for those not bought and sold by the established powers, both political and media, who depend on you being addicted to their output, whether that be by BBC, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC or any others who are now almost totally corrupted by joining the war against the nations of the world who have at last become strong enough to fight their oppressors.
