“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.

Putin would’ve prevented NATO bombing of Yugoslavia – Serbia’s president
Belgrade was attacked in 1999 because there was no counterweight to the West on the global stage back then, Aleksandar Vucic has said.
Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic has said that he stands by his earlier claim that Vladimir Putin would not have allowed NATO to bomb Yugoslavia in 1999 if he had been in power in Moscow at that time.
During talks with his Russian counterpart in Sochi in 2019, Vucic said “we in Serbia value Putin more than other leaders [of Russia]… If Putin was making decisions in Russia in 1999, nobody would’ve bombed us.”
In his interview for the documentary ‘Belgrade,’ which was dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the start of the NATO airstrikes and aired on the television channel Russia 1 on Sunday, the Serbian leader was asked to comment on that claim.
“I said what I think. Every person in this country [Serbia] thinks the same,” Vucic replied.
“Some former leaders of Russia used to impose sanctions against us three days after the Americans did,” he said, referring to Boris Yeltsin, who was president between 1991 and 1999.
On March 24, 1999, the US and its allies launched airstrikes against what was then Yugoslavia, after blaming Belgrade for the “excessive and disproportionate use of force” in addressing an ethnic Albanian insurgency in Kosovo. NATO warplanes carried out 900 sorties during the 78-day bombing campaign, which, according to Serbian government figures, killed 2,500 civilians, including over 80 children. The Western powers acted without authorization from the UN Security Council.
NATO “took advantage of this situation and found a way to bomb us in order to destroy our country, because there was no counterweight at the global level, there was no one who could then resist them,” the Serbian president explained.
The same documentary included Putin’s response to the suggestion by Vucic that he would’ve stopped the NATO bombing campaign in 1999; the Russian president stressed that “the situation in Yugoslavia was different. The country was in a state of a severe internal conflict.” Because of this fact, “it’s difficult to talk about it now,” he said.
“In any case, if we had a single ally [in the face of Yugoslavia], of course, we would have been building relations with that ally… If we had any obligations in our relations, then, of course, we would have fulfilled those obligations. Back then, there were no such relations between Russia and Yugoslavia,” Putin explained.

The Russian leader, who was first appointed Russia’s prime minster later in 1999, also said that the actions of the US and its allies that year were “completely unacceptable,” calling the NATO attacks on Yugoslavia “a huge tragedy.”

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 REAL REASON FOR THE WEST’S FEAR OF RUSSIA?
The fear of Russia invading Europe & the Baltic States is being spread far & wide by western political and media elites. Are we hearing a true account of elite anxieties, or do they hide some deeper fear?
These days you hear a lot of chatter across various media sources and amongst western politicians regarding the danger to the West of Russia. Lurid stories regarding Russia finishing with Ukraine and then invading and occupying the nations of Europe and the Baltic States are rife. How realistic are these warnings?
If you listen to Professor John J. Mearsheimer, R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago on this subject you will hear him say there is no basis for the assertions above. Professor Mearsheimer studies great power politics and has been an active commentator on the war in Ukraine since as early as 2015. His branch of study falls within what is called the ‘Realist School’. From Wikipedia, he is an American political scientist and international relations scholar who belongs to the realist school of thought.
Professor Mearsheimer points to all the indications that Russia is solely focused on Ukraine and indeed on only a particular region of Ukraine known as the Donbass. This is a primarily Russian-speaking region that shares a long border with the Russian Federation. Mearsheimer points to the relatively low number of Russian troops that have been assigned to the present campaign and to the fact that Russia has not mounted the kind of campaign in Ukraine that the Americans mounted in Iraq for instance. The troop numbers are too low to take, hold and occupy the entirety of Ukraine, therefore how could Russia possibly take the whole of Europe and the Baltic States with such low troop numbers? In addition Mearsheimer states that there is not a single indication that Russia has this intention.
Why then do we hear this scare story being spread far and wide in the West? What might be behind it, the true reason for the West’s fear of Russia?
Factors to keep in mind:
1. The economic rise, and potential for economic rise, of nations who have remained outside the orbit of western influence, such nations include Russia and China, band also Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and, until recently (and remaining broadly unaligned) Libya. Others such as Saudi Arabia have recently moved away from alignment with the West along with a growing number of African nations. This is threat number one.
2. The events of 9/11 made it imperative for the United States to reassert its domination across the world, strengthening its ability to control potential dangers to itself through close surveillance and an increase in levers of economic manipulation. A redoubled effort to insert itself within nations through to have influence within them by all means possible was imperative. Besides these soft power activities the willingness to use hard power has also been clearly seen in the many regime change operations that have been conducted since 9/11. With the failure of many of the regime change operations (such as that in Afghanistan) U.S. influence can be seen slipping rather than increasing. This is threat number two.
3. Related to 1. and 2. above is the shaping up of a multipolar world scenario with multiple nations now gravitating around both China and Russia. This trend runs contrary to U.S. goals regarding having greater influence with which to spot and eliminate potential 9/11-type threats to it emerging. How can you impose effective surveillance on nations where you are not embedded as the elite or within that nation’s elites? You cannot. And the ultimate goal post-9/11 was to have worldwide surveillance right down to the most intimate details regarding telecommunications, internet, email and interpersonal relationships. To be able to spy to a near universal degree was the goal sought to keep the USA safe in perpetuity. With nations where it sought elimination and replacement of political elites growing stronger economically and in terms of their influence we see this goal becoming harder, not easier to attain. This is threat number three.
The USA and its allies such as the UK and most of the EU states cannot wage regime change wars against the primary states mentioned above in any direct way. China and Russia are both states with sophisticated nuclear weapons at their disposal. To use tactics similar to those employed against Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya is unthinkable. Another way to achieve U.S. goals and eliminate fears 1. 2. and 3. Had to be devised. And of course it was perceived that though the post-9/11 goals had to be achieved as soon as possible a head on charge against both Russia and China would be folly. Therefore a strategy was devised whereby one would be taken on semi-directly while the other would be tackled by a more nuanced means of weakening pressure.
The plan for Russia
Russia was to be brought to a state of economic calamity by a two-pronged approach. It was to be enticed by unrelenting pressure to do what we saw on February 24th 2022, namely cross the Russo-Ukrainian border and invade Ukraine. No way out was to be left for Russia but this outcome, no Minsk Accords where a peaceful means of resolution to the Donbass problem would be allowed to succeed, no appeals for a new European security architecture for all by Russia would be given the time of day, instead all would ultimately be rejected to initiate the planned for conflict. This was to massively drain Russia of financial resources and weaken it substantially. Concurrently a massive array of financial and economic sanctions would deliver the crucial body blow to collapse Russia’s ability to serve its people who would then rise up and achieve the regime change the USA and its allies sought.
The plan for China
Just as Russia was being ‘dealt with’ China would be submitted to unrelenting pressure regarding Taiwan. The strategy regarding Russia being successful the nations gravitating toward it within the BRICS group would think again and revert back to being under U.S. influence. China, goaded into a siege or invasion of Taiwan would find itself abandoned by former BRICS members and therefore weakened to that degree. Clearly the U.S. planners will have an entire flowchart of tactics to further destabilise China during this time, without doubt including actions initiated in Hong Kong, Xinjiang and elsewhere within mainland China. The goal, regime change with the elimination and replacement of the ruling elite in China would certainly be a greater challenge than in Russia, however there appears no doubt that this IS the goal.
You will no doubt have already ascertained the reason, or rather the reasons why the USA and its allies fear Russia and also why they fear China from all of the above and this due to a massive miscalculation by the collective west.
The plan for Russia failed.
Instead of growing weaker Russia has grown stronger through the actions of the collective west.
Vladimir Putin has just won reelection as president with an even stronger mandate from the Russian people. None of this is according to plan. The Russia previously thought to be weak by the leaders of the collective west and said to be weak and failing in initial pronouncements must now be said to be so strong that it could take all of Europe and the Baltic States. This is false as stated initially. But the true fear cannot be spoken, that the USA and all its proxies are being defeated, humiliated, sidelined and left ever weaker with every passing day. This is the real fear behind all that we see and hear from the western powers now. Their own malign activities are boomeranging back on them and destroying any hope that their 9/11 goals will ever be realised. Those goals were never to be questioned. World domination by the USA and those within its orbit of control, HAD to be. These are the reasons for the fear, and that fear is growing by the day, initiating ever more desperate actions, statements and policies even as Russia approaches the ultimate moment of triumph in Ukraine.
