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) - 27th May 2023:
Russia could cut diplomatic ties with UK – Foreign Ministry to RT.
British involvement in Ukrainian terrorist attacks inside Russia can’t be ruled out in overall relations.
The severing of diplomatic ties with the UK would be an “extreme measure,” but Moscow could end up taking the step considering London’s significant involvement in the Ukraine conflict, the Russian Foreign Ministry has warned.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that “UK special forces from the British Army’s SAS and SRR regiments and the Navy’s SBS units are operating very close to the front lines” in Ukraine. British personnel are not directly involved in the fighting with Russian troops, “but their guiding influence on Ukrainian special-forces activity is evident in the sabotage operations Ukraine has conducted against Russian railway, airfield, fuel and other logistical nodes,” the US outlet claimed.
RT addressed the Russian Foreign Ministry for comment on the article, asking if Moscow could verify the WSJ’s claims and, if confirmed, whether this could lead to the severing of relations with Britain.
In a reply on Friday, the ministry said it was “well aware of consistent efforts by London aimed at providing military assistance to the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev.”
The UK’s support includes the supply of domestically produced and foreign military hardware to Ukraine, the training of Ukrainian troops in Britain and elsewhere in Europe, intelligence sharing, consulting support and “likely participation in the operational-tactical planning by the [Ukrainian] military, including sabotage, other operations, direct provision of cyber-security, [and] deployment of mercenaries,” the statement from the ministry read.
“We can’t rule out that the British participated in the planning, organization and support of terrorist attacks carried out by the Kiev regime on the territory of Russia, including through the provision of intelligence information,” it added.
The ministry noted it had summoned British Ambassador to Moscow Deborah Bronnert last autumn, following the Ukrainian naval drone attack on Russian vessels in the Crimean port of Sevastopol last autumn. Russian diplomats voiced a “strong protest” to Bronnert over the “active participation of British military specialists in the training and supply of units of Ukraine’s special operations forces, including for carrying out sabotage operations at sea,” it said.
Russia reserves the right to respond to such conduct by the UK at a time and place of its choosing, the ministry added, asserting that “all responsibility for the consequences of London’s destructive activities rests entirely with the masterminds and perpetrators of those reckless acts.”

Regarding the possible severing of diplomatic relations with London, “this is obviously an extreme measure that can’t be ruled out when taking into account the totality of all factors,” the ministry warned.

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 U.S. & UK WARMONGERS ARE BEING ABANDONED BY THEIR FORMER ALLIES
Why did Saudi Arabia’s state TV recently televise a skit mocking Joe Biden?
Why did the population of Hungary give Victor Orban, a thorn in the side of the EU and a loyal customer for Russian gas, a renewed and increased mandate in Hungary’s latest presidential election?
Why in France, did the French population vote in significantly increased numbers for Marine le Pen, another thorn in the side of the EU and advocate for France leaving NATO, giving her her best chance ever to become president of France?
Why are India and South Africa refusing to come on board the “Bash Russia” campaign by refusing to agree to impose sanctions or financial punishments, but instead maintaining their normal and friendly relationships with Russia, and Vladimir Putin?
Why did some European nations fail to agree on America’s demands that they immediately stop buying Russian oil and gas?
What could be the reason behind these developments other than pure economic self-preservation?
Is there a growing awareness across the world that the USA and UK are pushing the world toward a devastating world war without any mandate from other nations or populations to do so? A world war that would impact them catastrophically. And is there a growing resistance to the demands by the affluent West that the poorer East and South go along with their warmongering? It certainly looks as if this is increasingly the case.
Until now European nations along with Saudi Arabia and other loyal U.S. allies have been seen to simply ask how high when the USA says “Jump!” However, the geopolitical shifts in position mentioned above appear to indicate that this is no longer the case.
The failure of many nations not to jump to attention when Sergeant Major USA commands them is clearly a highly significant and virtually unprecedented development. As is the queue of 19 nations to join the BRICS economic alliance.
Can you imagine Saudi Arabia mocking a sitting U.S. president in any previous era, especially Saudi Arabian STATE media?
Can you imagine any state in the global south that till now was allied with America not complying with its demands in the way we see now?
The USA and UK are taking an ultra-aggressive stance re. Russia and China instigating wars against them to a potentially unlimited and ultimately catastrophic extent for all their economies. This is making many nations highly nervous and they are starting to rethink how they manage the risks and opportunities involved, including the crucial factor concerning who are the safer and most advantageous powers for future years.
Nations not directly linked as proxies, meekly subservient to the commands of the USA and UK are wondering when the axe will fall on them and seeking refuge. They are seeking a safe haven among nations who seek stability not war, trade not tension, agreement not aggression, dialogue not domination.
There is no indication that either Russia or China seek anything like the global hegemony the USA is clearly determined to have and hold. Their emphasis is on establishing advantageous relationships based on good trading conditions and cooperation, not on ideological exceptionalist dogma they conceive must be adhered to by permanently compliant states.
The USA demands obedience to its elite precepts, it orders from its present position of great power seeking to induce obedience and loyalty regarding whatever its wishes may be, it acts as a global dictator in other words, using the threat of sanctions and financial penalties if its commands are not obeyed. An increasing number of nations appear to have a growing level of aversion to this determination by U.S. elites to establish an unquestioned global hegemony along with its chosen group of acolyte nations.
The USA’s chief proxy power is the United Kingdom, aligned with it on the basis that both have the same world view as filtered through their combined exceptionalist viewpoint. They quite obviously conceive themselves to be this world’s natural leaders. Is this attitude increasingly grating on their erstwhile allies, both in Europe and elsewhere, especially as they appear to be in many cases the sacrificial lambs on the altar of this asserted hegemony.
The devastation to come of the recent activities of the USA and UK with the help of their increasingly unwilling European allies to push Russia into a corner and the resultant conflict and economic aftermath is clearly worrying those at the cliff face where the largest rocks will fall first.
Could we see more abstentions and even obvious opposition to the full-spectrum-dominance goals of the collective west (USA, UK and their allies) as time goes by and the state of the world in general becomes ever more perilous and unstable? It must strongly be suspected that we will and that the power to dominate the world by the warmongers of the West will be hugely reduced thereby.
