*** UKRAINE REGIME NEVER HAD ANY CHANCE AGAINST RUSSIA ***
“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.

NATO falling into ‘wartime ecstasy’ – Kremlin.
The US-led bloc has been long-involved in hostilities with Russia despite claiming otherwise, Dmitry Peskov says.
The US-led NATO bloc has not only been directly involved in a confrontation with Russia but is now falling into “wartime ecstasy,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. He was speaking in response to the military bloc’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg advocating the removal of restrictions on use of Western weaponry by Ukraine.
Stoltenberg’s remarks can be only considered as the official stance of the entire US-led military bloc and Russia will respond accordingly, Peskov told the Izvestia newspaper on Monday.
“This cannot be his personal opinion. He is an official, he is the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and that is how we perceive it. NATO is increasing the degree of escalation, NATO is flirting with warlike rhetoric, falling into 'wartime ecstasy.' This is the reality we have to continue to deal with,” Peskov stated.
Subsequent remarks by Stoltenberg that NATO “will not become part of the conflict” were rather “contradictory,” the spokesman noted, given that the military bloc has de facto long been a party to the hostilities and had entered into a direct confrontation with Russia.
NATO is directly involved in the conflict.
On Friday, Stoltenberg urged NATO allies to lift restrictions on Kiev’s use of Western-supplied weaponry against Russia. “To deny Ukraine the possibility of using these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory makes it very hard for them to defend themselves,” he argued.
“The time has come for allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they have put on the use of weapons they have donated to Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said, in an interview with The Economist.
However, on Sunday he insisted that “NATO will not become part of the conflict.” The bloc has no plans to send in troops or to protect Kiev through extending “NATO’s air-defense shield to Ukraine,” the NATO chief told Germany’s Welt am Sonntag.
Moscow has long rejected NATO’s rhetoric about its role in the conflict and the supposed restrictions on the use of Western-supplied munitions for striking deep into Russian territory. Such talk is merely designed to maintain the illusion that the West is not part of the conflict, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.
“We proceed from the fact that American and other Western weaponry strikes targets on the territory of Russia, primarily civilian infrastructure and residential areas,” the top diplomat told reporters on Friday.

Ruble strengthens to five-month high.
The currency has been rallying due to increased sales of foreign earnings by exporters.
The Russian ruble continued to strengthen against major currencies on Monday, jumping to its highest level against the dollar since late January, trading data from the Moscow Exchange (MOEX) shows.
The ruble reached 88.4 to the US dollar as of 8:30am GMT, its highest point rate since January 30. It also gained against the European single currency, trading at around 96 to the euro, also a five-month high.
Analysts note that the Russian currency has been strengthening over the past week amid higher sales of foreign currency earnings by exporters ahead of ruble-denominated dividend payments this week, and tax payments.

The ruble has also been supported by expectations that the Central Bank will maintain its tight monetary policy, and could introduce another interest rate hike this year. The regulator has held the key interest rate at 16% since December to restrain inflation, which is nearly double the target level. The deputy head of the central bank, Aleksey Zabotkin, said last week that the regulator may decide to raise the rate at a meeting in June.
Analysts have also partially attributed the strong ruble to the delayed effect of an $18.8 billion trade surplus that Russia saw in March, the highest figure since January 2022.

Rafah refugee camp strike a ‘tragic mistake’ – Netanyahu.
A probe has been launched into the IDF targeting process, the Israeli leader said.
Israel has launched an investigation after at least 45 Palestinian refugees were killed in a Sunday IDF strike on the overcrowded southern Gazan city of Rafah.
According to ABC News, shrapnel from the strike had ignited a fuel tank 100 meters away from the intended target, creating a large fire at an encampment housing displaced people.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged the civilian deaths in a speech to Israel’s parliament on Monday. “Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, last night there was a tragic mistake,” he said, as quoted by the Associated Press. “We are investigating the incident and will obtain a conclusion because this is our policy.”
The IDF previously said that the strike in the Tel Sultan area had killed two senior Hamas officials, including the commander of the Palestinian militant group’s West Bank headquarters.
In a separate statement, the Israeli army insisted that it had taken “many steps to reduce the chance of harming uninvolved [civilians], including aerial surveillance, the use of precision munitions, and additional intelligence information.” It added that “no harm was expected to uninvolved civilians.”
The Times of Israel cited an IDF source as saying that two missiles with a “reduced in size” warhead were used in the strike.
The incident adds to international pressure on Israel for a comprehensive ceasefire in Gaza or to at least scale down operations in the densely populated Palestinian enclave. French President Emmanuel Macron wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that he was “outraged” by the deaths of refugees. A spokesperson for the US National Security Council called the images emerging from Rafah “heartbreaking” and urged West Jerusalem to “take every precaution possible to protect civilians.”
While the IDF denies targeting civilians of purpose, it acknowledged lapses in its targeting process in the past, including an attack on an aid convoy last month that left seven foreign nationals dead.
In his speech on Monday, Netanyahu vowed to continue the fight against Hamas. “If we surrender, we will deliver a great victory to terrorism, to Iran, and to the entire axis of evil — those who wish us dead,” he said.
More than 36,000 Palestinians have been killed in more than seven months of fighting, according to local Hamas-run authorities. Israel declared war on Hamas after the militants raided southern Israeli cities on October 7, leaving some 1,200 people dead and taking more than 200 hostages. Dozens of captives were subsequently released as part of prisoner exchanges during a weeklong truce in November.

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 U.S. GLOBAL PROJECT AND HOW IT ALL WENT SO HORRIBLY WRONG
On paper the plan was seen as foolproof. It was imperative that they succeed. With no Plan B or reverse gear, & despite every failure, the global project HAD to be taken to its ultimate conclusion...
The way they looked at it there were only two major powers they had to take down. After these two were taken care of the rest could be mopped up with ease. In the typically simplistic style of the most extreme geopolitical planners it seemed eminently doable. After all, the USA was the greatest power the world had ever known and had a sizable number of allies that could hardly say no to its project. Others, who were more unaligned would surely be made to fall into line if the situation was made so extreme that they had little other choice.
The plan was quite simple in the case of the first of the two major targets. Step up the pressure until it broke and reacted in such a fashion that it could be easily demonized as the biggest bad guy since, well, you name it. This process had been well under way before the final weights of procedural torment and pressure creation were applied in late 2021. Everything went to plan to that point. Target One did the dirty required of it and steered toward it for almost a decade beforehand. Now all the was necessary was to spread the hate and loathing campaign far and wide. The allies would be onside, no question of that. But what of the others, the non-aligned?
India, the most powerful of the non-aligned would surely see what an utterly dastardly deed had been perpetrated by Target One. She would come onside. The geoplanners were extremely confident this would be the case. Their own broadside on the target alongside that of Europe and the UK would surely be added to by India. What a surprise then when India proved to be unsure whether this would be good for them economically. How dare they think of themselves when the unconscionable horror of what had been done by Target One should overcome all such selfish thoughts? A crime against humanity was underway. Couldn’t they see that? All these blandishments however, were all to no avail.
Not only did India refuse to fire its own broadsides into Target One along with the USA and its allies it actually began trading in ever greater measure with it. There can be no doubt that the geoplanners in Washington were utterly shocked, amazed and immensely angered by this unexpected turn of events. Germany and others in Europe had gone along with the plan. The UK with enthusiasm. Poland and the Baltic States were all gung-ho and Let’s go! about it. India was not to be the only naysayer however, another “dependable” friend went rogue, Saudi Arabia. What the hell was happening here the geoplanners back in the States no doubt yelled. This wasn’t how things were meant to go. It was all meant to go easy and entirely to plan.
As time went on it became clear to see that Target One was becoming stronger, not weaker. More than that almost every one of the co-planners in Europe were becoming weaker. Alongside these eventualities the U.S. debt mountain was reaching Everest proportions heading toward $35,000,000,000,000. Flowing money toward the Trap Nation that Target One was driven to invade was reaching ridiculous levels and would top $175,000,000,000 before soaring on to money pit stratosphere. Doubling and trebling down wasn’t working; however, things were only getting worse. None of this was meant to happen. The forever war geoplanners must surely be reeling at this point. So, what to do? Quadruple down of course.
Like the most fervent gamblers in Los Vegas there would, they thought, come a time when always doubling up would bring about the win that would make everything worthwhile. Yet to date there is no evidence that the situation in the Trap Nation can be turned around. All that seems to happen is that the ‘house’ is simply winning bigger each and every time the western gamblers place another bet. Meanwhile, Target Two is creating the same kind of defenses that Target One put in place once it became obvious what the USA and its allies were planning. Every hour that target One grows stronger rather than weaker creates the time necessary for Target Two to safeguard itself from attack.
The USA’s global project has gone horribly wrong. Back home infrastructure is in terrible shape. A revolution is underway against the U.S.A.’s protection of Friend One in the Middle East that is clearly seen to be committing mass murder, crimes far worse than anything Target One ever committed. A blight of drug taking is littering U.S. streets with doped up zombies with trash strewn right and left in a hellish, nightmare distortion of the long faded American Dream. The land of opportunity is seen to be turning into the land of iniquity. A chaos of woke anarchy and deviant sexuality has the nation in a death grip.
What was meant to usher in The Great American Century has instead brought about The Great American Depravity. Nations across the globe are curling their lip and looking toward the great nations of the world who have retained their love of traditional lifestyles and culture. This is epitomized in the advent and rise and rise of the BRICS group with now around forty nations queuing up to join it. The Great Project lies in tatters rather than Target One and Target Two who are going from strength to strength. None of this was meant to happen. So, what’s the plan now? What’s the final roll of the dice of the nation and its proxies who have lost so very big and who have seen their Great Project fail so miserably?
