“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.

Putin open to resume production and deployment of intermediate-range missiles.
Russia’s president is reviewing the weapons in response to US actions following the collapse of the INF treaty.
Russia could resume the production and global deployment of ground-based intermediate and shorter-range missiles, President Vladimir Putin has said.
Munitions of this type were originally restricted by the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), which collapsed back in 2019, yet Russia opted neither to produce nor deploy such weaponry even after the demise of the cornerstone agreement with the US.
The president made the remarks on Friday during a meeting with permanent members of the country’s Security Council. Hostile actions by the US now require Moscow to review its stance on the INF-covered weaponry, Putin told the gathering.
“Today, we will review the steps Russia should take regarding the unilateral moratorium on the deployment of ground-based intermediate- and shorter-range missiles,” Putin stated.
Moscow has lived by its promise to “neither produce these missiles, nor deploy them as long as the United States does not deploy such systems anywhere around the globe” following the collapse of the treaty, Putin noted. However, the situation has changed, with Washington deploying such missiles overseas, the president said.

“We now know that the US is not only producing these missile systems, but has also brought them to Europe, Denmark, to use in exercises. Not long ago, it was reported that they were in the Philippines. It is unclear whether they have taken these missiles out of the Philippines or not,” Putin explained.
Russia now needs to “respond to this and decide on our further steps in this regard,” Putin stressed, suggesting the resumption of intermediate- and shorter-range missiles was actually the only option for the country.
“It appears that we need to begin producing these attack systems and then, based on the actual situation, decide on where to deploy them to ensure our security, if necessary,” he said.
The landmark 1987 INF Treaty banned both the US and Soviet Union (and its successor, Russia) from producing and fielding ground-based ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as their respective launchers, with ranges of 500 to 5,500 km (310 to 3,420 mi). The treaty did not affect air- or sea-based systems with the same range.
The cornerstone deal collapsed in 2019 under the Trump administration, with the US accusing Moscow of grossly violating it. However, it provided no solid evidence to back up the claims. Russia has been raising concerns over Washington’s actions and potential violation of the deal for years already, pointing at the elements of the so-called missile defense network deployed in Europe, which are likely compatible with ground-strike missiles rather than only anti-aircraft ones.

Putin: Russia Must Respond to US Actions, Necessary to Start Production of INF Systems.
Russia must respond to the actions of the United States and it seems that it is necessary for the country to start the production of intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF) strike systems, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday.
"We need to respond to this and make decisions about what we will have to do in this direction next. Apparently, we need to start manufacturing these systems and then, based on the actual situation, make decisions about where – if necessary to ensure our safety – to deploy them," Putin said at an operational meeting with the permanent members of the Russian Security Council.
The United States not only produces INF, but also brings them to Europe, the president said.
Russia must respond to US actions and it seems necessary for Russia to start production of intermediate nuclear strike systems — Putin
"In 2019, we announced that we would not produce these missiles, and we would not deploy them until the United States deployed these systems in some region of the world. Today it is known that the United States not only produces these missile systems, but has already brought them to Europe for drills, to Denmark," Putin said at an operational meeting with the permanent members of the Russian Security Council.
Currently it is unknown whether the US removed the medium- and short-range missiles from Philippines, where they were previously delivered as part of drills, Putin said.
In an earlier interview with Sputnik, Russian Foreign Minster Sergey Lavrov spoke on the developments regarding US deploying ground-based intermediate and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.
"The implementation of US plans to deploy ground-based INF missiles will not go unanswered by us. Specifically, in this scenario, the abandonment of unilateral self-imposed restrictions introduced by Russia after a US withdrawal from the INF Treaty is inevitable," the minister noted.
The INF treaty, signed between the Soviet Union and the US in 1987, banned the countries from developing and possessing ballistic and cruise missiles with ranges from 500-5,500 kilometers. In 2019, former US President Donald Trump withdrew from the treaty. In early July 2019, President Vladimir Putin signed the law on the suspension of the treaty. The next month, it ceased to exist.

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.

ALL’S WELL IN LOVE AND WAR… AND THE REPORTING OF WAR
In the information age, fed by the expanse of the internet we have ways to escape the conditioning that elites use to mold our minds. Do we take them? Or are we STILL subject to the same old spin from above?
There are those who manage to wear their rose-tinted spectacles their whole lives long. Most of us however know that there are many vicissitudes which can affect and alloy even true love. When it comes to war they say that the truth is the first casualty as any war starts. If we look back at wars of the past we will also find that this fact very definitely covers the reporting of those wars also.
When a nation goes into war mode its news media is expected to support not only the troops but also the narratives their state employs to effect that support and as a secondary effect to bolster morale among the general population and keep them onside. This is a very understandable phenomenon during wartime. National goals are emphasised. The military essentially can do no wrong as far as reporting is concerned, just as the enemy can do nothing right.
With the above being true you might think that all would be clear across the board, that the news of the war is never objective and is always partial toward the home nation and its stated national interests. However, it can be seen by comments made across the internet that many among the populations of the West conceive the news they are receiving on the conflict between Ukraine and Russia can be taken at face value.
In times of war politicians and media elites suspend all normal rules regarding honesty in communications. This was seen in all of the regime change wars initiated by the western powers in recent years. Time after time statements making claims about enemies of various targeted states were false. It might have been expected that the revelations on the fabrications foisted on western populations by western political and media elites may have created an enormous army of skeptics. That it did not can be seen by the remaining high level of gullibility concerning the conflict in Ukraine.
Perhaps it is the sheer volume of pro-Ukrainian, anti-Russian material across the internet and mass media, delivered over the term of the conflict and, in the case of Vladimir Putin, for decades before, that has had a deeply conditioning effect and it is this effect that has created so many believers for this material. Repeating accusations over and over, leaving out qualifying terms such as ‘possible’, ‘claimed’, and ‘reported’ and ignoring that there is insufficient evidence to make such claims. Due to the different jurisdictions involved there is no redress before the law for the targets of these claims.
In addition to the above, there is still wide acceptance and respect for western institutions such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) which is clearly now acting as an arm of western states who are prosecuting the conflict in Ukraine on behalf of the Ukrainian regime. This further muddies the water and, in combination with western politicians and media baldly and repeatedly accusing Russia and the Russian authorities of various illegal acts without any evidence or any attempt to provide a holistic picture of events it becomes relatively easy to see why many have been persuaded to drop any skepticism they may previously have had.
War brings out the worst in all of us. Rationality disappears to a large extent, replaced by a jingoistic and highly tribal emotional response. We want our team to win and we will not brook hearing anything positive about those opposing us. This desire is used to the absolute limit by both the political and media elites to generate the hatred and loathing that must always accompany war if it is to be fought at its maximum effect. This being said, the consequences for the intellects involved in terms of continued rationality both as the war continues and after it has ceased are likely to be considerable.
All wars produce casualties and this holds true not only for those directly fighting within them, but also for the populations of the nations involved who are subjected to, at a minimum constant conditioning and, more seriously outright, sustained propaganda. The after effects of war can be dire. Politicians and media elites may degrade the sphere of communication to such a degree that it never quite recovers. Such I believe is the arena of lies the western world is now completely embroiled within that the distortion, deception and blatant conditioning will damage it and its people for decades to come.
