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.

Sanctions, estimated Ukrainian losses and Russia’s nuclear arsenal: Key takeaways from Putin’s Valdai speech.
The Russian leader spoke on a variety of topics during the session with international experts in Sochi.
Russian President Vladimir Putin attended a session of the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi on Thursday, where he delivered a keynote speech and took questions from the audience.
During the event, which lasted for nearly four hours, Putin shared his thoughts on a wide array of issues, including the Ukraine conflict, the recent flare-up in Nagorno-Karabakh, and the role of the West in the origins of current tensions.
Putin also outlined his vision for a more fair and equitable model of international relations, and provided an update on Russia’s nuclear arsenal.
West ‘pillaging’ the world
Western countries have accumulated their riches and influence through centuries of “endless expansion,” colonialism, and economic exploitation, Putin claimed.
He argued that the model, built on subjugation and blatant disregard of other nations' legitimate interests, is the source of contemporary tensions and will “inevitably lead us into a dead end.”Outlook for ‘new world order’
Putin outlined six principles of international relations Russia wants to see as the foundation of a “more equitable world order.” These include the rejection of “artificial barriers” between countries and opposition to a single power dictating its will.
“Nobody has the right to control the world at the expense of others or in their name,” Putin said.Russia not seeking ‘new territories’
According to Putin, Russia is focused on protecting the people of Donbass and Crimea in the conflict with Ukraine, rather than “looking for new territories.” He reiterated that the current crisis was triggered by the 2014 Western-backed coup in Kiev, which empowered Ukrainian nationalists and was rejected in Crimea. The largely Russian-speaking peninsula voted to break away from Ukraine and join Russia the same year, while the Donbass regions of Donetsk and Lugansk declared independence from Kiev.
The two Donbass republics, along with Kherson and Zaporozhye regions, eventually became part of Russia after holding referendums in September 2022.Ukraine’s staggering battlefield losses
The Russian leader said that Moscow estimates that more than 90,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed or seriously wounded during the “so-called counteroffensive,” which was launched in early June. Kiev’s forces also lost 557 tanks and roughly 1,900 armored vehicles, he claimed.
The Ukrainian authorities do not release their total casualty figures, and neither does Russia.Moscow ‘overcame’ sanctions
Russia has successfully reshaped its economy towards self-sufficiency and new markets since the EU and US first imposed restrictions on Moscow in 2014.
“We overcame all problems, which arose from the sanctions, and started the next stage of development,” Putin said.Nagorno-Karabakh clash was ‘inevitable’
The president dismissed accusations that Moscow abandoned its ally Armenia when Azerbaijan re-established control over its breakaway ethnic Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh last month. Baku’s victory and the disbandment of the local military force triggered a mass exodus of the Armenian population from the region.
According to Putin, Russia did everything it could to mediate the conflict and had offered Yerevan a compromise regarding Nagorno-Karabakh. He argued that an armed clash was “inevitable” after Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan officially recognized the enclave as Azerbaijani territory.Russia might be forced to ditch major nuclear pact
Work on the Sarmat silo-based intercontinental ballistic missile has “effectively been completed,” the president said. He also revealed that Moscow had also successfully tested the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile.
Putin warned that Russia might consider revoking its ratification of the 1996 Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) because it has still not been ratified by the US. The president did not rule out “mirrored responses” to Washington’s policies on the issue.

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 AND THE EVIL SNAKE THAT IS THE U.S. STATE
Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, and her husband Robert Kagan are both NeoCons and remained in position when Bush exited the White House.
Obama left people in place any sane man would have removed.
(Of course there is another way of looking at it, and that is that we did not perceive the real Obama, we saw the Obama we wanted to see and Obama is actually just as NeoCon-influenced as George W. Bush EVER was.)
Nuland and Kagan, and separately John McCain were extremely active in Kiev in the lead-up to and long continuation of the Maidan riots. Nuland and Kagan prepared placemen to take over once the presidency/government was toppled.
The US has admitted that $5,000,000,000 dollars was spent by them in Ukraine over the past 20 years... on “improving democracy”. I’m sure I don’t have to relate what was undoubtedly the true purpose of this massive spend.
The Maidan revolution started peacefully enough. In November of 2013 it was pretty much a good-hearted protest about widespread political and business corruption. And there was huge merit in it.
However, there is an element in Ukrainian society that holds true to a heritage in Ukraine stemming from World War Two. There was a widespread collaboration with the Nazi occupiers in Ukraine. Many Ukrainians joined Nazi divisions including SS.
See this article on Wikipedia for in-depth info on this:
‘Ukrainian collaborationism with the Axis powers’
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_collaborationism_with_the_Axis_powers
As in southern Austria there is a widespread justification cult about how it was really not so bad to be a Nazi and how they actually did a lot of good for Ukraine. No prizes for guessing who joins these groups, attends their marches and so forth: Sons and daughters or grandsons and granddaughters of those who took part in the various atrocities of the Nazis or who worked in the background for them.
In Ukraine it is much, much worse than in Austria. There the cult of sympathising with and even praising the Nazis has reached a sizeable minority in Ukraine and they are accepted and appear to have almost achieved respectability.
If you watched the videos of the Svoboda Party (ex- Social-Nationalist Party) supporters you will see what I mean. They don’t all look like evil, hate-filled Nazi thugs, some are older, looking like everyday folk you might see down at the shops, others are fresh-faced girls and boys who look like your normal everyday teenager.
But they have one thing in common, they are all charged with an intense, fired-up ultra-nationalism that is stated in terms of ultra-violence against Russia and Russians. And there is also a massive hatred toward the people who live in the southeast of Ukraine who they sneeringly call ‘Moskals’. In essence they consider them to be Russians too.
A large number of those with this Nazi-legacy mentality, of Nazi collaboration having helped Ukrainian nationalism, who had had military training in Poland apparently joined the Maidan protest and turned it into an all-out riot.
Around twenty police were clubbed, burned, beaten or shot to death in the course of the riots. Molotov cocktail factories supplied the rioters and these were thrown at lightly armed (they had no guns, only baton) police who in later stages simply formed benumbed lines against these attacks. The rioters used trucks, iron bars and a whole arsenal of potentially lethal weapons, sprays and actual guns such as hunting rifles, handguns and shotguns.
It was as bestial an affair as any of us would ever hope NOT to see. These rioters were utterly sadistic in their determination to maim and kill. Ultra-violent thugs to whom human life had lost all meaning and all concepts of human decency had been long scraped from their diseased consciences.
Many of these soulless sadists joined the Ukraine armed forces after the coup and were sent east toward those they hated with a passion, those they called the ‘Moskals’.
So, this is the sinister backdrop to the lethal attacks on the southeast we have seen (or have not seen due to the information blackout on these events by western mass media). These crimes have been supported by the US, the EU and apparently every western press title and mass media outlet from the west coast of America to the west bank of the River Dneiper which runs through the centre of Ukraine.
I’d like to mention the Odessa atrocity where evidence appears to show that two groups of pro-Kiev ultra football fans emerging from a match were deliberately goaded into a frenzy of hate before attacking a large number of pro-Russian protesters (as they are sometimes known, though I prefer pro-Autonomy protesters).
The protesters were forced by the mob into the Trade Union building in Odessa, a huge impressive building with many floors. The ultras (who were composed of Ukrainian nationalists in the main) followed them in clubbing, strangling and undoubtedly shooting them until many of them lay dead.
They then retreated back outside, barriered the doors and set the building alight with molotov cocktails (supplied by a group of around 12 teenage girls who looked like butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths).
Many of those trapped inside tried crawled onto window ledges to escape the flames. They were shot at from below. Some jumped to their deaths. Others jumped and survived only to be clubbed to death by the thugs below. In one image quite young boys, perhaps aged between 12 and 15 can be seen at a window. It is not known to me what became of them. I hope someone took pity on them.
Although the subsequent images of the burned corpses were available on the internet reaction in the western press was subdued. Some source said the protesters had done this to themselves. Others sheltered behind the convenient excuse that it was all too confusing and they couldn’t tell who had done what.
Is there ANY excuse for killing scores of frightened young people, some who were young women and in some reports small children? I do not believe any decent human being would think so.
#Odessa videos:

Returning to the Maidan, the overthrowing of a democratically-elected government (observers called the elections “fair" and pluralistic") would be bad enough but with the west so actively and enthusiastically backing the ultra-violence of the Maidan thugs it gets worse.
The Kiev junta put in place by the US (their placemen as described took over with 4 Svoboda MPs within the subsequent junta) turned to the sadistic young Svoboda supporters and the horrifically violent Right Sector militant group to give them a week’s training or so then set them loose on the people of southeast Ukraine.
For a time their actions included intimidation and blocking roads but then they killed some checkpoint guards and it all began. Soon they were mortar shelling residential areas, hospitals, schools and even an orphanage. Very soon these attacks upon urban areas and civilians became the norm and things became extremely bloody. Not that you would have known if you were relying on western press or media to inform you. They either self-censored on all of this or were ordered by western states not to report on these atrocities by the Ukraine forces.
In Lugansk on June 2nd 2014 there was THE most horrendous attack by at least one fighter jet and an unknown number of helicopters. A strike was made on an office in an upper floor of the administration building there which has been long occupied by pro-Autonomy personnel. Without doubts the civilian administrators in this office were killed instantly.
Down in the street in front of the building there was a simultaneous strafing by what appear to be cluster bomblets.
The Lugansk Atrocity:
RT’s Ruptly Report
CNN Report
Air attack on pro-Russian separatists in Luhansk kills 8, stuns residents.
Five civilian women were killed in this attack. In a video of the aftermath women in casualwear can be seen, with mutilated legs in one case, others quite clearly dead. One woman still alive but with skin gouged out of her leg.
A scene from World War II could not have looked bloodier. 8 people died in all and many have been injured/mutilated for life. All civilians.
The videos you will find if you look for them on YouTube are among the most graphic you will ever watch. But I suggest you SHOULD watch them.
(Edit: Most videos have been deleted since this was posted in 2015.)
You will perhaps say that surely the world was shocked and dismayed that such an atrocity could happen, that ANY government could do it in this day and age and that organisations across the western world were outraged and condemned this massacre.
But you would be disappointed. Because there was a perfect silence across the whole western world
Why?
For the same reason that the Lugansk atrocity has no doubt come as news to YOU. There was in effect an almost 100% news blackout on this right across the western world. The screams of the civilians who suffered incredible agonies while in their death throes were completely silenced
George Orwell’s ‘1984‘ world of two fighting superpowers where all news is manipulated news has come to pass. And where reality or non-reality is at the behest of the governing power. We are no longer living in the world we thought we were. A sinister ability to silence all press and media is now revealed. And in that silence no one can hear their screams except those NEXT to die.
And the future of Ukraine? It is tied in with the future of the virulent and paranoid fear of Russia which drives so much incredible hatred in the souls of some Ukrainians and some westerners, certainly including the so-called leadership of the US and EU.
Russia, China and some other BRICS plus countries in Latin America, Syria, Iran and others are now building the elements of the multipolar world that was lost as the communist (socialist) bloc fell. But not in terms of re-building the USSR. No, Russia will never go back to those conditions which incorporated deep flaws (for all the magnificent ideals and achievements). But the US and EU MUST be faced down and quarantined for they are lethally insane in their ambitions, in a state of near collapse internally with EU-skepticism growing EU is particularly vulnerable. And the US is so deeply sick with innumerable causes that it is only a matter of time before it suffers an internal vortex of collapse, decay and violence.
But the US and EU are even MORE dangerous in these parlous states. Obama in US was seen as an agent of change similar to John F. Kennedy. He has turned out to be nothing of the kind.
We should realise that whoever takes over in 2016 will without doubt be even worse. Best case scenario would be that the administration then would simply carry on as it is now with no worsening of the NeoCon insanity which permeates each level of power in Washington.
The danger which constantly emanates from the US means we MUST use every legal means possible to undermine its ability to continue to interfere across our planet.
Most people have few possibility other than their own boycotts or use of internet to protest. But we CAN speed the economic decline and collapse of the US economy by refusing any and all goods or services with an American origin. It’s not much but it’s something.
Apart from this get onto Twitter and condemn American interference with all your might. And the obnoxious junta in Kiev. And to go on doing so night and day. You will find many friends there who are part of the same dedicated team of pro-Autonomy tweeters. They are a lovely, incredibly idealistic bunch. You’ll LOVE them.
Protest the American state and its ambition to gain world hegemony. Support those who act to remove countries from the EU. The primary goal is to bring the EU to its knees, a result desperately needed as it has become, in effect, America’s lapdog.
Great to have you back.
