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) - 3rd July 2023:
‘Neoliberalism biggest threat to the world’ – Syria’s first lady.
Eastern societies are best-prepared to resist, Asma Assad told RT.
The first lady of Syria, Asma Assad, visited Moscow this week, as her eldest son, Hafez, graduated from Moscow State University (MSU). Hafez received a master’s degree with honors from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, with Asma attending the ceremony.
During her visit, the first lady appeared on RT Arabic’s Newsmaker program, speaking about cultural exchange issues, close ties between Syria and Russia, as well as challenges the two counties face.
The two nations have been facing similar problems for decades already, both subjected to mounting foreign pressure, as well as open attempts of economic blockade and efforts to “establish control over them,” she said.
“However, a universal and a large-scale challenge for the whole world is the threat of Neoliberalism, which is being imposed on all peoples. The main purpose of this, of course, is to blur not only national identity, but very human identity, as well as all its constituent elements, such as patriotism, traditions and customs,” Asma stated.
The traditional values, furthermost, are preserved within the family, which should become the pillar for “dialogue between the youth of the whole world,” Syria’s first lady believes.
That is specifically the case for “our Eastern societies, since it is those societies that are directly threatened and, at the same time, are most capable to withstand this attack due to the culture, morality and values that they have,” she added.
The first lady was also asked about the latest developments in Russia, namely the recent short-lived insurrection by the Wagner Group PMC, which occurred shortly before her visit. Asma, however, said the affair did not affect her resolve to visit the country altogether.
“Russian friends supported us without hesitation during the war that was going on in our country. Therefore, we have also unhesitatingly supported and will continue to support our friends in their struggles,” she stressed.

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.

UKRAINE: HARD FACTS ON THE GROUND WILL ALWAYS, EVENTUALLY, TRUMP MEDIA/POLITICAL SPIN
The first signs that the leadership of the collective west are beginning to accept a Russian victory in Ukraine are emerging. Talk of resumed relations with Russia have now been uttered by certain British political figures including its prime minister. Reality is beginning to be recognised and there appears to be a realisation also that political humiliation awaits those who DO NOT recognise and acknowledge it in time.
When Russia set itself free of the constraints put upon it by the western powers it became free to assert its rights protecting its national interests within its local sphere of influence.
The virtual stranglehold that western power has had over the world in general has been vastly loosened in recent years. Vladimir Putin set the guidelines in Munich in February of 2007 and in February of 2022 set the seal on Russia's final escape from western dominance. China has belatedly joined the fight against western domination also.
Other nations are increasingly joining Russia and China against the previously overwhelming western influence due to the fast waning western power to harm them. Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Syria for example. Others still, who until recently could be considered strong or relatively secure western/U.S. allies or at least friendly/neutral toward these are now wary of commitment or are increasingly negative. Saudi Arabia, Turkey and India are a notable examples.
The western powers sought to exercise their accustomed ability to shape global events in response to Russia’s special military operation on February 24th 2022. The expectation was that the western powers would wreak havoc on the Russian economy through the mother of all sanctions policies. However, Russia had clearly prepared the ground carefully as we have seen. The Russian economy is now on a steady upturn with low inflation and the establishment of new providers of resources to Russian industry and new markets for Russian products and services.
The situation we now find ourselves in is quite extraordinary. What was supposed to be a devastating series of economic and financial attacks meant to render Russia a bankrupt supplicant crawling to the West for mercy has instead resulted in an outcome that has turned the tables completely on the West. It is the western world that reels in agony with successive boomerang blows from a its wholly counteractive sanctions policy against Russia.
Meanwhile, as the West rather than Russia succumbs to economic and financial turmoil, Russia’s campaign in Ukraine is very close to achieving its goals. Concurrently the Russian economy is beginning to prosper, it has a new, robust payments mechanism that has replaced SWIFT, prices have stabilised, Russian entrepreneurs are filling the niches abandoned by western enterprises and new trading partners are being found at what must be an alarming rate for western onlookers.
While all this was going on we had what appeared to some to be the unstoppable rise of Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy, backed by virtually the entire panoply of western powers alongside that of every western mainstream media outlet. Everything possible by way of finances and weaponry was supplied to his regime... yet it has become clear that it was never going to be enough. The recognition of that fact is now beginning to be acknowledged.
Money and weaponry flowed in what appeared to be an endless waterfall into Ukraine. There appeared to be no limit to the help that was to be extended. The sky was the limit. Politicians agreed that Ukraine should receive all it needed with few voices urging any caution or accountability. Western spin machines were working overtime. That of the Ukrainian regime itself was no exception, lies about current and future success poured from it. Whatever stories were required were produced, one following the other to keep the weapon and cash jamboree running at top speed.
Purported atrocities by Russia came one after another, or better said, created for western public consumption. News from the front was adjusted, turned through 180 degrees to produce headlines that gave the right impression and spun the required tale. The Ukrainian fighters were lionised, portrayed as shining heroes bravely combating evil (meanwhile ignoring their torturing of Russian prisoners of war and their use of schools, hospitals and Ukrainian homes as their military bases).
The spin all turned in one direction only, that which was positive for Ukraine and negative for Russia, and that which generated a constant flow of weaponry and money for Ukraine. This was all grist to the western military complex mill. Weapons stocks however began to be rapidly depleted in the USA and across all NATO nations. Very profitable contracts were gleefully signed and the downward graph of profits seen after U.S. military withdrawals in the Middle east quickly reversed.
This circle of advantageous events for both Ukraine and those who profited from the assistance given appeared likely to run successfully until what was talked about as Ukraine’s "victory". That is until the last few weeks when the triumphant PR jamboree bubble began to rapidly deflate. Ukraine, as opposed to triumphantly beating Russia with every passing day in chest-thumping splendour was suddenly and very shockingly perceived in reality to be losing heavily and at a level that could no longer be denied. Its long-trumpeted and triumphantly reported counteroffensive was seen to be a clear failure.
Now with the exposure of the 18 month long campaign of wholesale deception of the western populace, the backlash cannot help but be underway. It is clear that there will be an eventual souring of the relationship of western leaders with Zelensky and with the Ukrainian regime project in general. This in addition to a softening of attitudes toward Russia to alleviate the inevitable humiliating consequences for the political figures across the West who were responsible for this entire debacle.
This all in a matter of a few short weeks where the unmistakable signs of imminent Ukrainian defeat could no longer be avoided or hidden from view.
And the primary moral of this sorry tale?
HARD FACTS ON THE GROUND WILL ALWAYS, EVENTUALLY, TRUMP MEDIA/POLITICAL SPIN
