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.

Switching From Ukraine to Israel.
Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 18th October 2023:
Hundreds reported dead in Gaza hospital bombing.
Israel has denied responsibility for what the Red Crescent has called a 'war crime'.
More than 600 people have been reported dead and over 900 wounded after a missile struck the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza. Hundreds of Palestinians were sheltering in the building, as well as patients receiving treatment, and there are fears the death toll will grow higher.
Israel, which is bombarding Gaza following a bloody incursion by Hamas, has denied responsibility for the strike and accused Palestinian Islamic Jihad of hitting the facility.
A Palestinian Red Crescent representative on Tuesday described the destruction of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City as a war crime and genocide, while a local doctor called it a massacre.
“This is genocide. This is a war crime,” Nebal Farsakh of the Red Crescent told Al Jazeera. She explained that in addition to the patients inside, many Palestinian civilians had sought shelter in the hospital compound, after Israel ordered everyone in the north of Gaza to leave.
“Those who were in front of the hospital were forced to leave their homes under the evacuation order. They can’t even afford to evacuate to the south. There’s complete destruction of the infrastructure and transportation,” she said, speaking from Ramallah in the West Bank.
“What’s happened is terrible because those people, all of them, are civilians. They fled their homes and reached a place that they believed was safe – a hospital, which according to international law, is a safe place,” Ziad Shehadah, a doctor in Gaza, told AJ. “People left their homes thinking they were more dangerous and they moved to our schools and hospitals to be safe. And in one minute, all of them have been killed at a hospital.”
According to Shehadah, the final death toll could easily reach more than 1,000.
“It is a massacre,” he added.
Al-Ahli hospital is run by the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, an Anglican Christian denomination. Its destruction was denounced by the World Health Organization, Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye, among others.
Israel has denied striking the hospital, however. IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari said that “an enemy rocket barrage was carried out towards Israel, which passed through the vicinity of the hospital when it was hit.”
“According to intelligence information, from several sources we have, the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization is responsible for the failed shooting that hit the hospital,” Hagari added. The same claim was echoed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shortly afterwards.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh insisted that such “brutality” by Israel confirmed its “defeat” on October 7, and said the US was ultimately to blame.
“The US holds the responsibility of the hospital attack because of the cover it gives to the Israeli aggression,” Haniyeh said. He also called for Palestinians in the West Bank to rise up against Israel.
Within minutes of Haniyeh’s statement, a riot broke out in Ramallah, as hundreds of Palestinians protested against President Mahmoud Abbas’ decision to meet with US President Joe Biden on Wednesday. Abbas has reportedly canceled those plans since, citing the hospital attack.
In nearby Jordan, dozens of protesters attempted to break into the Israeli embassy in Amman, but were dispersed by police.
Russia and the United Arab Emirates have called for an emergency session of the UN Security Council on Wednesday, to discuss the Gaza hospital attack.

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.

First posted 13th June 2016
U.S. FOREIGN POLICY - WESTERN MASS MEDIA - THE NEOCONS. - THE WEST IN GENERAL - THE BRICS.
THE #UKRAINE COVER-STORY.
1/ Between the @CIA & @StateDept the #US has cooked up the oft-repeated storyline of how #Kiev is solely fighting ‘The Russians’ in #Ukraine.
2/ With this lie as foundation of their policy narrative it's clear the #US can never even BEGIN to approach a peaceful solution in #Ukraine
3/ To approach a peaceful resolution to the crisis in #Ukraine the @CIA & @StateDept would have to admit to their lie. Is it at all likely?
4/ They would require to acknowledge that a majority of people in S.E. #Ukraine are pro-#Russian. For them this is equivalent to anathema.
5/ For @CIA @StateDept & #Kiev to admit their duplicitous cover-story in #Ukraine it would mean the revelation of the reality in #Ukraine.
6/ Truly both the #Kiev regime & their #US @CIA & @StateDept handlers are victims of their own lies in respect of S.E. #Ukraine.
7/ Western mass media is similarly enmeshed within this duplicitous & deadly group-think narrative that #Kiev is fighting the Russian army.
8/ We are at an impasse. As with #Iraq the western group-think “reality” on #Ukraine is set in concrete & no longer subject to inspection.
9/ Around the false narrative of ‘#Russian troops in #Ukraine’ #Kiev has built a huge wall of malignant hatred that has cost 1000s of lives.
10/ Is there any way out of this impasse the #US & #Kiev have shoe-horned their way into? Only a change of US government can provide hope.
11/ Though #Trump is a loose cannon threatening to install torture methods far worse than waterboarding he may be the best hope for resolution.
#US FOREIGN POLICY.
1/ A lot can be said about #US foreign policy over the past 50 years but essentially it was brutal, inefficient & counterproductive.
2/ #US foreign policy has been surprisingly ill-informed considering the intelligence-gathering resources at #Washington's disposal.
3/ #US foreign policy is 100% driven by political imperatives regarding national interests rather than a concept of objective universal good
4/ #US foreign policy is decided upon by a small coterie of elite entities who always espouse pure motives but merely use these as cover.
5/ The people of the #USA have been relatively easy to manipulate by their state institutions for a variety of reasons.
6/ The geographical distances involved in the #USA mean that the population can be almost hermetically sealed from objective reality.
7/ Press & media in the #USA tend to be conservative in ownership & intent & lend themselves to promulgating the #US state narrative.
8/ As psychological manipulation became the norm in advertising so #US intel agencies also began employing these methods against #US pop.
9/ Thus the #USA is not in fact the most free society but the most manipulated & controlled, albeit within a subtle political dictatorship.
10/ #US foreign policy has shown itself incapable of resolving any major contentious situation since #WWII, only serving to exacerbate them.
11/ Pretense of noble intent is perhaps the most stomach-turning area of the thinly-veiled hypocrisy that is inherent in #US foreign policy.
12/ #US leaders mouth barely-concealed lies about opponents while posturing arrogantly on the world stage as saintly paragons of virtue.
WESTERN MASS MEDIA.
1/ Can we still call what western mass media outlets do, when western national or corporate interests are at stake, journalism?
2/ If we look at reporting of the crisis in #Ukraine we plainly see only one side of the story being told. That which suits west's narrative
3/ Western mainstream media appears to get behind every story that might possibly back up the interests of western states or corporations.
4/ Taking #Ukraine as an example western publics are extremely badly served by mainstream outlets such as the @BBC & @CNN.
5/ #Ukraine is a real mess & in addition has been randomly targeting civilians for over 2 years. If you watch @BBC or @CNN you wouldn’t know
6/ We’ve seen western mainstream media get behind western state narratives before. Most recently in #Iraq & #Libya.
7/ Historically the embedding of reporters w/ western troops in #Iraq was a significant step in the taming of actual journalism in the west.
8/ With reporters attending daily briefings #US military & @CIA attained a primary goal, to control the narrative & strictly in their favor.
9/ Being able to manipulate the story is multi-faceted. The #west also uses seeded stories where an element of truth is embedded in lies.
10/ The effectiveness of the seeded story depends on several factors, one is a close relationship with all #western mass media outlets.
11/ Secondly, stories can be manufactured & then seeded far from source (@CIA) & far from source-identification & made to seem genuine.
12/ Direct debasing of reporters & editors by the @CIA has also been carried out, by means of payments, pressure, or other means as needed.
13/ The @CIA’s ‘Operation Mockingbird’ was used to infiltrate & control the narrative of every major #US news outlet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird …
13/ Seeded stories, close contact with all major “news” outlets & the various #BlackOps #Psyops units are all used to attain US state goals.
14/ In all aforementioned ways western mass media has become prostituted to the #US & #EU state apparatus & is now completely untrustworthy
15/ These are the reasons it is no surprise western mass media supports state terror in #Ukraine & is a rabid dog on the subject of #Russia.
THE NEOCONS.
1/ The advent of the #Neocons brought additional venom & extreme irresponsibility to #US foreign policy.
2/ The #Neocons have an “all means possible” & “all risks tolerable” approach to change creation, to 'regime change'.
3/ To the #Neocons destruction, violence & total chaos are not conditions to avoid but rather tools to instigate desired outcomes.
4/ Chaos, no matter how great, is preferable to the #Neocon mentality than a status quo within a country which has a regime they abhor.
5/ To #Neocons regime change is a necessary consequence where a country indicates unwillingness to accept #US dominance, control & direction
6/ Regime change for #Neocons is unequivocally a standard tool irrespective of the degree of death, destruction & chaos it may cause.
7/ The #Neocons can be compared to alchemists in their blind faith that chaos will ultimately ferment & distill into western-style consensus
8/ #Neocons believe in setting the cat among the pigeons in geopolitical terms holding the concept violent change always preferable to none.
9/ #Neocons use the ‘believable lie’ tactic to manipulate populations thru mass emotion, guided predominantly by believable threats & fears.
10/ How many #Neocons are Born Again Christians who care little or nothing for the fate of earthly objects or physical bodies? A moot point.
11/ When the #Neocons are energized by a window of opportunity ushering in regime change & wish to “bring it on” do they think ‘Armageddon’?
THE #WEST IN GENERAL
1/ The #West is not wholly bad, however there are major attributes which left to enlarge would certainly be destructive across a wide range.
2/ The #West as a whole increasingly has an ersatz #American culture arising from the synthetic culture engendered by business interests.
3/ Thru psychological manipulation of materialist desire original western cultures are being subsumed, degraded & replaced with the ersatz.
4/ By a variety of means, some by intent, others somewhat accidental original western cultures are being diluted, made irrelevant & replaced
5/ In #Europe the advent of the #EU superstate has quickened the process of diminution of original cultures by smothering individual voices.
6/ Through the institution of the #EU & the long-term cancer of #US presence within #Europe populations are further molded & manipulated.
7/ Since the end of #WWII #US embassies have acted as hubs with which to infiltrate & manipulate every aspect of #European politics.
8/ With the ongoing crisis in #Ukraine we see the depth to which the #US has infiltrated every level of #European political life via the #EU
9/ The #BREXIT campaign in the #UK will be being watched with much anxiety in #Washington as they see a very real threat to their control.
10/ The 'special relationship' between the #USA & #Britain was in reality that of master & servant. Now made deeper & stronger via the #EU.
11/ To extricate the #US from within the political networks of #Europe as difficult as eliminating terminal cancer in last days of a patient
12/ The malignant cancer of the #US state posing as a helpful, beneficial agent within #Europe MUST be removed or nations must exit #EU.
THE #BRICS.
1/ The #BRICS family ought to use all possible means to avoid Americanization of their cultures & refuse to go down this road.
2/ The #BRICS can preserve the very best of the inherent attributes of their populations which currently risk being lost to Americanization.
3/ The potential for the #BRICS is to create an infrastructure where co-operation, arbitration & wise compromise replace #western wars.
4/ Bringing to bear the need of the Chinese leadership for stability & sustainable development with other #BRICS aspirations can bring peace
5/ The arrogant patrician desire for dominion over others by the #US & @EU MUST be curbed by the #BRICS for good order to prevail.
6/ The delinquent behaviour of prideful, ignornace-fuelled #US elites has led us to the brink of catastrophe. A new & better way beckons...
7/ Some will mourn the passing of #US dominance, those who clung fastest to its violent, gaudy-colored, fast-sinking, poison-leaking ship.
8/ The #BRICS can rise as #US #EU entity descends. No amount of sticking plasters can possibly heal #west's gaping, self-inflicted wounds.
9/ #Western mentality evidenced by disasters in #Iraq & #Libya is adolescent. #BRICS mentality by comparison reflects maturity & adulthood.
10/ #BRICS Our hope for a saner world.
Brilliance Respect Intelligence Caution Sustainability.
