“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.

Delivery of jets to Kiev was ‘illegal’ – NATO member.
The Slovak government had no right to send the MiG-29 planes to Ukraine in 2023, a senior defense official said.
The previous government in Bratislava had no right to donate the Soviet-era MiG-29 warplanes to Kiev, State Secretary of the Slovak Ministry of Defense Igor Melicher has said.
In March 2023, the interim government of Prime Minister Eduard Heger authorized the delivery of 13 MiG-29s, according to the Slovak national broadcaster TASR. The new government led by Robert Fico has since requested a legal review of the shipment.
“The MiG-29 fighter jets were delivered to Ukraine illegally,” Melicher wrote on Facebook on Tuesday. He added that the Defense Ministry is “preparing a legal action.”
Melicher made his statement after ombudsman Robert Dobrovodsky, who was tasked with reviewing the delivery of the aircraft, revealed that the government has failed to find the required legal analysis of the possibility of donating the MiG-29s to Kiev.
“The ministry recently told me that it was trying to comply with the request and find the analysis. However, it said that neither it nor any of its branches had the analysis at their disposal,” Dobrovodsky told TASR on Tuesday. “It also stated that the analysis isn’t even registered in its databases in any form.”
Melicher has argued that Heger’s caretaker government had no right to make final decisions on delivering the planes abroad. “The Constitution forbids an interim government to take major steps in foreign policy, and sending fighter jets worth more than €500 million ($537 million) is certainly such a step,” he wrote.

Prime Minister Robert Fico, who survived an assassination attempt by a pro-Ukrainian activist last month, has opposed sending arms to Kiev and insisted that the conflict should be resolved through diplomacy.
Defense Minister Robert Kalinak has also criticized his predecessor, saying in May that the previous government had acted “in the most irresponsible way when it handed over [the weapons] that we needed for our own safety.”
Kiev has been pressing its Western backers to expedite the planned delivery of US-made F-16 fighters. Politico magazine reported this month that Ukrainian officials were “frustrated” with how the existing training programs in the US and other countries had not been producing enough pilots for the F-16s.
Russia, for its part, has warned that no amount of Western military aid would deter its military operation in the neighboring state.

Stopping Gaza conflict a ‘test for humanity’ – South African FM to RT.
Israel must not be allowed to “get away” with the “large-scale killing” it has been perpetrating, Naledi Pandor has said.
The conflict between Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel has become a true “test for humanity” and must be stopped through a joint international effort, South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor hs told RT in an exclusive interview.
Speaking on the sidelines of the BRICS+ ministerial meeting in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, Pandor insisted that no country “should breach international law in the manner that Israel is doing,” and that West Jerusalem must be stopped.
“You cannot have such large-scale killings, and the world just allows you to get away with it. So I believe this is a test for all of us as humanity to stand up and really fight against such abuse of human beings,” she explained.
Pandor referred to recent rulings by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), that Israel must immediately halt its military operation in the southern Gaza Strip and do its best to prevent genocide in the enclave. West Jerusalem, however, has refused to enforce the ICJ’s interim order, which stemmed from a case filed by South Africa late last year, accusing the Israeli government of committing genocide in Gaza.

“With respect to the ICJ, we believe the court has clearly indicated on the provisional measures that what should be achieved is an end to hostilities, a permanent ceasefire, and that in the case of the conflict, the people of Palestine should have access to humanitarian aid and their rights should not be abused,” Pandor explained.
The court has also been “very clear” about Israel’s broader responsibilities as an occupying force in the Palestinian territories, the top South African diplomat noted.
“Often, when we discuss what is happening to the Palestinian people, we don’t refer to Israel as an occupying force, which it is, and its responsibilities as an occupier are well set out in the United Nations Charter, and these have been neglected and disrespected,” Pandor said.

We CAN'T Ignore This - Ukraine Set Their Terms For An END - Ukraine Map Analysis & News Update.
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.

POPULISM: WHAT IS SO WRONG ABOUT CARING DEEPLY FOR YOUR OWN NATION?
Who likes to be made to comply with actions that we feel are detrimental to us or those around us? Is it so odd that we revolt against this harm to us and those we love?
Most of us grew up with some affection for the nations we were born and raised in. In our youth we saw much we wished to change no doubt. The young tend to believe that radical changes are required so that the ideal we visualise can be reached with minimum delay. It is only with time that we discern the reality that for the adults and for us who become adults there are benefits to stability that tend to be overlooked by the young. However, by and large the vast majority of us identify with the country of our birth. And why not?
So we come to the subjects of populism, patriotism and nationalism. And of course in analysing these we must also look at those in the centre ground, the mainstream if you will, who tend to sit in judgement as the entitled elites to whom all but their ideas, activities, thoughts, narratives, talking points and policies are suspect.
The recent elections in Europe brought success for many who those who tend to hold the central ground (as they like to think of it) call far this, far that, populist or nationalist. If particularly strident some of these might also be given the epithet authoritarian, another term from the comfortable, entitled centre to designate those beyond the pale. These are looked upon with disapproval. The voters got it wrong in voting for them. Only those in the centre are worthy of a vote. Perhaps Russian propaganda, misinformation or fake news got to them. It couldn’t be that they simply have another way of looking at things. There WAS only one way of looking at things.
The term populist tends to be spoken with a sneer embedded within it, an attitude of disdain, almost spoken with a sigh that uneducated primitives have acted in an uneducated, primitive way one again and they have to somehow deal with these idiots by blackening their name until they learn better. The liberal centre loves itself. As seen in the USA for a great many years now there are abiding attitudes of exceptionalism, of being at the pinnacle of human organisation and capacity, supreme and incapable of being challenged. The ultimately successful winners at the end of history, now willing and able to do whatever is necessary to the lower life forms across the rest of the world who act in variously degenerate fashion compared to us.
A populist is basically the scum of the earth to such people, a no-nothing, an idiot, scoundrel, tawdry troublemaker who will mess up the project to make everything perfect in the enlightened liberal image. You see how all the pejorative terms used across the central political spectrum and their fellow elites across the mainstream media world are generated and the use made of them. Who are they to call people populists? And what are populists really anyway?
A populist tends to be someone who wants the best for his or her country and is focused upon this goal rather than being focused on a wider project that inevitably emerges from those in what we could call central control. A populist wishes to safeguard his or her nation from negative influences many of which stem from outside influencers or influences. To the central controllers this presents a problem. These, who are often called globalists need to be able to manipulate entire swathes of nations to bend them to their own goals, and these goals can often be boiled down to buzzwords such as human rights, freedom, democracy, values and free trade. Those who have ambitions to unify and homogenise areas connected to these buzzwords have an overwhelming need to undermine those who wish to protect their own nations in respect of their sovereignty, traditions, culture and independence. Therefore their names must be blackened.
Take recently elected Robert Fico as an example. He has sworn to do what’s best for Slovakia. This is a mortal sin the the central controllers within the EU, an institution beholden in turn to the central controllers of the USA. It is absolutely not okay in their eyes for premier minister Robert Fico to be focused on his beloved Slovakia. He must be made to fall back in line with the mores of the EU superstate as demanded by Brussels and the policies that it mandates. Mr Fico does not agree (along with Viktor Orban of Hungary) that fomenting further war in Ukraine is a good thing, not for Ukraine and not either for Slovakia, nor the world in general. But this is not okay, looking after your own country or having a different way of looking at things from the mandated Brussels policy is simply unacceptable.
Mr Fico and the man who will become president of Slovakia very soon, Mr Pelligrini both see their job as protecting the sovereign nation of Slovakia. They are adamant that Slovakia remains a nation capable of expressing the will of the people who vote governments and presidents into power based on the clearly expressed views and intentions of the candidates for those positions. All else, the normal conditions and agreements made in signing contracts to join the European Union remain in place. Nothing in that contract demands total obedience however. That is why the veto exists within the EU rules so that nations are not required to obey by demand from the centre. Note that there are powerful force which wish to eliminate this veto and allow policy change by majority instead.
Mr Fico and Mr Pelligrini were elected by popular vote. They are obviously therefore popular. They are popular, it can be assumed because the Slovak people by a voting majority liked the policies they espoused, one of the main and most prominent being that humanitarian aid to Ukraine was fine but that no further military aid should be given and that there should be an early start to peace negotiations. For the EU central controllers this is an unacceptable point of view. Despite diplomacy being seen in the past as the most optimum route to resolve conflicts those controllers, controlled in their turn by those in the USA, have decided all possible military means must be used instead. Fico and Pelligrini are expected to go against their principles and against the clear wish of a majority of Slovak voters for them to carry out the mandate for peace as campaigned upon and simply submit to those who would completely deny they are being authoritarian. Irony and hypocrisy much?
