*** WHAT CAN/WILL WEST DO AS UKRAINE’S RESISTANCE COLLAPSES? ***
“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.

Europe running out of time to resolve Ukraine crisis – Orban.
If Donald Trump wins the US presidential election, he will make the EU stance on the conflict irrelevant, the Hungarian PM claims.
The European Union must act now to settle the Ukraine conflict or be consigned to irrelevance by the US, the Hungarian prime minister has warned. Viktor Orban predicted that if Republican nominee Donald Trump wins the US presidential election on November 5, he will start to deal with the crisis even before he takes office.
The former US president has repeatedly claimed that if elected, he will persuade Kiev and Moscow to reach a diplomatic solution “within 24 hours.” His running mate, J.D. Vance, has suggested that Trump would likely freeze the conflict along the current frontline and offer Russia a guarantee that Ukraine will not join NATO.

Speaking at a press conference in Strasbourg on Tuesday, Orban said that should Trump defeat his Democratic rival Kamala Harris, “he will not wait until the inauguration ceremony … in order to manage a peace” in Ukraine.
Trump “will act immediately, so we as European leaders don’t have any time to waste, because there would not be two or three months, as we usually have between the election and the inauguration of the new president,” Orban said.
He urged European leaders to “react first intellectually, philosophically, then strategically, and then at the level of action as soon as possible.”
The Hungarian prime minister also said he was glad that the EU leaders would convene for an informal summit in Budapest on November 7, describing the event as a good opportunity to discuss potential ways out of the Ukraine conflict.
Orban also pointed to foreign policy differences between the current Democratic administration and the Trump team, and admitted that he is rooting for the GOP candidate.

Russia will respond to Western greenlight for Ukrainian long-range missile strikes – Lavrov.
The attacks would trigger the contingency plan outlined by President Vladimir Putin, the foreign minister has warned.
Moscow would trigger a “contingency plan” outlined by President Vladimir Putin in the event that Ukraine receives permission to use Western-supplied long-range missiles for strikes deep inside Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned.
Putin earlier said that any such strikes would be treated by Moscow as a direct attack by the countries that provided the weapons.
The diplomat was commenting on an upcoming meeting of Kiev’s foreign arms donors, which Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has been touting as “historic.” Moscow does not follow statements on the issue as it already has a response prepared, the foreign minister said.
“As soon as this decision is taken [by the West to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles], if it is taken, we will learn that, and the contingency mentioned by Vladimir Putin will already be in action,” Lavrov told Russia’s Channel 1 broadcaster.
Putin has warned that any such attack by Ukraine with Western-supplied long-range missiles would be treated by Moscow as being directly launched by NATO. He has suggested that Russia could arm enemies of the West with similar weapons in response.

Moscow is currently updating its nuclear doctrine to include an attack by a non-nuclear state backed by a nuclear one to the conditions which could trigger a nuclear retaliation from Russia.
Kiev has been asking the US and its allies to lift a ban on strikes deep inside Russia with their long-range weapons for months, blaming its recent setbacks on the battlefield on Western reluctance.
Russian officials previously claimed that the principal decision to grant Ukraine its wish had already been made, and that Western nations were choosing a means to present it to the general public.
Zelensky had hoped that the ban would be lifted during his visit last month to the US, where he presented his ‘victory plan’ to President Joe Biden. According to local media, US officials are skeptical about the Ukrainian leader’s proposal, which they do not consider viable for defeating Russia.
Moscow, which describes the Ukraine conflict as a US-led proxy war against Russia, has pledged to achieve its goals by any means necessary as its national security depends on it. The West is willing “to fight to the last Ukrainian” to inflict damage on Russia, the Kremlin has argued.

Burkina Faso has brought up Ukraine's support for terrorism in the Sahel region in its talks with Russia, Burkinabe Prime Minister Apollinaire Kyelem de Tambela told Sputnik on Tuesday.
"We discuss politics, culture and business with Moscow... We discuss this issue as well," the prime minister said when asked whether Moscow and Ouagadougou discussed Kiev's presence in the region.
Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger wrote a joint letter to the UN Security Council in August urging the United Nations to take measures against Ukraine, which they accused of supporting terrorism in Sahel.

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 DEMOCRACY SCAM
Do we live in the "Free World"? Do we hear all points of view, expressing our own freely, or are the powers-that-be increasingly encroaching upon those freedoms & perhaps intend to end them entirely?
It is said that when Che Guevara met Fidel Castro for the first time they talked all night. It is further said that Che passed on a warning to Fidel regarding his experience in Guatemala. That warning consisted of alerting Fidel of the dangers of democracy. He had seen a president in Guatemala put certain democratic principles in place only to find these being used by the CIA and others to undermine the government and subsequently bring it down.
This is the true reason for the western powers advocating democracy around the world. They have nothing approaching democracy in their own lands, instead they have a system where the elites run things on an alternating basis while their populations have been duped into thinking voting changes things. Che was very well aware of this. All democracy does is weaken you to attack from external forces.
There are no democracies in the West. As soon as there is any threat to the power and influence of these elite-run dictatorships we quickly see their true colors emerge. All pretense regarding the safeguarding of so-called democratic rights disappears along with any adherence to international law. The powers-that-be in these nations strike down and hard in ways that make a mockery of their sanctimonious speeches regarding freedom, human rights and that holy of holies, democracy.
Public sentiment is irrelevant to these powers when they want to wage war against a potential threat to their dominance. No expression of disagreement with their policies will make any difference regarding their planning for war or its initiation. Anyone who thinks that there is any genuine people power in the western world is naive in the extreme. Placing an X in a box every four years changes nothing fundamental. Any change seen will be eventually recognised as superficial unless it is a change which harms that population, an inevitable result of the kind of people who make up western elites.
All the recent regime change wars of choice had no general public sanction.but instead were protested to one degree or another. Those protests, no matter how large, changed nothing. The wars were carried out to their maximum degree causing mass death and destruction, failing in the missions stated and only creating the conditions for ever more misery to come.
In recent decades the absence of anything approaching the claims made for democracy have become ever more pronounced. In almost every case the major political parties involved have become closer together regarding their policies and in particular their foreign policies. This has led to an ever-diminishing level of choice for those who still think voting changes anything. In addition the elites who run things across the West now wish to add a further level of control. They want to shut anyone up who wishes to point out the iniquities they are perpetrating.
You may have noticed in recent days that major figures among the western elites are bemoaning the level of freedom people have to speak their mind on the internet and in particular on YouTube. A significant number of very popular commentators have lost their YouTube channels in the last week or so. Among them people such as Scott Ritter, ex-marine and weapons inspector, Glenn Diesen, professor at the University of South-Eastern Norway, Rachel Blevins, Larry Johnson (Ex-CIA Intelligence Analyst) Mark Sloboda and Eva K. Bartlett.
Western elites, even though they can dictate foreign policy in agreement with each other, most recently seen in their collectively waging war against Russia via Ukraine, feel the need to further shore up their positions against their own populations. Shutting down voices who deign to argue against their policies has become a much talked about topic in recent days.
Fearful of the Public, Western Leaders Turn to Censorship
On Saturday, former US First Lady Hillary Clinton called for increased federal regulation of the internet and repealing Section 230. “If the platforms… don’t moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control,” she said, raising the question of who “we” represents in that statement.
The recent purge of YouTube accounts, including those from Mark Sleboda, Rachel Blevins, Glenn Diesen, DD Geopolitics, Fiorella Isabel, Larry Johnson, and Eva K. Bartlett, it is clear that the Western leaders are scared of their populations finding out the truth about their policies and actions.
“We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people,” Former US President John F. Kennedy.
“That’s what they’re afraid of,” Sleboda, an expert in geopolitical relations and a frequent guest on Sputnik Radio, told The Final Countdown. “They don’t trust you to hear an alternate view from the official US government narrative and come to what they consider the right political conclusions.”
Many Americans were taught that freedom was proof-positive that Western-style democracies were superior to other systems.
Hillary Clinton Says Either Crack Down on Social Media or ‘We Lose Total Control’
In separate interviews, Sleboda and Blevins both said that their channels were taken down without warning or strikes. Both were accused of violating YouTube’s policies on hate speech and said their appeals were denied within minutes.
“Just anyone who is critical of a US foreign policy, of hegemony, has had their YouTube channels deleted,” Sleboda contended.
While the censorship technically came from Alphabet, the mega-monolith tech company that owns both Google and YouTube, a comprehensive program between the US government and large social media companies has slowly been revealed over the past couple of years making the line one without distinction.
“My lawyer called that First Amendment censorship via proxy, or government censorship via proxy,” Political cartoonist and The Final Countdown co-host Ted Rall explained. “The US government has reached out to big tech companies, talked to people like [Meta CEO] Mark Zuckerberg and so on, and said, ‘we want you to control and squish what we call misinformation and disinformation.’”
With the internet practically ubiquitous in modern society, an expansion of the First Amendment to public and private sectors of the internet is needed to protect our speech rights.
“What does the First Amendment actually mean in today’s age when just about everyone is on social media or on the internet in some way, and it has become sort of the new public square?” asked Blevins, an independent journalist, and host of The Backstory on Radio Sputnik. “What are we okay with when it comes to the ongoing censorship? Because I don’t think it’s going away anytime soon.”
Even if the government were removed from the equation, and censorship came exclusively from the tech companies themselves they have become so powerful that acts of self-censorship would be indistinguishable from government-ordered censorship, especially during wartime.
First Amendment Makes It ‘Really Hard to Govern Today’ – Ex-Secretary of State
In post-9/11 America, large media companies kept dissenting voices off the air, limiting the reach of those who, for example, opposed the war in Iraq.
“And you get that corporate mentality of what will the advertisers think?” legendary Gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson argued in an August 2002 interview with Media Report. “A kind of we’re all in this together thinking.” The consolidation of the internet from disparate groups of message boards and newsgroups into a handful of omnipresent tech companies raises that specter again.
“As we saw this weekend, YouTube can come in and just delete your channel and take your life’s work away from you,” decried Blevin, noting that her channel was backed up on the free speech platform Rumble.
The majority of the deleted accounts offered views that opposed the NATO-led proxy war in Ukraine and/or Western support of Israel. As the war drums beat ever louder in Europe, the Middle East, and the South Pacific, not to mention the US Presidential election next month, the crackdown is likely to increase.
“They haven’t really thrown out the term election interference just yet, but I have a feeling that’s coming in some way,” warned Blevins.
“We’ll tell our grandchildren about the golden age of a global internet,” before censorship took it over, predicted Sleboda. “I think we’re going to see our internet fractured into either individual states’ internets or geopolitical block’s internets. And I think the process has already begun,” he warned.
Despite all the immense power to manipulate us via mainstream media news outlets which have become slavish stenographers of western elite narratives since 9/11, it is clear this is not enough control over us. They want to have complete obedience and total acceptance of whatever they tell us, and anyone deigning to have a different view on things they want to have the ability to shut down at their command.
This is the world of totalitarianism that Orwell warned us of. It is happening right now. Cancel culture and the complicity of mass media in furthering their plans to dominate the information space are not enough for them. They want to eliminate our access to all alternative points of view leaving us wholly reliant on the word of politicians. Anyone who has taken the slightest interest in politics and politicians in recent years will know exactly how far we can trust them.
This is all part and parcel of the way western so-called democracies are now run. The precepts of democracy have nothing to do with what is now occurring. What is happening is that the liberal elites want full totalitarian control. They want to know what you are doing and thinking, who you are meeting and what you are buying. They want to know what’s in your bank accounts, what internet sites you are visiting and whether you agree with them or not. And they want you secure in their net of control totally unable to connect in any way with those who might help release you from it.
