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.

Israel fires shells at Lebanon.
The Israeli military says that its artillery is responding to mortar attacks.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that they have carried out artillery stirkes on the territory of Lebanon in response to mortar attacks from across the border.
The shelling was reported on Sunday morning, a day after Hamas and other Palestinian groups launched a large-scale assault on Israeli cities and army bases from the Gaza strip.
“The IDF has been taking preparational measures for this type of possibility and will continue to operate in all regions and at any time necessary to ensure the safety of the Israeli civilians,” the army said in a statement carried by the Times of Israel.
The shells that had earlier been fired from the Lebanese territory reportedly hit an Israeli military site in the contested Shebaa Farms.
The IDF said its “artillery is currently striking the area in Lebanon from where a shooting was carried out.”
Al Arabiya reported that the Israeli shelling had targeted an area near the village of Kafar Shuba in southern Lebanon. There were no casualties as a result of the strikes, it added.
Later on Sunday, Lebanese movement Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attack on Shebaa Farms, Reuters reported, citing a statement by the group.
Three Israeli military posts, including a “radar site,” were targeted, Hezbollah said, adding that it had acted “in solidarity” with the Palestinian people.
The Shebaa Farms area, which has been occupied by Israel since 1967, is claimed by Lebanon as part of its territory.
In a later message on X (formerly Twitter), the IDF said it had also targeted the facilities of Hezbollah in Shebaa Farms with a drone.
The UN peacekeeping force on the Israeli-Lebanese border, UNIFIL, said in a statement that it had detected several rockets fired from southeast Lebanon toward Israeli-occupied territory near Kafar Shuba, and artillery barrages from Israel in response.
“We urge everyone to exercise restraint and make use of UNIFIL’s liaison and coordination mechanisms to de-escalate to prevent a fast deterioration of the security situation,” the statement read.
After Palestinian group Hamas launched its surprise attack on Israel on Saturday, Hezbollah issued a statement congratulating “the resisting Palestinian people” on what it called a “large-scale, heroic operation.”
It was “decisive response to Israel’s continued occupation and a message to those seeking normalization with Israel,” the group stated.
Hezbollah said it was closely following the situation and remained in “direct contact with the leadership of the Palestinian resistance.”

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 : THE FUNDAMENTAL ERRORS
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #1
The USA ought not to have interfered in Ukraine’s internal political and social dynamics, which it did for 20 years before the Maidan riots.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #2.
USA & EU took an undemocratic and immoral stance in cheering on the minority mob of ultra-violent thugs on the Maidan.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #3.
USA & EU were fully cognizant of the fact that in their destabilisation of Ukraine Russia would be hugely provoked.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #4.
After the USA's pre-arranged stooges were installed in Kiev. Then Merkel & others within the EU elites willingly sanitized the illegal coup that had taken place.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #5.
The Kiev coup leaders then enlisted the most violent & hate-filled of the Neo-Nazi Maidan thugs into its army and sent them east to kill those they despised.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #6.
Faith in the democratic process was the lynchpin holding the two extremely disparate parts of Ukraine together. The USA & EU helped smash it on Maidan.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #7.
When, predictably, seeing the lynchpin of democracy smashed, the people of the east rose up, terrorist violence was used against them.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #8.
There was zero recognition by USA, EU & Kiev that the rights of the people of the Donbass had been subverted or to acknowledge this.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #9.
The sending of an army part-composed of Maidan Neo-Nazi thugs to the east, whose belief-system named people of the east, sub-human was an evil act.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #10.
When the NeoNazi-infected army began shelling civilian homes, hospitals & schools from May 2014 it was unconscionably callous for USA, EU and UN to ignore the fact.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #11.
To assume that a grassroots occupy-movement in the east could be crushed by intimidation & ultra-violence as was the case on Maidan, was a gross error.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #12.
To not realise there would be a predictable blowback of resistance to the mass killing of civilians and destruction of their homes, hospitals and schools was mind-bogglingly stupid.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #13.
To massively underestimate the extent to which many Russians would commit to helping those under attack, again ridiculous stupidity.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #14.
For western press & media to ignore the obvious war crimes of Ukraine, leading Kiev to be emboldened to commit even more, a callous and in fact evil act.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #15.
For West & Kiev, instead of confronting the reality of a local, regional revolt, to create a smokescreen cover-story about Russia, the height of duplicity.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #16.
For USA & EU to continually support and even praise, clear evidence of state terrorism by the Ukrainian coup leaders an indicator of how degraded US state is.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #17.
For the West to talk in terms of poor Ukraine, as a victim, when in fact it was acting as a vicious predator, shows US state as willing to lie repeatedly.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #18.
USA, EU and the UN turning a blind eye month after month to civilian casualties without insisting a ceasefire be called to save lives, acts of inhumanity.
Ukraine. Fundamental Error #19.
Arguably above all other errors, the West abandoned all its precious moral principles & integrity by complicity with Ukraine’s crimes against humanity.
