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) - 15th June 2023:
Western sanctions backfired, US analyst tells RT.
The Russian economy has continued to grow despite the pressure, Douglas Andrew Littleton says.
The attempts by the US and its allies to isolate Russia have failed, while the many rounds of sanctions have backfired and not crippled the country’s economy as intended, American political analyst and car-industry veteran Douglas Andrew Littleton told RT on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum (SPIEF).
Littleton added that he was disappointed with his government’s sanctions policy against Moscow.
“I think what happened with the sanctions it’s backfiring on the West, and especially on America, in my humble opinion,” the analyst said. “I’m happy that Russia has been able to bypass and skirt the sanctions in so many ways with their friends and allies,” he added.
The US, EU, and allies have hit Russia with numerous rounds of unprecedented sanctions since the launch of Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine. The penalties have affected entire sectors of the Russian economy, as well as businesses and individuals, including President Vladimir Putin.
Discussing how the Russian economy has handled the Western pressure, Littleton said he believes that what Russia has been able to accomplish is “absolutely fantastic.”

When asked about his impression of the St. Petersburg forum, he said: “I am in shock how big this forum is but very pleased to be here.”
Over 17,000 participants from 130 countries have reportedly attended the SPIEF, which kicked off on Wednesday. Over the course of the four-day event, participants will discuss key issues related to the Russian and global economy.

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.

UPDATES TO BE ADDED HERE AS AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
THE COLLECTIVE WEST IS FIGHTING A WAR AGAINST TIME
The world is steadily gravitating away from the nations of the collective west and those allied with them. The movement is toward the BRICS nations and also includes dropping the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. This is steadily diminishing the ability of the USA and its proxies to blackmail nations not conforming to their wishes by way of financial and economic sanctions. This process looks certain to increase as the western powers use this mechanism of dwindling power to twist arms due to the situation in Ukraine.
The nations of the collective west are caught in a Catch-22 situation whereby they need to exert maximum pressure on all nations to support them against Russia. Russia meanwhile has the better card to play, that of energy (oil and gas) when it comes to the nations the West wishes to blackmail into obedience. The greater the pressure the USA and those allied to it attempt to bring to bear the more they alienate the nations they target and the more certain they are to protect themselves by abandoning the U.S. dollar. (This by the way is why we are currently seeing a change in policy by the USA whereby an effort consisting of a softer approach composed of clearly insincere charm is being applied instead.)
The above love-bomb approach can only work to a limited extent however as the nations it is applied to can hardly mistake the wolf in sheep’s clothing or the dagger held behind the back while the other hand offers flowers. The USA has ruined its reputation regarding trust so many times over the years that what is likely to happen in response to its blandishments is an equally insincere welcoming thank you. The old saying by Theodore Roosevelt still fits in respect of the USA on the world stage still holds true and describes its foreign policy well currently: ‘Speak softly and carry a big stick’.
How long will the USA be able to continue to threaten nations who don’t immediately obey its commands? Not for much longer if the clear intent to align with the BRICS nations is anything to go by or the signs that de-dollarization has become an unstoppable trend. Past times when the USA and its allies had only to snap their metaphorical fingers for the world to immediately stand to attention are fast ending. No longer will they be able to order other nations to jump, the only response from them being, “How high?” From the days of slavery through the colonial era the nations of the West have been abusing their positions of power to exploit the rest of the world. We are seeing the end of their ability to continue this abuse currently.
The nations of the west led by the USA and UK are suffering from the trends above just at the moment when ironically they are fighting for their top-dog position at the most crucial stage of all across their centuries-long period of global dictatorship. In Ukraine Russia finally broke free from the pressure-cooker policies the West had attempted to break her with. Subsequently the collective west attempted to crush Russia using all the power it thought it still had. This was a potentially fatal mistake. The nations it thought it could command no longer jump to attention as in the past. They saw where this would lead if they did so.
The world the USA, UK and their allies seek to create is one where they have even MORE power to dominate and control than before. Due to the events of 9/11 it was decided in Washington, then in London’s Whitehall and subsequently across all governmental elites within Europe that they could no longer tolerate the independence of states not willing to accept their dominance. So they set about destroying the foundations of all such incalcitrant nations.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria were only some of the first tranche of nations to be undermined. All others until complete subservience was achieved were to follow. All the western collective powers were to work in unison, all speaking from the same geopolitical hymn sheet, all delivering the same narrative, working from the same agenda. And every last one of their mass media news outlets were to conform to all of the above also. The goal to undermine all nations not conforming to a future permanent western dictatorship was to be accepted without question or run the risk of being targeted yourself.
All may have gone well if Russia had not foreseen the above eventualities and planned for them and if China had not risen to a point where to assail it risked the destruction of at least half, if not the entire world. The western coalition was in a hurry due to the immensity of 9/11 for them. It had made them seem weak, vulnerable when they needed to project only strength. Therefore this had to be corrected in no time, an unconscionable event that had been considered a virtual impossibility had delivered an enormous blow to the facade of unassailable power that the West required to continue its dominance across the world. Now this had to be reinforced… and then some.
There were to be no half measures and no ethical or moral barriers to achieving the goal of supreme domination supported by total oversight using wall-to-wall 24/7 surveillance along with the undermining and replacement of all governmental systems that refused American/British/European command. 9/11 made this imperative. To not achieve this goal comprehensively and universally would leave them to that degree vulnerable at some undetermined future date. The danger could not be left to grow. It must be wiped out at its roots and never be allowed to grow ever again. This required a total restart for the world and the three allies (US/UK/EU) determined to achieve this.
That determination is growing stronger just as it becomes clear that these three (US/UK/EU) are growing increasingly weaker and unable to achieve the ambition they have set themselves. Total Global Control. Full Spectrum Dominance. As time goes on and Russia becomes ever clearer to be the winner in Ukraine the dismay and determination of the western political elites grow stronger in tandem. Doubling down is seen to be the only solution, not backing down. There is no plan B, only the unquestioned forward movement to absolute control worldwide. To fail to achieve this is unacceptable. But… the West is running out of time. Things are not at all going their way, quite the geopolitical movement is in quite the opposite direction.
What ultimate weapon might they bring to bear in their absolute desperation when no plan B can exist or even be contemplated? As the clock ticks down to no time left to achieve their goal what might these totally fixed-minded men and women dedicated to an impossible goal with no alternative contemplate? Would they even see NO world as being better than a world they are unable to completely control? These are the terrifying questions we are likely to ask ourselves as the collective west fights its war against the time that remains.
