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.

President Putin's 2024 New Year's Address.
In a tradition that goes back many decades, Russia's president appears on television before the nation and gives a short speech summarising the troubles and triumphs of the outgoing year, and his hopes and wishes for Russia in the year to come. This year was no different. Check out President Putin's full 2024 New Year's Eve speech.
"Citizens of Russia, dear friends, we are seeing off 2023, very soon it will become part of history, and we must move forward to create the future.
Over the past year, we have worked diligently and accomplished much. We have taken pride in our common achievements, celebrated our successes, and stood strong in defending our national interests, our freedom, our security, and our values — pillars that have been and will remain unshakeable for us.
Most importantly, what united and continues to unite us is the destiny of our Motherland, a deep understanding of the utmost importance of the historical phase Russia is going through; the monumental goals facing our society and the colossal responsibility for our homeland that each one of us feels.
We are acutely aware of how much depends on us at this time, on our spirit for the better, on our eagerness to support each other in word and deed. Working for the common good has solidified our society. We are united in our thoughts, work, and struggles, on weekdays and holidays, embodying the essential traits of the Russian people: solidarity, compassion, and resilience.
Today I want to address our soldiers, all those on the front lines fighting for truth and justice. You are our heroes. Our hearts beat with yours. We are proud of you and inspired by your courage. I know you feel the love of your loved ones right now, the strong and sincere support of millions of Russian citizens, the support of the entire nation.
We have repeatedly proved that we can solve the most difficult tasks. And we will never retreat, because there is no force that can divide us, make us forget the memory and faith of our forefathers, or stop our development.
Dear friends, in every era the New Year is a time of bright hope and sincere wishes to bring joy to our loved ones. The coming year 2024 has been declared the Year of the Family in our country. A true big family is undoubtedly a family in which children grow up, where there is attention, warmth, and care for parents, where there is love and respect for each other. It is this kind of family bond across generations that nurtures love for the Motherland and loyalty to the country.
I would like to wish all Russian families the best for the coming year. After all, the history of each family shapes the history of our vast, beautiful, and beloved Motherland. We, the multinational people of Russia, determine its destiny. We are one country, one big family. Together we will ensure the safe development of our homeland. The well being of our citizens will be even greater. We are together, and this is the most reliable guarantee for Russia's future. I wish you a happy holiday, my friends! Happy New Year 2024!"

Articles from RT (Russia Today) & Sputnik International - 31st December 2023:
US, UK complicit in Ukraine’s deadly strikes on Russian city – Moscow.
American and British “consultants” have helped Kiev to kill civilians in Belgorod, the Russian envoy to the UN has said.
The US and Britain have helped Ukraine carry out the deadly strikes on the Russian border city of Belgorod, Russian envoy to the UN Vassily Nebenzia told the Security Council on Saturday.
Russia requested the urgent Security Council meeting after Ukrainian forces shelled Belgorod earlier that day, killing at least 21 people and injuring more than 110.
In his speech, Nebenzia described the shelling as “a premeditated act of terrorism against civilians,” arguing that Kiev’s Western supporters share the responsibility for deaths.
“The West is complicit in the crimes committed by the gang [in power] in Kiev,” the diplomat said. “We know that British and American consultants were directly involved in the organization of this terrorist act.”
He warned that “the organizers and perpetrators” of the strikes will “be punished.”
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukrainian troops used the domestically produced Olkha system to fire rockets equipped with cluster bomb warheads into Belgorod. A Czech-made RM-70 Vampire – an upgraded heavier version of the Soviet BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher – was also used, the MOD said.
The UN has condemned the killing of civilians in both Russia and Ukraine. Russian envoy Nebenzia, however, argued at the Security Council meeting on Friday that people in Kiev and other Ukrainian cities were killed by the faulty work of Ukrainian air defenses. He also accused Ukraine of posting anti-air missiles in residential areas.
US, UK complicit in Ukraine’s deadly strikes on Russian city – Moscow.
Russian UN Envoy Calls Ukraine's Strikes on Belgorod Deliberate Terrorist Attacks.
Russia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya stated on Saturday that the strikes on the Russian city of Belgorod were a deliberate terrorist attack.
"I’d like to once again emphasize we are not looking at a strike on a military target," Nebenzya said during a meeting of the UN Security Council (UNSC). "This is a deliberate terrorist attack that was targeting civilians," the diplomat stressed.
Nebenzya expressed astonishment at the silence of the UN Secretary General on the deadly attacks on Belgorod.
"We are surprised by the silence of the SG [Secretary-General] in this regard," the Russian diplomat emphasized.
In addition, Nebenzya stated that Moscow has information about the UK and US advisers being engaged in organizing the attacks on Russia's Belgorod.
“We have reports that the UK and American consultants took direct part in organizing this terrorist attack and they regularly encourage the Ukrainian government to carry out bloody crimes,” the Russian representative said.
“There is a possibility for these crimes also born by the EU countries, which directly and irresponsibly continue to supply the Ukrainian ruling elite with weapons,” Nebenzya added.
Regarding the absence of the Czech permanent representative to the UN, Nebenzya said that he refused to participate in the UNSC meeting on the attacks on Russia's Belgorod "out of cowardice."
"Where is the Czech representative, the country whose missiles killed civilians in Belgorod?" the Russian diplomat asked rhetorically. "We tried to invite today the Czech PR to take part in this meeting but he declined out of cowardice."
Earlier on Saturday, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavsky said that the country's permanent representative to the UN would not attend the Russia-requested meeting of the UNSC on Ukraine's deadly strike on Belgorod.
On Saturday, Russian Deputy Envoy to the UN Dmitry Polyanskiy stated that Russia demands the participation of the Czech envoy in the UNSC meeting to provide explanation regarding the arms supplies to Kiev.
On Saturday, Belgorod Region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said Ukraine had shelled the central part of the city. As a result of the attack, at least 21 people were killed and over 110 others were wounded, Gladkov said on Telegram.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that the Ukrainian military had used cluster munitions and Czech-made Vampire missiles, among other weaponry, in the attack. The ministry stressed that the strike on Belgorod would not go unpunished.

Belgorod Terror Bombing Signals Ukraine’s ‘Desperation’ - Former US Army Colonel.
Over a dozen civilians were killed and scores more injured during Saturday’s daytime Ukrainian missile strike on Belgorod – a Russian city of 340,000 situated about 40 km from the Ukrainian border. Sputnik asked retired US Army colonel Earl Rasmussen for his take on what the Ukrainian military’s terror bombing campaign is meant to accomplish.
Casualties from Saturday’s Belgorod terror bombing attack continue to mount, with the Emergency Situations Ministry reporting at least 14 dead and 108 injured as of 6:30 pm Moscow time.
Russia’s military vowed to respond to the “criminal” attack in a measured way without resorting to eye-for-an-eye deliberate targeting of civilians. Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry has announced plans to call a meeting of the United Nations Security Council to discuss the incident.
The MoD indicated that Saturday’s strikes involved two Vilkha long-range guided, cluster munition-equipped missiles and a number of Czech-made RM-70 Vampir MLRS rockets, donated by Prague to Kiev in 2022. Russian air defenses targeted by the incoming missiles and rockets, shooting some of them down and reportedly preventing the Vilkhas from scoring a direct hit which the MoD said would have made the strike’s deadliness “immeasurably more severe.”
“I think we see a sign of desperation in Ukraine,” Earl Rasmussen told Sputnik, commenting on the Belgorod attacks.
“They claim that they’re targeting military [objects], but we see very seldom [that it] is actually military targets. And in this case, we have a large number of civilian casualties. It’s desperation,” the former Eurasia Foundation vice president added.
“They’re trying to hit into Russia proper, they’re trying to change attitudes of Russian people perhaps. They’re trying to claim some type of ‘positive news’ they can provide their backers,” Rasmussen explained, not ruling out that the Belgorod strike may have been based on targeting information provided by NATO.
“It easily could have been Western countries providing targeting information. Did they provide them incorrectly? Were the coordinates off? I think they’re trying to strike out just at anything…That’s the situation with Kiev. I think they’re just trying to strike at anything and inflict whatever type of damage they can rather than rationally coming to a negotiated settlement or accepting the outcome. They’re in denial and delusion and they’re just trying to lash out. And it’s unfortunate civilians are being killed. It’s a pattern of theirs, and I think it’s a sign of desperation.”
Rasmussen stressed that if the logic of Saturday’s attack was to put “political pressure” on Russians or facilitate a change of policy by Moscow, the calculation was woefully mistaken. “I think these efforts will actually do the opposite, but I think those are some of the thought processes they may be having on the why,” he said.
In any case, the observer said Belgorod is a natural target for Kiev, since it’s situated just 40 km from the border, and is a fairly large city, meaning attacking it will be reported on heavily.
“Belgorod is big enough where you’re going to see it in the news, it’s going to be heightened awareness and so it kind of plays into their terror – it’s terrorism, that’s what it is. It’s basically terror tactics. And even though their political goals or their military goals are not being met, terror tactics are there to strike fear, to [prompt] questions, to disrupt society and the average person. And that’s what they’re doing. If we look at this whole campaign, we’ve seen a lot of terror-type tactics. Drones attacking Moscow, attacking the Kerch Bridge. We’ve seen the Nord Stream pipeline being blown up. We’ve seen other sites attacked. It’s basically international terrorism, and Ukraine is actively participating in that,” Rasmussen emphasized.
Saturday’s deadly Belgorod attack comes in the wake of the failure of Ukraine’s disastrous summer counteroffensive, which failed to expel Russia from Crimea, Kherson, Zaporozhye or the Donbass, and cost the country’s military over 125,000 casualties. It also came a day after a massive Russian air and drone strike campaign targeting energy facilities, ammunition depots, airfields, ports, fuel terminals and military headquarters using over 120 cruise and ballistic missiles and dozens of drones in Kiev, Karkhov, Dnepropetrovsk, Konotop, Lvov, Odessa and the Ukrainian-controlled portion of Zaporozhye.

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.

PREDICTIONS: RUSSIA, GLOBAL SOUTH, WESTERN WORLD AND UKRAINE IN 2024
As we approach the new year of 2024 Russia’s economic growth is running at a rate between 3% and 3.5%. Germany and the United Kingdom are in recession or very close to it and massively indebted, their plans for the future in ruins. Ukraine’s economy is in freefall. Only the USA of the western conglomeration has staved off the effects of the global western turn down by short term measures which will sour in the medium to long term. As far as the Global South is doing they are moving ahead with largely stable economic conditions.
So what of the future for these world powers, locked together as they are to one degree or another?
Of all of the above, Russia’s future status looks the most assured. As one of the world’s foremost oil producers she is in an esteemed position within OPEC. Russia is also a founding member of the BRICS group which has recently been expanded and may in due course number forty nations worldwide. Russia is drawing ever closer in terms of cooperation and partnership with China. In this context, the route for Russia’s second natural gas pipeline to China, the ‘Power of Siberia II’ is expected to be finalised early in 2024.
Germany is the most obvious victim of the sabotaging of the NordStream 2 pipeline, with the United Kingdom close behind. Germany’s energy supply has increased in price fourfold and the deindustrialisation of Germany is now in full swing. In Britain prices have risen inexorably due to the self-inflicted loss of Russia’s cheap energy supplies to Europe. Mass discontent is likely to be seen across both Germany and the UK next year.
2024 is almost certainly going to be a year of momentous political change across Europe and in the USA. Heads of government across Europe appear destined to fall like nine pins. Particular headline grabbing shocks to European elites are likely to be seen in France and Germany in particular. Zelensky, in Ukraine, is very unlikely to be in power by the end of next year. In fact he will be lucky to still be president by mid-summer.
The neoconservatives who have wielded almost unrestrained power in the USA since 9/11 are immune to all factors mitigating against their project to establish full U.S. hegemony worldwide. Their goal has been to gain ‘full spectrum dominance’ from that time to this and no change will be seen in their determination to effect this or in their willingness to use every means possible in pursuit of this goal. However, the increasing, crystal clear perception of their activities will spread to all corners as yet immune to it and resistance to this project will continue to grow.
Toward the end of 2024 we are very likely to see yet another Trump White House unless present trends radically alter. This will bring unpredictable results and will very likely mean yet another bout of rabid Russophobia by the Democratic Party. It is just possible this time that Trump will make good on his promises to mend relations with Russia however. On the other hand it could have the opposite effect as Trump is always inclined to do what appears best for him at any particular time. Having altruistic principles regarding what may be best for humanity as a whole does not at all appear to be where his interest lies.
The only nation where the political leadership is guaranteed to remain in place in 2024 is in the Russian Federation where rising standards of living and steadily increasing support for Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine will ensure a strong foundation for further progress. Support for Vladimir Putin’s leadership will soar from already very high levels to levels over 90% as it becomes clear that Russia’s goals in Ukraine are being attained.
The Ukrainian regime in Kiev will most likely capitulate to Russia sometime before mid-summer after what appears to be a springtime offensive being planned currently by Russia. The possibility that this offensive will take place earlier than this is also a distinct possibility. We may see it take place as early as January 2024. (The U.S. congress won’t hold a vote on providing more financial assistance to the Kiev regime before January and this may be a factor in deciding when the Russian offensive ought to take place.)
The nations of the global south, or better said, the global majority, are uniting to dedollarise their trade, substituting local currencies in an effort to exit the blackmail the United States has exerted through the petrodollar. 2024 will see this trend extend to ever more nations and talk of a common BRICS currency to rival the U.S. dollar and European euro will be seen to fill the airwaves and headlines once again.
In general, the movement toward a multipolar world will increase in momentum with more and more nations taking their chance to escape western domination to join in union with nations that offer protection against the heavy-handed threats that perennially emerge from the West. Western power will be seen to wane. The Gaza atrocities and massive failure in Ukraine will weigh heavily on the USA and those others whose hands remain bloodied from both these scandalous acts of geopolitical idiocy and cynically brutal aggression.
The prospect of creating a virtual prison planet monitored 24/7 as contemplated by the western powers since 9/11 after accomplishing the goal of defeating Russia, China and all others the neocons saw as their prime targets, will radically fade. The true facts concerning the behaviour of both Israel and Ukraine will finally, eventually emerge, replacing the massive disinformation campaigns of the past.
The world through observation of all the events which took place in 2023 and which continue in 2024 will be far more aware of geopolitical realities and will recognise ever more clearly which leaders can be trusted and which most certainly cannot. This change for the better, above all other factors will prove the most important one of all going forward. Forward in a dedicated and determined search for a better world, a world without the catastrophic West-fomented wars that have so traumatised our world to the present day.
