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.

Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 18th July 2023:
Putin vows retaliation for new Crimean Bridge strike.
The blast was yet another “pointless and brutal” terrorist attack by the Kiev regime, the Russian president said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed retaliation for a new overnight strike on the Crimean Bridge, targeted by two Ukrainian naval drones. Precise measures are currently being weighed up by the country’s Defense Ministry, he said, during an extraordinary meeting with senior officials on Monday.
“The incident is a yet another terrorist attack by the Kiev regime. This crime is pointless from the military point of view, since the Crimean Bridge has long not been used for military transport, and brutal, since only innocent civilians were killed and injured,” the president stressed.
Putin said Moscow would retaliate harshly for the attack. The Russian Defense Ministry is already preparing “necessary proposals” for such measures, he added.
The president also urged officials to ramp up security measures around the bridge, noting that this marks the second such blow against it. Both the road and railway sections were heavily damaged last October, when a truck packed with explosives was detonated on it.
“I am waiting for specific proposals to improve the security of this strategically important transport facility,” Putin added.
The vital transport link received considerable damage in the new attack, with one of its road sections “completely destroyed,” Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, tasked with organizing repairs to the structure, said during the meeting. However, he told the president that the bridge’s pillars had not been damaged in the blast.
“That’s good news. If we can speak about some good news here at all. But the fact that the pillars are not damaged is the most important thing,” Putin replied.
The morning blasts, believed to have been caused by seaborne drones, killed two Russian civilians who were traveling across the bridge in a vehicle, and left their now orphaned 14-year-old daughter injured.

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.

WORLD WAR III: THE END GAME WAR
What are the U.S. elites & their allies seeking to gain through their diplomacy-free policy toward China, Russia and their allies?
What is the ultimate goal?
Where is their constant bellicosity leading?
What is the end game we are facing?
For just over two decades now a war has been waged in full view but totally unannounced.
It was never once declared but it is real enough. Many have been surprised at its ferocity & the fact that no diplomacy took place or was ever called for by the side waging it.
This unannounced, undeclared war has been fought not only by the US & European politicians. It has been fought also by the entirety of western mass media. These three powerful elites have fought side by side for twenty years against their primary targets, China and all its allies, including, of course, Russia.
Western elites are in a relentless pursuit of multiple regime change targets to avoid their global patrician dominance being eclipsed by China and its allies. The goal of the war far exceeds damaging/destroying China and Russia however. It has a far more ambitious goal than even this.
The goal is none other than complete global U.S. control in tandem with all allies within its orbit.
The USA won't stand alone at the apex of a new, controlled world. Its primary ally Britain will be there also, bowing low & taking commands as usual. All the USA’s other allies will take somewhat lesser positions.
The rest of us?
We will be supervised VERY closely until we submit.
In waging the end game war there are to be no loose ends. There are to be no unaccounted for communications. All must be visible, known, supervised & certified safe within an environment of total oversight. In short, of full spectrum dominance by the USA and its allies.
If there is any gap in global dominance it will be flagged for attention and dealt with, bringing it in line with all other protocols designed to ensure total security for the USA. The level of response will be applied rigorously using all necessary means.
9/11 bored deep into the traumatised skulls of all those who would now enslave the rest of the world for the sake of America. This added an additional layer on top of what was a previously existing demand that the world acknowledge global U.S. hegemony.
The war against those not in full compliance with U.S. wishes has been ongoing since the events of 9/11 took place.
However, it was only in 2007 that the present level of urgency was felt & first seen regarding Russia via the initiation of persistent & ever-growing attacks by mass media on Vladimir Putin after his Munich speech of that year.
Ultimately the plan requires that everyone be monitored 24/7 using GPS positioning of the telecommunications of the entire human race from space.
The USA has had a messianic desire to teach the world how good it is & urge its systems to be followed by all others almost since the day it was founded. A sense of superiority has prevailed for a number of reasons within group-thought myopia of self-interested mythologies. As time passed this rose to the levels seen in modern times where the concept of being exceptional rose to a peak.
The western world is already monitored to a high degree.
It began with CCTV, continued with personal detail collection. It surged forward via the internet and the mobile phone. Now with seamless systems collecting each call, text, email with the location visited, purchase made & so much more. Big data grows bigger daily.
Before 9/11 it appeared that the majority in the USA had more or less accepted the world as it was. The feeling of superiority continued, though the desire to transform the world in its image abated somewhat, assuaged by the "successful" conclusion of the Cold War.
9/11 changed EVERYTHING.
It is true Neocons existed before 9/11 along with their concept of overall US superiority & their goal & determination to ensure ultimate US control in perpetuity. However, it took 9/11 to make the crucial difference between a plan & action.
In the days after 9/11, it was agreed at the highest possible level that there could be no more ignoring potential threats.
Each statement indicating a less than positive view of the USA & US foreign policy was to be noted for present & ongoing future attention.
In those meetings after 9/11, it was decided that every single negative factor seen anywhere worldwide, any individual in authority & any government deigning to express negativity toward the U.S.A. was to be a target for undermining & eventual elimination.
There were to be no exceptions.
No targets too small, or too large. Meticulously detailed files were to be scrupulously kept. Programs of demonisation & destabilisation were to be carefully planned & executed. The 9/11 security project was to have the highest priority.
The 9/11 protocols are set in stone till the day full spectrum dominance dawns. No president can alter them. They are sacrosanct, untouchable, immutable, inviolate. The determination to make the USA the permanent global hegemon in an equally permanent unipolar world cannot be countermanded.
The phrase 'Full Spectrum Dominance' provides the key to the ultimate goal being pursued.
9/11 showed US elites they MUST have this level of control to ever feel secure again. It was imperative that not one single entity voicing negativity toward the U.S. remained.
Full Spectrum Dominance demands that ALL sources of power anywhere across the world be subject to US preeminence.
Every area of potential risk for the U.S. is required to be under its full control via deep & broad levels of surveillance & the ability to nullify all adverse entities quickly.
One of the first areas to come under the Full Spectrum Dominance umbrella was western mass media.
Its power to influence a majority of Americans & Europeans was & is enormous. It is a vital asset to smooth the path of the many regime change targets planned for. ‘Operation Mockingbird’, the CIA op to control U.S. and international media and to make it reflect U.S. state narratives is more active now than ever.
Manufacturing consent for U.S. aggression toward the rest of the world has become an industry.
The closest parallels are with public relations & propaganda. To achieve global domination with all it entails the masses have to be well-groomed to demonstrate compliance.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya & Syria were only the first few of a much longer list of nations. Iran, Lebanon, Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Somalia, Yemen and others still await their full preliminary weakening and ultimate regime change fate.
All operations are ongoing simultaneously at different levels and stages. These operations are progressing consecutively in tandem as circumstances allow. The ultimate target is China however as it, far more than any other nation, presents the greatest challenge to U.S. and western elite hegemony.
The dominance planned for will be TOTAL if it is accomplished.
For the U.S. and its elites, this is a necessity that brooks no compromise. There will be no diplomacy, nothing which hinders the process. No barrier is to be countenanced, not even a worldwide pandemic. Sanctions and other means of financial terrorism are to be ongoing, even increased.
There is to be no thought given to the detriment to others by the enforcement of this policy. For these elites consider the priority of safeguarding America to be too high for any such considerations. In fact, any pain suffered by China, Russia or any of their allies is to be actively increased by any means possible.
The power junkies integral to the western way of life are losing their fix. Western patrician dominance, being centuries old and deeply ingrained within western culture, the elites of the western world can’t conceive of living without it.
The cold turkey involved would utterly destroy them along with any hope they have of achieving the full spectrum dominance they believe imperative in their goal of keeping America safe.
Therefore they are determined to destroy whoever they need to to avoid this scenario.
Thus we are living through WORLD WAR III: THE END GAME WAR.
