“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.

'Calling All the Shots': US Escalates Ukraine Conflict via Kiev Client State.
American imperialism looms large as the Western-backed proxy war on Russia continues.
2022’s Nord Stream pipeline sabotage reemerged in Western headlines Wednesday when the German government announced it was seeking the arrest of a new suspect in the case.
A Ukrainian diving instructor identified as Volodymyr Zhuravlev is claimed to have worked with a team of co-conspirators to install the explosives that caused the destruction of the pipeline almost two years ago. The charge has been met with widespread skepticism, with observers saying only highly trained experts would’ve been able to reach the deep sea pipeline, but Western media outlets like The New York Times have nonetheless faithfully parroted the claim as allied NATO leaders seek to shift the blame away from the United States for the catastrophic environmental disaster.
“I saw the headline and I had to laugh – literally, I had to laugh,” said documentarian Regis Tremblay on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program Wednesday. “I don't know if this is just a distraction but I think it's been pretty well determined by Sy Hersh and others that no individual is capable of doing this.”
“Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline was such a complicated procedure that it absolutely has to have taken a state, the state being the United States of America possibly working with Sweden and who knows who else,” said the commentator. “This was such a complicated maneuver and task that no one individual could do this… I can't believe that this is even a cover-up or even a distraction.”
The story has brought attention to the likely US role in the incident as the country maintains economic pressure against Russia. Germany’s economy has cratered in the wake of Western sanctions against Russian gas, with analysts earlier this year forecasting a GDP increase of only .2%, but German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has nonetheless remained an enthusiastic participant in US-backed attempts to isolate Russia diplomatically and economically.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has launched a provocative incursion into Russia’s Kursk region, injuring dozens of civilians and killing at least 12. The Biden White House has denied any role in planning Kiev’s attack. But reporting earlier this year identified the 10-year role of the US Central Intelligence Agency in Ukraine, during which the country’s intelligence agencies and increasingly the Ukrainian government itself has become a wholly owned subsidiary of the United States.
“If anybody believes that I want to sell you some beach property in Arizona,” said Tremblay of the Biden administration’s denial of any role in Ukraine’s attack. “Anything that comes out from the United States and the West has to be viewed as 180 degrees opposite of what the truth is… [Ukraine] could not have done it without United States reconnaissance, satellite imagery, intelligence on the ground. Ukraine simply does not have the capability to do this.”
“So when I read that I just said, ‘B.S.’ The United States is the one that's calling all the shots in Ukraine,” he continued. “And one of the reasons for that is [that] Ukraine basically doesn't have much left. Ukraine basically is just, it's like they're swaying in the wind left and right, there's no sense to what they're trying to do.”
“I think that the United States orchestrated this as another attempt to provoke Russia by crossing a really red line, now attacking inside the Russian Federation. Another dangerous escalation. Everybody's waiting to see now what President Putin is going to do.”
Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev responded angrily to the assault, saying the Russian military would be forced to move onward to Kiev and Odessa in response, but Tremblay noted President Putin’s carefulness and restraint in prosecuting the military operation so far.
“Both these voices must be listened to,” Tremblay said, noting Putin and Medvedev’s differing perspectives on the conflict. “[But] Putin said the opportunity to dialogue and to negotiate with Kiev is over. This will now be settled on the battlefield.”

Support among Russians for the special military operation is at a high as Western governments scramble to cover up the United States' increasingly sloppy crimes.
Two decades from the outset of the United States’ war in Iraq a 2023 opinion survey found 61% of Americans disagree with the decision to launch the ill-fated invasion.
The finding is the culmination of years of soul searching on the part of the American public, which has grown increasingly wary of US military intervention in recent years. A large majority of Russian citizens, on the other hand, have indicated they approve of the country’s special military operation against Ukraine with healthy military recruitment figures serving as the latest evidence the citizenry is united behind President and Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin.
International relations and security analyst Mark Sleboda joined Sputnik’s The Final Countdown program Wednesday to discuss the latest developments in the Western proxy war on Russia as well as the curious case of the Nord Stream pipeline explosion as the German government claims to have found a suspect for the crime.
“The German news that broke is pretty interesting,” said Sleboda, referring to the German government’s release of the name of a supposed suspect behind the presumed sabotage of the Russo-German Nord Stream Pipeline in 2022. “This Volodymyr Z – according to German privacy laws, the full name is not released… this is the absolutely complete bull feces, cockamamie cover-up story that the United States and Germany have centered on.”
“They can’t admit that the United States blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, because that would mean the end of NATO,” the analyst added. “It would be a member of NATO attacking a member of NATO. They can’t admit that. So they came up with this.”
In a case of reality sometimes proving to be stranger than fiction, the German government has claimed an amateur Ukrainian scuba diver by the name of “Volodymyr Z” is responsible for the explosion that blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that formerly transported cheap natural gas from Russia to Europe.
But critics claim the “discovery” of the alleged culprit, whose last name is purportedly “Zhuravlev,” is itself another fiction of Western intelligence agencies, which insist on offering an alternative explanation for the environmental disaster which is widely presumed to be the work of the United States.
“It [was] a methane release,” Sleboda noted. “And methane is a greenhouse gas some 28 times more potent than carbon. So, yes, it is also the largest man-made release of carbon environmental catastrophe [of] that scale. But these things go by the wayside when geopolitics is concerned.”
“As far as I'm concerned the Seymour Hersh version of events is probably very close to the actual story,” he added, referring to the investigative journalist’s analysis of the incident.
“To believe that a group of rando Ukrainians on a rent-a-day little pleasure dinghy out of Poland managed to lay serious military explosives at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, a NATO lake just off an island in Denmark that NATO routinely does military exercises [in] – in fact amazingly enough, just a week earlier, there [were] US ships involved in military exercises, military ships that may very well have actually been involved in leaving some explosives on the bottom of the Baltic Sea – I mean, this story is so ridiculous and, conveniently enough, their mysterious Volodymyr Z just disappeared.”
Western governments’ refusal to implicate the United States in the incident and reluctance to investigate the matter has further damaged support for the Ukraine proxy war as European leaders fear former President Donald Trump would end US support for the conflict if reelected in November.
Meanwhile, Russian citizens remain united behind Moscow’s war effort, with Ukraine’s attempt to mount an incursion onto the Kursk region of Russia only heightening Russians’ patriotic fervor.
“It's just further cementing support for the [special military operation],” noted Slebeda. “By all domestic accounts the number of young men signing up as volunteer contract soldiers for the SMO – which was already around 1,000 a day, at least at the last word by the minister of defense – has jumped again because people feel that Russia has been attacked and Russia has been insulted.”
“The statements in the press make it quite clear that the US and Europe were at some level completely behind this. So that increases Russian society's anger and desire for getting some payback.”

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 OBVIOUS SOLUTION THAT WE IN THE WEST ARE NOW UNABLE TO LIVE
There is a feeling going round that something has been lost. What can it be?
I have no doubt you look around the world we have come to now and shake your head. If you have lived any length of time you will have certainly seen better days than these. Much better. If you are as long in the tooth as I am you will feel you have entered some kind of twisted version of Hell in fact… that is compared with the wicked, but not so wicked as now world we once knew. Yet the solution to all these problems has been a catchphrase for at least as many decades as we have been alive. Yet it seems we can’t agree to settle our differences and abide by it.
It is of course, ‘LIVE AND LET LIVE’.
The thing is that one or two nations believe they have the right to take nations and nationalities that are not like their own and do whatever they like to them as if they were holy messengers sent down from above to police the world. They conceive themselves to be so superior that they have the right and even the duty to do this. And do it by force if they have to. They don’t see a few hundred thousand corpses as something to worry overmuch about. The end justifies the means, right?
The elites of these lands, the USA and the UK conceive themselves to be a superior group who sit on the board of directors of all they survey. Their wishes must come true. Their commands must be obeyed. Their interests must be satisfied. And all things must be arranged to suit them. And woe betide anyone who thinks they have a right to their culture or national sovereignty and who refuses to bow down to the wishes, commands and interests that these god-like figures require to be attended to at all times.
War and pestilence are not archaic terms as we know all too well from recent history. The USA and UK have delivered both. Both physical and mental. Their frame of mind where those who are not like them are fair game for them has been extremely obvious lately. They conceive themselves and their systems to be the composite crown of creation, the model which all others must aspire and adhere to. Or else…
In this modern materialist western world values count for little, that is any values you may have brought with you from the old, dead and gone world. Now you must agree to the new values, the woke values, the kind seen recently at the opening of the Paris Olympic Games. You will be coerced to accept those values or you risk being canceled. Either you stay silent, out of sight of the censors or you will find yourself in trouble for being too free with your opinions. Shut up or be shut up. Your choice.
We are being taught to emphasize our differences more and more. We have told to expect the best at all times and to get annoyed when things are not done as we demand. We feel far more entitled than ever before. Large numbers of our fellow beings, the affluent percentage, have been told to ‘expect more’ and to demand more. “Shop till you drop.” “Consume!” Want the best and get it. Beat the ‘others’ to it by whatever method that’s to hand. Those are not fellow humans, they are your competitors.
The advertisers and marketers told us to demand it all and have it all. But they didn’t tell us just how much we would have to pay for that. And pay and pay and pay… with all the psychological baggage and distortion that a shallow life of endless consumption and competing can bring. Who needs friends you can no longer trust? Except those you might be able to use to your advantage somehow, right?
Your neighbors became absent over the years or else they became annREALLY ANNOYING. Somehow we became obsessive about being safely alone, not touched by others except for them to ask us what we want from them. People became either competitors or potential slaves for us to order around. In the service culture that was sold us we were kings and these minions who delivered service to us were our slaves. And if they didn’t come up to scratch we would ditch them for new ones.
Other cultures were fine during brief holidays from making loads of money for all the glittering trinkets of a very modern life, trips to distant lands where we could feel superior and become interested in quaint customs for a while, slumming it and taking selfies to show the equally vain and shallow relatives back home.
This is the material that is the human specimen seen so widely now in the western world. A grotesque shadow of a human being. Hardly able to be loved or to give love, a calculating machine, a robot that digests mainstream headlines and believes them in total ignorance.
LIVE AND LET LIVE?
Yes, if only we had the essential materials in the human beings now existing in the western world to do it and not these distorted and distorting shadows that hardly even remind us of human beings. Lost in lies broadcast nightly, heads wasted with a tawdriness that lurks everywhere now. Frightened by the reality all this irresponsibility brings, daunted by the news of riot and mayhem, murder, rage, racism, war and hatred. But still seeking filthy lucre to garner it all to the self and keep it safe from those others ‘out there’.
This is the world the USA and UK and most of the EU want to foist on the rest of the world, to make all others just like them, caught in the self-loving trap of those who believe themselves superior but who have lost everything that was real about them and in so doing lost any trace of their humanity. Live like us or die. That is their motto. Live and let live? This is anathema to those who demand all others be like them. Their self-image is so deluded, their conception of themselves as the most exceptional, superior form of beings ever to grace this planet could not be further from the truth. And their awful and disgusting reality is now leading to them being now being rejected during the birth of a truly multipolar world.
In that world now being born the phrase that has become so unfashionable will once have meaning once more.
LIVE AND LET LIVE.
