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.

Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 22nd October 2023:
Ex-German leader reveals why Russia-Ukraine negotiations failed.
Gerhard Schroeder has claimed that Washington blocked Kiev from a March 2022 settlement that could have ended the bloodshed.
Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has argued in a newspaper interview that the US government didn’t “allow” any compromises that could have brought an end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict just weeks after Moscow’s military offensive began in February 2022.
Speaking in an interview published by Germany’s Berliner Zeitung newspaper on Friday, Schroeder said he was asked to help mediate the March 2022 peace negotiations between Ukrainian and Russian officials in Istanbul. He said that although representatives of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky were open to making concessions on such key issues as renouncing efforts to join NATO, “the Ukrainians did not agree to peace because they were not allowed to. They first had to ask the Americans about everything they discussed.”
Russian officials have repeatedly claimed that the US and other Western backers of Ukraine discouraged Zelensky’s government from agreeing to a peace settlement. Schroeder, who has defended his continuing friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, essentially confirmed that allegation in the Berliner Zeitung interview. “My impression: Nothing could happen because everything else was decided in Washington,” he said.
The ex-chancellor described Washington’s strategy as “fatal,” saying it resulted in closer ties between Russia and China. “The Americans believe they can keep the Russians down,” Schroeder said. “Now, it is the case that two actors, China and Russia, who are limited by the USA, are joining forces. Americans believe they are strong enough to keep both sides in check. In my humble opinion, this is a mistake. Just look how torn the American side is now. Look at the chaos in Congress.”
Washington’s allies in Western Europe “failed” to seize the opportunity to push for peace in March 2022, Schroeder said. At the time, he added, Zelensky was open to compromise on Crimea and breakaway territories in the Donbass region. Since that time, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian troops have been killed as Western military aid prolongs the conflict. Putin estimated earlier this month that Kiev lost over 90,000 soldiers in the failed counteroffensive that began in June.
“The arms deliveries are not a solution for eternity, but no one wants to talk,” Schroeder said. “Everyone is sitting in trenches. How many more people have to die? It’s a bit like the Middle East. Who are the victims on one side and on the other? Poor people who lose their children.”
Schroeder argued that only French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz can revive peace talks in Eastern Europe. “Scholz and Macron should actually support a peace process in Ukraine because it’s not just an American matter, but above all a European matter.” He added, “Why did Scholz and Macron not combine the arms deliveries with an offer to talk? Macron and Scholz are the only ones who can talk to Putin.”
Russian leaders were threatened by the US push to bring NATO to Moscow’s western border by adding Ukraine to the Western military alliance, Schroeder said. However, he claimed that one of the justifications for arming Ukraine – alleged Russian expansionism – had no basis in reality.
“This fear of the Russians coming is absurd,” Schroeder said. “How are they supposed to defeat NATO, let alone occupy Western Europe?” He added, “That is why no one in Poland, the Baltics and certainly not in Germany – all NATO members, by the way – has to believe they are in danger.”
On the other hand, Schroeder insisted, Western leaders must understand that no matter who is in power in Moscow, Russia won’t allow either Ukraine or Georgia to be absorbed by NATO. “This threat analysis may be emotional, but it is real in Russia,” he said. “The West must understand this and accept compromises accordingly. Otherwise, peace will be difficult to achieve.”

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.

TWO VISIONS FOR THE FUTURE: THE BRUTAL & THE BEAUTIFUL
The American nightmare is unceasing. The madmen and women who control the USA have no intention of giving up their brutally violent program aimed at keeping and expanding their dominance. Their methodology is to use words like ‘FREEDOM’, ‘DEMOCRACY’ and ‘HUMAN RIGHTS’ as cover to justify their criminality in pursuit of their goal. That goal is to achieve 100% control over our planet and thereby to enslave the rest of us.
These devils in designer suits occupying the upper strata of American life, they control the mass media and the extent of their power over the North American population is almost unlimited. They can make or break anyone they wish using a wide range of tools constantly at their disposal. The so-called democracy in that country is completely impotent to stop them as by and large they control the most important aspects of it also.
The future if these criminals are not supped is bleak indeed. For the foreseeable future there will be nothing but war, war and ever more war. They want the entire world and if allowed, will get it. Then they will move fast to create a prison planet here when hardly a whisper escapes their attention. Any revolt against their dictatorship will be squashed with nothing finding its way to any form of media. Each individual under their control will be monitored and any suspicious activity, speech or association will be immediately flagged and acted upon.
No moral or ethical scruples will hinder the draconian dictatorship put in place by the victors if the U.S. elite criminality seen today in respect of both Ukraine and Israel wins out against those seeking a world that TRULY exists within the context of freedom and respect for human rights. Guantanamo and cancel culture are only the first examples of what will become mere trivialities when compared to what the future will bring down upon our entire world. Fear will dominate every household and place of public gathering. Thought police will operate in every neighbourhood. No one will feel truly safe ever again.
In the process of attempting to win the world for the USA and its allies the western elites in combination will seek to destroy all rival powers. Every form of governance that may resist them will be a target for every form of criminal tactic ever devised, both overt and covert. All rules of behaviour have been suspended to be bent in their favour. All previous rules designed to protect the individual will be null and void in the context of “protecting” everyone from a fabricated series of “enemies”. Lies will pervade every aspect of western societies. We see how western mass media has already fallen under this malignant spell. In future this will be a blanket condition held in place for perpetuity.
What might the alternative be to this black future of surveillance and arbitrary punishment outside any concept of justice or law? What alternate world might be possible to the darkness facing us all from the manic desire of western elites to control everything and destroy everything on their path to that goal. Are there people who retain enough sanity and humanitarian instincts to create a different world to that being sought by western elite power-junkies? Thankfully there are and thankfully too they are in the ascendancy. This does not mean they will win out and establish that better world. The West, though weakening, is still very powerful and is now so desperate and reckless that it may destroy us all rather than give up its dominance.
The better vision of our common future comes from Eurasia and the East. It lies in the hearts and minds of those who were never infected by the lust for infinite power we see in the West. They retain just motivations and humanitarian instincts. Their societies are not made up exclusively by those who see everything in purely aggressively selfish terms but have retained an older and wiser perspective where community is held in high esteem. The aggressive ambition-ruled, simplistic and egotistic western model with its casino-capitalism and dog-eat-dog mentality makes such people disgusted. They retain moral precepts as an inherent component of their mentality. They seek the common good, not selfish, individual greed.
The political form of the individuals above is reflected in the various institutions set up in the East such as the ‘Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’ and BRICS. China’s ‘Belt and Road Initiative’ where multiple nations cooperate in mutually beneficial investment is another example of the way community is emphasised over cold-blooded competition. Those behind all this seek peace and desire war to be a thing of the remote past, something left behind as humanity reaches adulthood. They seek agreement, mutual understanding, ever better communication and exchange and a general tolerance for diverse forms of governance.
The beautiful future above can replace the brutal era of western dominance now ending. It must. If it does not then we are left with the prison planet described in the opening paragraphs above. That is not us. We are better than that. We are at heart a social people, at best we cooperate as adults ever seeking a better life together, compromising to maintain good relations, willing to talk things through and come to a better understanding. That is the way of those who now stand ready to create the civilisation the most idealistic of us have held as a dream within us all our lives.
The battle to win a civilised world is ongoing. Currently the same brutal forces of the West that have scarred our world for generations still hold sway. But the global majority now perceive that this is the time to reject the malign influence of greed, exploitation and willingness to resort to violence that stems from the corrupted human nature of western elites. It is now safe to step away. The threats of punishment that have emanated from the West toward those who wish true freedom and full sovereignty can now safely be ignored. New powers have arisen that can free us all now. Free us to have the beautiful future we have longed for so long now.
