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.

Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 13th September 2023:
U.S. decline, Kiev’s warmongering, Russian economic successes: Key takeaways from Putin’s panel in Vladivostok.
The president participated in the Eastern Economic Forum on Tuesday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the US and its allies may be inadvertently diminishing their influence by ignoring new global power dynamics. As an example, Putin cited Ukraine as a nation that has opted to align with the West, noting that its people have borne significant consequences as a result.
The Russian leader made the comments on Tuesday at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, where he attended a panel discussion alongside Pany Yathotou, the vice president of Laos.
The West is shooting itself in the foot
In a critique of the US and its allies, Putin claimed that they are unintentionally damaging their own interests by misusing international financial mechanisms for geopolitical purposes.
“What, for example, are the restrictions on transactions in dollars leading to? All nations are mulling creating their own tools, new payment systems,” he explained.
Putin further argued that Western nations have eroded confidence in the global finance system by freezing Russia’s national reserves as a punitive measure in response to the Ukraine conflict.
“God knows, they have themselves to blame for the negative consequences they are already facing,” Putin said.
Too late for the West to contain China
The Russian president claimed that the Western world is actively working to undermine and contain China, but believes such a policy will ultimately prove futile.
In his words, “The lengths they go to stall China’s development are shocking, but they cannot achieve it. This train is already gone.”
Moscow and Beijing share strong cooperative ties across numerous fronts. However, they are not pursuing a military alliance nor positioning themselves as “friends against somebody.”
When asked about the details of his private discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his visit to Russia in March, Putin joked that, as a former KGB officer, he doesn't “disclose secrets.”
Trump persecution exposes ‘rot’ in US
The health of the US political system appears to be in decline, as indicated by the numerous criminal charges facing former President Donald Trump, according to the Russian leader.
“The things happening to Trump are persecution of a political competitor,” he stated.
Putin also said he believes US elites are committed to keeping Russia a foe, not a friend. As such Moscow is indifferent to whether a Democrat or a Republican emerges victorious following the 2024 election.
Given the existing hostility, however, the controversy surrounding Trump proves advantageous to Russia, he said. It unveils the “rot” within the US political system and demonstrates to the world “who is opposing us.”
Ukrainian leadership counts on war
Putin suggested that Kiev lacks incentives to pursue a peaceful resolution to the conflict, despite experiencing considerable hardships during its counteroffensive. He estimated that Ukraine's human losses since the commencement of the operation have exceeded 71,000.
“Sometimes it appears that [the Ukrainian leadership] does not consider the people they throw into their counteroffensive as their own,” the leader commented, adding that Kiev's strategy is apparently to “chew off” as much territory as possible before considering a ceasefire.
However, were Moscow to agree to such conditions, its adversaries would likely exploit a pause to rebuild their military capabilities for a future confrontation, Putin predicted.
The president believes that Ukraine's goal is to establish a long-term dependence on foreign sponsors for national security and economic assistance.
Elon Musk an ‘outstanding person’
Putin made complimentary remarks about SpaceX founder Elon Musk while discussing the prospects of private investments in the Russian space industry.
The Russian president described the US billionaire as “undoubtedly an outstanding person” whose accomplishments have gained international recognition.
He also noted that SpaceX’s success has partly been facilitated by government support and expressed Moscow's intentions to forge similar partnerships with the private sector.

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.

SEPTEMBER 12 2001 HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH UKRAINE'S ULTIMATE FATE
It was on September 12th 2001 that everything changed to such a degree that the process began where twenty one years later Ukraine would be destroyed. On that date the decisions were made which sealed its fate irrevocably. On that date and the days and weeks following the men and women who would ensure Ukraine's demise were put in place and others removed. Pragmatism died that day as did diplomacy in its truest sense. Warriors replaced peacemakers, hawks replaced doves, bridge-burners replaced those who would build them. Good sense and logical thought were dispensed with. North American foreign policy was altered irrevocably that day. And from that day onward Ukraine was doomed.
Of course Ukraine was not the first victim of this unquestioned change in U.S. foreign policy. There were other, more important targets to attend to, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya and so on but it was from that day, the result of an inside job or not, that the road to the destruction of Ukraine would be taken.
It was the dogged determination, uninformed to any degree by particular insight that put the feet of those involved on that road. The simplistic mindset of totally aggressive instincts after a major blow to the U.S. body politic and nation. Exemplified by an already simple-minded man who headed it at that time, George W. Bush. He it was who insisted, despite the warnings of many that Ukraine (and Georgia) would join NATO announced at the NATO summit in Bucharest in 2008. This as a direct result perhaps of Vladimir Putin's speech at the Munich Security Congress of the previous year where he told in no uncertain terms that Russia was not signing up to be dictated to by the USA or any grouping of nations. Russia would walk her own path as a sovereign nation.
The western elites present at Munich could not have heard a more unwelcome message from Putin. Wasn't their every impulse post nine eleven to move the USA irrevocably to the role of world policeman, a role that till that time was unofficial so to speak but which now became seen as a vital and official necessity due to nine eleven. Putin was flouting every signal that the western powers were delivering. That signal was the imperative nature in light of nine eleven that the guardianship of the world must now rest without question in the hands of those who had suffered on 9/11. Putin swam against the tide that they desired, to swamp all resistance. His resistance was recognised as totally contrary to all they felt compelled to set in place. He was thus public enemy number one from that day in February 2007 onward. And in Bucharest he was told that fact explicitly.
Those who took over from September 12th 2001 had been waiting decades to assert the authority they considered vital to bring the USA to the position they considered was its destiny. That position was as global warden, the position that reflected its already acknowledged role as leader of 'The Free World', winner of World War Two and economic powerhouse of the world with all that these attributes and victories entailed. These political zealots were the warriors George W. Bush called upon now to wage the 'War on Terror' which was also a war on all opposition to the United States assuming the role of ultimate controller of our planet. The neoconservatives were thus placed in positions of power where they would act as they had always wished to, to generate what they had long called, 'The New American Century'.
When it came to Putin there had been only cooperation until that February day in 2007. He had been wined and dined across the West, greeted as a partner due to the belief he was going to accept the vastly upgraded role the neocons were building. Bush Junior looked into Putin's eyes and saw a man he could trust, or so he said. It was expected that Putin would toe the line. He had put many things in place for the western powers assisting in their war against the Taliban. It appeared he would be useful and compliant. This was the prevailing attitude until his Munich speech after which all positivity fled from the relationship and Putin became the latest to be added to the list of mortal enemies to be attacked, eliminated and replaced.
From Munich onward the largely successful attempt to destroy Putin's reputation began. Without doubt the CIA used all vestiges of influence left over from 'Operation Mockingbird' to organise the mass media attack upon Putin that has prevailed from that time to this. The volleys of verbal bullets aimed at Putin began and continued non-stop for what is now over a decade and a half. The die was cast for all that was to come in regard to Ukraine. Putin was set up to be the mirror image of Adolf Hitler in a concerted attempt to have him destroyed by whatever means were found possible, by internal means within Russia if possible, but in any case through character assassination in the West.
NATO became the next weapon to be used against a Putin-run Russia. Russia was to be pressured inexorably to initiate the internal discord that would lead to its collapse and potential era of governmental replacement resulting in the West-friendly regime that was seen as imperative for the global project to assert full western dominance. Ukraine was merely the ultimate piece in this strategy where Russia would be destabilised to the degree that a new anarchy would reign and its leaders topple from power. Ukraine was to be the ultimate chess piece that would bring checkmate to those who had been targeted for this next round of regime change.
Nothing Russia attempted to avert the situation in Ukraine becoming worse after the west-assisted coup in 2014 would be allowed to work. No meaningful diplomacy would be engaged in, only trickery and a sophistry almost beyond imagining among those who apparently offered a diplomatic way out through Minsk. Putin, apparently convinced of the sincerity of the western powers worked tirelessly to make Minsk work. For seven long years. Seven years in which he was consistently made the dupe of the plan that had its true genesis all those years ago, in 2001. The strategy of the neocon warriors, unquestioned, required all enemies to fall and Putin was the primary enemy at that time. (To be followed by the Chinese leadership as quickly as possible after his political demise.) All possible means had been agreed to achieve the neocon goals set after 9/11. Diplomacy and pragmatism having been dispensed with.
And so the war in Ukraine. It had been inevitable all along. The push toward Russia by NATO was deliberate and had its origins in the warrior determination of the neocons brought into the highest levels of the U.S. state from September 12th 2001 where it remains to this day. With no Plan B to the total elimination of all opposition to U.S. power no brake is to be applied, and no questioning of the forward motion of the project is permissible. It is all or nothing and has been since 9/11. Russia still stands in the way with Putin at the helm. All possible means are still order of the day for the western powers still firmly in the grip of the neocon zealots. And Ukraine, destined to be completely destroyed as the project to destroy and remake Russia continues unabated.
