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) - 21st June 2023:
‘We need Russia, and Russia needs us’ – former Reagan adviser to RT.
Talking is easier and cheaper than using weapons, Suzanne Massie says.
The US and Russia must find a way to resume dialogue as good bilateral relations are vital for both countries, Suzanne Massie, a scholar of Russian history who advised the administration of Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, has told RT.
Massie, who is considered to have played an important role in efforts to end the Cold War, said in an interview on Tuesday that her desire is now to help Washington and Moscow start talking again. “I believe that we [the US] need Russia, and Russia needs us,” Massie argued.
The two countries “should go and find a way to get back to discussing something else besides war,” the former adviser insisted, referring to the conflict in Ukraine. Russia has described the fighting in the neighboring country as a “proxy war” waged by the Americans and their allies against Moscow.
“It’s a lot easier and a lot cheaper [to talk] than to use weapons,” the 92-year-old added.

Massie, who first visited the Soviet Union in the 1960s, has been studying Russia and writing about it all her life. She described St. Petersburg, where she owns a small apartment, as a “home away from home.”
The American scholar has published five books on Russia, including ‘Land of the Firebird: The Beauty of Old Russia’, which is said to have impressed President Reagan and sparked his own interest in Russia.

Massie said that her recent decision to pass her whole archive over to the Russian Presidential Library in St. Petersburg was part of her efforts to mend ties between the US and Russia.

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.

THE BIG BULLY’S BASTARD SON HAS LET THE FAMILY DOWN
The Ukrainian regime is failing to achieve the West’s goals. In fact the regime is getting punched out of the ring currently. Zelensky and his spoilt brats call and call for their “father” to come and help them, but while the brats whine, composite Big Daddy is starting to lose patience and instead of shouting his “son” on is beginning to get irritated with him and is now naming his flaws and faults. Sonny Boy, enraged by this, now wants to kick his Daddy in the shins. Meanwhile, the target of both their venomous rage has the beginnings of a very broad smile on his face.
Let’s face it, the Ukrainian regime is losing hand over fist. Its gamble, believing with the West behind it, it was invincible, was seen as a ‘sure thing’. Unhappily for the Kiev regime and due to its negligence in not studying the West’s recent failures in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Syria more closely, now finds itself being prodded in the back toward the entrance to a massive meat grinder. The regime has no one to blame but itself however. Being a poor student it failed to understand that the motivation of the “enemy” along with its resources was far stronger than it even in combination with a western world used to attempting its military victories on the cheap.
The West, with its ‘Coalition of the Willing’ learnt its expensive lesson in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Boots on the ground meant great loss of both blood AND treasure. That era was over after both wars backed by invasions became ultra-expensive debacles. They would use others to fight their battles now. And so it was in Syria and Yemen, and in regard to the U.S, Libya too. Things were going to be done on the cheap now. Too bad for the regime in Kiev. It made a fatal mistake, that is abundantly clear at this point and despite the “heroic” efforts of western mass media to paint an eternally rosy picture of its chances.
Look. The big bully of the West is now showing clear signs of exasperation. But this too is inappropriate. That bully didn’t realise it was passed its prime. It failed to understand that its time had passed and that its notions of overwhelming power were out of date. Did it make some effort to educate itself regarding these new circumstances? Apparently not. Its ignorance of the nations it perceived as enemies appears to have been profound. In the case of Ukraine it totally underestimated the resolve and capacity of Vladimir Putin and Russia to fight off all threats to them. And not only that but to effect serious damage on them by using their own misused strengths against them.
It is well known that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is well versed in the martial arts of Asia. He knows exactly how to approach a fight, analysing the various strengths of his opponent. He has the acumen in these matters to minimise his own efforts while exploiting those of his opponent. Those who stand against such a man should take the time to estimate him in the minutest detail. It is abundantly clear to all and sundry now that neither the Zelensky regime, the European powers, the British goons nor the reptilian yankee warmongers did. And now they will pay the full entrance fee to this debacle of their own making.
The art of war takes meticulous study. There are many masters from whom excellent, incisive advice based on decades of study can be gleaned. Waterfalls of PR facades where sham victories are announced with great fanfare simply won’t cut it. Not next to an army acting as a human meat grinder they won't. For those whose intent was to look deeply in an attempt to learn the realities rather than exploit fantasies, this was clear from the start. Of course no war is ever TOTALLY one-sided where the winning side makes not a single error. Errors there have been on both sides. But the side making by far the most errors and where the other side has massively more resources, is destined from the get go, to lose.
Russia has thumbed its nose at the Big Bully of the West and lived to tell the tale.
Sent to face Russia the Big Bully’s whining and ever-needy son has been no match for her. She will now proceed to wipe the floor with this weedy stick Zelensky and his snarling Nazi clones. There can now be no doubt even among the chest-beating redneck neocons such as the Nuland numptie. This thing is over. Your squealing, pitifully demanding, spoiled little no neck, is about to be taken in a head lock.
Will the West let its mini monster die? I suspect it will. It will simply turn its back on the brat and seek its next victim to bully. Will it make a wiser choice next time?
I doubt it.
