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.

Ukraine LOST. The Endgame in Ukraine?
Article published by Russia Today (RT) - 28th July 2023:
Experts say expecting Kiev to win is definition of ‘insanity’ – USA Today.
Advisers have reportedly argued that Ukraine is trapped in a stalemate and that Russia never intended to conquer the country.
Continuing to arm Ukraine and expecting it to defeat Russia is “strategic insanity” for Washington and other NATO members because Kiev is locked in an unwinnable stalemate with a foe that never aimed to conquer the former Soviet republic, USA Today has reported, citing multiple US foreign-policy experts.
The report, published on Thursday, hints at a shifting narrative for Western media outlets, which had been touting Ukraine’s alleged battlefield successes, as well as vows by the Biden administration that Kiev must be supported with massive military and economic aid for “as long as it takes” to win the conflict with Russia.
Georgetown University professor Sean McFate, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington, told the newspaper that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has begun to lose credibility – Kiev’s “main asset” – with Western benefactors. He claimed that Zelensky has locked himself into a position in which he “can’t win, but can’t afford to lose, either.”
“NATO is experiencing donor fatigue and disappointment with Zelensky’s bluster,” said McFate, a US Army veteran who also has consulted for the Pentagon and the CIA. He added that continuing to send billions of dollars’ worth of weaponry to Ukraine on expectations that Zelensky’s regime can win the conflict is “the definition of strategic insanity.”
Air Force veteran Steven Myers, an entrepreneur who has advised the US State Department on foreign policy, told USA Today that a stalemate was the most likely outcome because, contrary to the Western political and media narrative, Russian President Vladimir Putin never intended a war of conquest. While NATO members have argued that Ukraine must be supported because Putin planned to conquer Kiev and move westward, Myers suggested that Russia has proven otherwise.
Russian military tactics during the conflict have been “completely inconsistent with conquest,” Myers said. Rather, he added, Putin’s only real agenda was to keep Ukraine out of NATO. “Strategically, this war was lost by both sides before it started. It will end in stalemate, which I think was Putin’s intent from the get-go.”
US defense officials have continued to insist that Kiev can defeat Russia, even as Ukraine suffers heavy losses of troops and Western-supplied weaponry in a long-heralded counteroffensive that began in early June. The situation at the front is “not a stalemate,” US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday at the White House. He acknowledged that Ukrainian forces are “not going as far or as fast as they would like.”
Kiev has now begun the “main thrust” of its counteroffensive by bringing forward thousands of troops who had been held in reserve, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing unidentified Pentagon officials. White House and Pentagon officials are “watching the increased activity with keen interest,” the newspaper said, adding that one senior aide called Kiev’s latest push “the big test.”
However, Steven Myers told USA Today that Western and Ukrainian leaders have made vows on which they can’t possibly deliver. “President Biden, NATO and Zelensky have trapped themselves in a Catch 22 of their own making – unable to deliver on unrealistic expectations they created,” he said.

Ukrainian forces are suffering casualties at ten times the rate of the Russian military as they press forward with their “failed” counteroffensive, Putin has said. He reported on Sunday that more than 26,000 Ukrainian troops had been killed since their counteroffensive began. Russian units also have destroyed dozens of Western-supplied tanks and other armored vehicles.

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.

WHAT KIND OF HIDEOUSLY CORRUPT POLITICIANS RUN THE WESTERN WORLD?
It is difficult to know where to start in answering the question above. The reason why this is such a difficult question to answer in short form is due to the fact that there is almost no policy over which any of these politicians preside that is either appropriate, well intentioned or well applied.
The only thing these incompetent people seem to do is make existing problems much worse while recklessly lying about them and pouring money down various drains in response to them. The combination of criminality, deceit, corruption and incompetence is a deadly one and it is destroying the western world. All the while this is going on its citizens appear largely benumbed or drug-dazed into a kind of stupor about the collapse in their countries and the seemingly braindead/thug-like, airheaded political elites who run them.
It is not simply Joe Biden in the USA who is perpetrating these gross acts of criminality and incompetence. It is also his allied numbskulls in Europe that appear tied to that nation like hapless victims falling together in chains off a sinking ship. Political lifeboats are there for their use… but they seem totally blinded to their existence by dire hallucinations that permeate all their brains.
That common hallucination they all share is Ukraine in all its opaque manifestations as perceived in the deluded/demented minds of the western elites. They avoid like the plague anything resembling the truth about that land. An entire fake scenario of desired realities is being constantly thrown up about Ukraine, a facade consisting of wishful thinking and politically necessary factoids that just might give some positive spin to their political futures.
The dysfunctional approach described above has all the characteristics of a mental ailment where chronic lying has taken over step by step until it has become habitual if not fully resembling an addictive state.
Political spin has grown over the years from slight manipulations of fact to ever greater proportions of downright deceit. In the case of Ukraine the spin is at absolute maximum. The degree to which the U.S. Department of Defence resembles the ‘Ministry of Truth’ in George Orwell’s classic novel, ‘1984’, is astonishing. For those who have not read the book the ‘Ministry of Truth’ in the book deals in wholesale fabrications and lies.
It is quite breathtaking to see the extent to which the level of integrity, such as it has been within the western political sphere, has plummeted in recent years. Of course sticking to the truth was never quite seen as necessary in the debating societies out of which many western politicians have emerged in recent times. Embroidering the facts has long been the practice of those who sought to win the argument as their priority rather than framing the facts to most closely approximate reality. But now, the very raw nature of the outright lying and consistent broadcasting of those lies by each and every minion below the upper echelons is jaw-dropping.
Nothing being currently said by Joe Biden or those closest to him can be said to be worth a damn. In fact you can take each statement and reverse it to approximate the facts. They play their parts with scripts written by fantasists who aim constantly to dupe western populations, to condition their minds with falsity and render them into a stupified zombie state of controlled idiocy.
Biden, a political thug his entire life went into full on criminal mode regarding Ukraine when responsibility for it was given to him by Obama. Some of his criminal dealings in Ukraine are already known and many more appear ready to explode onto the western public consciousness. That is if western mainstream media is not similarly, indeed identically affected by the criminality and deviousness of the politicians it now serves rather than western populations.
The USA is now run by and for a politico-corporate entity sometimes posing as headed by politicians and at other times by directors of corporations within the military industrial complex. The policies they agree are virtually all designed to benefit the two halves of the same criminal and corrupt entity. One hand washes the other, while those they pretend to serve go completely unattended to, unwashed and seemingly unwanted. Politics in the USA has become a dirty thing run like a Mafia gang where billions in income pays for PR executives to snow the marks effectively so they stay unaware of how well and often they are being shafted.
Ukraine is just the latest scam that the politico-corporate entity above has foisted on the people of the USA and which has been assisted by their proxies in the UK and Europe. It is nothing more than a money-laundering scam combined with a ploy to extricate the top Mafia boss by the name of Biden from the ticking time bomb of his criminal enterprises there. Biden appears happy to wipe Ukraine off the map and with it all record of the criminal dealings of himself and his vile-natured son there. At this point these two crooks, through the office of the presidency, have infected the entire western world with their corruption.
Millions across the western world will now suffer for at least a generation as the totally self-interested politico-corporate elites attempt to cover their asses at their massive cost. Hundreds of thousands in Ukraine have already died to do so and with no end in sight to western corruption and criminality it appears hundreds of thousands more are destined to die in future. There appears to be zero desire to end the conflict in Ukraine until the goals of the politico-corporate elite have ground that country into the dirt and massively impoverished Europe as a result. American has become first at last, first criminal in a line of many such degenerates stretching right across the western world. Criminal, corrupt and incompetent. A devastating combination that can only be answered, solved and healed by western populations rising up and ejecting every last one these criminals and sociopaths from office as soon as humanly possible.
