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) - 25th June 2023:
Key points of Putin’s address to nation amid PMC Wagner coup attempt.
A criminal investigation has been opened into Evgeny Prigozhin for calling for an armed rebellion.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has delivered an address to the nation amid a coup attempt by the private military company Wagner. He described the mutineers’ actions as “backstabbing” and called for unity.
Late on Friday, PMC Wagner boss Evgeny Prigozhin accused the Russian military of striking his group’s base – something the Defense Ministry has strongly denied.
Russian authorities, in turn, have launched a criminal investigation into Prigozhin over staging an armed insurrection.
Importance of unity
President Putin argued that “Russia is today waging a grueling fight for its future,” facing off with the “neo-Nazis and their masters.” He went on to stress that “essentially the entire might of the West’s military, economic and information machine” is being directed against the country.
“This battle, when the fate of our people is being decided,” calls for national unity and consolidation, Putin said in his address. According to the president, all internal conflicts and bickering must be put aside at present as “our external enemies can and use them to undermine us internally.”
The Russian head of state emphasized that any actions driving a wedge between Russians are nothing short of “backstabbing of our country and our people.”
Bitter history lessons
Putin reminded Russians that a similar scenario played out in the country in 1917, when it was in the middle of World War I. He recounted how “intrigues, bickering, politicking behind the army’s and the people’s back” led to the “collapse of the state,” and the “tragedy of the Civil War.”
“Russians were killing Russians, brothers were killing brothers, while various political adventurers and foreign powers were capitalizing on it,” the president said.
Putin vowed to prevent this from happening as well as to defend Russia and its people, “including from internal mutiny.”
Nature of the threat
In his address, Putin clearly labelled the PMC coup attempt as a “betrayal.” He cited “enormous ambitions and personal interests” of certain individuals as the reasons behind this “betrayal of their country and its people.” He went on to accuse those responsible, without naming Prigozhin in particular, of turning their back on the joint military cause in Ukraine and the memory of the fallen fighters.
If successful, the coup would lead to “anarchy and fratricide,” resulting, in the long run, in Russia’s “defeat” and “capitulation,” according to Putin.
The president characterized “any internal mutiny” as a death threat to the Russian state and nation. The president pledged to take “tough measures” against the mutineers, who have “willingly entered the path of betrayal” and prepared “armed insurrection.”
Those responsible will be brought to account before the Russian people, the president assured the public.
Measures taken
“All the necessary orders have been issued to the armed forces and other authorities,” Putin revealed. He added that a special anti-terrorist security protocol had been enacted in Moscow, Moscow Region and several other locations.
The Russian president acknowledged that the situation in Rostov-on-Don, southern Russia, remains “difficult,” with the functioning of local civil and military authorities being “effectively blocked.” However, the state will take “decisive actions to stabilize” the situation in the city.
Concluding his address to the nation, President Putin promised to do everything he could to defend the “country, [and] defend the constitutional order, life, security and liberty of citizens.”

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.

PRIGOZHIN AND THE POTENTIAL FOR GREATER GLOBAL DAMAGE
Right at the moment Prigozhin, head of the Russian Wagner Group decided on his mutinous act today, the USA and India were celebrating a new start to their relations. Only a week or two ago it was clear that the U.S. elites had decided they must start love-bombing the Indians. It also appears that there was intent to do the same regarding the Chinese. These activities were obviously designed to effect two goals. To undermine Russia of course, giving the impression that it was more isolated than seemed to be the case, create a cleavage between these nations and Russia by drawing them by these means toward them, and to stop the drift of nations toward BRICS.
Of course much of the seeming success of the Modi visit to Washington may turn out to be superficial and will not affect India's relationship with Russia one whit. But these days so much store is set by appearances and these facades seem to have more power behind them than in the past. This due to the apparent fickle nature of nations at this time in the absence of overwhelming U.S. power. Nations are drifting toward allegiances in the east rather than the west these days. This shoring up operation is clearly an effort also to redress the balances, even if it is only a surface phenomenon rather than anything deeper. The political elites of the USA need an urgent confidence boost right now as events in Ukraine look like delivering them an even worse bout of humiliation than even the withdrawal from Afghanistan gave them.
And they need to give the appearance that it is they who are unified with the world not increasingly Russia. They desperately want to disrupt the idea that Russia is being accepted and that they are being left out in the cold.
Prigozhin has now given them a huge gift. The leaders of the collective west can now point to the "unstable" Russia that is revealing itself as a nation at war with itself and a militarised government that is on the edge of being replaced. That the replacement is just as fierce an enemy of them as he is against the Russian Ministry of Defence is irrelevant at this time when they see the potential to disturb how Russia is seen by the nations they want to bring back into the fold.
Biden has undermined the partial love-bombing operation that Blinken took part in, in Beijing, but the main one seems to have been wholly successful regarding India.
This wrong-foots Russia at a time when it appears the Ukrainian regime is readying a huge push, probably to coincide with the next meeting of its sponsors on July 10th.And just as multiple nations avidly seek to join BRICS.
It couldn't have come at a worse time if it was planned that way.
Happily for the Russian president, government and military a deal was done through assistance from Alexandr Grigorievič Lukašenko of Belarus. The details of the agreement made have still to be made public but are rumoured to include the replacement of Prigozhin as titular head of the Wagner Group and also Sergei Kuzhugetovich Shoigu, Minister of Defence of Russia and Valery Vasilyevich Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Military.
For all intents and purposes the confusing events of the last 24 hours are resolved. The Wagner forces have returned to their bases and according to reports they will soon sign contracts to be linked inextricably to the Russian Army. Tomorrow it is thought attention will turn once again to defeating the Ukrainian enemy and the incremental liberation of the Donbass region.
Russia will, due to the brevity of this incident escape major damage, much to the chagrin of Zelensky, his entourage and western political support staff. The unity of the Russian people to act in support of their president in times of danger to national sovereignty appears to have been bolstered. The last 24 hours will be forgotten quite quickly due to this short episode at the end of Prigozhin’s time as Wagner’s master of ceremonies. Just as long as this is indeed the end of this particularly hazardous road.
